Man your use of "good" and "great" in that post is confusing and ruins any point you were trying to make

I agree with your "the only thing that gets us is us" statement though

This truth makes me resent white males more than anything. And it is the message of the movie, from what I gather. The problems we face are Us, and can only be overcome by confronting Us. White people have it pretty damn good. Men have it pretty damn good. Now other races and genders also have it pretty great. . .and the oppression is mostly ill perceived at best, and completely exaggerated and overblown at worst. . . . . .but white men have it pretty fricking good as a demographic. I just wish they would not flip the frick out anytime anyone says anything bad about them. Makes us all look small, weak, and pathetic.


Yikes I agree 100% but that will upset 95 percent of This site

Of course it would be. Giving a bad review will end your career.

It’s probably a good movie but you can never trust critics reviews on that site

I do admire how you tried to disguise your white guilt by turning it into "white power" or some such bullshite.
where do you see guilt?

I have no white guilt. Acknowledging that being white is awesome, makes me guilty?

I don't accept the existence of white privilege.

I just disagree with YOUR white fragility

Toughen up, buttercup

Black panther and Get Out held 100% or near 100% at some point right?

Both were excellent movies so I’m not sure what your point is.

Black Panther was ok. It was 2nd or maybe even 3rd best Marvel movie of its year. Get out was awesome as I bet Us will be.

I don't know why Get Out wouldn't be close to 100%.

Even if you don't think Get Out is incredible, I don't know who would give it a negative review. It's well written, well paced, well acted and original. On a 5 star scale, I struggle to see how it isn't at least a 3, even for a person who isn't in love with it.

I didn't like Black Panther as much as Get Out, but that's another movie where I struggle to see how it would generate a lot of negative reviews. Even if you don't love it, it's still a likeable enough movie.

I think this is the common RT misconception, that % equates to quality. If 100% of critics have a film at 3 of 5 stars, that's 100% positive.

There are certain kind of posters on this board who have this explained to them ad nauseam but they still don't seem to understand or care that the RT score is not an average of the review scores.

It'll usually goes something like

Politard Invader - "OMFG this fricking *insert minority or social cause here* movie has a 85% on RT!?!?! What a bunch of paid for pandering propaganda bullshite!!!"

MTV Shire Folk - "Actually, the reviews average out to a 6.5 so most people thought it was just above average overall. For me it was probably a middle tier movie but moderately enjoyable."

Politard Invader - "bullshite the score is a conspiracy!!! You lib soi boy cuck!!! This is just Disney buying their reviews to force their SJW bullshite down our throats!!!! The critics are either bought or too scared to say anything about *insert minority or social cause here*!!!"

MTV Shire Folk -
