I’m sure we aren’t the only ones to think it but everything about the whole marketing plan has just been fishy. I do hope you at least get to enjoy the film when it comes to your country!

OMG! I can’t believe someone else is out there who thought of this. I’ve been thinking this since the first teaser (even though I enjoyed watching them) but then the posters and the tagline and the horrid marketing, the no screenings for critics – which has basically turned them away and made them hate the movie even more – and cancelling midnight screenings AND I’ve read that it was the studio itself, TWC, that called for cutting out many scenes in the film that made it rushed and choppy and made negative opinions even more negative.

Because we have these horrid critical reviews on one side, and as you correctly said, the critics are not looking at this objectively and the on the other side we have fans and general audiences who really enjoyed the film.
But the fact remains that the film opened to bad numbers on Friday and I just don’t know if it can pull back up. I hope it does.
In the meantime, as I wait for the film to open in my country, I’m going to stop looking for reviews and numbers because it’ll kill my buzz! 🙁

Thanks for your review. Can’t wait to see the film.
