The Lone Ranger

At what percentage of disapproval does a movie qualify as defective?
If a majority of the people like a movie, and you don't, I don't think that qualifies as defective, and I sure don't see that as an attempt to deceive people out of their hard earned money.
So much is personal likes. And we know you can't please everyone.

I will not pay by buying a dvd for Prometheus.
There is very few movies that I would disagree with the norm. Actually it is the other way around.
I like the first two Spiderman movies with Tobey Maguire.
Also like that movie Pearl Harbor.

BTW
Would you agree the George Lucas did those three movies for profit or that he actually cared about the trilogy?

I have NetFlix and these movies do show up for viewing. Is this not paying for them?

There was nothing deceptive about the ads. They clearly mentioned Gore Verbinski and showed Johnny Depp pretending to be a Native American with a dead bird on his head. There was really no reason to believe the movie would not be, at best, a borderline stinker.

But let's accentuate the positive. Here are some sort-of-recent-ish movies which do not suck IMO:

Little Miss Sunshine
The Dark Knight
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
Ratatouille, The Incredibles, and everything else Brad Bird made except that Mission Impossible sequel I didn't see
The Avengers
Crazy Stupid Love
Rango
True Grit
The King's Speech

Still cautiously optimistic about Ender's Game. Pacific Rim looks silly but it's Guillermo del Toro so I'll likely go see it anyway.

For an indi film they had no set expense on the effects and props.
The story was good and so was the acting.

the acting by default was ****ing awful

THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE RUSSIANS

it's like me playing robert e. lee and using my exaggerated south side chicago accent

The King's Speech was a glorified Masterpiece Theater. Maybe it didn't "suck" per se, but sucked far worse than "The Social Network".

You are not being honest, and not liking something does not mean it is defective, nor does it make it deceptive.

If it is done intentionally it is

[Sava]

I don't necessarily like sitting by while folks do something illegal, immoral, and against the rules of the site.

get over yourself

we talk about smoking weed all the time... legally, it is worse than watching downloaded stuff

"immoral"

OMFG what bull****

yeah i think george lucas is really hurting because i downloaded the revenge of the sith

****ing idiot

Well, I like it.

Or if you act like an entitled ass then anything can be justified as "done intentionally defective".

[Sava]

mentioning the word "entitled" has become a bit like godwin

once you use it, you lose any argument

[Elok]

Also, while you're on Netflix, get yourself some good kung-fu movies. Kung-Fu Hustle if you haven't seen it, Ip Man, and especially Master of the Flying Guillotine. That one's old and hokey, but it's just too trippy not to watch.

And I'm sure Walmart is really hurting if you shoplift Revenge of the Sith - shoplifting is moral to you?

again
you automatically lose
copying 1's and 0's isn't the same as removal of a physical item

are you going to drag out every failed anti-piracy talking point?

save yourself the effort and just call yourself an idiot
no need to demonstrate it to us all

I don't watch MT, so I guess it's a case of "it's new to me." Anyway, I found it enjoyable enough. Wouldn't say it was great. Didn't see The Social Network because I'm pretty apathetic about FB itself, let alone the dude who made it.
