Butterfly Effect
|
Movie critics suck. Some of my favorite movies are universally panned by most critics. I just don't get it. Some examples include:
Super Troopers (35% on Rotten Tomatoes)
This film is comedy at it's finest. Site gags, great lines, hilarious situations, etc. I have no idea why a movie that made my cry because I was laughing so hard deserves a 35%. I guess my taste in humor isn't on par with the critics.
The LadyKillers (57% on Rotten Tomatoes)
Alright, it wasn't as good as O Brother, Where Art Thou?, but this was an excellent film indeed. There really wasn't anything wrong with this film. It was funny, witty and well acted. Tom Hanks people, Tom freakin' Hanks.
Pitch Black (52% on Rotten Tomatoes)
An excellent sci-fi thriller than spawned one of the coolest bad-ass protagonists we've seen in a while. Great action, good story, and excellent CGI. What's not to like?
The whole reason I bring this up is because I just saw the Butterfly Effect. It was an excellent film that was poorly reviewed for some reason. This film was clever and original (at least I thought it was). Ashton Kutcher actually performed well as a serious character, although the actors that played his younger self carried much of the film. Anyhow, I highly recommend this film and I highly discourage you from believing movie critics. They must've worn blindfolds and ear plugs when viewing this film.
