"Rotten Tomato" reviews in for "Atlas Shrugged"

[K8-EEE]

A dismal 8% "fresh" rating, meaning, 92% of the critics so far hate it. Hey! Guess who likes it? Movie critic from the (Murdoch-owned) NY Post. What a surprise. Guess who else? The dumbass teabaggers who flocked to opening weekend. Never before have I seen 8% positive rating for critics with 85% positive for the audience! It seems like "objectivism" fans are not too objective or demanding of excellence when it comes to film, ha!

A few excerpts of the reviews at the link:


"An eye-rollingly clumsy amble through a Middle Earth of Monopolists for the rest of us." (Orlando Sentinel)

"Ayn Rand's monumental 1,168-page, 1957 novel gets the low-budget, no-talent treatment and sits there flapping on screen like a bludgeoned seal." (Rolling Stone)

"Don't hold your breath for parts 2 and 3." (Wall St. Journal)

"Atlas Shrugged. I arched eyebrow, scrunched forehead, yawned." (Philadelphia Inquirer)


And now for the "Fair and Balanced" NY POST:

"Though a bit stiff in the joints and acted by an undistinguished cast amid TV-movie trappings, this low-budget adaptation of Ayn Rand's novel nevertheless contains a fire and a fury that makes it more compelling than the average mass-produced studio item."

LOL OH BROTHER!!

3. Another "Expelled" or "American Carol".

It gets great reviews from the believers but panned by everyone else.

IMDB is being over-run by the Randians.

6. I don't plan to see it but I usually use the critics rating to determine

if I will like a movie or not. If they like it I usually don't and if they pan it I usually enjoy it.
