discodown   11 #1 Posted October 19, 2010 I've often wondered this, he seems to come in for loads of stick from movie buffs. I can't say I find him particularly disagreeable so why the dislike? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest   #2 Posted October 19, 2010 Because he mocks George Lucas? Because he's opinionated and shouty? Because he's a God botherer? Because he's fairly ubiquitous of late? Because they're Pirates of The Caribbean fans? Because they don't like his quiff or his big flappy hands? Because there's an 'r' in the month?  Who knows? Some people like Piers Morgan and hate chocolate. It's a strange world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Beakerzoid   10 #3 Posted October 21, 2010 I don't hate him, but I do think he can be a bit of a pretentious git at times. However his 'instant opinion' vids after previews (where he chats to camera as soon as he comes out) are fabulous - a more honest instant thought about the film, rather than an oh-so-witty snipe review which has been carefully scripted.  I do prefer him over other critics though as he can justify his reasons for liking or disliking something, so even if I don't agree with him, I can at least see where he is coming from (Barry Norman was similar in that I rarely agreed with him, but couldn't really argue against why he disliked something).
