<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>...so far no one has provided a good justification for dislking the movie. -- ... but their must be sufficient justification for opinions. -Jessica Jade<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Since when does someone need "justification" to dislike something? I dislike tuna. Do I need to write a summary of tuna's pros and cons before I will be taken seriously? It is a matter of taste. There are many films I dislike. I can come up with no other "justification" for most of them other than, "It didn't suit my taste." Does that satisfy the need for "justification?" I did enjoy the first LotR movie, but any condemnation for those who didn't is ridiculous. The accusations of "lack of imagination" or "shallowness" or "immature" have no justification (ha!). Basically, the whole post makes little sense. Heck! My twin sister has absolutely no interest in seeing or reading LotR but she is extremely intelligent and has good taste in many things such as art and literature. Is she shallow, immature or lacking in imagination? No way! Someone needs to get used to others not agreeing with her tastes. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I agree with you, Gelenthor, that people should follow their own judgement and not let others define what is cool or right or wrong.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Do you realize this statement completely contradicts the second paragraph?
