I can only imagine that the comments would be less vituperative if the article had not made assumptions about the nature of the film fans. Indeed characterising the film's biggest fans as basement-lurking neckbeards seems a bit out of touch. Perhaps he's not aware of tumblr. That being said, I did think the review was appropriately hostile towards the Hollywood establishment, which I think is the true villain here.
Apologies for shilling my own stuff, but my (very long) review, and follow up to the first one, is here if anyone would care to read it (although be warned, there's a touch of light swearing for comedic effect as my blog reviews tend to be a bit more rambunctious than my posts on the Downs):
