AOTC the Most Disappointing Movie of the Summer?

If this doesn't belong by all means lock it

Read this article from TFN:

TVGuide.com is running a poll asking "So far this summer, which movie was the most disappointing?". Unbelievably, AOTC is ahead of that masterpiece of film-making, Scooby Doo. You can take part in the poll by clicking here. Thanks to Stephen for the alert.

Personally, I would like to know who is actually voting at these polls? When AOTC is losing to Scooby-Doo in any way, shape, or form, something is seriously wrong

Oh come on! The dissappointment of the summer is Spider-man, plain and simple. It makes me hate the character that I've loved for two decades.

 

Out of all those movies, I think AOTC and Spider-Man are the only two I saw. However, my parents went to see Scooby-Doo last night. The guy behind the ticket counter told them that it was a bad film and a waste of money, and that they should see something else. The only other time I ever heard of that happening (theater employees saying that a movie is bad) was when Coyote Ugly came out.

 

Dude, in less than an hour I'm sure that a "basher" is going to serve up an answer to your question which will be quite... undigestable. All of these threads start out like this, ask and you will receive.

Unrealistic expectations I suppose, that is what screwed TPM for many people. Another thing.. why do they have a picture of Yoda by that poll? Seems to me like they are trying to influence the outcome of the poll.

 

If this is true and the general public in fact does dislike AOTC as much as this poll indicates, then our society is sad.

Sure its just a movie, but something like this just indicates the state of mind of people's tastes and such.

People like Scooby Doo better than AOTC? Oh my god. What a pathetic country we live in.

 

When AOTC is losing to Scooby-Doo in any way, shape, or form, something is seriously wrong.

I couldn't agree more. This is insane. The people voting must hate all things SW.

 

If anything, the picture of Yoda should get people to vote for a different movie. I think that the majority of the people enjoyed the Yoda fight scene. If the vote is that bad with a Yoda picture, just imagine how bad the vote would be if it had a picture of Anakin and Padme from the love scenes.

 

This is incredible! How could people with such discerning taste as readers of TV Guide think such a thing? **rolls eyes**

 

How in the name of all things holy is AOTC loosing to Scooby-Doo? Just by seeing the previews I know it will stink! Talk about doo-doo

 

rsterling: my thoughts exactly.

 

I'm shocked by the results of this poll so far. There's no way AOTC was a big disappointment.

 

So have we all made sure to visist the link and vote for Scooby-Doo? I am sure that we can turn this thing around if we get enough people to stuff the ballots. We've done it before.

If they were disappointed it was their own damn fault
They saw TPM and hated it. Well, this was it's sequel, what were they expecting?
You can only be disappointed if you had high expectations in the first place.
That being said, I haven't been disappointed this summer. All the movies have either met, or exceded my expectations. Spiderman and AotC exceeded them

 

Perhaps the general audiences actually enjoyed Scooby Doo more than they did AOTC. But I guess that's completely out the question, huh.

 

LOL, Mace Windy is right.

I can't tell you how many times I have come across polls that have been linked on tf.net's main page with a caption reading "Star Wars is losing" and by the time I get over to vote on said poll Star Wars is winning by a large margin! LOL

YodaJeff,

You may have a point, but merely putting a Star Wars picture besides the poll is extremely unfair IMHO.

 

Well GriffZ, if that's true, it doesn't really say much for the general public does it?

Come on guys, there are thousands of us here frequenting this boards. We could just go to that poll and change it around in two seconds.



Lets all go vote for Scooby Doo!!

Rock the vote.

 

For what it's worth, the TV Guide website has the following next to its AOTC disappointment poll:

A Simpsons trivia quiz

A lead story about Adam Sandler's latest cinematic masterpiece

A Q&A hyperlink to the seldom-heard-about J-Lo


Oh, by the way, next week's TV Guide poll:

Which film do you consider a classic?
2001:A Space Odyssey or Beavis and Butt-Head Do America

 

I was just going to post a topic on this very subject.
I think there's a couple of things going on here. First of all, the public hears that Spider-Man is beating AOTC at the box office and of course jump to the conclusion that Spider-Man must be a vastly superior film. Second, it's popular to bash Star Wars these days. Don't worry, Spidey will get his bashers once the sequel comes out. Finally, AOTC is the top choice in that poll, and most people are too lazy to scroll down

Here's my question: most people who hate AOTC hated TPM as well, true? So how can they call AOTC a disappointment? How can a sequel to a film you didn't like in the first place be disappointing? It's not possible! It would be like me saying The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas failed to capture the magic of the first.
Granted, some of this disappointment comes from expectations based on the OT. But like it or not, TPM was the template for the prequels. Even though most people think AOTC is an improvement on Episode I, it's still TPM's "son", so to speak. I hope these people don't stick around just to call Episode III a disappointment as well.

 

If Episode II was disappointing, then Spider-Man was the worst movie ever. And Scooby Doo is the equivalent of soaking your eyes in vinegar.

Perhaps the general audiences actually enjoyed Scooby Doo more than they did AOTC. But I guess that's completely out the question, huh.

Ugh. Ack. *queazy* I hope, for the sake of humanity, that the world's population didn't degrade that low...even if I hated SW, I would still think Scooby Doo was just plain bad. Enough said- you know when you go into a port-a-crapper at a theme park, and you are overwhelmed by that smell of crap? Scooby Doo was that bad and I'm not exaggerating.

 

Why not? If they liked SD more than AOTC, why does that make them lesser than you? Are people who like Spider-Man better or worse? What about Minority Report? The point is that you like it; it shouldn't matter what other people think.

Oh, and to say it's the person's fault that they didn't like AOTC is really ignorant, btw.

 

Maybe Scooby Doo wasn't dissapointing because the expectations for it were so low.

 

If they liked SD more than AOTC, why does that make them lesser than you?

Uh...can I plead the fifth on that one?

 

We need to spread the word to ALL the other fansites quickly!!

 

You mean all of the TFN sucks fansites? Yeah, they'll be sure to help us out...
