Review of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) by Davidever — 27 Jul 2017

Sometimes I just don't get the critics. Is it because this movie is French? Does the Hollywood blockbusters industry feel threatened in any way by a French movie other than from the independant movance? It is really to be wondered when you read the critic of that guy in the Hollywood Reporter.

Everybody is entitled to its own opinion to be sure, but I'm puzzled by such subjectivity. Praising random Blockbusters with no imagination whatsoever and crappy plot and litterally destroying one (arrgh French) with imagination, crasy effects and original premises.

Yes, for sure, the scenario could have been maybe refined in some places, but nothing that justify a 20 whereas other movies with nothing more than this one (Guardian of Galaxies opus 1 for example? with its pushy and already seen pushline like "Oh yeah!!").

I mean, really? One thing people, once again everybody is entitled to his/her opinion, but give it a try. Don't let those shamy critics discourage you to watch that movie. And then, if you don't like it, you're perfectly entitled to that and I would be very much interested to read a review with constructive critics! Not those crappy review of so-called professionals.
