Equilibrium-Teknopatia + To The Film Critics Who Hate Equilibrium

Gunfight scenes mixed with col techno music eh? Quite well done in my opinion.

Shows off all the cool gunfights in Equilibrium, though I wish critics would stop bagging it as just another Matrix rip-off. In my opinion, this film is way better.

And so help me if I find another film critic who says it's just another kung-fu combat film... hey guess what? IT HAS NO KUNG FU IN IT! It's called Gun Kata bitches, and it's a lot better and more efficient than kung fu in a gunfight.

STOP SAYING IT HAS KUNG FU!

You're bringing shame and to your name and revealing your ignorance when you say this film has kung fu in it.

And you know what else? Your opinion doesn't matter if you're a "professional" movie critic. Everybody's personal opinion of any given film is an individual opinion. I.e. despite what you say, that film you just wrote a scathing review about (in this case, Equilibrium) has shitloads of fans who see your words as nothing but bullshit.

The Matrix doesn't have to be the only movie with awesome gunfights and men in trenchcoats fighting each other in a futuristic world where a dystopian ruler/government has taken over Earth.

The storylines and backstories of Equilibrium and The Matrix series are strikingly different.

Shut up.

Besides, anybody can be a film critic these days.

You're just one of the many people in this world who hate Equilibrium as a film and may or may not have realized that there are just as many people who love this film as much as you abhor it.

The fact that you're a film critic employed by someone to criticise and rate movies doesn't make what you say any special (after all, you're only turning your personal opinion into an essay).

What did you say?

There are many elements you studied in university that are not normally known by the layperson that you know, and you incorporate THAT into your film reviews, you say?

You're basing your review on "key elements" of the film that the average person is unaware of (such as stuff that ISN'T lighting, plotline or quality of effects)?

Well you may not have guessed this yet, but the normal average person is indeed unaware of these elements you are using in your review, and thus he does not notice how bad the film is because of this.

In this case, I thought Equilibrium was brilliant.

But I'm just a fan after all.

If you're going to reviewing films, good or bad, your opinion won't matter because people have their own opinions.

How else could so many people love The Fast And The Furious?

I don't like that film, but I acknowledge gladly that films have fans.

And with instructions such as "keep away from this film, you will be disappointed" entered into your "reviews", I can only wonder just how far your smugness can reach.

People might not be disappointed. I guarantee that there will be at least ONE person who will like, or even love, ANY given film out there.

Your instructions and judgements on the fanbase of a film are futile. Very futile.
