Why did you bother to see it?

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2001)

I thought the first one was really bad. It had funny parts, but was so all over the map and gross, I would never watch it again. With that understanding, I WON'T SEE THIS ONE!
Duh!
All these people saying: I thought the first one was bad, but man, this is worse...
Why in GOD'S name did you bother to go see it, and on opening night yet! It never ceases to amaze me the shear number of people who will see a bad movie knowing going in it will suck, and then complain about it.
Spend your money on something else. By seeing this movie, YOU make Hollywood make them. I work there. I know.
You vote with your dollars, not your opinions. Studios don't care what you think, they just care if you pay. So, if the movie is bad, in the middle, ASK FOR YOUR MONEY BACK. Many theaters will actually refund the money, or at least exchange your ticket for another movie.
I have done this twice. The Mod Squad was so boring I asked for my money back. They agreed and gave it to me! Another film I can't even recall was so bad, I asked to exchange my ticket for a film that was just about to start. I didn't just theater hop, because then the wrong movie gets credit. I asked them to void my ticket and give me a new one for the new movie. They did it, gladly.
Why would they do this you ask? How much a theater pays to show the movie is determined AFTER the movie has been showing for a few weeks. Sounds strange, I know, but theaters pay the bigger bucks only when they earn the bigger bucks. If you ask for a refund, this gives them ammo against the studios, and the studios listen!
But if you just complain here, well, the studios don't really care. Word of mouth is not expected on these movies. It's a big first weekend, a mediocre second weekend, one good foreign weekend, and then to video. The only affect you can have is NOT GIVING THEM THE GOOD OPENING.
Only you can prevent Scary Movie 3, because, they are already in pre-production, and if this movie makes any money at all, SM3 will be out in a year. That's a fact.
