Critics are they better than you and me? $100,000,000+ and counting

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2006)

We start all of our reviews with the following information. My wife and I have seen nearly 100 movies per year for the past 15 years. Recently, we were honored by receiving lifetime movie passes to any movie any time at no cost! So we can see whatever we want whenever we want. The point of this is that CRITICS count for ZERO. Your local critics or the national critics like Ebert are really no different than you or me. The only difference is that they get to write about the movie and are forced to see hundreds of movies whether they want to or not.Therefore, it is our belief that if you get your monies worth for two hours of enjoyment that is good enough for us! We NEVER EVER listen or read the critics. We only care about our friends and those who we know like the same things as us. Well enough about that.
This is another one of the instances when I say WHY DO WE NEED CRITICS, ARE THEY BETTER THAN YOU? No! This is one terrific movie and Tom Hanks

and the entire cast are fabulous. Ron Howard did a great job with everything in the movie from the sets to music. Controversy? I saw none. This is only a movie and it is very suspenseful and makes you think what if? What is wrong with What if? I very much was against the passion movie because I felt it was too bloody and insulting and trash from Mel Gibson. This is a movie from a book that has sold 45,000,000 copies and if you are looking to be entertained for 2 1/2 hours, that is what you will get. The talk after the movie by all of the people in the theater was extremely interesting as the most common thought I heard was. What is the controversy that is so upsetting to the church? It is a movie based on what if? How many people out there have ever wondered if Jesus had a child? How is anyone to know the answer. There is nothing written about Jesus until 70 years after his death. Not one eyewitness took the time to write, draw, scribble or anything about his life. It is all stories made up just as the bible was. The Romans sat and made up rules and regulations and it was just like a senate hearing. So go and have a great time and have an open mind. It is only a movie.
