Among the twenty films that I covered with my survey, the greatest difference of opinion between myself and mrbrown came with Titanic , Magnolia , and Galaxy Quest . I gave the first two films three stars, mrbrown gave them five stars. I gave Galaxy Quest two stars, mrbrown gave it four stars. For the other 17 films, we disagreed either by one star or none. It probably depends on how you see those three films.
Magnolia is pretentious and tiresome.
Galaxy Quest has a few good laughs, but for the most part is relentlessly stupid. On the other hand, if you believe that Titanic has a captivating love story, Magnolia is a monumental achievement in original filmmaking, and Galaxy Quest is a hilarious spoof of Star Trek, then you probably shouldn't even be reading this essay. I modified my software programs to see which critics came closest to the scores of mrbrown. This was done to see who conformed closest to the conventional or mainstream opinion of a film. In other words, I use a more conservative scale.
