First of all sorry for my english i'll do my best but i don't speak english i'm from europe... AND i haven't seen this movie yet
OKAY ! (only for people who hated this movie)
I sometimes don't understand why people WHO KNOW THEY WILL HATE IT are watching this movie and then rate it F or 1 or something ... That's petatic i mean if you all hate ben affleck so much ( i don't see why ) why the hell are you watching this movie !!! If i see some user reviews i think: God go to another movie! If you know it has only 5 % at rotten tomatoes and if everyone hates the movie you shouldn't see this. I mean after you've seen you don't need to complain! If you tell me: I thought it would be good ... and i hated it so much i don't believe you. I mean if I read a movie plot, and it's nothing interesting ... I'm not going to see this movie. Okay you can say ... it could be better... but if the plot doesn't interests you shouldn't see the movie. If you're not sure don't go watch it in a theater. Rend it at least on DVD You have to explain me this:
HOW can you HATE a movie when you have chosen for it ... i mean there must be a reasen why you entered the theater!
I have never seen a bad movie in a theater ... i always THINK first!
I'm not saying i'm smard i just want to say this: if everyone hates that movie it can't be good, ... Well you know that's just my opinion AND it's true: I've never seen a bad movie in a theater. But i don't watch many movies in theatres.
SORRY !!! I didn't want to seem smard! It's just that i've never seen a bad movie in a theatre, believe me or not! Just my opinion ...
KazOshay You must be feeling soo smart, and so powerful being an american, that you don't even bother to say what you said about European people....
But I just want to point out, how your reply shows that a certain "layer" of the american population is just so uneducated.
PS.: at least you know that Europe is somewhere over the ocean... Good! Keep reading and going to movies. Someday you will be able to name some countries too, I am sure!
You know its really sad that people get so crazy about other peoples nationalities that they totally have to diss everyone in sight whos not like them in a FREAKING MOVIE FORUM! im american and im kind of offended by the comment about us being uneducated but there was no need to even mention anything about Europe in the first place! grow up please!
Firstly, I agree with mimimarquez on this one, that peoples nationalities have nothing to do with discussing a movie on the messageboards.
45Me67 could have known he would trigger this kind of response to his statement that when you have read the plot of the movie you should have been able to predict the movie was going to suck or not. According to this you shouldn't have the right to criticise the movie because you decided to go to the movie after you read the plot (which more than often is a alinea with 80 words or less).
This agressive criticism (towards others, instead of towards the movie) is not really the point here. I watch a lot of movies and I like IMDB because of their huge database with all the information I could possibly need. Next to that I like to read the messageboard to look for posts of other movie-fanatics that could pull me over the edge wether or not i'm going to see the movie i'm interested in. Today I accidentally stumbled upon this post and I couldn't keep myself from reacting.
Get back on track! Discuss movies, not each other.
Oh jeesh, always the same BS - nerds sitting infront of the screen acting smart, dizzing this and that - be a man, meet up and discuss your differences face to face and stop bothering the rest of us.
And might I point out that calling europeans and americans stupid are actually rascism, so let's not stoop to that nazi-level, ok?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I'm sorry, but whoever that guy was who said Americans were uneducated or ignorant or whatever...BRAVO. That was friggin hilarious. He said what every person I have ever talked to is thinking.
Ok, I'm an American. I'm not stupid, unless you count an I.Q. of 139 to be stupid. (don't bother asking for proof, I don't need to give it. I don't care if anyone believes me or not.) I take offense to the comments in this forum against Americans AND Europeans alike. Who gives a crap what scrap of dirt you live on? Human is human is human. Phuk all the rest. So, without further ado, here is what everyone thinks about everyone else:
Europeans: Smelly, hairy, mannish women, snobby French: Pussies, stuck up, largely homosexual (in a derogatory way), hairy women Middle Eastern: (as a whole)terrorist bastards, ugly men, stupid accents, absolutely retarded religion Chinese: short, good at math, fat faced, funny to listen to when trying to speak English Japanese: commie a-holes, con-artists, generally stupid Mexicans: smelly, greasy, theives, hairy Africans: (generally, anyone who is black) smelly, big lips, a-holes to women, lazy, and unintelligent AMERICANS: unintelligent, fat, liars, overzealous, rude, arrogant, generally unwelcome in other countries
There it's all been said. Personally, I believe each description applies as a whole to most of humanity, myself included in several of them. I don't really care though. It only bothers me when people try to classify these descriptions as being regionally applicable.
Some people deserve to taste my fist. Over and over and over and over....
I don't need proof of your IQ. The simple fact that you would state your own IQ (a controversial test among us psychology fellows) speaks volumes of your intelligence.
You don't need to state yours either. The simple fact that you would state that you are a "psychology fellow" speaks volumes of your intelligence. A person stating their I.Q. as rated by several different tests doesn't automatically mean they are stupid because you don't believe in the results of the tests. As a psychology person you should also be aware that an I.Q. test is only a measurement of knowledge retainability and simple problem solving abilities. Even a socially challenged person can get high scores on theses tests. However, I am not socially challenged. I believe myself to be a well rounded individual, with a high aptitude for computers and physics, as well as general science and history. I have lived all over the US and several other countries, including Mexico, Canada, and Australia. By no means do I claim to be the smartest person alive, nor do I claim to be Mr. World Traveler. My sole intention was to dispute the view that certain regionally based peoples are able to be group together as ignorant or stupid. However, your inability to grasp that implied AND literally stated message has given me reason for second thought, especially seeing that you are "psychology fellow".

I brought it up as a point of reference. And it does accurately measure certain aspects of intelligence. Just not all of it. And as far as APD and BPD, I don't see how you can construe anti-social disorder or dependent personality disorder from my previous post. In my experience, people only make these kinds of inferences when they suffer thos disorders themselves, in order to make themselves feel better. As far as being insecure, you couldn't be farther from the truth. I don't have the time to sit here and give examples, nor do I have the inclination. All I originally was trying to do was express my point of view about the posts in this forum. Apparently, other people are unable to accept someone elses point of view. Instead they must nitpick and attempt to pull down the poster of that point of view.
Seems to me like you might have Asperger's Disorder, with a dash of Histrionic Personality Disorder.
Some people deserve to taste my fist. Over and over and over and over....
Oh for God's sake, of course I wouldn't be seriously saying you have APD or Borderline Personality Disorder (where did I mention Dependent Personality Disorder?) You take things too seriously.
Histrionic Personality Disorder? Where do you feel I showed excessive emotion? Not to mention that you seem to be seeking my attention.
Asperger's? You have sunk to a low that I won't bother countering. I gues us autistic individuals cannot come up with an intelligent remark to that.
This is my last post for you. One of us has to be an adult and walk away.
The only thing I don't understand is how you got that the Japanese were communist. For most of their history, they were made up of local city-states with a shogun as the head of that city-state. More recently, they became an absolutely monarchy with an emperor controlling all. Since World War II, they have been a constitutional monarchy set up much the way that the United Kingdom is set up with the emperor as the figurehead and the prime minister and parliament making the legislative and executive decisions. If they have ever been communist, it has not been any time in the last 2,000 years.
Actually, the Japanese Communist Party started in 1922 after the Bolshevik Revolution, and was a clandestinely operated body until the Allied occupation after World War II restored freedom of political association. The Japanese Communist Party gained legal status in 1945 I believe. It was a Moscow controlled power until 1963 or so.

Well, well... I'm coming from Europe, live in California and have a chinese girl friend and my I.Q. is not over or near 139. However I did not find the stupid americans yet, actually the ones I met are unfortunately as smart or smarter than me. I did not travel to the Bush states inside the middle of the country though, but I plan to do so...wait for my follow up :)
Well go see the movie and then do your crying. What are you? Affleck's sister? I've enjoyed watching Affleck in other movies it's just that this one sucks so bad that it should not have been marketed. It's terrible. To take people's money and give them this garbage is really in bad taste. I got my money back from the theatre. Others may not have been no lucky. Don't bother seeing this movie. It will save your time and money.
Let's not start arguing over who's got a stereotype right, or who's got a bigger IQ.
They didn't say that "Americans are stupid" go back to the post, they mention a "layer".
a high or low IQ doesn't mean you will or will not be prejudice or naive to cultural issues. i may only have a 80 or 90 iq (i'm sure i don't, never got it tested) but i could still be more globally in tune than the next guy with a 130.
And finally, 45Me67 is very accurate in their portrayal of american cinema-goers. If you don't like a movie, you go see it anyway just to PROVE that you didn't like it to everyone around you! SHUT UP AND GO SEE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SEE!!
AND DON'T ALWAYS LISTEN TO THE CRITICS! THEY AREN'T YOU!!!!!
