anyone who praises it as the best thing of all time or labels it as the worst thing in cinema, are idiots. reject both extremes and enjoy the fucking movie. 1 star is just petty and embarrassing

Do you extend this generous view that โ€œopinions must be firmly middle of the roadโ€ toward all movies or do you just expect others to be charitable with their opinions when it concerns a movie you liked?

Nah, I'm with them on this one. A one star review that consists of a single edgy one-liner is a waste of storage and bandwidth. It helps no one, it adds nothing.

Im with them on this. Ive seen people post one star reviews for perfectly competent movies, just to pull the average down on review aggregator sites. It is embarrassing

This is some straw man bullshit right here.
