nigger

So in other words, he's /ourguy/ confirmed.

>A sheltered American doesn't like hard wrought, well earned British spirit

>ywn be a professional contrarian like Armond

Eh, I can see arguments against all the movies he disliked.

Except Eastern Promises though. That is pure kinomatography.

hes right, the movie was just two hours of bombings. just a brainless action movie.

no

yes.
non stop action from beginning to end.

It's more about what he liked, desu

No.

yes

no

how can someone see battle los angeles as anything other than two hours of uninspiring mayhem using an alien invasion as a pretext to show off the directors fascination for calamity

yes

this is literally wrong

Jesus christ, was terrible taste.

just saw the movie yesterday, had read a bunch of reviews talking about minimal dialogue and atmosphere over action. both of those statements were laughably wrong

no

yes

yes !

Armond is obviously a contrarian but you can use him as a litmus

If Armond agrees with most critics that its a good movie, then the movie is kino.

If Armond agrees with most critics that its a terrible movie, then the movie is utter trash

Anything in between watch for yourself. Critics overrate disney, pro liberal agenda and marvel shit and tend to be way too friendly and like every movie that comes out.

>Battle Los Angeles
Thats just a 2hr ad for the US army

no

/ourfuckingguy/

>thinks I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry is a modern classic
Must be a fellow Bielposter
Truly /ourguy/

>/ourguy/ is a fedora tipper

YES

>Hey, I'm Arnold White, Contrarian.
>Oh shit, I'm being paid to do this!
>Hey, I'm Arnold White, Film Critic.

Proof that Sup Forums doesn't even watch the movies they criticize

I did see it, less than 24 hrs ago
more action than any movie ive seen in a long time

>Armond White
>White
>He's such a contrarian that even his fucking name is the opposite

Based Armond is our guy. Right about everything but Eastern Promises.

He's not a pure contrarian though. He likes a lot of movies that are well received. Skyfall, Mission Impossible, Chronicle, Fantastic Mr Fox...He'll give a movie it's due if he likes it.

My favourite one is when he shat over transformers thinking it was gonna be well received and then praised the sequel when he realised that nobody actually likes the films

>terrible taste
>contrarian

He is like if Sup Forums took the form of a movie critic

that's what makes him /ourguy/

BASED BLACK GUY
SHADILAY MY BROTHERS

english guy here. who is that nigger?

It's bizarre that Armond has such an extensive knowledge of film and chooses to squander it on his bitter war against modern critics. I would have never seen classics like Sansho the Bailiff or Diary of a Country Priest if I didn't read his intelligent yet misguided tirades, but his contrarianism has gone from educated disagreement to full blown defense for movies that are basically advertisements. He enjoyed the divisive Life Aquatic years ago, but now he professes that Jack and Jill is a comedic masterpiece. He even sees Transformers as the successor to the "auteur" driven series of the 1970s such as The Godfather. I just kind of feel bad for him. He's sold his talent to the highest bidder, which happens to be the rag that is the national review. It would be almost amusing if it didn't point out the flaw in modern criticism, which is that it prizes subjectivity to the point of absurdity. As long as you're erudite like White then you can get away with selling the most outlandish ideas to everyone. No wonder he hated Birdman.
Way to steal jokes from shitty youtubers

Hes not a contrarian, hes just a high-functioning autist. He understands film well but he sees things in a different way. I dont know how to explain it good, its kind of like being slightly on acid 24/7

he is a /classiccontrarian/ confirmed.

What a great review. Perfectly reveals his contrarian behavior.

This is when I dropped the alt-right shit. Once Reddit gets a hold of anything, it becomes instant cancer. Back to /classicalliberal/ it is.

>he disliked Tangled and Transformers

What's the problem here?

I haven't seen it but I gotta say this does sound like Nolan...

See yeah that's the thing, his arguments against most acclaimed movie makes sense, but his defence for most trash movies is what I think irks and confuses people,

That he didn't like the first but liked the second one

At least the fucker's consistent. Except for Suicide Squad lol even he couldn't stomach it. But yeah attention whore faggot. The moment that website finds anotehr way to get more clicks he's getting DROPPPED. I'd hate to see his JUST photos though, considering what he looks like right now.

/thread

And it's kino all the way.

>Gives the first Transformers a rotten review
>Fresh reviews for 2 & 5
Genius!
