I agree. BTW I am still unhappy. You have opened a fresh wound. I think I yelled "damn it" in the theater.
Gunn: Well, how horrible is this thing? Lorne: I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I think I yelled "damn it" in the theater.
Whereas I was spoiled for it, so I wasn't surprised.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters should be renamed Hansel and Gretel Swear A LOT or possibly Hansel and Gretel: Diabetes DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT.
Other than the diabeeeetus issue, I have zero complaints. The movie does exactly what the title says. Plus, the swearing. Seriously, I am totally happy with that movie.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
To be fair, while the "Sugar Sickness" was clearly meant to suggest diabetes I'm going to hazard a guess that being magically inflicted by a witch might make it operate a bit differently than the real world version.

That was Tim's take, too. He blamed it on eating magic/cursed candy.
I'm amused that I can handwave witches, both good and evil, and trolls, but the diabetes thing tripped me up.

Don't feel alone, my "Oh come ON!" moment while watching Battleship was about six guys being able to carry a shell for a 16" gun from one end of the ship to the other, not about the leapfrogging aquatic alien spaceship or the 200 mile-wide force field bubble.

six guys being able to carry a shell for a 16" gun from one end of the ship to the other,
sadly, yes
But I still enjoyed the heck out of that movie, because seeing the Mo and her ancient crew in even unlikely action far transcended any gripes I had.

I'm glad to have a bit of fore-warning as I have plans to see this (and hopefully wave my hands so as to not be irked) this weekend.
Signed, finally saw The Hobbit, and if there had been One.More.Fat.Joke, I would be about ready to throttle PJ.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
All right, that's the best one yet. They keep showing more and more, and I should probably stop watching them, but I'm pretty excited for the movie now. (Not that I wasn't generally excited before, but still hesitant after Iron Man 2. )
