Harry's massive backpeddling review on Batman V superman

Wow poor bastard even though he's got more money than I'll probably ever see, but yeah can't win in his case. Should have kept that review to himself. Putting out a retraction review takes a bite out of your credibility in my opinion. From here forward none of his initial reaction reviews will be trusted anymore since he can always say, yeah I had a spec of dust in my eye on that first screening, totally got better the second time...

I've known harry ALL of my childhood. I will NEVER look down on him. He's NOT a bad person or a studio shill. I know him since the days when he was just this nobody. He's still a nobody to me. All this GEEK GOD bullshit is a joke. Harry's just harry. That crazy guy I saw on tv one day and thought was awesome for being himself and not trying to bend his opinion to suit anyone.

This second review is exactly the harry I grew up with. A human, flawed, geeky, comicbook and super hero movie nut and if he says he liked the movie more after digesting it, I can definitely see that being true.

It's what we movie geeks do, as pathetic and virginish as it is. We don't look at these geek movies in black and white terms. If you've ever been a fan of comics as a kid, you know how awful most of them are, but you learn to deal with that and find those bits that do work about the hero or just pull something out your ass to make it work, whatever. It's called imagination. There's no one size fits all with these things. Your imagination is as much a part of why it's great as the stuff it's made of.

Yeah I liked the whole rocky series as a kid. I liked all the ninja turtles movies as a kid. I liked all the batman and superman movies as a kid. I was thrown off by the drop in quality from the first film, but I made up for that with my imagination and continued to just live in the universe the movie created and rolled with it. I still do that. Like, If I feel the need I'll actually kinda try to make superman returns fit in with the original superman movies as a true next chapter. It's all about granting these things some kind of leniency and space in the end. A kid will watch all the superman movies from start to finish and not give a damn a bout all the details being perfect. It's about just having fun in that universe.

There are exceptions to this. Michael bay's transformers which is what in my mind I think I'll look at Snyder's whole super hero movie series as. Those movies can not be forgiven. At least if the first movie was decent and the sequels were ass, ok I'd do what I usually do and show mercy on the sequels because they stuck the landing with the first one. But there's nothing that can save transformers. Like nothing. It's like if the first power rangers movie was Turbo and then each sequels was like just MORE of Turbo and no attempt was made to at least get it right like the first power rangers movie.

First time I've ever seen Harry take back a review, like this is a new frontier. The reactions to it are as expected. No, he's not trying to save the movie. He's probably broken bread between what he expected and what the movie actually is... Something a lot of people apparently can't do.
