Warrior

when a film has a 92 percent approval maybe one should question your qualifications to review a movie like this one. its probably not even a movie that you would prefer to see, thus unreviewable {acccurately that is}.

You didn't think it was going to have a fucking 100 did you? Is there anything wrong with disagreeing with the tomato meter? Just because you don't agree doesn't make them a bad critic. It's just a fan favorite.

The argument that "it doesn't have to have 100%, not everyone has to like it" is BULLSHIT. To get a fresh rating, all it needs from a particular reviewer is better than a 5 out of 10. Even if you don't like the subject matter, or violence or whatever, as a film critic, you should be able to recognize a decent movie. And thats all it needs to be to be fresh, decent (6/10). A lot of movies should have 100% and a lot should be 0%. A movie of this caliber should get a AT LEAST a 6/10 from anyone whose not retarded.
Speaking of retarded, I accidentally saw Just Go with It on opening day (don't ask). This was Sandlers crowd and you wouldn't believe the number of punchlines that got no reaction from a packed house. To say this movie is less than 5/10 and Just Go with It is over 5/10 is mind boggling.

It's now at 83%...and for good reason..it's not a great film by any standards.

Erik Zarins

Did you even watch the movie????
It's Simply The BEST SPORTS MOVIE OF ALL TIME

beats Rocky by a Knockout!

Sep 10 - 05:07 PM

Guy Dadsman

Go watch Raging Bull. Do not give that claim to this movie it wasn't good.

Jan 7 - 08:15 PM

Cyneva Dalton-Vazquez

Definitely better than Rocky - by a long shot. Great movie.

Feb 13 - 03:31 PM

Alan Dallas

How can even compare the two films..."Rocky" set a very high bar that "Warrior" does not even come close to.

Feb 17 - 04:40 PM

JP Moneypants

You need to re watch Rocky man. Extremely slow movie.

Aug 21 - 05:56 PM

Bobby Maddox

This woman gave good reviews to Just Go With It and Burlesque but bad reviews to Source Code, Hanna, and Buried. She clearly isn't capable of digesting anything truly deep or though provoking since she only likes mind-numbering chick flicks and Romcoms.

Sep 10 - 06:26 PM

Bobby Maddox

Furthermore, when it comes down to it, this is a man's movie. Of course she would hate it.

Sep 10 - 06:28 PM

JP Moneypants

Mans movie or not she should be able to recognize a decent movie. Can imagine taking her advise on where you will put your theater dollars? Unreal. Maybe this is why Time is struggling.
Also, I watched this movie with a couple of guys and a group of women. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. Almost all the women cried multiple times during the course of the movie. Just because its a sports movie, doesn't make it automatically a guy film. It wasn't some JCVD flick. All the women I saw it with enjoyed it very much.

Aug 23 - 02:33 PM

Hahaha, Burial, Hannah and Source Code were not deep at all.

Do you not watch many movies? Do you consider the Dark Knight the #1 movie of all time? Did you find Avatar had good direction, dialogue or an original story? Is Fight Club the deepest film you've ever seen?

Sep 24 - 01:30 PM

Jack Graham

Wow. Missed the point. Don't reply to a someone's comment if you have issues with understanding... you know... logic. You barf out poorly thought out arguments and then pawn them off like they were his to begin with. Poor form.

Dec 11 - 02:19 AM

Taylor Brooks

logic, lol

Dec 24 - 09:30 PM

Guy Dadsman

Good job. I know exactly what you mean.

Jan 7 - 08:18 PM

Jacob Nielsen

yo tdk was the best film of all time! (No, but you are clearly one of the fucks trying to be critical on a well formed crime saga from comic lore, and, why, it was a damn good movie.) As for Warrior, truly a wonderful film about an unusual way to revive a broken family.

May 11 - 12:24 AM

Luis Ginorio

Worst reviewer ever. A flake who can't give a man's man movie the credit it's due. And she gave Burlesque a good review hahaha Credibility destroyed.

Sep 11 - 06:49 AM

Cole Jaeger

Well, fuck you. Warrior is not going to have a 100, and doesn't deserve it. Not everyone is going to hate Burlesque either. Her opinion matter more than yours so fuck you

Mar 5 - 01:48 PM

Jacob Nielsen

Cole J is your ranting serious? Or are you fucking Mary Pols over here? Why does her critique matter more than the rest? Because media says so? Well...your opinion is that of ant shit.

May 11 - 12:29 AM

Nilay Nayak

go to hell....her reviews doesnot matter....its bullshit...this is one of the best sports movie and every guy loved it...those who didnt should cut off their fake balls

Jacob Furuya

Nolte? You praise Noltes performance above Hardy? Tom Hardy is the biggest baddest and most talented man in Hollywood and he's gonna climb to the top.

Sep 11 - 01:12 PM

Alexander Polazzo

everyone has praised Nolte. I haven't seen this yet but apparently he was very good in his role

Sep 11 - 06:37 PM

Maggie Groves

nolte was the only good thing about this movie.

Sep 12 - 06:24 PM

Matthew Glover

You obviously haven't seen this movie. This movie is absolutely amazing, and I have to say one of the best movies I have seen come out of 2011. I was so invested in the characters that every fight was THE fight.

Dec 30 - 11:12 PM

Cyneva Dalton-Vazquez

Nolte was amazing in this movie. Overall, the acting was excellent and the story was well-told.

Feb 13 - 03:32 PM

Jola Idowu

Anyone who gives a good review to Just Go With It should not be trusted

Sep 11 - 09:59 PM

Evan Harder

Apparently you have no appreciation or respect for this type of film.

Sep 12 - 12:19 PM

Max Gillis

All of you are just mad that every damn person in the world didn't like this movie.

Sep 12 - 08:21 PM

Riley Fishcer

You mean 'that *not* every damn person in the world liked this movie.'

Yeah, I know. I'm a douche.

Sep 12 - 11:49 PM

Jack Graham

No you're not. It's a pretty dumb sentence.

Dec 11 - 02:22 AM

J Sullivan

You're both dumb douches. The sentence would contain a double negative if he used "not" instead of "that." Re-read his post, then go fuck yourselves.

Jan 17 - 10:37 PM

Pee Murz

your a broad...your opinion is worthless..not just in reviews but just in general..bye

Sep 13 - 02:24 PM

Mike Pastien

Movies in this genre should not be reviewed on the same criterion that�??s applied to complex dramas. That said, this movie has several elements that are surprisingly deep. This is not just another movie packed with fight scenes. Although movies like Blood Sport have their place and are also kick-ass. My point is that Warrior would rate well against any other top rated movie of any genre.

Sep 13 - 08:28 PM

Cody MacLeod

After taking a quick look through your reviews I'm left with the question: How did you attain a career as a critic for Time magazine? Sometimes your dead on I will admit, but you don't seem to have any sense of impartiality in your reviews. For instance, I did not like "The Help" simply because it's not my style/genre of movie. This, however, would not prevent me from giving it a great review because it was indeed a very well made movie.

Sep 13 - 10:32 PM

Taylor Brooks

Simple answer: she writes for Time Magazine

Dec 24 - 09:32 PM

Bob O'Reilly

I'm a broad. I hate fights. I hate fight movies and I loved this one. Thought it was terrific. The acting was great. The ending was as it should be. Should be an (Oscar) contender.

Sep 16 - 07:11 PM

Zach Naes

Quit taking your job so seriously lady!

Sep 17 - 09:00 AM

T R Black

Ms. Pols,

You are way too kind to this dreadful dreck.

Sep 20 - 09:02 PM

J B

I think your positive Mr. Popper's Penguins review destroys any and all credibility when it comes to film critiques.

Nov 27 - 04:00 PM

Haelie Shaffer

your like the girl reviewer - feminine guys should not review action movies.

Jan 13 - 02:04 PM

Jim McDonald

It's principal not principle. It's wrong on the original review as well. What is the English language coming to when people who write for Time Magazine can't keep their homophones straight?

Sep 23 - 08:54 PM

Niall Dargan

My god this woman is awful. How the hell does she get to be a top critic?
