It hits every button from laughter to tears and lifts you up on waves of visual dazzlement. And you don't need to take a kid along to appreciate it... Tag it as one of the year's best.
The sad thing is that he may actually enjoy the film but still give it a negative review simply because it's made by Pixar. The kind of bias that he possesses doesn't make for a quality critic.
The thing about Armond White, in this situation. Is that IF he gives this movie a rotten review, he is not only tainting the perfection of Toy Story 3, but tainting the perfection of the entire trilogy. Yes I do believe Armond White is waiting for the opportune time to ruin a rarest of rare three 100%'s (a hat trick if you will).
Haha, no, I'd say what's more sad is that you all just cannot stop talking about Armond White for one second, in any review thread. He's obviously made an impression on all of you.
Thank you Peter. You, along with folks like Ebert (yes, I know he's also polarizing sometimes), Richard Corliss and those good folks over at the New York Times to name but a few can be counted on for some good honest reviews.
As for the folks looking for AW here, I have to say, do you really wonder why RT keeps him around when you're posting comments about him on someone else's review before he's even posted his own? Think about it...
Thank you. I'm sooo glad that the top critics are a bit smarter than the other 3 critics that are idiots who gave this movie a rotten rating. Top critics are usually more reliable. I mean people like Jeremy Heilman are just bad. I mean Mr.Heilman also gave Schindler's List a rotten rating YET he gave Gigli a positive rating he really pisses me off. He's officially the worst critic ever in my opinion. Oh and the other guy that I looked up Armond White gave Jonah Hex a positive rating instead of this what an idiot.
I don't quite understand all the praise this film is getting. the story was very not unlike the others. Why does every Toy Story have to include the Toys getting lost / abandoned ? Furthermore, it had some very dark and even violent scenes.
