Captain Marvel: I am woman
dwbat: I am not saying that the First Amendment can or should force rotten tomatoes or any site to post a review. However, if a review does not violate the site's standards, and the site claims that they are open to all reviews being posted, and that an average grade is given to a movie based on the reviews posted, then they go ahead and delete reviews just because they disagree with their own opinion, and misrepresent the collective audience grade, then this action violates the spirit of the First Amendment, namely freedom of expression, not to mention being disingenuous and manipulative. I mean, what is the purpose of the warring factions here? To force someone to like a movie or at least to silence them if they don't like it by calling them names and trying to intimidate them? Does that promote freedom? A person should be free to find a movie boring without being exposed to ridicule and verbal violence for expressing his/her opinion.— March 16, 2019 4:02 p.m.
Captain Marvel: I am woman
I wholeheartedly agree with this review. I think the director instructed Brie Larson -who seems like a warm and likable person in real life- not to show emotion, so that the "patriarchy/Jude Law character" accusations of women being "too emotional" wouldn't stick. The result was disastrous. Her character came across as detached, aloof, uninteresting and the whole movie was bland. I specifically like the reviewer's point regarding the daughter. It is not natural for a child with one parent to encourage said parent to unnecessarily risk her life and abandon the child. I am puzzled at the harshness of the comments of those who oppose the author's review. Most humans go to movies to be entertained, not to participate in a social engineering campaign. How does "if you didn't like this movie then you are a horrible person" help the feminist cause, or any cause for that matter? Why does Rotten Tomatoes keep deleting my review? Does the first amendment still apply in the US?— March 16, 2019 12:01 p.m.
