Well, I enjoyed the movie. I don't feel the need to write four hundred pages about why it was good (nor could I), because it's just possible that I have no taste whatsoever and the fact that I enjoyed this movie makes me a plebeian and a moron.

In no such degree do I think them lesser for what they tell me nor do I feel any lesser or wrong from gaining any point of perception from their views, but I still and will enjoy this movie for a very long time and was kind of engrossed trying to talk with gwahir and syme no matter how much of a plebeian moronic snooty bastards they are.

You know, I can't speak for gwahir, but I myself have said twice now that I enjoyed the movie too. What mental defect makes people think that you can either notice a movie's flaws or enjoy it but not both? And that anyone who enjoyed the movie is duty-bound to pretend those flaws didn't exist? We haven't been arguing that the movie wasn't enjoyable or that you were wrong to enjoy it, and if you think that's what this discussion has been about, you have not read the thread very carefully.

Also I think you are misusing the word "plebeian", unless for some reason you think that noticing bad plot/dialog is a defining trait of the common people, while over overlooking them is a trait of the refined elite class.
