I think it's a special skill one must acquire through intense training. Might sometimes require additional training in self control and tongue biting.

Screw that. Too much work.

My point is if you're absolutely sick of hearing about something before you step into the theater/open the book/turn on a game, you're already going into it with a negative emotion because even if it's amazing and right up your alley, you're already annoyed with it.

So sometimes I find it best to let that fervor calm down around me so I can go into it with a clear head, so to speak.

thats cool.

my point is that it might be better ignore all the "negativitiy" or "hype" in the first place.

i guess i'm just the type of person that doesn't let stuff like that bug me in the first place, so i don't have to go through the first world problem of being that stressed out about a piece of fiction. i absolutely hate the way my few brony friends act about mlp. they can be pretty annoying about it. doesn't change the show at all. the content and substance is still exactly the same. i watched it and liked it despite those friends.

i guess i was just suggesting a less intense approach to the situation. i find it odd to be exclusive solely because of pre-fab notions, especially if it might be something you'd otherwise enjoy.

I don't really see a problem with Chris Pratt. At least he got in shape for the role.

Thank you! This is how I really feel. Other characters and everything in this movie feels very uninspired and bland. My bar expectation for it is so low, it almost touches the ground; that's how boring it feels.

So yeah I'm only in it for the Raccoon. Let's see how it goes. I'm split whether to watch a midnight release or just tomorrow noon.

Never heard of anyone going to a midnight release of a movie that they thought looked "uninspired" "bland" and "boring"

double quoted for truth...if you have such low expectations why are you supporting it its opening night?

A gun-toting, mean-talking raccoon flying a space ship. And his best friend, a sentient tree alien who communicates solely by introducing himself.

BLAND.

I mean, hey, to each their own. I don't expect this movie to appeal to everyone. But "bland" is an... interesting critique for this one.

Yeah, seriously, I don't get that. It's one thing to say it doesn't look appealing or funny. Those are subjective things that vary from viewer to viewer. But a gun-toting talking cybernetic talking raccoon and his best friend the tree man, in a live action movie no less... Traveling to an interstellar highway located inside the gigantic decapitated head of a godlike alien being... This is about as far from bland as you can get. That's like saying Sin City looks like every other action movie. It's one thing to say it doesn't appeal to you, it's another to say something completely off the wall like that.

Yyyyyyyyyyep. I do that all the time. I routinely don't see a lot of popular movies, TV shows, and video games until way after the fact. Sometimes years. I'm kind of an "anti-hype" person, whereas, the more I hear about something, the less I give a sh*t, and even if it's good, I'm so sick of it before I ever see it that I usually wait until I'm pretty much the last person who hasn't experienced it yet before I go into it. At the very least, I'm always certain my opinions are my own and they're real, not just coasting on the Hype Wave.

I also don't care if I encounter spoilers or reviews along the way, as sometimes it only builds intrigue and makes me want to experience things even more. Example: I only saw the film "Seven" about a year ago, because by and large, I don't much care about Brad Pitt. I happened to read about it, was intrigued, skimmed Wikipedia about it, and decided to get the DVD. I watched it knowing full well everything that was going to happen, but just couldn't believe how good it was. Then there's "Avatar", on the flip side of things. It's decent, but man, did I expect to like it more than I eventually did. It's so predictable, leaning so heavily on the visuals to draw you in that you're supposed to not care that you've seen this exact "primitive savages vs. modern industry/militarization" a thousand times before, and that other than the CGI, there's nothing fresh about it at all. It's fine, but... it's not as amazing as people used to swear it was. That movie was only made to sell blu-ray players.

So, good stuff is still good when you first see it later on. Other times, without all the noise and hype, you can make an actual, unbiased opinion. I never let a release date pressure me; I see stuff when I get to it, and it's usually better off that way.

[The Boston Ninja Turtle]

I am the same way..Hype has killed alot of Movies,TV Shows and Games for me...right now its killing the PS4, a system i actually wanted....but i was going to wait untill Kingdom Hears 3..

but thanks to an annoying friend half of me doesnt even want it

There's always a first time for you then. My preference of when to watch it has nothing to do with my expectation.

...I do this all the time.

[Slade]

If it's uninspired, bland and boring, then it sounds like you don't like the damn thing, so why the hell would you go watch it?

[Xiewin]

...sign...

Who said I was supporting the midnight showing? I have the opinion of seeing this for free at the theaters. I am not paying.

I guess i'm not allowed to dislike something like this.
