CoryHolmes Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 This really should be a lesson to all not to jump the gun and bash something you haven't seen or already form negative opinions right from the start. I don't understand why people still do that when you can simply stay neutral and wait to form an opinion after seeing it. This is MacrossWorld, that's why It just wouldn't be the same place if everyone were nice, polite, courtious, and didn't judge books (or movies) by first impressions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 hmmm... true... in defense, I would just like to say that the movie trailers and promos never attempted to portray the movie as being more than a terminator clone while the book was a series of short stories that looked at various ways people related to evolving individual sentient androids... it's not difficult to understand why fans of the book would be put off by the movie...

This is MacrossWorld, that's why As opposed to, say, the bastion of open mindedness that is RT.com?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
