But by giving it a 6 you're saying it's no better than Marvel Apes or Gorilla Man based on your previous reviews. If that's what you really think of it that's fine, it's your opinion, but if not you're being disingenuous by grading it based on preconceived notions rather than actual content. (Not that most everyone here isn't guilty of that from time to time.) |

They are both poorly acted, contrivances abound in both movies, they lack the focus of the other entries in the series that are not directed by Lucas, etc. The biggest difference in opinions on the two films come from old school Star Wars fans. We see the first movie with rose colored glasses, it brings a certain amount of child hood fun nostalgia with it. Many Children who saw both movies around the same time do not see a difference in quality for the movies. They recognize the child like fun in both because they are not fondly remembering the first film and are not looking at the newer film through adult eyes. However, our expectations given to the newer film somehow make it worse in our older eyes. When given a more objective view the films are of the same qualitative character, that is to say that neither is particularly good as a film. (As an aside, one could say that Star Wars (A New Hope) was revolutionary for its time, given its budget and the leaps what would become Lucasfilm made in special effects film making for the movie. However, in that respect Phantom Menace may be more technically good as those same leaps have been added to and refined - one is somewhat "revolutionary" in its effects, while the other is more cohesive and refined in the same field, it is hard to judge which wins in this aspect of quality... one was a landmark, the other is more professional) |

If you're constantly judging things based on expectations you're setting yourself up to fail. |

I actually think that Gorilla Man and it are equal in enjoyment level for me. Marvel Apes far exceeded my expectations, so it garnered a higher score than it might have. Again, the whole work can come out different. I would give the first volume of Incognito a ten, whereas after the events of the second issue of Marvel Apes, I couldn't be bothered to finish the series - effectively giving it a zero. As an issue, I would say Marvel Apes #1 and Incognito: Bad Influences #1 entertained me equally - but again, this is based on my expectations of both. |

So, it wouldn't bother you if all the wildly high scores for Superboy made me pitch my score lower to counteract you bunch of goose-stepping Pollyannas.

It would definitely have made me want to read the first mini. |

It probably would, because positivity for ulterior motives is still positivity, whilst being negative to piss off others is just dickish. That may sound hypocritical, but the end result of being positive is always positive. |

Well as long as it would bother you, then I did. |

Mission Accomplished. I guess we'll see if my 9 was justified by Thanksgiving Sunday. Don't worry I'm not changing my score, It felt like a 9 to me, and I'm sticking to it. |

It must be no fun being you. |

Trust me, joking aside other people's scores don't give me a moment of bother. In your case it's much more interesting to read your impression of the book up for review.  One notable exception was when Jude and Fourthy punked me and I thought Jude banned him for an X-Men Forever score. |

It's a beautiful day, I have the afternoon open to spend as I please, sales are good, the biggest book sale of the year is tomorrow, and I am as happy as can be.

Then your experience may be quite different. You may well enjoy the intrusive recap stuff and will not be as likely to notice the correlations in the relationship of main character guy and the whores he sleeps with.
