Re: Star Trek Into Darkness
I pretty much agree with karsten.
The fact is that there are legitimate criticisms to be made regarding both the plot of the film and the deliberately duplicitous statements of the filmmakers leading up to its release and people should be free to make those criticisms, just as you should be free to ignore, unfollow or argue with those opinions.
Who cares what the mindset or mood of the critic is going into the theater? What matters is whether their criticisms are a legitimate gripe or a nitpicking irrelevancy. If it's the latter feel free to dismiss it and move on with your life.
I'm certain many people went to Star Wars: Episode II with incredibly low expectations, indeed many probably went knowing they would hate it, but that doesn't mean their post-screening criticisms of the film are immediately illegitimate.
Edit: pre-release spoilers are another issue and the height of assholishness
