Let me try that.

I think Alpha and Omega is a bad movie even for what it was trying to be.

Did I get it right?

Allow me to take a page out of Aaron Burr's book and offer you some free advice. Everyone knows critics and reviews are subjective. That's how it's meant to be. I'm perfectly happy to say "I don't like this but its done well" when that is the case. In fact, I've advocated that that's the way ratings on furry sites should be done. The simple fact is that Alpha and Omega is not good. Not everything that's made is good.

Here's another surprising thing; movies are made by teams. There are writers, directors, animators, producers, actors and more all of whom have more or less input and you can end up with a movie that no one involved actually likes because the mix of ideas was bad or the studio pushed for something against the director's wishes. I'm not saying that's what happened here but it might remind you that not everything that's produced is good even according to its creators.

Instead of getting upset that other people have different opinions just learn to use reviews better. If someone says a movie sucked they probably also said why (at least in a good review). Then you can judge if that will likely matter to you or not. Do you know why there are so many movie critics employed? Because they have different tastes. Find a critic who shares your views and then you will get reviews which are more relevant to you.

Even if there are no reviewers that agree with you, here's another bit of truth. Entertainment is subjective and quality doesn't always match with entertainment. Look at the last Hobbit movie. We all know the team and cast is amazing but the movie was awful. But you will also find that everyone has a critically hated or just bad movie that they love. There's nothing wrong with that. What's wrong is becoming obsessed with that movie and trying to force everyone to have the same opinion as you while not understanding anything about how reviews actually work.

"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
~John Stuart Mill~
