#hey so i'm gonna yell about this film and the general treatment of critics and audiences

Salt Liiiiiick

okay probs said this a million times but i absolutely hate how the lego movie has been pit against the playmobil movie like i REALLY know how cautious we can be when it comes to films based off a toy franchise but ever since the playmobil movie the level of vitriol and sarcasm i hear and see directed towards an animated family film in contrast to stuff i see way more deserving of it is completely uncalled. like fine, CALL IT A RIPOFF EVEN IF IT ACTUALLY ISN’T but all this talk about cringe culture and how we can get rid of it before throwing venom at this film like?? i get it that you DON’T like the film but do i have to hear it CONSTANTLY?? like what kind of life is it to regularly talk shit about the playmobil movie?? i don’t really go into that tag any more and there’s barely enough of a fandom as it is and the little marketing it had?? my cinema had it for TWO WEEKS in august last year and i saw it three times out of spite because of how badly it was doing

like?? it just seems like an unnecessarily petty trend to talk shit about this and i hate how critics are treated like be all and end all of film criticism like,, that doesn’t mean we don’t take them into account - like some of my favourite films weren’t the most well received but i find a lot to love about them. i hate how the average moviegoer feels like they get treated like some unreliable stupid audience member who only wants braindead action fuelled blockbusters. like i find a lot to love about the playmobil movie and i really don’t want to feel bitter about the lego movies but i’m beginning to (frankly i hate the third act of the first one) and at least i don’t have to watch a consistent romance develop between a clearly capable woman and a guy who just tripped up and found the artifact and didn’t really do a lot

like in the playmobil movie rex obvious flirts with marla but that’s literally more of a demonstration of his character and they are in no way compatible. besides,, lino got all of the cast he wanted and it’s like,, really on point?? daniel radcliffe is brilliant as rex, the level adam lambert went to to portray maximus is literally perfectly overdramatic (and gay as hell), jim gaffigan fuckin works as del?? ana taylor joy?? meghan trainor actually wrote the main song for the film?? lino wanted to make this for his young daughter?? daniel radcliffe fuckin loved playmobil as a kid?? the music is just so good?? it’s also funny?? the cast and crew genuinely enjoyed making it?? how can you look at that and not see how much love went into making it?? or do people just look at it and go ‘another toy based franchise it copied the lego movie it’s awful’ and then make it fun to talk about how shit it is?

like honestly i don’t think i’d feel weird about liking it so much if people didn’t act like it committed mass murder or set fire to their houses like i just,, chill guys it’s a family friendly animated film i am NOT forcing you to like it but just, WHY?? meanwhile i see films with abusive fucks in getting lauded and films where so many people are shipping abusive ships or excusing abusers and i’m like,, thanks but i’d like to enjoy something that DOESN’T try and laugh at other people’s expense and punch down like the fuck did the playmobil movie do to you ‘cause honestly if the playmobil movie wasn’t in the lego movie’s shadow it wouldn’t be treated so terribly i swear

(honestly what is it about certain things that are seen as entertainment?? there are so many genuinely good moments in playmobil,, sure it’s not perfect but with the way i see it gets talked about it’s seen as some kind of abomination so frankly i don’t care otherwise)
