It's not even the movie fans at the theater that bother me. Once I get to the movie theater I'm locked into fun mode. No matter how many cell phones are on or how many babies are crying I can completely tune them out, eat my popcorn and watch the movie.
The movie fans that bug me also aren't the movie fans that come home after the movie and over analyze the movie. Like take 300 for example. Some critics were bashing it for its political stance. What? It's not a movie with some kind of political analogies, it is just a movie based on a graphic novel and nothing else but some people think that everything in every movie has to mean something. My opinion of those people is usually just "whatever".
No, the fans that get on my nerves are the fans that have not even seen the movie yet. A lot of fans out there praise or insult a movie before they've even seen it. How does that make any sense?
At this point last year some fans, comic book fans in particular, were going on and on about how much X-Men: The Last Stand stinks and Superman Returns rocks. The only problem is that neither movie had even been released at the movie theater yet. They were just assuming Superman Returns was good because the director who did the first two X-Men movies left to do Superman and the new guy directing the new X-Men movie was supposedly a hack. If the Superman Returns supporters would've actually waited to see the movie before praising it then they wouldn't have looked as dumb when Superman Returns turned out to be the most disappointing movie of the year.
The latest complaint that is getting on my nerves is all the Transformers fanboys. It especially annoys me because I am a Transformers fanboy myself and I'm embarrassed to be in the same group as them. Get this, Transformers fans have deemed that Transformers will not be a good movie. Why? Because Optimus Prime has lips. That's it! Because Optimus Prime has lips Transformers is going to be an awful movie? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
