Comments on: These Weird Four Seasons of Halloween http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2009/10/14/trick-r-treat/ Film reviews and commentary tonight, before I forget tomorrow Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:14:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Gary http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2009/10/14/trick-r-treat/comment-page-1/#comment-48312 Gary Fri, 02 Dec 2011 17:38:08 +0000 http://thisdistractedglobe.com/?p=5550#comment-48312 I could not agree with Al and Josh anymore. This movie had so much more then you could analyze by eye. The amount of people who actually read reviews are low. Why? I don't read them because I don't want to be lead away from a great movie because someone doesn't know what a great movie is. Reviewers like you have no business saying a word about such good movies. You just stomped words together and hope people believe you. I could not agree with Al and Josh anymore. This movie had so much more then you could analyze by eye.

I loved the jokes and found the script very amusing. The original review is totally off. I completely agree with Josh this was a very clever and fun movie.

It reads more like some smack from a prejudiced, old fruit running at the mouth more than anything actually intelligent, especially writing that the people who "love" this movie are people who don't read reviews. Seriously, shut up! Maybe they don't pay attention or take seriously failed wannabes trying to make some slam on somebody actually successful. This movie was far better than the original "Creepshow." As far as it introducing characters quickly, "Gee, Gomer . . . Do ya thunk that might be because he had 30 minutes or less to tell 4 stories . . ? Please shut up & quit commenting to your own articles to act like somebody else actually agrees with your stupidity! Lame and completely surface level review by a dumb bitch that understands nothing of this genre! Could not disagree more with your insipid, stupid review .

The problem with <em>Trick 'r Treat</em> isn't a lack of originality, but a lack of execution. The whole movie just feels sketchy to me. It's better than <em>Van Helsing</em> and probably better than <em>Scream</em>, but in the end, that's a faint praise. Thanks for commenting!

Trick ‘r Treat isn’t really for people who read reviews, it’s for the people who love those movies that aren’t screened for critics. " Thank you Joe! I got this from Netflix a couple weeks back, gave up on it pretty early on and returned it. I didn't care for it (and I LOVED the similar CREEPSHOW). I thought maybe I should give it another shot due to all the online raves. But it looks like we felt the same way about it. “Here’s a movie stoked by such an outpouring of love from its target demographic that I’m left to ponder whether I even saw the same film the fanboys did.
