Never said that either. Just that I enjoyed it and didn't understand the hate wave following it around. I follow plenty of people who rate films, games, etc.

I can really sit down and dissect my entertainment and I do for some things, but I've spent too much time looking at the negatives in what I find entertaining. I don't have that kind of time anymore. If I enjoyed it, great. Spread the joy. If it has issues I might say I was meh on those bits or highlight what I thought worked even if I didn't overall enjoy something but I refuse to sit there and be like 'I hate this and you should too'.

That's the part of this internet hate machine for media I just don't understand.

That is exactly how I feel
 
Not having seen the movie, I can still say this. Bloody Pixar does that absolute hell out of space stuff. They've been blowing me away with space scenes since Wall-E. So I have no doubt they went all out with that even more so.

Would it be fair to say Wall-E was their best space movie?

I really don't get the hate for the film. It was fun. Felt like a Pixar flick, although longer than they usually do, and it looked great.

I agree. I just watched "Lightyear" on DisneyPlus. And . . . I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.
 
I liked the movie but I have a hard time imagining it being little Andy's favorite movie and in the same way it might be why it didn't do better in our own world. This seemed to be a movie for people that grew up with Toy Story and are now older themselves but I'm not sure it has the same appeal to those who are children today. Granted I don't have any rugrats but that's my gut feeling. Having to spell out the movie's conceit in title cards was a little hamfisted.

All that said, the movie is gorgeous and I enjoyed it a lot speaking for myself.

As far as haters go I think those that write the movie off sight unseen for the same-sex stuff would qualify. I know some also didn't like Tim Allen being recast.

Generally, I am of this opinion but analysis of film and fiction has been ongoing for a long time. The fact that it gets called "hate" to sit down and analyze a film for why it doesn't work for a person is par for the course. I've listened to podcasts for nigh 15 years about film analysis and commentary. Some of it is definitely hateful, and some is equally praising and celebrating the accomplishment.

And some individuals, myself included, cannot just sit down and enjoy films any more. Analysis and dissections' are 100% a part of my daily life and have been for decades now. That's my personality. That's why I'm less likely to keep on with something if I don't like it; I don't need to ruminate on it because I don't like it.

tl: dr-expect analysis.

I don't mind analysis. In fact I enjoy it. It's the wave of 'this is terrible and everyone should hate it because I do' that I find generally irritating. And this film was getting it's share of that.

I'm not good at deep analysis of entertainment. I tend to just go more by my gut and just whether I liked it or not. There obviously are things I tend to like or dislike, which I talk about on here, but that's as far as I tend to go.

Sometimes you just have to let go.
I went to my local movie theater Friday to see “Prey” which was no longer playing.

I did something I never thought I’d do and saw the newest Dragon Ball movie…and the enthusiasm of the young crowd was the best part of it.

LIGHTYEAR was far more subdued but I liked it just in a different way.
 
Sorry to post again found another neat video relating to this movie.
