It has given everyone a platform to state their opinion. Unfortunately, not everyone is smart enough or informed enough to have one (myself included on certain topics), but the most egregious tragedy is the full on hyperbole that seems to plague most peoples' opinions these days.
This movie was FAR from a 1. Those who are giving it a 1 or 2 have CLEARLY never seen another movie in their life, which is doubtful given people's proclivity to rate almost EVERY movie with a 1.
This was a very well made movie and it was very well acted. Was it a super scary movie? No. But if I'm being honest, none of the Insidious movies are, barring a few jump scares.
And that's another issue I have. Why to people take exception to jump scares and call them "cheap" and "lazy". I can't think of one movie that actually scared me that wasn't a jump scare. A well placed jump scare can be amazing and super effective.
And I hope Ty Simpkins gets a lot more roles now that he is grown up. He is a damn good actor. First thing I saw him in was Iron Man 3 and I thought "Damn, this kid's going toe-to-toe with RDJ". I hope great things for him.
My only real complaint with this movie, as it is in a lot of movies, is that it didn't seem to know how to end on the right note and it felt rushed. I wish they trimmed some of the fat, ie, Nick the Dick and the ghost at the first house, and concentrated more on the main story. Other than that, I thought it was very solid.
And I know it's a horror movie, but I actually laughed out loud at the lines "On Sundays I like to wear a monocle and order take out with a British accent" and "Think those sheets are cripsy?... They'd probably snap like a taco shell".
