Don't know what to tell ya. You put quite a bit of stock in critics and I don't. I don't let myself be swayed by professional critics and allow myself or people I trust dearly help point me in the right direction.

When you look at all the reviews it's a few

Not matter how you spin it, it is a far cry from the reception LOTR got.

You're worried that this film will be knows as a flop, because of a handful of negative reviews

Not a flop in monetary terms.

They are looking forward to it because of the goodwill from LOTR i presume.
