Forum Overview :: Star Trek: A Final Unity :: Filthy Critic was the last (appropriately) acerbic critic

[quote name="fabio"]Can you remember the last review of anything you read that didn't preface every negative point with apologetic tip toeing? Even Red Letter Media is falling prey to this. Way too many nice things said about Crystal Skull (a chase through suburban America seen as a positive in a franchise about exotic escapism?), and half of every Half in the Bag review is taken up by apologetic disclaimers. Has there been any worse development in contemporary criticism than the term "haters"? Whether it's praise for Revenge of the Sith because there was a space battle or defending Battlefield 3's forcing you to work for a complete game, we've become so used to being served shit that it upsets people when someone asks for real food.[/quote]
