Harsh criticism.
I didn't want to post what I thought because of obvious reasons, so I'm posting here. Someone on another site posted a movie and rated it almost perfectly. I saw the movie and it was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I started to type, and then after a few words, I just deleted the entire message. I know this is the place to praise and criticize, but some take things personally, and I just didn't wanna possibly upset someone, and just ignored it... I don't mind when someone says they hate my favorite movies, but I don't know that person well, and so I just avoided it. Now, if others post, I might express my displeasure, or give it a 1/10, but I hope it dies on its own.

I'm completely okay with someone trashing a film that I personally adore or rank highly as a favorite film. It's not "my" film so outside of just having a love for a film doesn't hurt my feelings. I didn't have anything to do with it creatively. I understand why some people might get offended about their opinions being berated but I guess I'm not one of those people. I personally wouldn't attack someone's love for a film but I don't have a problem trashing bad films in general. I enjoy other people's opinions and thoughts about things, it helps to see the subject in a different light if it's constructive. For example, I know quite a few people don't understand why I think Ishtar or Magus are fun films and interesting as both were critically panned.

They don't have to read your review. I don't tend to read reviews from people who dislike movies I like (or even people who like movies I like for that matter), but for me to be personally offended by someone writing a bad review of a movie I love would make me a gigantic whiney douchebag hypocrite. On top of that it is okay for your feelings to get hurt, it is okay to be offended. Get over it. The rare times I get offended I forget about it/get over it in short period of time.

I'd rather read/listen to criticism of movies I love than watch Silence.

Haters gonna hate. Lovers gonna love. That's just how it always will be. You're never going to please everyone.

When it comes to a choice between critics talking or silence, I will always choose silence.
Actually, I choose silence over a lot of examples of people talking. Silence is just so better.

My knee-jerk reaction would be silence, but I would rather have my favourite movies be known than not talked about at all. So, even if I get upset a little bit, I would say criticism. If the criticizer is civilized and reasonable with his arguments, then I know that all is good.

It depends on the comment. It's about tone, whether it's constructive, whether they try and pass off opinions as facts etc. Some people clearly look to trash movies others express a liking for as it makes them look and feel superior, and I'm not interested in all that. But in general, I have no issue with people criticising anything I like.
