If one didn't like "After Earth" you're a racist!

Sounds familiar, go to the IMDb "After Earth" message board. It is like a war room. It is hilarious! Even Obama is brought into the fray comparing the same situation that if you don't like Obama or his policies you're a racist.

Be prepared some comments are not pretty!

This makes no sense, Smith’s movies are usually very successful....maybe this one just sucks.

Discussion boards there are better than they used to be. In the early 2000s, every movie and show was somehow connected to politics, even ones that and no political message whatsoever. Well thought out Conservative opinions weren't welcome and often deleted but leftist spew was able to run freely. Laid off of them for a few years. The boards are somewhat reasonable now. Some still get buttsore if you hurt their opinion.

Just until homos are front and center on the screen more prominently and frequently. They’ll think we’re a nation of f****ts!

“Many people ( Bloggers as opposed to ACTUAL trained critics and the sheeple that suck the teat of places like rotten tomatoes) want to quickly point blame at M. Night but many of “us” know the real reason this movie is getting down rated so fast... the majority of Audiences are NOT comfortable with the image of a STRONG caring Black father and a son who loves and respects him...

IIRC one of the most popular television shows a number of years ago was the Cosby show. Not only a strong caring father but a strong caring mother as well, and wait for it they were both employed and successful. If we want to take it a step further both sets of grandparents were in the exact same mold. As if I recall, All six of these adults expected that the children would be successful in school as well.

Fact. Will Smith is the greatest actor. Ever.
Fact. His son is the greatest living actor. Ever.
Fact. Barack Obama is the greatest President. Ever
Fact. Michelle Obama is the most beautiful, graceful, classiest woman in the world. Ever.
Fact. “After Earth” is the greatest movie ever made.

Fact. Anyone that disagrees with the above facts is a racist.

I thought the same thing. I also didnt care for the obvious nepotism in working with his kid. Perhaps Mr Smith should take more care to select good movies instead of just a paycheck or his son’s career.

The Pursuit of Happyness was an excellent movie with Will and his kid, and one where the protagonist achieved his goals on merit alone.

The fact the movie got thoroughly panned by the critics is why nobody wants to see the movie—too bad!

Frankly Will Smith has been overexposed. He’s not the great actor that Hollywood likes to pretend that he is.

And now we’re supposed to believe his son is some great actor because of a Karate Kid remake? Please.

Reminds me a while ago I was channel surfing and I saw some comedian ranting "Will Smith, quit buying your son movies!"

I understand they tried a similar stunt yrs. earlier during the Depression. They smuggled in a copy of The Grapes of Wrath, made copies and added Russian subtitles, to show to the masses with the idea of pointing out the evils of capitalism and why they should be unquestioningly loyal to Uncle Joe Stalin. Well, they aborted this stunt before long because the masses were becoming jealous at us when they realized even the poorest Americans were still able to own cars, even a dilapidated Model T was a luxury item to the common folk in the USSR.

I think people just can’t handle his British accent in the movie. It kind of threw me for a loop during the trailers.

Hey I watch the Daytona 500, sometimes I watch Pinks on the Speed channel. I might go to the next car show at Don Garlits’ Drag Race museum in Ocala. Does that make ME a, ahem RACE-ist? (ta da DUM!)

The comment you quoted from the IMDB is retarded. Most people fervently desire to see any men acting like responsible men, especially black men. Why do you think the Cosby show was so popular during the 80s/90s? One of the reasons that Obama was elected was precisely because many people, especially liberals, wanted this affirmation/image of a responsible family man who happens to be black, that they voted in somebody with no qualifications and a questionable background to achieve it.
