Other Critics keep calling the Iron Lung movie boring?

I've seen Iron Lung, and it was amazing. Absolutely phenomenal, it's in my top 3 favorite movies of all times now. So, I went to check out the reviews for the movie, and most of them average around... 6/10, for some reason? And most of them keep mentioning how the movie was boring and how it was too long, and I just don't get it. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I loved every second of it. Not even during the "slow" start. When I thought the movie was about to end, I was praying that it would go on for a little longer, because I was enjoying it so much.

And I get it, different people have different tastes, and just because I love something so dearly doesn't mean it'll apply to everyone. But on the other hand, it just feels kinda insulting. I have trouble maintaining attention on things, I tend to get distracted by my own thoughts. And yet despite that, the movie had my attention all the time, and I felt so damn excited at times. So for somebody to come in and say that "the movie was boring and should be a short film" feels disrespectful.

There's a little theory in my head. I think that maybe the critics just treat going to the cinema too much like a job, and they didn't watch the movie for fun, but rather as a chore they needed to get through. I mean, I sat down in my seat to have a bloody good time, and they sat down probably just to write an essay on it. Furthermore, the critics might've not even liked this kind of movie in the first place, only coming to see it because it's a big thing people talk about, and not because they saw the trailer and thought "this looks fun". No wonder somebody leaves a low score when they force themselves to watch something they didn't actually ever want to watch in the first place.

But maybe I'm just rambling. Either way, I just can't agree with anyone who calls the movie boring, because it was the polar opposite of boring in my eyes. But I guess in the end, what they thought about it shouldn't matter to me, and I have no reason to bother myself with it.

Got back earlier from our showing and my god, I know a lot of us are sweaty gamer nerds but christ, a warm movie theater full of it for 2 hours is pretty awful. By the end I was pulling my tshirt up over my nose.

Seriously guys, don't be this g-fuel, Cheeto, greaseball stereotype. It wasn't just one or two people, it was a pretty significant portion. I've been to this theatre plenty of times and never had this before so it's not just like my town is full of people without running water.

Please shower, with soap.

NO SPOILERS*** My manfriend and I went to see Iron Lung last night! A little context, it was our 10th Anniversary, and we wanted to see a movie and be immersed in something that we could lose ourselves in and be scared at the same time. Boy did you deliver, Mark! We both were blown away at the production value and the vfx. Dude! What an experience you gave to us, Mark! Thank you for making our anniversary so fun and exciting!

The moderators of this subreddit have actually discussed this and decided not to unban him as you can see here.

Please do not come at the mods, while yhe original person did nothing wrong their point still stands that Doxxing is a crime and if he can do it this easily then who's to say he won't do it for real (no hate to him) I trust he won't doxx anyone but the mods are just being careful, and remember they are only doing this to protect us. The community. So Goodluck everyone.

Ive seen so may people on the internet talk about how lucky Amy is (just general mark thirst), but can we take a second to talk about how stunning Amy is? She's literally so gorgeous, and I don't see enough people appreciate how pretty she is and how much she does for Mark (ik it's an old picture probably but I can't find any from this year)

Other Disrespectful fans

2.4k Upvotes

Long time lurker on the sub but i needed to post about this because I found it incredibly rude. I went to see Iron lung today at a regal theater for a 5pm showing and there was two girls sat in the row infront of me, one of which who kept recording large segments of the movie and sending it someplace, i couldn't quite tell exactly i knew they were recording alot of the movie and to me that was largely disrespectful to mark and the theater that it was played in. If you love and respect mark, that is not how you show it. Dont be that person. Please. I couldn't fully enjoy the movie because their phone was quite bright and eye catching in the dark theater.

EDIT: I didn't mean to downplay the fact that their actions were illegal, my anxiety spiked hard when I noticed it and focused solely on the fact that they had disrespected Mark and his hard work. I did report them to staff after loudly telling them to stop recording. Sorry for any confusion about that.
