Tempted to write a review praising the movie for those two aspects, since its gonna be a sewer anyway. I'm otherwise considering internet movie discourse to be a dead thing, until we man up and start treating reactionary trash with the severity they deserve.

Professional critics don't typically review bomb stuff.

They really don't need to review bomb it. The movie is divisive as is. It's apparently the movie Andy saw that made him want a Buzz Lightyear toy. But it kind of retcons what we already knew about Buzz. So longtime fans that care about the story, will be annoyed. And younger fans may not like it as much because it's very different in tone from the Toy Story movies. So it makes me ask "Who is this movie for?"

So why is it 60/100 on metacritic. Does that mean the movie is just shit overall?

If anything, I expect critics give Disney movies at least 70-80 because their livelihood depends on sucking up to these companies so they get early and exclusive access.

Movies don't follow the same "10 point scale where only 6-10 are used" as games

A 60 is pretty average for movies

This tbh. I was actually really interested in the concept of the movie until I saw the "Lel hee-hee it's a cute kitty cat but it talks like le srs computer man" jokes, and it was kind of a turn off for me personally.

It seems like a bad idea for a movie.

The voice just doesn't fit the character. It should be Tim Allen. If he did something to deserve cancellation, the best option would be to not bring back the Buzz Lightyear character.

Seriously, who the fuck asked for this movie?

Who wanted a depressing, super-serious film adaptation of the "real" astronaut behind the astronaut who didn't realize he was a toy? I applaud Disney finally stepping up and having lesbian characters. But why this movie? That'd be like if Sony put its first transgender character in Morbius.

They genuinely would have been better off to have just made it an original story with the Black lesbian character as the lead. They could call it Tomorrow Land. Buzz Lightyear's name isn't going to help sell this movie because he's no good without the rest of the Toy Story crew.

Though I am looking forward to Disney's Woody in 2026 for all of the dick jokes.

The cowd that would review bomb it run on rage and spite. They see Tom Allen as someone who was canceled by the left and will defend him regardless of whether there is logic to having someone else in the role for this movie. Hence attack mode.

Why Disney passed on Tim Allen

Lightyear producers are speaking out about why they passed on hiring Tim Allen for the new blockbuster Disney flick amid whispers he was snubbed because of his conservative political beliefs.

Actress Patricia Heaton, whos also an outspoken conservative working in liberal Hollywood, took a swipe at Disney on Tuesday for failing to include Allen in the new project, writing on Twitter: Saw the trailer for Buzz Lightyear and all I can say is Disney/Pixar made a HUGE mistake in not casting my pal Tim Allen in the role that he originated, the role that he owns. Tim IS Buzz! Why would they completely castrate this iconic, beloved character?

The real Tim wasn't in it? MONEY. Same as always. Chris Evans is a big box office draw. Nobody is lining up for a Tim Allen film. Plain and Simple.

Chris Evans has the MCU, Snowpiercer, Knives Out etc.

Tim Allen has what, The Santa Clause?
Galaxy Quest was his last good film and that was like 20 years ago...

What are you even talking about? Most MCU movies average at around the 60's range on Metacritic.

Having the original actor return is worth more than casting whoever is hot right now.

Jared Leto is going to draw more than Ralph Macchio -- unless you're talking Karate Kid. Aaron-Taylor Johnson is a bigger star than Sam Winter -- but Winter is who you want if you're doing another Bill & Ted movie. They could have cast Chris Evans as the voice of the robot cat and he could have been an additional draw that way.

When you're talking about updating an animated movie from people's childhoods, they care more about that character than whoever or whatever is popular at the moment. If Chris Evans is working with Disney again, I want more Captain America. They can do a Cold War era movie about Cap battling Soviet enemies in the 1950s. Who wouldn't watch that?
