We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

There's damn near universal consensus that it was a trash movie. When you look at a wider swath of reviews, you see that it's still trash, with the outlets most likely to give it a favorable review are things like "Epoch Times", and "Gospel Coalition".
It's nakedly hagiographic, so of course a random conservative lemmy mod is going to defend it. De gustibus some disputandum, eh?
I'm refusing to watch it because it sounds like it was somewhat biased, which not only makes for a deceptive film, but a one-dimensional one. It's the same reason I'm not watching The Apprentice (2024), everyone involved in that film seems to think that Trump is at best a bad person. (Although TBF Karsten Runquist claimed in his review that it humanizes both Roy Kohn and Trump, FWIW)
The problem with using Jeremy Strong to pitch this movie as one to watch is IDK why I'd watch him in this role instead of just rewatching Succession.
Hold on a sec, let me see if I'm translating this correctly.
Liberals hate this movie. Critics hate this movie. Therefore, critics are all liberals.
Do I have that thought process about right? Do you think that there might be any other reason that a movie critic--people who have a professional obligation to watch and critique films--might not like this film? Or is the only possible reason that they didn't like it--despite whatever they wrote--is because they're politically liberal?
What you're saying is on par with claiming that the only people that didn't like Battlefield Earth are people that hate Scientology.
Why would you care if liberals hate it? Are you someone who needs to be told what to like?
...Because it's expensive to go see a movie in the theaters, and going to see something that's probably going to suck is a waste of time too?
I pirated 'Borderlands', and I still got ripped off. Knowing that 'Borderlands' was only a slightly bigger pile of shit than 'Reagan', why would I want to waste the time and kill the braincells to figure out that the critics were right about Reagan, too?
