I think with all due respect to you too Lee; Grant can say what he wants - just as much as you can and have Lee!
The difference here Lee is that he's referring to us as "trolls", where _Lee_ and myself have not referred to you guys as "sheep" or any other derogatory term.
I can't reply much yet without spoilers, but I have read several of the reviews, and the points that are being praised right now are going to turn around and be the source of contempt once the hype and excitement goes down. I'm referring to plot, not effects, acting, etc. And of course, not everyone will see it that way. Some will love it regardless.
I also agree, it has a shot at breaking the opening weekend record. The presale thing matters not one bit, since half of that $100 million is for opening weekend. It only means $50 or so has been sold for this weekend. Still needs $150 million or more for the record from people who didn't bother to buy tickets in advance. It just means one statistic that it now holds a record for, and I'll give credit where it's due for that.
