5 Brutal Reviews That Will Actually Make You Want To Watch The Film

2. Armond White Calls Toy Story 3 "A Sap's Story"

"The Toy Story franchise isn't for children and adults, it's for non-thinking children and adults. When a movie is this formulaic, it's no longer a toy because it does all the work for you. It's a sap's story."

Aggressively contrarian critic, Armond White, had that to say about Pixar's Toy Story 3, in a famous review noted for being the one to break the film's 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, causing a fair bit of ultimately quite sad 'outrage' in the process. White, a superb actual writer blighted by his need to go against the grain, is film's key dissenting voice, regularly upsetting the masses with his annual 'Better Than' list (which suggests alternatives to the perceived best films of the year) and with antics like booing and heckling director Steve McQueen at an awards dinner. White, a man who counts Norbit and Jonah Hex as some of the decades finest films, plays on the persona he has created with an aesthete's intelligence, ensuring no matter how absurd his latest review or remark is, he'll stand by it. Best Quote: "We're meant to enjoy our susceptibility, not question it...have shrill-critics forgotten that? Do they mistake Toy Story 3's opening day for 4th of July patriotism? " Why It Makes You Want To Watch It: Either to see where in the hell White gets off, or to check if, for once, he got it completely, utterly, astoundingly right.
