Of course the original posting of the "review" was a put on, but I think
that the MASSIVE flame-back is due to the fact that it was not very far
from the reviews the movie got from some of the Professional reviewers.

For example, the reviewers on the PBS show "At the movies" have always
had to put down action/adventure/entertainment movies to keep their 
phony baloney jobs. They had a simple rule to follow Artsy-fartsy = good
and Escapist = bad.

There is a good jab at this philosophy in the movie "Neverending story",
to summarize - People who fantasize have imagination and are hard to 
control, stamp out imagination and you can get power over them.
