Sure, if you're not interested in movies. But this movie, like it or not, is so
important in the history of film making (as were the first, and as the third
will be) that it is not just a movie. If you are interested in movies in
general, you can't just ignore it. Also, I believe it is impossible to say "I
don't want to see this movie, but I have no preconcieved opinion about it". If
you decide not to see it, I bet it's because you have a negative preconcieved
idea about it. It's much more valid to have a negative opinion aving seen it,
than if you haven't.

My simple argument is: This movie is an achievement in many ways in film making,
most reviewers like it a lot, it gets a very high score on IMDB etc. Why not go
see it and form your own opinion?

Your argument is: Despite all of the above, don't go see it. Why? I don't know,
just don't.
