Of course I can.

I accept that I have a negative preconceived opinion about it.

The same can be said of several movies. Not all of them draw my attention.

If somebody wants to see it, I have nothing against. I have posted enought
off-topic now. In the CTF there are very often discussions over movies, we can
continue there if you want. I will be also happy to answer anytime you mention a
movie I have seen, that I plan to see or one over which I already have a
preconceived opinion.
