Mania Reviews and your turn at the plate

Hey Maniacs, the movielord here.  Some of you know and some of you don't know but I am on staff as a columnist for Mania.  I wanted to talk to you guys and gals about the reviews and your comparisons of the summer films (thus far).  I love that you get excited and are passionate about movies (me too).  That is what brought me to this site to begin with.  However, lately your comments on the site about what we rate films is mind blowing to me.  It all started with Iron Man getting a B VS. Indiana Jones getting an A-.  First take a look at the columnists for each review, they are two different people.  Two different opinions.  Maybe Abbie loathed Indiana Jones.  Maybe Scott hated Iron Man.  These reviews are just their opinions.  If you have an opinion, write your own review.  Get your voice heard (read).  That is the best part about belonging to this community.  You can post your own review!  A comment on page 3, four lines down will not be read by as many people as your own review.  You think Iron Man was an A+ let me read about it.  Posting things like "Iron Man gets a B and Indy an A-, boy this site is going down hill" is laughable and silly. 

Plus do you guys think we sit around in a bull pen and say what do you think of Indy?  Was it better than Iron Man?  Scott give it this grade.  No.  Plus do you think we should rate Indy in comparison to all Indy's or just what has come out this summer or just as a movie in general?  Abbie and Scott are great writers.  They gave fair honest reviews and I stand by both of them.   You disagree?  Write a review.  It's your turn at the plate and Mania gives you the chance to take a swing.
