No one is denying that this movie has a ton of positive buzz and the early reviews have been damn good - the Cinemablend article I posted a link to has plenty of quotes/tweets indicating that. I quoted a few bits that seems to express some of my pre-release apprehension about this film... you can call it cherry picking all you'd like. I'm not out there looking for negative bits about this movie at all.
I'm merely trying to keep my expectations in check.... I've said more than once how I'm looking forward to this and how I expect to enjoy. You can continue to cherry pick my comments... as you graze in your field with the rest of the sheep. I'm in a different part of the field, still buying what they're selling me - but, with at least some rational thought rather than just the mindless "baa, baa" we get from some. ...and trust me, there certainly is a person (or two) here that fits the definition of sheeple.
I am not a hater, I don't read forums or hang out with people 'hating' on it - maybe there are groups like this - but, there is no big herd mentality to try and call me a sheep and the whole "I know you are, but what am I?" argument is weak. I'm an RPFer that has a predisposition to love this movie. I liked the prequels. I'm going to like this - it's just a matter to the extent... I am more part of the same herd as the folks here than anything else.
Compare tomatoes to tomatoes - show me the Rotten Tomatoes reviews of TPM the day prior to its release - not 16 years after it happened.

Agreed... although, the early reviews definitely have me less cautious and more giddy with excitement.
