Letters to the Editor

"Mamma Mia!" Pierce Brosnan sings! Meryl Streep dances! Can't you hear ABBA's "SOS"? By Stephanie Zacharek [2008-07-18]

  your review of Batman and all the letters that followed, I know a lot of readers would like you to get out of the movie reviewing business, but I would not like that at all. I just find your reviews amazing. You might be right about this one. I liked the trailer and I like the cast, but I believe I'll have to go elsewhere to find an objective review. Whenever you say the cast or a character in a movie "seems to be" portraying something in a certain way, I can never really believe you. And like a lot of posters on the Batman review, you really do seem to hate movies. I read a review in the New Yorker that didn't like Batman and one in Slate that did, and I think both of them were more enlightening than any of your reviews. To say that C. Nolan effed up because he's not like Hitchcock or hasn't seen a Hitchcock movie and he's made this huge extravaganza--?? The headline on that should have been: Zacharek to Nolan: You're no Hitchcock!

  That would have left us scratching our heads.

  Now your problem is that Meryl Streep seems to be having TOO MUCH FUN just to prove old women can have fun. OUTRAGEOUS. Truly, you amaze me in a car wreck, can't stop reading this stuff kinda way. And you just keepa goin.
