The wild, devoted praise afforded his solid yet tepid films puzzles me. It&#8217;s as though society is playing a joke that everyone but me and a few others are in on.

That brings the fresh rating to 96%, but I expect if there are no more bad reviews,  and only good ones the rating will go up to 97% to match that of <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Incredibles<\/span> and <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Iron Giant<\/span>. You might like to note that he also didn&#8217;t particularly like <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Iron Giant<\/span> or <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Incredibles<\/span> so I think it&#8217;s safe to disregard this not-so-glowing review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"tmnf_excerpt\"><p>Well the first bad Ratatouille review has come in and it&#8217;s from Phil Villarreal at AZNightBuzz.com.
