I like it even though I hated some aspects of Kirk's death, because it was a decent ST film to me, it is part of the overall ST story, and I love ST in general so I am a lot more forgiving. I wouldn't call people who say Generations sucked "toxic", just different opinion, and wrong in my opinion, but they are entitled to it. I don't see as much respect or credence given to others opinions these days especially on the internet. Everything must be a fight to the death where if they disagree with someone, they must be "toxic", bad, evil, unredeemable. It didn't used to be that way.
It's more the fact if it's a film I like and is generally a good film I don't want to go to IMDB to talk about it if every single post on screen has titles like "Boy this film sucks", "Oh look I found a plothole, aren't I clever", "I want to be cool so this film sucks" and "This film has such a lame ending", then I remember the Borg Queen being gassed in
First Contact and everyone is okay with what's actually a more underwhelming ending to a crappier movie. Then of course I go to the
Willy Wonka the Chocolate Factory board after re-watching the movie in years and people are coming up with over analyzed conspiracy theories as to why the film is actually a horror movie akin to the seven deadly sins instead of y'know A FUN FAMILY MOVIE!!!
I have learned to stay away from IMDB boards for films that get ganged up on.
