==Reception section==
This happens every time a fantasy, superhero or animated movie is released: Fans of the film only want this section to say "positive reviews" no matter what the aggregates and such say. Rotten Tomatoes says, "wonderfully animated and briskly paced, but it's only so-so in the storytelling department." That's not entirely positive. And Metacritic's weighted average was 57. That is decidedly middling. Given these two facts alone, it is inaccurate to say "positive reviews" and accurate to say "mixed to positive."


Most films that fail to gross back more than triple of their budgets if they count domestic and foreign box offices are flops.
We're supposed to discuss these things on Wikipedia and provide rationales for our edits. That last part is a requirement. Reverting to "positive" without discussion and without providing a rationale breaches that guideline and could conceivably be considered vandalism. --[[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 18:21, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

== Pitch Black ==
:Obviously if the aggregators themselves don't agree then describing the reception as "positive" is not neutral. I have to admit I'm not a fan of the "mixed to positive" phrasing, but it's much more representative in this instance.

There's no WP page for Director Peter Ramsey. He's the first African-American director of an animated feature, so perhaps that is worth mentioning, if not giving good grounds for starting his own page?

== Possible ==

I don't think the mods should remove the sequel tab just because it seems unlikely. There's still a small chance as they haven't outright denied it yet.

Plus, removing the sequel tab, when there is no absolute evidence of no seque, where in fact there have been talks, by the mods, kind of just shows that its just plain cynical <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/116.14.149.80|116.14.149.80]] ([[User talk:116.14.149.80|talk]]) 18:17, 17 March 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
