Zerojay, you ignorant slut.

First, the movie he DOWNLOADED ILLEGALLY OFF THE INTERNET to review was 'Wolverine'.

Secondly, he got canned for publishing a SELF-INCRIMINATING ARTICLE where he admitted to ILLEGALLY DOWNLOADING A COPY OF THE MOVIE OFF THE INTERNET. Not, as you attempted to allude, for pointing out that the effects were missing.

yawn... I'm sure you could google up more sites that clarify the point.

There were plenty of opportunities for you to site as examples of poor reviews getting people canned--but that wasn't one of them.
