Talk:Justin Bieber: Never Say Never

Other page deletion

Somebody has recently created a duplicate page of this article titled, Never Say Never (3-D film). Please help discuss the deletion of that article on its discussion page. Jedi94 talk 23:00, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Bias Control

I removed the word "exciting" from "exciting never before seen footage" because it shows bias. Never before seen footage is a neutral statement that sells the product for what it is, "exciting" is biased. It still sounds just like it should without it. I'm so good, I should be as famous as Justin Bieber for my editing skills. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.104.214.103 (talk) 01:41, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from Usher2005ca, 30 January 2011

{{edit semi-protected}} Starring: Chad Kroeger Selena Gomez Shawn Stockman

Please change Shawn Stockman to Boyz II Men because he is in the group that is in a screen with Bieber.

Please remove from Starring Chad Kroeger & Selena Gomez because they are not in the FILM.

Please add to the Cast & Starring Scooter Braun & Pattie Lynn Malette because they are both in the film as seen in clips and trailers.

Plot

The film follows Justin Bieber with footage of performances from his 2010 My World Tour. It also includes scenes of Bieber as a young child, taken from home videos

Please change "Plot The film follows Justin Bieber with footage of performances from his 2010 My World Tour. It also includes scenes of Bieber as a young child, taken from home videos" to "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never is the inspiring true story and rare inside look at the rise of Justin from street performer in the small town of Stratford, Ontario to internet phenomenon to global super star culminating with a dream sold out show at the famed Madison Square Garden in 3-D." because that is the real Plot.

I think most of these requests are out of date at this point. The changes you want to the Plot section are mostly point-of-view adjectives and the exact same text already appears elsewhere on the Internet (at cinemablend), to then post that exact same plot summary here would be considered plagiarism. Not sure what to do about the soundtrack listing as IMDb is not usually considered a reliable source but I do see that the justinbieber.shop lnk is from Mr. Bieber's official website and maybe it might be permissible to use that as a source in this case? Shearonink (talk) 04:51, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Kroeger and Gomez were removed days ago. More cast will be added with official confirmation soon. The plot summary you suggested is already present somewhere else. Music from the film is already present at Never Say Never – The Remixes. Candyo32 - Happy New Year :) 05:14, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (film)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (film)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Vena":

• From My World (EP): Vena, Jocleyn (2009-09-13). "Justin Bieber's Debut Album Isn't Just About Teen Love". MTV. Retrieved 2009-09-13.
• From Justin Bieber: Vena, Jocleyn; Kos, Saimon (September 12, 2009). "Usher And Justin Timberlake Battled It Out For Justin Bieber". MTV. MTV Networks. Retrieved January 11, 2011.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 22:23, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Public reaction

It's probably worth mentioning that like most Justin Bieber related things this has been targeted by haters. It currently has a 1.1 on IMDB which I doubt is only due to people who've seen it, to put that in perspective Super Babies: Baby Geniuses 2 holds the number 1 spot on their bottom 100 and only has a 1.4 (this is exempt as it is classed as a documentary). The FAQ on the same site was also vandalised when I checked--78.109.186.10 (talk) 20:50, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

That's why Wikipedia does not use IMDb or any other user submitted scores. —Mike Allen 00:23, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

We can reference CinemaScore, though! Los Angeles Times reported here, "'Never Say Never' could fade fast at the box office because many fans went to see the movie on opening weekend. Word-of-mouth should be very good, though, as the largely female audience, 60% of whom were under 18, gave it an average grade of A, according to market-research firm CinemaScore." Sounds like most of everyone who went to see it liked it! :) Erik (talk | contribs) 01:20, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Yeah Imbd shouldn't be used when talking about film ratings/rankings. Candyo32 01:30, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Public reaction my ass. It's trolls on IMDb (see thread titled "Vote 1 Star Upon Release") that vote without seeing it because apparently they are intimidated by Bieber's success--who is someone those kids will never be. That is all. Yes, @Erik. —Mike Allen 01:50, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

I definitely echo your statement MikeAllen. Candyo32 01:54, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

They never said they were intimidated by his success. They simply don't like his "music". 68.204.47.18 (talk) 22:34, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

So let's rate a film one star that we haven't seen. No one takes IMDb users seriously to begin with. Lol. —Mike Allen 23:51, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Whether or not you think criticism of Bieber is justified isn't the purpose of this discussion. The massive amount of negative reactions to the film is significant. It's just as integral to the Bieber phenomenon as his success. It obviously shouldn't be included in the Critical Reception section, because audiences are not critics, but the fact that it was voted by 20,000 people on IMDB as by far the worst film in history is significant. - Anonymous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.1.64.206 (talk) 19:04, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

No it is not. That's why the section is entitled "critical reception", we go by what critics say, not what users who hate Bieber on imdb. Candyo32 19:15, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not quite sure how to use wikipedia. But yea, I don't like IMDB cause most of those "critics" are people who waste their time on the computer, building accounts on various websites to make sure that EVERYONE knows their opinion. The only reason Justin's movie got so many bad reviews is cause the haters had nothing better to do than go and post their opinions on a movie they've probably not even seen... cause if they hate Justin Bieber, why are they going to pay $9 a ticket to go see his movie? Ijujo7 (talk) 06:37, 25 February 2011 (UTC) Anonymous

Because some of them are not haters (and just actually disliked the movie) or were forced to go see it with family? Also, FYI I am not "intimidated" by Bieber. I believe he is merely a product with some of the worst fans in history. I am offended by that statements he made about abortion and rape, and will never like him. Dislike does not equal intimidation/jealousy. As well, I am wondering if (on Bieber's personal page) there could be a section on the "Beliebers" and some of the stunts they have pulled (Esperanza Spalding, the attacks on Selena Gomez and Kim Kardashian)? (Probably not, but it's worth a shot - apologies for the long post.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.222.102.128 (talk) 20:34, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Precedent holds that if "user scores" show a significant disconnect from critical reception, they're generally OK to include, however in this circumstance, I think we're allowed to use common sense that these scores may amount to nothing more than pile on negative voting just because it's Justin Bieber. However, the hostile response of some of the users in this thread was completely uncalled for. Swarm ^X 22:59, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

small edit

In the Development section the word "apart" should be two words: "a part". To be "apart" relative to a film is to be away from it. To be "a part" of a film is to have something to do with it.

Edit request from Ijujo7, 25 February 2011

{{edit semi-protected}} The plot of the movie is incorrect. Yes, the movie features behind the scene footage of Justin Bieber and also has home videos, but it tells the story of how Justin was discovered. When Justin becomes the youngest singer in history to sell out Madison Square Garden (in 22 minutes), he suddenly gets laryngitis, and the doctors tell him to cancel the show. But he somehow conquers the laryngitis, and is able to perform for the thousands of screaming fans.

Ijujo7 (talk) 06:33, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Not done: Seems a bit detailed compared to the rest of the plot summary. -Atmoz (talk) 14:33, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Worst movie ever?

34,336 IMDb users have given a weighted average vote of 1.2 / 10. 87.2% voted 1. This must be the lowest (or one of the lowest) points for any movie on iMDB. Why not write something about that? 83.251.70.81 (talk) 15:20, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

IMDb user polls are not reliable. For one thing, their weighting methodology is undisclosed. More to the point, it's a self-selecting opinion poll (called a "SLOP" by academics). The problem with a SLOP is that it represents the opinions of an unknown population. In this case, we have a mysteriously weighted result from a survey of people who A) use the web, B) visit IMDb, C) looked up this particular film D) decided to vote in the poll. Perhaps the results are skewed by any number of factors that have nothing to do with the film. Maybe those taking the poll are disproportionately wealthy, urban, black men over the age of 30 who hate anything to do with the likes of Bieber. Alternately, maybe the film is even worse than the ratings suggest because IMDb attracts more 8-16 year old, white, suburban, middle class girls. Likely, it's somewhere in between. - SummerPhD (talk) 16:02, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

This is why this belongs in Films Considered The Worst Ever User:MonkeeJuice 4:18, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

If you would like to add the film there, you will need a reliable source calling it the "worst ever". At present, the critics seem to be saying, collectively, "Meh." The "worst ever" gets reviews more like this, which is included. - SummerPhD (talk) 21:42, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Collectively, critics have given the film mixed to positive reviews, not even a group of critics have given negative. This is no way inclusion for the list of worst films. Candyo32 22:25, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Grossing

" 'Justin Bieber: Never Say Never' is the highest grossing music concert movie since 1984 and the third-highest grossing documentary since 1982. " That can be read in the article, but I think the figures from the website which is used are just concerning the USA. Michael Jackson's This Is It was more succesfull around the world. MrPalpatine (talk) 12:41, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Justin Bieber's Never Say Never IS NOT the highest grossing concert movie of all time Michael Jackson's This is It: Budget $60 million Gross revenue $261,183,588 Justin Bieber's Never Say Never: Budget $13 million[1] Gross revenue $98,111,669 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iheartmjforever (talk • contribs) 06:12, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Biebers talk page

I had some questions about justin that I wanted to ask on his talk page, but it's been locked for so long, how can anyone ask for additions? Could we get that page un-protected, and check if anything goes wrong for a few days? Usually talk pages of famous people don't get targeted, as the actual info page is locked, but the lock said it would be free to test as of June, can someone please help me?184.98.114.65 (talk) 01:28, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
