I'm officially giving up reading reviews for movies before I see them...
 
It ruins the experience. I've seen movies that had bad reviews that I ended up really liking.

I try not to pay attention to the reviews at all. Likes/dislikes vary so much you just gotta check things out for yourself. What are some recent movies youve like that had bad reviews?

Only reviews I ever pay attention to are occasionally the Siskel and Roper television show, and that is only because they play clips from the film, which I get a better idea from if I am going to like a movie or not. I would say 80% of the time if mainstream critics say it's good I generally end up feeling that the movie wasn't worth my time. I have so many favorite movies that were critical bombs :thumbsup

i think siskel was the one who died
and in regards to their reviews, if its foreign and has men crying they give it a thumbs up. action without a love story gets a thumbs down. the only real review they've done i agreed with was pulp fiction.

I suggest don't read the reviews anymore............It's wasting your time dude!

Especially with the possibility of spoilers ruining it.

Movie reviews are a total waste of time. If everyone thought the same then maybe they would be more accurate. How can a total stranger tell you if you will like a movie or not? If I want a movie review I ask my friends and family, I know them well enough to know if I will like a movie based on their review.

LOL, of course I meant Ebert & Roeper :1orglaugh

But what I was saying, it's the clips that give me a better idea, their chatter is just entertainment (sometime:))
