Truthfully if I really plan on seeing a movie I don't let the critic reviews sway my seeing it at all. The one thing it may do is change the fact that I would go to the theatre to see it...I may just wait for it to come out on dvd and rent it.


I think a critic review is just the opinion of that person and we all like and dislike different things so their opinion is not that relevant.


I actually haven't had time to see any movies of late but I'm going to be looking through this post for recommendations for future watchings(wink).

No.

50%, 50%? Don’t know since I don’t follow their reviews. Beside, I don’t know majority of them so I don’t know their taste…I doubt the male reviewers would be reviewing movies the way I see it…for that matter I don’t know if the straight female movie critic will see a movie the way I see it. *l*

Good movies?? Depends on what you looking for. If CGI excite you, I’ll say go see Spider-man 3. I don’t know about the rest of you but I do find myself going to the movies only when there’s special effect I know I won’t get at home. I usually wait for the dvd now. How about you? Do you find yourself going to the movie no matter what just to go out?

  • "Do you ever base seeing a movie on the Critic's review?

Hehe me too!


We saw Georgia Rule the other day and it was good but not as good as I hoped it would be.

Hi Eastie,


No we rarely go to the movies just to go out, because of the cost.

Oh heavens, I haven't seen a review in ages. I also don't usually see current movies. I mean, I just saw Night at the Museum.

I will check the show times on Yahoo and it usually has a rating for the movie given by those who have gone to see it. Sometimes that might sway me one way or the other in seeing the movie. It depends on the subject of the movie.

The last movie I saw was The Pursuit of Happyness. I've not been to a movie in quite some time.

Have a great week!
