Have you noticed before you go to the movies the newspaper and online sites rate the movies so they can tell you if it's good or bad? Well...do you believe in what they say? For example, lets say the critics said Harry Potter 7 PT 2 said it was horrible and they gave it a 2 star. Would you listen to them and not go or would see the movie and ignore them? Why should we have critics to tell us not to see it? I saw the movie Thor with my uncle and we thought it was great. The critics said not to see it. I don't understand why people follow what they say. They are just basing there own opinion about the movie. For those who follow what they say, kudos to them, but how do you know if you will not like it? Trailers, please those wont help you enough. They just give you previews of the movie. Maybe certain parts in the movie were bad but you may like whats going on in the other scenes. To me, I hope people ignore the critics they have nothing better to do but tell others whether or not we should see it. If you don't like it, that's understandable, not everyone likes all the movies that comes out. To end the rambling, please think this carefully. Before you decide to listen to a critic think it carefully, is the movie your type? Do you like that type of style? Go with what you like and not what others have to say.
That ends my rambling..... :)
Tags: UntaggedI usually will like the movies the critics don't like better than the ones they do like. I think critics mostly spend their time while they are watching a movie thinking about what to say about it rather than being able to enjoy it. Their critique ends up being a grandiose comment on how the movie comments on current events or political correctness, if it has anything to say and if it is just "fun" they are disappointed into not liking it.
Why listen to critics? There's an old saying. "Opinions are like A**holes, we all have them, and they all stink!" I say follow what you believe, and keep your mind open to new experiences.
Everyone's a critic. Anyone can sit in front of a computer and write "This sucks" and "That is worthless", but when was the last time a movie critic actually made a film?! It's the same with music critics ~ they love to bad mouth and say truly nasty things but I would like to see them try and write a song, perform it and record it. I liked Thor too.
