Does this affect whether or not you watch the movie? I just read a review for "Fool's Gold" and it really bashes the movie as worthless. Take a look...

No I never pay any attention to reviews. I form my own opinion on almost everything in life. Actually the movies that get bad reviews I usually enjoy and cannot understand why they got a bad rap.

I think a movie that is bashed makes people want to go see it even more. Especially, if they think there are things that they shouldn't see.

I get a movie review newsletter every Friday from the Toronto Star Newspaper. They rate and review the movies that are coming out that weekend. When Wild Hogs was coming out they gave it a one star. We went to see the movie that very same night. I couldn't believe with a cast like that and as funny as all the clips I had seen were that the movie was that bad. And it wasn't! It's the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. In fact, I really think there should be a category in the Oscars for funniest comedy because comedies never win Oscars. Only movies with substance. Come on! We all need a good laugh once in awhile.

I rarely read the movie reviews of movies I plan to see. If I'm going to see them, I'm going to see them. Period.

I like reading movie reviews. Sometimes it's nice to be informed what movies are about and what might be really great of really bad about them. However, movie reviews usually don't directly affect whether or not I am going to see a movie, simply because they are highly subjective. Just because the person who wrote the review thought it sucked, doesn't mean I cannot enjoy it.

I mostly make my own judgments. Usually if the critics hate something, then I like it and vice versa. I do not get to see many movies anyway.

Yes if i feel as though i would like to see a movie i will watch the reviews to see how i feel about it..But i sometimes feel as though i would enjoy the movie anyway sometimes...So i do not completely rely on the reviews...I have not seen the reviews on Fools Gold....If i was not sure about the movie i would ask people who has seen it and get their opinion as well.........

I only let movie reviews affect me sometimes. The onyl critics i really listen to are my friends. Those are the people who know what i like and if its a good movie for them 9 times out of 10 its a good movie for me.

I don't pay attention to reviews. I form my own opinion on whether I like a movie or not. If you think about it the person who is just giving his opinion on the movie and is his/her point of view. I don't even know the person writing the review so I don't let him/her ruin the movie for me. In most cases I have enjoyed a movie that a review said that it was a bad movie.

No, I don't pay attention to the reviews. It all started when my mom and I went to see a particular movie some years ago. She had dropped my sister off at the theater to see a Sixteen Candles with her friends. My mom asked me if I would like to see a different movie since we were already there. I was hesitant, but went anyway because my mom really wanted to see this movie due to it having won several awards and had a bunch of reviews so she thought it had to be good! LOL Well, to both of us we found it rather boring and we were sorry we stayed to see it. Since then I don't bother seeing if a movie has reviews, because there is always the chance that it won't do any good anyway!:P
