Do you usually check reviews?

Well...sometimes i watch a movie only after the head line, if it's catchy . When i want to buy a movie a always check reviews , not necesarely on Amazon, but other sites as well. I want to see if it's interesting and worth my money as well. I also go by what my friends tell me .

Yeah I usally check reviews on movies. I go to atthemoviestv.com to listen to ebert and ropert reveiws on movies because I think there the best critics around. I usally agree with most of there reviews. I also go to amazon.com to read what regular people have to say about movies or videogames I want to buy and if there more good reviews then bad then I would buy it.

I usually only check reviews if there's a movie I really really want to see. Other wise sometimes I'll browse through the reviews when I read the news paper.

I never read the reviews on a movie as not everyone likes the same thing so how can I base whether I would like a movie on what other say? I rent the movie and decide for myself if the movie is good then I will buy the movie so I can watch it again in the future.

i tend to check reviews first before deciding to watch a movie or not. i don't like watching move without have any references about it.

I do read some of the reviews, however I tend to take them wih a grain of salt. Everyone looks for different things when watching a movie, so its totally up to that person as to whether they liked it our not. I do like Siskal and Ebert's interpretation for the most part however, they give you a general idea of what the movie is about, and tend to be correct with the movies that I have seen. If you can find a reviewer who shares your taste in movies, that is the best way to judge, then you can just follow their opinions.

The only time I would really check a review of any film would be if I came across a film I had not previously heard of. Reviews tend to be a little one sided in trying to highlight the best parts of a film, even when there are few. Movie trailers can usually be a good indication of the potential quality of the film too but most comes down to personal judgement. I have seen many films over the years so feel happy with my own judgement when deciding whether a film is worth watching or not. I have seen some brilliant films that I have thoroughly enjoyed, even after they have been described as average films by so called experts.

of course i did some reviews before i go to watch some movies or buy some dvds. i usually go to imdb.com or some websites to see some reviews. and also i read some movie magazines. i don't want to waste my money and my time just to watch bad movies.
