LeoRavus 02/19/24 10:37:32 AM #2:	I never read/watch movie reviews, but pay attention to how many stars a movie has when streaming. Anything less than 4/5 stars is almost always bad. You can tell it sucks in the first few minutes. --- This is where cool people write stuff. <cite>LeoRavus posted [p:978924513] in Movie crit...

Last new movie I saw that wasn't related to something big was that Lyle Lyle Crocodile movie and prior to that M3gan. --- The name is wackyteen for a reason.

GunmaN1905 02/19/24 10:40:43 AM #4:	Don't really care about movie reviews. It's just a couple of hours, it's not like I'll waste weeks on it. But I'll always check IMDB before watching a TV show. OCD won't let me quit halfway through and I don't want to get into something that's a waste of time. <cite>GunmaN1905 posted [p:978924564] in Movie crit...

Arent pros just bros getting paid Pros are supposed to be vetted by their employer for their (presumed) ability to write (quality) reviews and have a track record that you can reference.

Nemu 02/19/24 10:58:28 AM #11:	Other than taking a look at RT to see the general opinion of a movie, I don't pay too much attention to actual movie reviews. Overall, I don't have a particularly high opinion of professional reviewers of any kind. It feels they have to toe the line way too much. More indie reviewers aren't immune from that either given partnerships and whatnot, but I'd generally trust them to be more honest to say something is dogshit when it's dogshit. <cite>Nemu posted [p:978924846] in Movie crit...
