Recent Movie Reviews

How many think "Professional" Movie Critics haven't got a clue ???

I went to see PS. I Love You today despite the horrible reviews. Every critic imaginable slammed this sweet movie. Check it out on rottentomatoes.com Well I saw it and thought it was really good not even half good but really well acted etc. I go to movies a lot and there was a time when you could count on th critics for advice as to what was a dog and what was brilliant. At least they could correctly pick extremes but lately forget it! After many times over recent years taking a consensus of their advice, seeing the movie, and getting so disappointed I realized they don't know what the heck they're doing. And Im not talking about those fake internet or magazine reviewers or when a janitor who works for a major network reviews a movie and puts their logo on it. Honestly, I go to yahoo movies now and read the user reviews and what "real people" say. Its not 100% foolproof but its a much better read on what is worth my time and money and what I should skip.

1. I totally agree with you!
2. Some don't have a clue....you right on that one. But find that the New Yorker movie reviews usually get it right.
3. If i listened to them airheads, i would never see a movie so i judge them myself.
4. I totally agree. They should understand that people have different taste and have different expectation to what THEY are looking for in a movie. Even a movie that is not so good - they should rate them for what it the movie was trying to achieve. Sure, some movies are really really bad - but usually - most movie are just for entertainment so they should expect too much. NOT every movie is out to be the most awesome movie ever made and they should judge that accordingly. That's my opinion.
