Do you listen to movie critics?

I usually look at the overall percentage from Rotten Tomatoes since I tend to agree with those critics. I just watch movies if they have 60% rating or better.

No I dont listen to film critics just because a film critic may not like a movie dosent mean I wont like it ether in fact its quite the opposite for me, because I have a tendency to like films that critics hate for example I loved the film version of frank Herbart's dune, and of course the critics hated that, and I liked howard the duck, and the critics hated that too, oh and I love the classic original version of the TV mini series V, and I dont think the critics liked that ether, but I dont care because everyone's taste is different, and yea those films may be a little cheesy but I still find them very entertaining and nostalgic they bring back a lot of good child hood memory's and I just love the over all films themselves movies today dont have the same feel that some of the movies and television shows had back then.

No I don't pay much attention.I always manage to guess a good one by the actors and director.Most of the time I have guessed right.

I think everything will have both positive and negative side. For example, there are negative critics for Hancock but I still watched it. After I watched it, it's just a so so movie in my opinion. But at least I can make my judgment if I watched it. As to Severn Pounds, I am interested in it because it was starring by Will Smith. I think it will be a good movie. I love china

I don't watch or read movie critics ever since two movies The Crying Game and The Sixth Sense were ruined by them spoiling the ending! Besides I like to go to a movie knowing as little about it as possible so I will always be surprised and can make by own decision. There have been movies I really liked such as M. Night Shyamalan's "The Happening", "The Village" and "Lady in the Water", to name a few that critics hated. "The Happening' was voted the worst movie of 2008 on America Online and I loved it. On the other hand there have been movies I absolutely hated, like "Lost in Translation," that the critics loved. My point is that no one can tell you what you're gonna like you just have to take the chance and see the movie. I find movie critics completely useless unless you know them and they have a similar taste in movies. Merry Christmas!

yes, i agree with what your say...... I decide to watching a movie because I really want to see it, I don't care what people saying about, just like Narnia, I heard some people say it was boring, but I love it very very much, it even became my most favourites movie! Eragon movie too, i know it got very low rating from other people, but i found i'm quite enjoy this movie!

There are some I listen to, because their tastes are similar to mine and they give good information on what the movies are about, their strong and weak points, etc. Sometimes if I hear a movie is bad from a lot of critics, I will definitely avoid it, unless I want to see it anyway because I like a particular actor in it or I like the story it's based on.

Only movie critics I ever listned to were ebert and roper. Who I agreed with most of there movies they viewd. But one movie which I dont agree with most of the critics is mamma mia most of them hated that movie and I thought they were wrong and thoght that was a great musical that was a lot of fun and one of my favorite musicals of all time.

Tastes differ and what's good for one person might outrage another. However,I do care what Roger Ebert says,his opinion is reasonable and non-judgemental most times. As to movie critics from newspapers and glossy magazines,I believe they get paid for their reviews so their opinion doesn't really matter to me. How many times have you seen a totally bland and unoriginal movie that was marked as "Hilarious!" or "One of the year's best!.." by newspapers? Rottentomatoes.com and IMDB are pretty helpful,too,they consider opinions of simple folks like us. If I like a movie and it has bad reviews-oh well,that's my life and my opinion,right? :)

Most of the time, 'yes'. I do like to read or listen critics for a movie. If I am going to invest monety to watch that movie then it is worth that what experts are to say about it. These days movie tickets are very high Although, critics aren't true always and I might take that movie different. I mean I have heard one movie in my country that it was a good one but luckily I did'nt go theatre to watch it but watched at home by downloading it. I found that "YUK" type movie!

sometimes, i read from the opinions of movie critics, especially if the movie is not familiar with me. in order to have an idea of it, i read their opinions and so that, i would not waste my money watching that movie, if it not interesting or entertaining after all...=) but if i like a particular movie, and the movie critics are not good, i just don't mind it. the important is, i enjoyed it and it made me entertained. hehe!

yep, i usually visit rotten tomatoes and if the music gets high critics approval of good reviews then i go and see it if not i wait for the rental or something.
