I wait until a movie has finished before I make any criticisms! Even when I do make criticisms I make sure that they are my own secret thoughts! This is just the way I am I guess. There are some movies that are so appalling that you cannot stomach sitting down for fifteen minutes to see if anything exciting takes place. I make sure that I'm very careful now on what movies I watch and I also carry out research as regards good reviews that a movie has received from others that have seen the film.
This is probably the best way to go and this ensures that you have a good movie experience. I think that movie criticism is very important as it allows the film director to reflect on the outcome of his movie towards the fans. Andrew

Well, I always criticize a movie when I talk with my firend after watching it. Critics can be postive or negative, which solely depends on myself. Sometimes I have different view from the critics. They say it's a good movie, I say it's boring like Michael Clayton. They say it bad, but I found it hugely entertaining like Transformers.

Yes, I always criticize movies because of the fact that many of them lately haven't been very good. There is always something to criticize when you are watching a movie, and there are plenty of ways in which to criticize the film.

I try to keep an open mind and enjoy the movie for what it is. If I hate it, I'll just move on and watch something else. I don't see the need to complain about something if I don't like it, I'd rather spend my time looking for something better.
I think people are generally too negative, and always have to bad mouth things that they don't like. Most of the time it's just a matter of taste or opinion. Like for example, I don't like chick flicks, but I don't really have anything bad to say about them, because they aren't for me. I don't get them. There are people out there who do, and to them the chick flicks are great, so how can I say it's a bad movie.
Also, to put it in perspective, I usually like the stupidest, silly comedies. The ones that are usually considered the worst movies. I like those, ha!

I always criticize the movie if my reaction is worth it or not, if it is boring or challenging and interesting. Even though how the story goes and what it looks like.

No, I do not always criticize a movie. But movie critics do. They can always find some negatives, and of course that is there job. If I like the movie, then I am more inclined to just enjoy what I liked about it.

I love watching movies. Sometimes I have a high expectation from the movie right from the start - Maybe the director's previous work or the star cast whatever. If such a movie fails to live up to my expectations, I do criticize the movie.
Again, if the story is not handled properly - poor direction or the actors fail to deliver or whatever, I criticize the movie.

Sometimes, especially film adaptations of books because most of the time it doesn't meet my expectations. But most of the time I just enjoy the movie and then later on read about other people's views on what I've just watched.
