Title: Movie reviews
Post by: Sandwich on August 25, 2002, 06:56:56 pm
I've got an idea I'm toying with (for RLâ„¢, not HLP), and I want to find out how useful it might be. But I don't want to show my hand - not quite yet. :)

So vote away, please, and don't mind being guinea pigs in my little maze... :D :p

So long as i get the cheese, I don't mind being part of your experiment...

Hey, wait a minute! Mice eat cheese, not guinea pigs! I want out of this experiment! Noooooooooooooooooooo...:eek: ;) :D

As for the vote, I take what movie reviewers say with a grain of salt. Their opinions matter to me, but not that much. There were quite a few movies I liked that they didn't, go figure.:rolleyes:

I don't read movie reviews much, but I would otherwise go for the first option, of course. All these things are completely subjective to likes and dislikes. :p

I don't usually read movie reviews (unless I've already seen the movie :p), but I would say it's fairly important...otherwise, why read the review? :confused:

I read the stupid things for the movies I don't want to see, and laugh at the stupid things people pay $6 to see. Now, if you'll excuse me, back to LotR....

As long as the reviewer says why he/she doesn't like it - other than "I don't like war movies, etc" - I don't really mind.

i'll watch any movie as long as it's not too much of something, like for example if the entire movie is about shooting people, or if the entire movie is about having sex...

there's exceptions though :D

I dont pay any attention, even when they say about the quality of acting, its mere opinion. Everythings opinion!

I've recently rented a number of videos that got bad press and found them to be absolutely stunning 4/5 star movies in my book. Reviewers tend to screw up more than get it right...at least for my tastes.

Exactly my point - how important is it to you, or perhaps I should say, how helpful would it be, to finally discover a movie reviewer whose biased opinions and bizzare tastes match yours?
