[QUOTE="MechaPilot, post: 6855032, member: 82779"] I'm not relying on any score. No score should sway you: you should watch the film (or read the book, or view the painting, etc as it pertains to any consumption of art), take the time to digest it and form your own opinion, and then take in the opinions of others and evaluate those opinions to see if they reveal anything for you. But you absolutely should never let anyone else's opinion override your own opinion of a film, or any other piece of art. And most of those critics on RT are probably DC haters. See, I could make up motivations for people that I don't know too, if I were motivated to do so; it doesn't make for a valid argument though. Like it or not, we have different places recording opinions on this film, and they came up with different results. Surprise, surprise, there's no objective standard for evaluating art. I have also been watching movies for a long time, and I have found critics to be a waste of time and ink (digital or otherwise): I can tell from a trailer whether or not I want to watch a film in theaters or if I'm going to wait for the TV or DVD release. You probably didn't mean it that way, but that statement has a kind of "people who can evaluate movies really well usually agree with me" vibe to it, as if you were pridefully holding up agreeing with your tastes as a sign that critics are doing their job well. Edit: RT also has Kingdom of the Crystal Skull at 78%. Stuff like that always makes me glad that i put no stock in critics. [/QUOTE]
