[QUOTE="horacethegrey, post: 6855046, member: 40123"] Now you're putting words in my mouth. When did I ever say I was letting critics opinion of a film override my own? Are you implying that I'm some kind of slave to what movie critics post in their reviews? If I did that, I probably wouldn't have bothered watching any of Marvel Cinematic Universe films because some critics I followed intensely disliked them. Roger Ebert is one of them, and I think he was pretty good. But he absolutely hated [I]Thor[/I], which I consider one of my favorite MCU movies. AO Scott of the New York Times is another one. I like his reviews, but I intensely disliked his campaign to s**t on every MCU movie just because he didn't like the idea of a Cinematic Universe. Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly is my favorite movie critic of all time, and he absolutely hated [I]O Brother, Where Art Thou?[/I], my favorite movie by the Coen Brothers. So yeah, those are three occasions where critics I followed absoluytely disagreed with my taste. Still think I'm some mindless drone that blindingly follows them? And yeah, I do think they're good at their jobs, but there are occasions where they massively drop the ball. As is the case with the examples I posted above. I rely on movie reviews to see whether a movie is worth my time. For the record though, I plan to watch BvS: Dawn of Justice in the theater, but out of curiosity rather than any genuine excitement.
