Professional film critics give approval to B-movies all the time. Calling a film a B-movie doesn't mean it's bad, or of lesser quality than an A-list movie. It just means its being made by, and stars, relatively unknown or unproven talent.Think of it in baseball terms, where you have the major leagues, then the AAA farm clubs, AA farm clubs, A farm clubs, Rookie Leagues, etc. Some of the guys playing in the minor leagues will one day be in the major leagues. Some of them already have been, and are in the decline of their career. Some will never make it. Same thing with motion pictures -- some of the people making B-movies will go on to be big stars or directors or screenwriters; some won't.Professional film critics regularly are impressed by, and give good reviews to, B-movies. They often put B-movies on their lists of the year's best movies. Part of their job is -- or should be -- to steer audiences toward good B-movies, to help audiences discover the stars of tomorrow, the talented people the masses haven't heard of yet. The first Star Wars movie was a B-movie. So was the first Terminator movie.</blockquote>
