Yeah… I don’t care. I watch a movie and accept it for what it is. If I’m entertained for a few hours, great. If not, meh. I don’t need critical opinion.
I agree. I usually do it out of curiosity though. I tend to find, in general, the reviews are on par though.
The number of times I watch something and afterwards am like “that felt kind of shit”, turns out everyone else agrees and I’m wondering why I didn’t check first to save my time.
‘Most’ People on the internet want to ascribe to a hivemind. Basically what the OP is suggesting with this thought exercise regarding films we have watched. It’s very sad, people need to watch a film, make a decision and stop flip flopping cause their group says something else about film.
