Would you ever let a film critic dictate to you what movie you should see? What movie should you not see?

I've found that the majority of films that the critics bombed were actually pretty good movies. I don't listen to them at all anymore. If the subject matter looks interesting, I'll watch the movie and decide for myself ! Only one I've agreed with them on lately is Sharknado ! Lousy reviews and lousy movies. No, I don't care what some stuff shirt critic says about a movie but will listen to other people that have seen a movie as to whether it's good or not. Everyone has different tastes.

I remember a story about a rather renowned (nationwide) teacher at my university who had seen a popular movie and had come out crying as a result of being so moved emotionally. 

Through her tears she commented that it was a "terrible" movie.

She said that her response was genuine but it had been educed from her through illegitimate (film standards wise) manipulation by the director of the movie.

So I look at film critics the same way I look at nutritionists---good people with good credentials---but I'm still going to occassionally eat something that really tastes good even if it does not have any redeeming nutritional value.

Absolutely not. I've noticed nearly all critics are wrong. I've seen so many movies that were torn apart by critics that I really enjoyed.

No.

I rarely go to the theatres for a movie the last movie i seen skyfall the james bond was a dud before that it was schindlers list so i bought the dvd probably one of the greatest movies ever made
