Typically, I don’t rely on reviews to tell me whether to watch, listen, eat, or use things. I strongly believe that reviews are for fools who can’t decide for themselves. Many things for sale these days now require expertise to identify what to have. However, availability of information has been for cheap as well. Regardless, I will stay away from such examples to relay my message.
Movies are forms of art. Art is not mathematically quantified – usually. Art is beautiful relative to the audience. One may find abstract art to be chaotic and tranquil for another. One may think that punk rock is out of control while the other may think it a well written masterpiece. One may think a comedy to be funny and the other will think it a tragedy. The point is that art is our escape to reason.
Since there is no standard measure to the quality of an art, a review has no right to judge an artistic piece trash or not. He may give his opinion, but should not be the basis of an artistic quality. A good example of this would be “The Boondock Saints.” Film critics put this film down and didn’t earn at all until people who saw the film talked about and earned 50 Million in video sales. The film is not bad, but film critics casted the film away.
So next time you plan to see a movie, ask around but don’t take their inputs personally. If your gut tells you a movie is good enough to dig in your pockets, go and see the film.
