But at the end of the day, if you're going to see something based on critics reviews, you're putting faith into what they have to say. What gives them the right to be put on a pedestal?? It's just their opinion. They just get paid to write about it. That doesn't make their opinion any more right than yours or mine.
Sure, I read critic reviews, but never do I base my decision on whether or not to see something THAT I'M INTERESTED IN solely based on that. Like the poster said that if Avatar goes below 90 percent, he won't see it. So if it's 88 percent, meaning 1 or 2 more critics didn't like it, he won't see it?? I personally think that's asanine.
Watch trailers, read story outlines. If you're interested in seeing it, go see it. If it's not up your alley, don't see it. But hey, like I said, to each his own.
