DISQUS

Geesh. What to do, what to do! I was listening to a "talk radio" show and the host and many callers TRASHED the movie! They were saying, if you must see it wait for the DVD. I hadn't planned on buying a ticket but with such conflicticing opinions I'll wait and BORROW a friends DVD. That's why I seldom read reviews of books, movies etc. I tend to rely on my FEELINGS about such.

You know one person's trash is someone else's treasure.
I don't think the purpose a review is to keep people away from a bad film. I think of them as suggestions (or warnings) about where to spend my $10.
Still, it's just a suggestion.
Some of the worst reviewed movies ever are some of my favorites -- of course, I have a high tolerance for cheesy plots and bad acting.
Our opinions also change over time -- you can love a movie as a kid and hate it as an adult or vice versa.
I think the best thing to do is see it -- and then share your opinion with people. It's the discussion that counts.
