Nah not special at all. Well yeah I am but not in this case
Lemme explain:
There are let’s say, 100 critics. There’s more than that but let’s go with 100. And each of those 100 will have different opinions. Even on the movies they like they may like different things. A movie that’s awful to one person will be glorious to the next and vice versa. The reviewer on IGN says this flick is great and enjoyed it. I’m sure I can throw a rock and hit another critic who felt like it was trash. That’s people and that’s fine.
But the problem is when we are so swayed or moved by it in this day where there are so many opinions out there and many of them differ. It’s not like 20-30 years ago where you had a handful of critics and an even smaller pool of national critics. So really it’s picking and choosing. If you didn’t want to see a movie and felt like it was going to be wack, then find a critic who reinforces what you believed in the beginning and then it’s easy to come here and say “see I knew this would be trash” but if you wanted to love a thing it’s easy to do the same thing in reverse.
If I want to see a movie I really don’t give a shyt what someone says about it or doesn’t. I made up my mind I was buying a ticket either based on subject matter, director, cast, writer, etc. and no person is going to sway me from that. I’d always rather see for myself rather than have someone who’s not me tell me how something is. And in 2018 when we have social media and critics and opinions are aplenty, I’m always fascinated by someone still being able to be swayed one direction or the other.
Just my two cents breh
