I don't look @ those stats. IMDb has a much better rating sytem if you wanna know if its a good movie or not, or just check the trailer ;)
Yeah, i definetely go with imdb when thinking of seeing a movie. But aprt from that Roger Ebert's critique is the best out of the other major critics.
i prefer www.rottentomatoes.com 'cause it uses a larger sample to figure its average, and includes blurbs from most of 'um. includes not only a larger number of mainstream reviews, but also some critics from indie & genre websites so there's a bit more variety to the opinions.

key: red tomato = positive, green splat = negative. :P
is sin city that thing on bravo or men and mottors. or summit. where that guy walks around the city walking into strip clubs and fetish houses. and talks about it?
looks awesome actually Quentin Tarininto apparently directed a scene which we will all argue about what scene he directed for years!
I go by previews only.
Fuck critics. :dry:

ok fair enough
Just that sometimes some previews can be miss leading look at Alexander the trailer they showed looked kick ass in the trailer they only showed bits of the 2 battle scenes/
the movie was just Alexander the shit 3 hrs and about 20 mins of it was battle scenes
dude, trailers? you ever go see a comedy 'cause the trailer was so great, and then realize that the movie only has 3 good jokes and they were all in the trailer?Quote:

I gotcha but what you may get from a trailer and what I get from one is probably different.Quote:

For me to go see a movie at a regular theater it usually has to seem REEEALLY good by the preview or is something I already wanted to see.
Example: Star Wars Episode III, Sin City, Batman,..etc
EVERYONE knows trailers can fool you...
....but so can stuffy bitch ass critics. Most of them suck. :dry:
yeah point taken. some people just don't like reading reviews, or think analyzing entertainment takes all the joy out of it. personally i think most reviewers aren't too good, but i do enjoy it when a reviewer knows how to write well and actually has good insightful comments to make.
i guess my problem with trailers (and why i don't find them very reliable) is not only that they can make bad movies look good or good movies look bad, but oftentimes they misrepresent what the movie is about. a trailer can make a movie look as if it's about one thing, when it's really about something completely different.
edit: having said that... of course professional reviewers aren't the be-all & end-all. i'm sure everyone has at least one favorite movie that's been widely trashed by both reviewers and fans.
One thing I hate about some trailers is that they give away too much of the movie.Quote:

"Sin City" has been made with such scrupulous care and obvious love for its genre influences that it's a shame the movie is kind of a bore.
