I think Toy Story is overrated as hell, but i still like them. I dont see what makes them masterpieces, though. I just recently saw 3 as well in 3D, twas sweet, but not earth shakingly so.

I dont get why so many people are into Toy Story.... Maybe when I was 6 it was good but overall animated movies suck.

Toy story 1 & 2 were two of my favorite kid movies. The third was very good, but it didnt make me feel all warm and fuzzy like the other two, idk maybe I went in with too many expectations.
Also onto the Crazies, I was pleasantly surprised with it. Nothing amazing, but a pretty good horror by todays standards.

This statement is wrong (and stupid) on so many levels.

I dont even look at reviews. If I think I am going to like it then I will go see it. Just because some guy that watches movies for a living doesnt like it doesnt mean I will too. Losing $6 if I dont like the movie isnt a big deal.

The reason I like Rotten Tomatoes is just because it gives you a nice general feeling about the movie. If 70% of the reviews are bad then it probably is not very good.

Yeah I get a lot of **** for respecting critics views, but they know what they're talking about for the most part and I generally agree with them.
Yeah, I just implied I know what I'm talking about.

Slightly different scenario, you agree with Einstein because you're not stupid and I agree with critics because I can recognize a good movie when I see it.

2. I agree
3. I know what I'm talking about
doesn't follow.

How is he right? Critics watch a lot of movies, and generally are more likely to have a solid opinion on whether the movie is watchable or not (and using a larger sample size is obviously the way to go). That doesn't mean I agree with critics every time, but more often than not, I do.

Because people have different tastes and the things they're looking for aren't always what the average person is looking for.

Because the average person is stupid, which is why The Last Airbender and Eclipse are raking in the cash.

well come to think of it, Bengals78 is wrong considering the intended meaning. I was thinking of it in terms of agreeing with something means that the person is usually right, not that they are probably right about the thing they agreed with.

My opinion matters more, but I certainly value a lot of critics opinions. And RT tends to be right on.

If I think I will like it then I will go see it regardless. Rotten Tomatoes hates Grown Ups but it was an entertaining movie for me. I dont go into every movie thinking its going to be The Dark Knight quality and I dont expect it to be.

Any of you guys ever play Hollywood Mogul? It is a pretty neat text based game that can literally run on any computer. You basically own a film studio and start out with a certain amount of money. You have to make cast actors/actresses in various roles, hire directors, producers, and put films into production in various different genres. You make money off your films based on the time of year you release the film in the theaters (how many theaters you release it in) plus you make money off DVD rentals, soundtracks etc. There is also an award ceremony each year that does major awards like Best Support, best actress, Best screenplay, etc. etc.
Its a pretty neat game that has taken much of my time in the past.
There is a free trial of it here
http://www.hollywood-mogul.com/
Can't ever remember how long it lasts but it I think its like 3-5 days...just about enough time for the charm of the game to wear off.

John Carpenter-Kurt Russell is the best director-actor combo ever.
TELL ME I'M WRONG!
(though I would accept Carpenter-Keith David as an alternative)

Robert Pattinson being amazingly amazing is why Eclipse is raking in the cash.
