Never listen to the critics. The critics thought
Star Wars sucked. (When it first came out, the average review rating was one star.) They thought Ang Lee's
Hulk (you know, the one with the Hulked-out poodles, and the Hulk becoming a forty-foot-tall giant when he was attacked) was the greatest superhero movie ever. Professional critics know nothing.
If you're not sure from previews whether or not you want to see the movie, give it about a week, and see what the geek press has to say about it (especially the webcomic artists who maintain blogs - I particularly endorse the recommendations of Howard Tayler, creator of
Schlock Mercenary).
All true (with the exception of the Ang Lee Hulk
), but you have to take that rule with a grain of salt. Years ago, a friend decided we should only see movies that the critics hated. We ended up seeing really sh***y movies, and he implored me never to let him pick a movie again.
