Critics

I have a friend who thinks every movie he's ever seen is awesome. I learned a few years back not to take his advice on movies. I wish I could enjoy everything as much as he does though. I guess it probably helps that he's always drunk and stoned, and I'm neither.

I'm that friend minus the drugs. I would say 9/10 times I like the movie. I just enjoy experiencing other people's creativity. I do try to mention my bias when people ask me if they should watch something.
- I enjoy almost everything I see in the theater. There have been a fair few movies that I enjoyed on the big screen but on rewatching at home was like "Why did I like this shit?"
I'm not like that but I think that movies are made to entertain, if I watch a movie till the end the movie was good enough and it didi entertain me
to be fair, if someone watches the whole movie, then it's probably because it's a good movie. otherwise, that person would've stopped watching once they realised that they didn't like what they were watching.

Oh trust me, that feeling disappears right quick :D

I actually write movie reviews for a weekly publication; I’ve got an unlimited movie pass and work for a local newspaper, so it makes sense as filler content.

I basically see most of the new movies in my local theater in their release week and write a little four sentence review on them. Now, I don’t see ALL movies, since I do need to invest some time to watch them, but I certainly make it a point to see things that I wouldn’t usually buy a ticket for. For example, I’ll throw in a romcom or foreign movie if it’s a light week and the trailer looks OK. Usually I end up seeing three, four movies per week.

This also means that I see movies ranging from awesome to garbage and everything in between. I never really completely burn a movie in a review, since most of it does have some artistic merit or a particular fan base that it appeals to. And even a bad movie adds to your repertoire of things to compare to. So yeah, few movies get truly bad reviews, because very few movies are truly bad.

And in case you’re wondering: no, I do not in fact buy popcorn. But I usually do get a slushy if it’s a longer movie.

I literally plan my meals that day around the movie theater popcorn I intend on having

Yep i have that friend who goes to every movie and is like "that movie movie was great" and i am like bruh every movie is great for you .
