Oh, and early reviews are quite big in the film industry as well. Perhaps you should go to the right sites. Check out aintitcool.com. They are already having some early impressions/reviews of Star Trek. They usually get reviews long before the critics get them out the door. Perhaps it is because you are not as in tune with the movie industry as you are with the gaming industry.

 

Also, for anyone interested, the overall impressions of Star Trek have been very, very positive.

No, it's not. I know who Harry Knowles is.

This is like comparing People and Us Weekly to Pauline Kael or David Denby. Do you see those people in Metacritic? No. Aintitcoolnews, UsWeekly and People are considered fluff.

Here's the problem: the fluff peddlers and the respected critics are the same people in the gaming industry. It's seriously as if E! News was considered a legitimate voice of criticism in the movie industry. I do not consider that an exaggeration.

There are no early reviews of films, unless you mean "a few days before it comes out because of the Film Critic's screening." There is no race to get your review up weeks ahead of time: there are no "exclusive" reviews.

Not sure what your point in this whole thread is.  You say that people do not praise early reviews of movies and I clearly showed you a place where people go to in droves to get the latest info and impressions of the upcoming movies.  There are tons of early reviews on that site.

Your problem, is that you think some people have more important opinions than others.  I find several of the reviewers on AintItCool to be fantastic and most "serious" movie critics to be absolute poshes.

 

You're welcome to enjoy whatever you want. If you like aintitcoolnews, no problem. That doesn't mean that their opinion needs to be respected.

How could you possibly argue that everyone's opinion is equal? Obviously an expert's opinion is worth more than the opinion of a layman. Similarly, you can love Us Weekly or whatever you enjoy, but it is generally agreed by reasonable people that "People" and other fluff magazines are not legitimate sources of news and are their opinions are not respected as such.

How do you prove this? You can't obviously. How do you prove that Shakespeare is more sophisticated than Guns N Roses or Motley Crue? Again, you can't. There is no official or absolute metric to measure this by, but reasonable people reasonably agree that this is true.

If you enjoyed a movie like "300" that's absolutely fine, but the majority of respected of film criticism does not agree with you, and the same is true of aintitcoolnews.
