Yes cause I like spending money on things that aren't a waste of time and money? $14 gets me a large pizza and some really tasty wings where I live so if the movie is likely to be shit, I would rather spend the money on something thats good...

I can still watch it on netflix eventually or yar it when it comes out but a low review score means that I have a higher chance of not liking it so yes, I do still care about reviews. (And people who value money should too)

I feel like people should only care about reviews if they are not very interested in the product in the first place.

For instance I've been looking foward to this movie so I'll ignore reviews, but for movies that I don't care I would pay more attention to some reviews.

ehrm I disagree entirely.

I was pretty excited for Batman v Superman originally but then the reviews (rightfully so) hammered it (I've watched enough clips online to know they were somewhat spot on).

Suicide Squad is probably my most anticipated film for this summer and while I probably WILL still see it, the reviews being this poor certainly are something that makes me second guess doing so. 

I will point out that a lot of people originally excited for this film I think were hoping for a DARK 'superhero' movie with an R rating. The trailers give off that vibe. So I can't help but wonder if things were cut and left on the drawing board to get the PG-13.

maybe the 13 rating was done a long time ago, but I hadn't noticed. 

I would argue though that ratings are possibly MORE important for people excited for a film these days when trailers can be so misleading. I mean you just can't trust a good trailer and your own hype sometimes. the studios are sneaky
