| Makaha said: there are huge differences in scores between critics reviews and user reviews for a lot of movies, so that tells me that movie critics don't know what they are talking about when the general public enjoys those same movies much more |
This comes down for me to how much used you are to your hobby. If you know to play music how you evaluate music will be hardly the same as someone who knows nothing about music theory. It doesn't make anyone "more correct", it's just different standards
Cinema in specific is an old art, there are people who study technical aspects when studying cinema as artistic expression. Of course, not every movie critic have such extensive knowledge and vision, indeed most of them just agree with other fellow critics say, but stands the point they are vastly different from general public
General public just wants a good entertainment with some production value, that's why they enjoy movies like lets say Venom, even if this said movie according to critics is pure garbage
I never could find a movie that was PANNED (focus on the word, PANNED) that I found good, at least not yet. I'm not a cinema scholar either in this sense I'm much closer to general public, but I know the basics enough to no overlook some movies where the flaws are so obviously apparent that became a bunch of nonsense. For a movie to get very low scored is because the flaws are nearly impossible to not notice, like Suicide Squad. The question is how much the overly evident problems are enough to bother GP or not
