To be honest, I don't listen to reviews at all. I don't read the paper when a movie comes out. I go by advertising, often... I mean, that's what it's there for right? I'll also go by word of mouth from friends that have similar interests in movie genres. In the end however, I may bypass all this altogether and see a movie just for the hell of seeing it, and then come up with my own opinion. I don't purposely going around looking for movies that I know are going to entertain me... I think the real entertainment, for me anyway, is walking into a movie not expecting anything... Being your own critic is what I guess you could say.
Except Gigli. I heard that sucked like woah.
