No, I don't trust them to give scores accurate to my expectations but I do trust them to have their own opinion and express it honestly. This way if I look at how they rate movies I like and dislike I can figure out how I should interpret their review. Everyone has different tastes.

So when I see reviews I think stick out (very high or very low score) I check their other reviews.

The job of a critic is to tell you how good or bad something is for an audience, since every audience member can't look up every opinion of every audience member they sometimes rely on a few critics.
If those critics have wildly differing opinions than the general audience, then they are bad critics.

cinemablend does a good job of critiquing 3D movies from a technical standpoint. i use their scores to determine if i should waste my time seeing a movie in 3D (for those very few occasions when i'm dumb enough to consider spending the extra money.)

in general, though, movie reviewers are shit. they're either too cynical too appreciate anything that isn't arthouse hipster shit or they're too open minded and willing to gush over every bullshit movie
>>
>>83134741

That means it isn't real. You can go to the RT page and see the 1/2 star spam, same on the IMDB page, and if you go to the youtube trailer you can actually see fat alt right SJWs spamming /pol/ memes in the comment section.

The show shits on SJWs, so I don't think you know what you're saying there. Ultimately critics are people who actually watched the show before reviewing it, while the audience score is just full of hundreds of butthurt internet warriors spamming downvotes without watching what they're "reviewing." Even in the case of political bias on both sides, critics are vastly more reliable.

Yea because GhostJUSTers totally proved that. Critics haven't been reliable since they've decided to judge movies and TV shows through their own political bias lens. Which wouldn't be bad in and of itself if there was an actual balance to the political bias, but there isn't. The vast majority of professional critics are very left-wing and if movies or TV shows don't line up with their left-wing views then they're most likely going to get a negative score.

But that's exactly the same with a political ruling class, you idiot. Why do you think single-party states employ propaganda? Because they have to remain popular, otherwise they will be overthrown.

But the ruling class have security. A leader exists within a structure that insulates them from harm. Look at Trump, wildly unpopular, but he's the rightly elected US president, his leadership is sanctioned by the courts of the land, it's quite likely that he'll serve out the 4 years of his term and even if he doesn't his departure will be through instruments of the system. A critic, on the other hand, can have their career effectively ended by a Twitter storm.

Which is exactly the same as liberal metropolitan movie critics. They don't exist in the same world as the working class, where they would probably get beaten up (or mercilessly mocked) for having such faggy opinions.
>it's quite likely that he'll serve out the 4 years of his term and even if he doesn't his departure will be through instruments of the system. A critic, on the other hand, can have their career effectively ended by a Twitter storm.

Yes, he can. But it would be a huge endeavour, it would need a concerted effort by multiple powerful arms of government. A film critic who falls from grace needs only the word of his boss to end his career, and the Hollywood set have shown themselves to be more than willing to cut loose anyone who might bring them into conflict with the PC left.

It's mediocre but it hits the talking points so people act like it's a good/great movie. It's not even a good horror, the scares start really late in the movie and are entirely stupid. If you want a comedy horror watch Halloween 3 or some shit, if you want a political satire watch Brazil.

There seems to be a dearth of actual critics, by which I mean people who understand how films work, have knowledge of culture and art history, and can actually articulate their views.

Critics these days are rubbish. Most reviews read like blog entries and they are seemingly incapable keeping politics (the rabid, obnoxious kind) out of their writing.

Generally I check out some IMDB reviews and decide for myself if I want to see something or not.
