You're Trash, Brock: Venom debuts to predictably bad reviews - Sensationalist Headlines

Eli Roth's first good movie

Depends for me. Movies are expensive and ratings and reviews still help at least in determining something if it's worth the couple hours and popcorn in the big screen, or it might be better to wait for the cheaper digital release on streaming sites. Like low 20-40% averages probably mean it's a really haphazardly made movie, and maybe by no means something irredeemably terrible, but there are better ways to spend the money and time with. 50-60% averages with a similar or higher viewer rating is a good safe spot, usually means a forgettable if not at least enjoyable romp, and a good movie to watch with friends and/or family. It's not true for most cases of course, but it's a good gauge still. I firmly believe it's better to always judge something yourself before just completely dismissing something (with the exception of extreme cases i.e. something like The Emoji Movie where it's kind of easy to judge that it really won't offer anything worth watching). I mean the inverse happens too with movies that are in the higher 80-90% percentile being completely boring or forgettable too, especially in hindsight. Either way it is good to at least have a guideline and something to keep your expectations on a certain level. It's a benefit too, such as when you see a badly reviewed movie and be pleasantly surprised and ending up enjoying it. The only times where I can safely ignore any reviews is if there's a specific element or niche in a film that I really like, such as the premise, the actors and crew on board, the concept, the franchise or what not. I'm not particularly picky with movies in general but there really are some genuinely huge stinkers out there that really does show how accurate low critic scores are. Nothing wrong on having to eventually see them to judge it yourself, but it's good to have priorities on what to consume because your own time and potentially money is very precious and limited.

I've never really bothered checking critic ratings at all when it comes to going to the movies. Everything I go to see almost always has some sort of interest to me, whether it be an actor/s, theme, genre, etc. The only film I looked at the scores for before going was the Scarlett Johansson Ghost in the Shell, which had pretty meh scored. I was pretty disappointing in the scores but I went and saw it anyway. of course I was a bit upset while watching the film for a bit, as I had the original anime and GITS stuck in my head, but once I was able to separate that I actually enjoyed the movie (save the whole "ghost" thing that they terribly watered down and lost the entire meaning of the title with).

Heard "House with a clock in its walls" was actually good, too. Yes, Eli Roth directed a children's film.

Well, duh. It went for a PG-13 rating and had a review embargo, it was bound to end up a complete stinker.

Please everyone just stop watching comic book movies at all, they're all dogshit and maybe they'll stop making them.

It looked pretty good and was surprised to see his name attached to it

Apparently there's a scene where Venom and Tom Hardy make out.

Gotta appeal to that tumblr fandom that thinks Venom is hot somehow. No seriously, there's a whole fandom of Venom fetishists on Tumblr.

Ok, I guess I have to see the film regardless, just to see if that's true.

Except the dozens of good ones...

What's the story with Lady Gaga? Was she cut out?

She was cast as carnage and ate a baby so much it went into a coma

I knew it; you'll never get a better venom than Topher Grace

I'm expecting that my girlfriend is gonna buy us a ticket if she hasn't already because I've been hyping Venom hard af. Gonna have to pretend I'm still totally hyped.

Funny way to write Inglorious Basterds.

you mean the movie he didn't write or direct?

AHA! I knew traveling between realities was possible and you gave yourself away.

why are these autistic windbags trying to shoehorn lady gaga into this bullshit I don't understand the feud I guess

What dose this gotta do with autistic people lmao

there's like one other dude in that entire scene lmao

Reviews were the reasons I skipped both Man of Steel and Dawn of Justice. By which I mean spoiler filled reviews. Once I learned about the infamous final act of Man of Steel, I didn't have any interest in seeing the movie. And it was the same with Dawn of Justice to an even greater extent, after I found out how Snyder not only continued his trashing of Superman's character, but also trashed Batman, Lex Luthor, Lois Lane, and basically everyone else in the movie other than Wonder Woman. I wasn't worried that I was missing possible nuance that somehow tied the movies together, because there was nothing that would make Superman snapping Zod's neck or Batman mowing down people with guns work for me.

Except he directed the Nazi propaganda movie that Hitler and his pals are watching in the cinema towards the end. ;)

It gets worse: people are confirming that the early rumors about Venom in full costume barely even appearing in the film were true. The trailers and the other clips they've released online are reportedly the full extent of Venom's scenes: the rest is just Tom Hardy with Symbiote tentacles. I fucking knew it.

I think the best tactic is to find a few respectable reviewers that you mostly align with and read what they think to get an idea of how you'll react to a film.

Even if you don't agree with them all the time, too, if you know their biases, you can understand what or why they review something a certain way.

and? there's a reason he was uncredited lol

I can’t wait to go to work and hear how bad it is. Our distributor went damn hard, shirts, cups, standee and an excessive amount of posters.

wait a minute the polygon review wasn't bad just that snippet.

I wonder if it'll give more of those society memes.
