Movie critics are almost always wrong. If they hate it, it is almost certainly a good film to see. If they like it, usually it is dreck.

I think this movie critic is very astute and highly accurate. I enjoyed his criticism of the movie (Star Wars, "the Phantom Menace")better than the movie. Actually I hated the movie, and this guy explained better than anyone else, why I hated the movie.

I think George Lucas is a talentless hack, and only got lucky with his talent pool in the original movie. They tossed out his worst ideas. Everything he's done since has been worse and worse dreck. Each succeeding episode has been more sucky than the previous.

I could always trust Roger Ebert’s reviews though. Lefty he was, but his reviews were always spot on (may he rest in peace).

You can't enjoy the view through a window if you are focused on looking for smudges on the glass.

If a movie is not a vehicle for promoting Marxism, the movie critics will pan it. The first Star Wars was all about rebellion against totalitarianism.

If critics hate a movie and viewers like it, that is a pretty good sign that it is a good movie.

If critics like it, and viewers are “meh.” then do not go!
