  I pay more attention to the user rating than the critics rating, critics are either paid off, or what they like in a movie is different than most movie goers.

    Hard to avoid spoilers this way, but the best way to consider critic reviews is to focus on the negative ones. If a movie gets 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, and the negative reviews are all rather inane, you can be reasonably confident that it's actually a good movie. But when they start making valid points, you can be confident it's merely overhyped.

  >> Wait, so your expectations for the movie would be higher if the Rotten Tomatoes score was lower? Yes. A good movie should be hated by certain reviewers. There are a great many reviewers with radically different tastes than mine. The chances of us all agreeing about a movie are slim. So when I see "100%" I am suspicious.
