High critic score / high audience score = Good
High critic score / low audience score = Paid-for hype, or politically motivated reviews
Low critic score / high audience score = Possibly a good movie
Low critic score / low audience score = Bad
- liveoneggs 1y agothis feels like an interview question
- rdedev 1y agoHere is a better heuristic: High critic score / low audience score = Avant garde type films. Might go over your head Low critic score / high audience score = Maybe fun but forgettable movie
- autoexec 1y agoI feel pretty confident that Captain Marvel, Emilia Perez, Spy Kids, Sausage Party, The Last Jedi, and Ghostbusters 2016 aren't at much risk of going over the heads of audiences, but you're entitled to your opinion if you think they count as avant garde cinema
- rdedev 1y agoHey it's a heuristic so ymmv
- i_love_limes 1y agoI have to disagree with your take on "High critic score / low audience score". There is a swathe of more challenging, experimental, or art house movies that fall into this category. These reviews fill the void where another audience only place like imdb falls short.
- stared 1y agoLow critic score / high audience score = Bad, but enjoyable for the masses
- Gareth321 1y agoMaybe we need to define "bad," because I would argue an enjoyable movie is good. Movies don't need to be avant garde to be good. They just need to be entertaining.
- nyeah 1y agoThis sounds appealingly highbrow, but it's not particularly accurate in my experience. I think the critics often get into their own bizarre headspace that nobody else cares about.
- viridian 1y agoI wish this were true, but the critics as a polity just don't have a sophisticated palate. Many individual critics much like many general audience members do, I'm sure.
