I hate how polarizing any show or movie is now, and how to so many people on the internet, if it's not a 10/10 masterpiece, it's "unwatchable garbage".

A guy on here told me Castlevania was "awful, unwatchable crap" eventhough it's an across the board good show, a solid 8. But since it wasn't exactly what he wanted, it's a zero to him.

I long ago swore off taking overall consensus as a good measure of anything. People are, in general, dumb, and that goes doubly so for anything that requires an iota of attention.

Also, letting other people decide for me what's good and what's not is just ridiculous. We can like what we like and that's fine.

You're allowed to like whatever you want to like. 🤷

The typical experience when you like horror movies... When horror movies get even slightly a better rating, they are often called "Mystery Thriller" or something else, just to avoid the Horror tag. Because somehow it's the law with movie critics that horror must have low rating.

I actually enjoy reviews more when they disagree with me, sometimes I can even see where they are coming from (sometimes they kinda sound silly), but whatever they didn't like / did like is just not important for me.

but it kinda improves my movie experience, same feeling as when I go with friends to see a movie and we exchange opinions but when I watch them alone.

Very rarely a review has changed my opinion, but sometimes it showed me cool stuff, like the movie avatar tlab was "okay", but the bad reviews actually showed me how awesome the show was in comparison.

fully agree, ratings don't seem to be jack to the actual movie content.

I watched the american version of solaris without knowing anything about it and I really love it. Then I looked it up online and it seems many people hate that movie which kinda surprised me but whatever I still like that movie.

Also I love the Silent Hill movie.

Sometimes hearing what other people think about a movie will give me a different perspective. Either better or worse.

Not a movie, but for me this is Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2. The music, locations, voice acting and UI (visual and audio) are fantastic, while the gameplay and story were okay enough to not drag it all down. I still listen to the soundtrack and think about how smooth the menus were.

Meanwhile to the FF fandom these games are Satan shitting down your neck
