Board 8 > So has anyone seen this Eternals review thing?

(+) Yeah! (+)

If you don't know it is around 60% on RT BUT only from critics since well the movie isn't out. And a lot of people complain. But here is the thing. I never understood why people care for reviews.
This is like if I am a food critic, I am eating a burger and telling you this is bad, don't eat it and you say well since you are an expert I will not eat it.

I mean why? Just do what you want and judge for yourself. Do revivews of movies/games anything else really matters? I never understood that. I see that constantly. Maybe I am weird?

I give this post a 1/5.

Low effort, derivative, bad faith. 1 star.

I was really hoping this post would be about some extreme controversy where it has like 20% on RT, or a review-bombing similar to TLOU2 or something like that. Instead, you pointed out that it has mediocre reviews, and then went in a completely different direction equating it to fans not going to see it. You didn't try to troll, you didn't try to do anything unique, you just stated facts and asked our opinions. We get a hundred topics like that a week here, and I see you as no different than any of them, and so for that reason, I'm out.

Some people have limited time. Now more than ever, it's impossible to keep up with everything that's being produced. Those folks are going to spare themselves the headache on what to watch by following particular reviewers and/or websites whose writers seem to echo their tastes.

"I don't get why people follow reviews" is an age-old shout. Some do. Some don't. It's literally OK.

I care about you not understanding people who care about people who care about reviews. In fact, I'm deeply upset.

for the record i'm not excited for it but I still plan to see it in theatres, probably the following week

my dad'll probably fall asleep due to its runtime but he likes going to the movies nonetheless and likes Angelina Jolie

Is it really that surprising that a D tier Marvel property with zero star power and it's only selling point is "diversity" ends up being a bad movie?

This is the kind of thinking that creates the Metacritic scale though, because people only watch the very best things and all of a sudden a 7/10 feels like a 5/10 because you've only seen 10/10s.

Experts don't matter
The mass of the people does
IMDB ranking is much better than RT
