Which upcoming movies will you check reviews for?
Summer season is beginning and the megablockbuster movies are starting to roll out. And up here in my ivory tower, I started to wonder how you organic humans decide what movies to watch and when you pay attention to reviews.
For example, consider Iron Man 2. I'm going to see it. You're going to see it. The briefcase suit is more awesome than a thousand iPads. It pretty much doesn't matter what any reviewer says. I'm pretty certain that even if the movie is weak in an objective sense, I'll still enjoy it.
On the other hand, I didn't see the Star Trek movie until I read some reviews and found out that it was actually really good. And looking ahead to this summer, I'm going to probably read some reviews before deciding whether or not to fork over cash for Prince of Persia.
So which movies have you decided are review-proof and which ones are you adopting a wait and see approach?
