Rotten Tomatoes. Do you agree with their ratings?

[Nukleopatra]

i check sometimes. I don't always agree with their ratings, for example their ratings of both Paranormal Activity movies.

I agree we their ratings as well like on The Tourist, Dogtown, Kings Speech.

What do you mean? Underrated or overrated?

Overrated

Overrated

Agreed.

Although, I would give part one a fresh rating, I'd just have it around 60%.

[Rivers17ncsu]

I couldn't stand either one, both were a waste of my time IMO. Sadly they coming out with a third one this October.

Scream

Greatest slasher film ever made. No idea how its average rating is only a 7.

Another example of stupidity.

''Psycho'' is the greatest slasher film ever made.

There's nothing wrong with enjoying bad movies - but to come out and recommend the bad movie to someone because it ''ROCKED,'' just shows how fucking retarded you are (Not you personally.)

Ha, there are a ton of movies I really like but would never recommend. Especially comedies.

Just giving another example why it's better to listen to critics, than the communities at these big sites, because the community would have you believe that ''Super Troopers'' ranks up there with some of the greatest movies of all-time. And if you believe that, I'm sorry, but you're a fucking moron.

My problem with the community, is that people have a hard time judging good and bad - I'm one of the very few people that I know, that can enjoy a bad movie, yet come right out and tell you that it fucking stinks. There's nothing wrong with enjoying bad movies - but to come out and recommend the bad movie to someone because it ''ROCKED,'' just shows how fucking retarded you are (Not you personally.)

Critics never turn me in the wrong direction.

Wow this to the fucking fullest.


Just curious Nuk, what are your thoughts on these three comedies:

Old School

Coming to America

Wedding Crashers

The differences between community and critics is that community people will tell you a bias opinion of their favorite movies. Critics are people who because they have seen so many movies they feel their opinion is more important. However a lot of critics are very pretentious and only like certain types of movies, usually they gush over foreign films, dramas, artistic films, etc. They tend to forget that the majority of movie goers are not interested in these films, which is obvious to see by looking at the box office numbers.

I however am of the opinion that the only thing that is important is that the audience like the movie, and that is subjective to the viewer, I love Classic films, foreign films, independent films, but not beyond enjoying a good Horror movie, or action movie or comedy which for the most part rank near the bottom of most critics lists.

its all subjective even when you look at the so called objective aspects of film making, (acting, writing, directing) Many people will watch a David Lynch movie like Mulholland Dr. or Blue Velvet and scoff at all three of those objective attributes, other critics will disagree completely on those exact same things. So even those so called objective characteristics can be subjective to the viewer.

in the end its like this if a movie is good or bad its all subjective to the person whether you agree or not, because it is an opinion and opinions are like assholes everybody has got one and they all stink except for mine.

If I would call Psycho as slasher film, then i would agree 100%

''A slasher film is a type of horror film typically involving a psychopathic killer stalking and killing a sequence of victims in a graphically violent manner, often with a cutting tool such as a chainsaw or scythe. ''

I don't really give a fuck what you call it. Psycho is the greatest slasher movie ever made.

I guess since you have two on screen murders you can call it a sequence, albeit one maybe considered stalking the other was more about protection than stalking.

anyway since Psycho is my pick for best movie of all time then i guess it would be by that definitionthe best movie of whatever genre you put it in.

[Buzzman]

I'd honestly have to rewatch Psycho to reevaluate whether it is a slasher. From what I remember it seemed more like a horror thriller. Hitchcock used shadows and tension to literally strike fear into the viewer. I've always considered a slasher to sort of be campy.

[strahanfan92]

Is The Silence of the Lambs considered a slasher?
