RE: How much do the critics' movie reviews influence you?

in CineTV3 years ago

My thoughts exactly. Times when a critic like Pauline Kael could single-handedly destroy career of someone like David Lean with a negative review are long gone. Whether it's a good or bad thing is anyone's guess. And this "weirdness" with Paddington 2 vs. Citizen Kane is nothing new. I saw it with IMDb rating in 1995 when A Close Shave, 30-minute clay animation film from Wallace and Gromit franchise, apparently became the best film ever made.

Yeah, @drax. It's kinda crazy to think that a movie could be destroyed only with the opinion of a single critic.
