eh. just cause ppl go see it doesnt mean it's good. for example, pirates of the carabean 2 got a horrible score with the critics but ppl went to see it BECAUSE they want to see the sequel of a good movie. they wont care. i didnt care that the matrix 2 and 3 got bad ratings because i just wanted to see the end of the movie.
and as far as critics go, i trust most of them but i prefer Rotten tomatoes for the average. 75 or more is good enough for me. but that depends. some critics will hate good movies and they might love bad movies. "open water" got a 75% when i saw it. it's still the worst movie i saw ever. and "boondock saints" got a 13% but i consider it one of the best movie i own on dvd.
so ya, i dont see movies cause its popular, i'll see it if it's good. i mean, if a critic says: "worst fucking acting of the year no plot and bad CG", then i'll mostly trust them!
edit: i will never trust a critic when it deals with computers since most dont "get" the story or technology like "antitrust". or if the actors are too big "shrek 2"...
