How do you criticize movies?

[Xray]

Some people watch a film, and even though they might like it a little bit, their still negative about it. Criticize it in all aspects that could be found. Me on the other hand side, I'm majorly bored when I watch a film, so if its good at the slightest, even if its pretty boring but has its good parts, I'd still be positive about it and be like its a good or a dope movie.

So I'm curious to knowing how TR heads criticize movies.

dont bother watching movies unless i know what they about... sometimes you just know its gonna be good depending on who stars or who directs.. but i dont judge a movie by its soundtrack or graphics..

I'm very negative towards films as some of you probably have figured out. The past films I've seen I've been negative towards: Transformers 2, Bruno and Harry Potter. I usually complain about the plot but also the rest. Never the graphics though. I will only be positive when a film is very good indeed.

I chose the first option.

But I don't think that you have to be negative toward a film to see if it's good or bad. I mean, when I go to the cinema, I mostly expect something good, I'm positive about it. Why? Because I choose movies of the genre I like, that's A. B is that I usually check out the trailers, which are usually good and I get all hyped about it, so in general - I'm positive.

The negative feeling comes when the movie turns out to be a total shit, that wasn't worth my $5. Then I criticize what I think sucked. If it's the plot, I criticize the plot. When it's acting, I say it sucked. At times it happens, that actually everything sucked and I'd rather have a dog fart straight in my face than watch it again. Like in the 'The Mist' movie. Everything sucked, from plot to special effects, and I was really disappointed, because all the reviews said it was 'the best horror movie'.

I rarely complain about the soundtrack. I either don't care or I'm in love with it, like I am with the soundtrack from 'Cadillac Records' movie. Great

Anyways, I'm usually positive or have a neutral feeling about the movie. The negativity comes when I realize I could of save the money or buy 2 beers and re-watch Grey's Anatomy at home.

I criticize everything possible to criticize, but I'm not negative. I always look for reasons to like movies. Honestly it's been a long time since I've seen a movie (especially in theaters) that I thought sucked ass.

Same here. When it comes to movies, I'm not critical at all. I tend to enjoy the majority of movies I see.
