RE: The disconnect between me and movie reviewers.
I think the "critics" are watching the movies for dramatic appeal. (i.e. what win awards). The general public is watching the movie simply for enjoyment.
I wonder if the separation between the "pollsters" versus the "general public" would correlate this against recent elections in various Countries. The pollsters/critic tell us what they think will happen based on an outdated recipe ... the public votes how they feel.
I thought about that too. And it gets very complex. But not so much for films, I guess.
If a majority of the critics say Rambo is bad movie and a Majority of the Public says Rambo is a great film then who speaks the truth?
The only way you can know for sure is to go and watch it and then you will know.
But on other more important topics you can't always do that. And that is a problem.
So when you hear constantly that Person A will win the election because this person is the best but then Person B wins it. What was the truth and who was right?
