Critics and Grown-ups alike hate Dragon Wars
So most every movie critic had terrible things to say about D-War. But I’d like to point out that none of those critics are 13-year-old boys.
I think the movie would be getting much better coverage if news outlets like Variety, LA Weekly and Utne Reader hired adolescent males. Aren’t they the audience that studios are dumbing everything down for?
I’m not saying they should get to review every movie. I don’t trust a sexually frustrated high-school freshman to review a Jane Campion film. But I’d be happy to hear his insights into Dragon Wars or Aliens Vs. Predator.
I voted other as I tend to use the Filmspotting Podcast as my primary review source. But of the selection, I trust the Onion A.V. Club for reviews the most.
But you can read puberty-powered 13-y/o reviews!
Ain't It Cool, dude!
Where every review is guaranteed 3,000 pointless adjectives and run over 1,000 words more than they should be.
Ah, clearly Heaven.
I tend to check up on Rotten Tomatoes to see if a film is absolutely awful/better than sex, and if it's anywhere in between I'll just go with my original thoughts anyway. Too many movies have been ruined for me by reading a critical review beforehand only to find myself picking out all manner of flaws I probably would have ignored in my Hollywood reverie otherwise.
