And does it change your mind? Or no? Or you just read it for fun?

And do you listen to movie reviews from your friend? Like when they say, "don't watch it, it sucks!"
Do you still watch it?

Or are you the person who judges the film after you watch it?

Yeah, I watch the review before deciding to watch/or buy the movie. I don't always listen to my friend's opinion, because their 'likes' and mine is different. So I can't base on everything about the movie that I want to see from them. I still watch it though. I just watch the beginning for a while, and if it interest me then probably I would go back and yell at my friend face saying: "You are one liar! The movie is great! You have no taste!" and go "hahaha" in her face. lol. JK. I would probably get a slap right in my face right now. lol. happy.gif
Nothing change my mind, only if I see it with my own two eyes. Otherwise, nothing can change my mind. =P

No; if the preview looks good that's enough for me. However AWAKE looked better than it was. By far.

Nope, I'll watch it if it looks good to me. I don't really read reviews, it kills it sometimes.
My brother does tho T_T

I read or listen to reviews if I'm bothered, but that doesn't deter me from watching a movie.

I like to form my own choices.

I read reviews all the time.
My money is precious to me
Since I don't have hardly any lol
If it says the movie is like 0 stars
Then I either
a ) don't go
b ) wait to see it in the $3 movies
c ) wait to borrow it from a friend when it's on DVD
d ) wait until it premiers on TV lol
If it has like a medium-low review, I'll still watch it though.

I don't trust reviews anymore. I used to read them all the time, before purchasing a DVD. But, many of the times, I ended up actually enjoying the low rated movies. So, if I think a movie looks good, chances are higher that I'll like it.

if it sounds interesting to me, i'll watch it..
other people aren't me.. so just because they don't like something doesn't mean i won't ... or vice-versa.
i prefer to decide for myself~

usually i don't read reviews.
& i don't really get affected when people say it's "bad"
but then again, movie tickets are such a rip-off these days = 3 =
maybe i should start.. xp

I read reviews for EVERYTHING (movies, makeup, hotels, restaurants) because I don't like wasting my time or money. Sometimes I'll see it because I like the actors or the plot or if it just had a very anticipated opening, just to see for myself.
