It depends. Films like this always seem to be the strange ones that gain a cult audience for its so bad it's good qualities.

[up][up]You could also bring up times when the critics were right, so yeah YMMV.

You could definitely add Ninja Assassin to that list of "critically panned films that have a sizeable audience that likes them," in other words. Of course, I forgot to put in my above comment that YMMV. Every film has its detractors.

[up]Point certainly proven. The critics aren't always right, but they usually are. How else would I have discovered that Seltzer And Friedberg films are really that bad?

Make the mistake of paying for a ticket for EpicMovie and sit through the whole thing.

Geth, Warner Bros. told the New York Times that the test screenings went bad. That's Word of God combined a very reliable news source.

In related news, Zach Snyder has announced the director's cut will add 18 minutes to the film.

Slight correction: it was New York Magazine, a division of the New York Times.

By the way, Guy Ritchie turned down the Xerxes job.

[up] About this

Well I agree with the quote. Look at Speed Racer. Great movie. Panned by critics. Of course YMMV.
Yeah, it was also panned by the audience, considering it was a massive flop.

After 50 reviews, the film has a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 28% (14/50) and a Top Critics rating of 13% (2/16). Bizarrely enough, one of the positive reviews came from former MTV host Kurt Loder.

For those who watched the movie............figured out why it's called Sucker Punch yet?

Also, the only critic ever worth listening to is the Nostalgia Critic...and only as a comedian.

Because that is what you feel like after the movie ends (from trying to figure out what the hell you just watched)?

I have watched it and there are no musical sections. You can decide if that's good or bad. Maybe there will be in director's cut. It's also surprisingly un-violent for a Zack Snyder movie.

As for the title, the ending isn't happy.

Looking at the percentage of film critics who liked/disliked something is fairly meaningless, in my opinion. You're not gonna know whether the film's right for you 'til you get into the details of the review and find out why they liked/disliked it.

If it's a downer ending, forget it. I don't care how unrealistic or "fluffy" or "not true art" a happy ending is; I don't go to see a wacky popcorn movie to come out feeling depressed.

Watchmen was amazing IMO.

And there's no way you can prove God or any other higher power doesn't/does exist.

Not sure about this movie, honestly .
