I don't know about you but most of the time when a film comes out and gets a great reputation with tones of positives critics, when i finaly get to see it, maybe i expect to much and finish off realy disapointed, and i'd say this happens 8 times out off 10. Does it do the same to you? Do you often end up thinking that the film was overated ?

When you set your hopes too high and it does not meet you get disappointed.
If I told you a film stinks to the core and it does alright, you would find that it was good.

There are tons of examples around about large marketing budgets but the film just did not match up.

yes...it has happened to me sometimes also..Many movie previews show the movie as really good, but then it turns out to be extremely bad. That is just because they obviously just show the best parts of the movie....while they don't give us any hint that the movie is bad. But we shouldn't take into consideration the opinions that movie critics give us. If we find ourselves excited about a certain movie, we should go watch it. But everyone has different opinions about what movie is good and what movie is bad.

The most important thing is to have a review from a site that is not bias with certain movies or are paid by the advertising to falsely promote a bad film.

I often inquire around me before i go and see a film; test the global temperature before taking the family to the movies, my mates and I have very similar tastes so it rarely goes wrong!

Well, I usually don't read the reviews of a movie before I see it. Of course, usually they have the reviews on the commercial for the movie, but that's all, so it never happens to me.

Trailers are better representations of the film.
Though I would always tell myself that those 60 seconds of running time are the best that the movie can ever get
