Myself, I never read the reviews at Rotten Tomatoes or other such sites because I care nothing about what critics think on this or that movie, I need no confirmation for the validity of my very own opinions on movies.

Actually, it's frequently the case that a movie I consider great and awesome has bad reviews and is kind of a boxoffice bomb (I could give examples) and conversely, there are movies with ravishing reviews and hundreds of millions at the boxoffice that I consider a painful waste of my time, which actually reflects pretty badly on the many (highly undeserved) enthusiastic reviews and the critics perpetrating them.

And yes, I'm over 50.

Best regards.
