quick question about influence by others here

[Nautica]

Do we really influence YOU,yes or no when it comes to buying that ticket or renting that dvd.
I have been influenced to see a certain film and boy was I miffed by the reviews here.I hated the film.Not going to debate what film it was just wondering how many of you really are influenced here.
~Thanks~

maybe if it's like unanimous against a film i may not bother but really i like movies others hate,and it is so individual. critique=close minded.

It depends on how in-depth the review is. I have avoided films because trashy language,excessive gore/sex/nudity were mentioned. Also have seen movies because someone mentioned they are non-offensive.

technically yeah I guess people here influence me... but to do the opposite ... if a whole bunch of people say "I hated that movie" I'm much more likely to go see it... and if a professional movie critic says "I hated that movie" I'm *definitely* gonna see it I'm such a rebel. With people here, if they say they liked it, I'd probably still watch it, but if a movie critic liked it, I usually stay far away LOL

 

[Cloudz]

none what so ever- infact,films that you guys trash I feel like seeing for myself--

 

[Lithium Hobo]

Nope. Not the sense that I avoid films because of reviews on here because, well, let's faced it, they're going to be a bit biased from the get-go. Do I flock towards movies that are generally disliked on this forum? Not really; but I do grow some interest. Movies that are controversial are usually more enjoyable to watch; more interesting - more original. More worth my $7.

I don't let others influence me but I have interest in your opinions

nope. My desicion to watch or not watch a film is not influenced at all by critiques or comments of others. My mind is already made up to watch or not watch by my views of a movie based on does it catch my eye or look interesting to me.

i will read what others have to say about it but only to see if there is something in the movie that is the "biggie - dont miss it" scene so I wont miss it when it appears.

I tend to like to hear what others (of all ages and genres think) but there's also people in my life that try to influenece me to or not to watch a film which like others have said -just doesn't fly. I fight the majority unless we're talking about real evil in a film then I of course DO listen and refrain from the film.

 

[Fangtastic]

maybe it's my ADD but if you say no ,I say yes! I cannot be influenced by people over my viewing decisions.

RottenTom site makes me laugh myself to death because they're paid to give us BOTH reviews like I'm going to listen.

 

[BeachBlonde]

Not here at CF,but I've been influenced outside of this

 

[HawaiianTropicalDude]

Maybe,subconciously!

 

[Truffle]

i think sometimes my friends try and influence me and maybe even parents but that's okay because of ratings and stuff. if its rated for me and i hear stuff i need to see a movie and make up my mind for myself and people on this board really don't effect me with their advice unless it's like everybody saying the same thing ..

 

[If Not For Grace]

Do we really influence YOU,yes

I am swayed if a film is recommended highly here by more than one person. I guess I am lazy and rather than waste time on sumt, I look for recommendations by the religious sect.
SO YES I am more likely to see a film that has been mentioned here.

More so the Television advertisements. I saw the advertisement for ‘Invincible’ on the television and had to go see it. It’s with Mark Walberg about a part time teacher and part time bartender. He goes from a want-a-be football player to a spot on the team of the Philadelphia Eagles. It’s a true story and he stayed on the team for three years. This may be the best movie this year.
