Do you read or listen to reviews prior to seeing a movie? Any favorite reviews? I enjoy reading Ebert on Scorsese's works.

    No, I just look at number of review averages. The individual reviews dont matter. The aggregate will generally let you know if its any good. Then I wait ten years and go off what random internet strangers say is “based.”

      This is the right idea.
      >It's fucking shit!
      It's a good movie that the masses enjoy
      >It's underated kino!
      It's usually a pretty below average film which deserves no real praise

    I pay attention to the current the reviews are moving in (if the movie is good or bad, or if critics like it but audiences hate it/vice versa). I don't listen to one singular person and take their opinion as gospel.

    But the other woman wanted to let Kane back onto the ship, both the female officers wanted different things to the given situation. Hindsight is all good and all but if you're crew member/friend is dying you'd want to do all you can to save their life.

      That other woman is also acting hysterical throughout the rest of the movie after that and Ripley isn't some turbo feminist who's bossing people around while being blatantly ignored. Liberals having selective memory is nothing new though so I'm not surprised.

    I follow a few relevant guys and also I'm lucky to be french so that I can read les cahiers du cinéma, that has helped me a lot.
    You can then see if your interpretation of a film is not cretinous, and you learn to enjoy new genres and directors.
    It's good to read about a film preemptively, you're more alert when viewing it.

    But thats not even what happens lol. The captain listens, he just has to do his duty. The crew doesn't want to do it either but its in their contract. Its the corp using them as fodder and the android enforcing it. This homosexual and his wife couldn't even make a gay "anti capitalist" statement they went straight to generic strong woman and cat statement. How does one fail so hard?

    Not really, I've never found a reviewer whose opinion I always agree with, but I often agree with Mike (but not Jay) from RLM, Critical Drinker, and E;R, so if they like something and I think it sounds interesting I'll check it out, but if they say it's bad I won't necessarily ignore the film - they were all wrong about Moonfall for example, which is awesome. I'll also buy pretty much any movie I can find on blu ray for under $2 and watch it regardless of what kind of reviews it got.

    No. Why should I care what others think? Most people are idiots and shouldn't be allowed to voice their opinions. I will glance at the IMDB score of movies I have not heard of out of curiosity orbit in trying to decide between a few choices, but it doesn't dictate if I watch something.

    That's not even what happened in the movie - in the movie Ash opens the airlock to contravene the quarantine order because he's following Special Order 937. Everyone else is panicking in the moment, but it's Ash who actually does it, and not because he's not listening to the smart woman.

      Also once Dallas dies and Ash goes crazy, Lambert and Parker follow Ripley's plan to escape without complaining or trying to undermine her. They die because the Alien shows up and ruins everything.

    I wait at least a year after the movie released or the TV show ended. If people are still talking about it and recommending it a year later then I might check it out. Otherwise, it was probably just another generic boring over-hyped product that in the end is totally forgettable. And for TV shows it's good to hear if it ends like shit like Game of Thrones, which I will now never watch knowing how badly they fucked it up.

    There was also nothing that indicated Ripley was the heroine. Her survival was determined by good luck and being saved by the alien going after other people instead. Her only heroic moment is as sole survivor, suiting up and sneaking around the dropship to hit the purge switch.
