Do you find that you agree with film critics scores a lot?
For the last year I’ve been reading through year old Empire magazines, as after a year almost everything is on a streaming service subscription (and I have most). I have been watching almost everything that they’ve scored 3 stars or above (3 stars is a recommendation). I would estimate that I disagree with 90% of their scores. 87% are too high 3% are too low.
I know some will say find a better critic, but I’m generally not that bothered what I watch, just as long as I haven’t seen it before. I’m just amazed how often I disagree. I would often knock 2 stars off some of their reviews. Funnily enough yesterdays film was one of the very few where I would rate the film higher than them. WolfWalkers deserved 5 stars imo.
Is it just me? Anyone else read Empire or other publications and disagree a lot?
