Fed up of the critics, I Loved it

Rating: Null/10 (19 June 2004)

I no longer take any notice of film critics either here or the other side of the Atlantic. Why? Because they appear to have lost all sense of escapism and pure fantasy when watching a film. I don't get to go to the movies that often being a single parent but when I do I go without this analytical stance that reviewers seem to have.
I see the cup as half full as opposed to half empty. That is not to say I don't criticise a rubbish film but I like to think I view the movie in the manner in which it was intended. It is hard to put into words but I just feel that people just analyze too much and forget the escapist quality of films and the fantastic effects that nowadays can create this.
Many of the criticisms could be said to be true if you are looking at it that way. I went to forget for a while. And I did. OK not as good as gladiator.. but I did not compare. I knew it could not. But as far as I am concerned it stood well on its own. I came out thinking " I really enjoyed that". To me its as simple as that.
I do think going in with such a critical mind will spoil many a film.
