Don't have to watch it

Rating: 1/10 (2 March 2013)

Okay so how do you know a movie is good or bad before you see it? For instance you read about or hear about or see a trailer for a movie and you make your decision to see it or not to see it. Never mind what you hear about it from friends...those are the movies you are undecided about. So how do you make that decision? You go on instinct, I suppose. Let me give you an example...well, let me give you two. First of all I saw the trailer for THE GOLDEN COMPASS and soooo wanted to see it that I managed to borrow a pirated copy from a friend, intending, to buy it when it came out. What a pile of do-do that turned out to be. Then there was all the broo-ha-ha about a movie about wizards going to college which put me right off but actually Harry Potter was not all that bad. So instincts can be wrong sometime but not always and more often-then- not you end up watching a flick which, at the end, your sub-conscious tell you "I told you so!" Now everything I have heard, or seen or watched about this movie tells me that I should not waste my time, torture my sub-conscious, or extend the range of my wrath by watching this shyte. So instead I'll give it an awful rating and hope that this insult to the Bran Stoker legacy (and there have been a few) ends up were it belongs....in the grave.
