And so a film was born, to see the eyes of millions of anticipating viewers, the end...hardly.
Films are knocked out year after year like children born of a woman who could not keep her legs shut; however even the worst films of the year, the tackiest looking, would take a lot of hard work which is easily forgotten when you enter the cinema.
Of course this doesn't mean stop disliking a film if it really is something dire but some films really are a part of the film maker, a spillage if you will, from their head. I believe a true film maker is someone who makes films because they want to, not to impress or gain favour of the critics.
It takes more to make a film than to watch and write down the negative and positive points of a movie. It is suggested that 'true' film critics should be practiced writers and academically involved in film analysis, but at the end of the day if you like a film, you do, if you don't, you don't. My first example; the stunning visuals of Transformers: Dark of the Moon does not change the fact that while aesthetically pleasing, both sides of my brain were not required to work to watch this film. This, however, is my opinion; is that not what all critics express?
There are sources I trust more than others such as Total Film and Empire magazine, but even they have disappointed me of late with their appauling outlook on the Pirates franchise. I would never claim them to be perfect films but they have a charm, named Jack Sparrow, who has become iconic. Sorry 'Captain' Jack Sparrow.
Anywho I will delve into this further as I continue to investigate.
What I want to know is this; What do you guys out there think? What is your opinion on film critics and do you feel it influences your desire to see a film in the cinema?
I am researching this subject and I would appreciate ALL opinions : )
Films I have seen this week: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and X-Men First Class
Any thoughts on these?
