    What I don’t really like is people telling me I shouldn’t let myself be swayed by critics and should watch it and make up my own mind.

    That’s stupid. I’m reading the reviews to decide if I wanna watch it or not. I don’t wanna spend my money and a couple hours of my life to decide if it was worth it if some people whose judgement I’ve trusted in the past tell me it’s gonna be trash.

      The “don’t listen to the critics” argument sounds a lot like what I’ve heard for many IMHO terrible DC movies.

      Don’t get swayed specifically by critics. I swear most critics in the film and video game industry have the weirdest takes ever, while they should represent an average joe. There have been many movies which have been obliterated by critics, which have been quite popular and fun, as well as many awful movies, which have been praised by critics.
