Answer 1

There's a little thing in the United States called The First Amendment. It guarantees free speech and a free press. They can say the movies are no good if they want.

You probably were glad when the cattle ranchers tried to get Oprah thrown in jail for saying she doesn't eat beef.

Answer 2

I don't think there are any mainstream films that have been "totally destroyed" by critics, as 99% of cinamagoers don't give a **** what the critics say. As evidence, look at the Da Vinci Code, Hostel, Ice Age 2, The Omen, in fact most of this years big films. All trashed by most critics, yet people are queueing up in their MILLIONS to go and see them.

On the other hand it seems more than likely that the success or otherwise of low-budget indie films is due to the reviews critics give them, as these films don't have massive advertising budgets, so the reviews are about all the publicity they get.

But overall no, the critics don't, and shouldn't, pay the film companies anything if a film fails!

Answer 3

Film critics have a job: to evaluate each film that they see. It is no different from spouting off to your mates down the pub about what a load of rubbish so-and-so was or telling your friends on My Space to go and see this film 'cos it's brilliant. We all have free choice and that includes whether we want to take notice of opinions that other people come out with....or not. So how would you feel if you were rubbishing Steven Spielberg's latest to your friends and they said, 'I'm not seeing that'?, and Spielberg himself was standing behind you? Would he be entitled to sue you for lost profits? Yet that is what you are suggesting. Why should critics pay for having an opinion? Then nobody would want the job and we would have nobody to evaluate films before release.
