Where can I get the most RELIABLE reviews for American movies? That is, those which r not biased at all.?

Question

Disregard the question mark after the full-stop plz.

Answer 1

Go to www.amazon.com, go to DVD put in the name of the movie and click on reviews, there are reviews by real people not critics. Biased maybe but I'd rather hear from real people than critics.

Answer 2

There's no such thing as a non-biased film review. They are written by people, all of whom are biased. Until they invent a non-biased film-reviewing robot, you're out of luck. : )

But here's what I do: Go to Yahoo! Movies and type in the movie you want to read about. Underneath the title, click on "Reviews." They'll have a list of the major film reviews across the country. They include an overall score and links to the full reviews. I like to compare and contrast what different ones say and decide for myself. I personally like Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle, but to each his own. Good luck!

Answer 3

Well I went back and forth on that one. I felt that it was an exception to the rule and I had decided that I was going to wait and see it on video so that I could control it. If it became too much, I could turn it off. Then I decided that I really had no interest in seeing the movie. Most people who I spoke too said that it helped strengthen their testimony. I just decided that I did not need to see the brutality, I can read about it in my scriptures. It really came down to being the same thing as wearing the cross around my neck, a little morbid and sadistic. I can really appreciate the atonement and the purpose and horror of it without wearing a cross, or watching a brutal dramatization of it. I have not seen it, and I really don't plan on seeing it either. Good for you Drizzt, Stick with that.

My pick is hands down Rotten Tomatoes. They compile a huge array of reviews and rate films by the percentage of good reviews (Fresh) that they get. That way you can judge it for yourself based on your experience of movies compared to the reviews they got. Once you get a feel for them, you can tell almost instantaneously how you will like the movie based on the Fresh Rating and a couple key reviews. They have a section called Cream of the Crop that I find really helpful. This way you can, at a glance, get a feel for how the spectrum of reviewers respond to a movie. It is the ratings by a handful of the nations best reviewers. They have trailers, synopses, you can get tickets and showtimes as well. You can't beat it.

Enjoy.

Answer 5

I don't think they're biased, just subjective. Everyone has their point of view for what they're looking for or not looking for in a movie. Like some people think it's important to have fantastic acting all the time in special effects action movies rather than just be entertained. I like pluggedinonline.com and movieguide.org, but that's just me. =)

Overall, I think the best movie reviews come from friends who share the same views of movies as I do, who have seen the film. But I can usually tell from trailers what to expect.

Answer 6

i tend not to not pay too much attention to what the critics have to say. (most, but not all) critics are critics because they failed trying to become what they are critiquing. i.e., movie critics are unsuccessful screen writers, directors, etc., so they're a bit biased and bitter to begin with, and they tend to take themselves way too seriously.
that being said, still read the reviews but take them with a grain of salt. don't let the reviews prevent you from seeing the movies for yourself. make your own decisions from there.
the most reliable reviews for movies are the ones you form on your own.
one thing i like to do is use the yahoo! movies reviews to compare what critics have to say against what users/general audiences have to say. the general audiences are going to give the most realistic impressions of the movies they see because they have nothing to gain or lose from sharing their impressions. just try to ignore the reviews that rate the film with all As or all Fs, and take what you read in between as someone else's opinion, not as fact.

Answer 7

Every movie review is colored by the reviewer's likes and dislikes. You can't get away from that. The best you can do is find a reviewer, or a few reviewers who seem to give good reviews to movies you like and/or bad reviews to movies you don't like, and go by what they say.

Answer 8

The best place it to find reviews from everyday people who have seen the movie, not from critics. Yahoo! Movies has where people can vote and grade the movie. Check that out.

Answer 10

i don't think there is such a thing. everyone is going to express their opinions about certain things. the best thing for you to do is to see the movie yourself and decide whether YOU think it is good or not. maybe what you think is different than what ebert and roeper say. that's why i don't listen to them; i see the movie for myself.
