    I don't read the reviews from official reviewers like that Robert and Ebert, but I will sometimes read them from everyday people who have watched the movies. Helps me decide what to go rent sometimes.

    Not any more. I've found they never agree with my perception. I base my movie going on who is in it and if the story line is something I'm interested in.

    I read them, but I usually don't agree with them, so I don't use them as a guide to decide whether or not to see a movie.

    Yes I read them sometimes just to see how they screw up again. Movie critics are terrible. They never get it right and always seem to dog the really good movies. They give you all of this useless information and always miss the point. And that is, is the movie entertaining? Because if I leave the theater feeling entertained, then too me, it was a good damn movie.

    Rotton Tomatos.com is an excellent source. Ebert is still one of the best.

    I read reviews, but they very rarely influence my decision to see a movie.
