Another strip about bad movies. Nothing iritates me more than having high hopes for a film only to have them dashed by actually watching the film. Even movies that seem to get positive reviews tend to disappoint me and make me wonder what others saw in the movie that I didn't see. Could be a situation where people say they like the movie simply to go along with the overall perception (that may have been created by the film's marketing efforts, not based on anything substantive).
Instead of spending millions of dollars to market new movies, perhaps Hollywood should save that money and let consumers decide if a movie is worth watching or not. It would bring ticket prices down and probably put more people into theater seats (not me, I don't like to spend money to have someone kick the back of my seat for two hours). Plus it wouldn't raise expectations too high for films. People can go in to a film with an open mind and come out with their own formulated opinion of it. Tired of being told I'm going to see a comedy and I sit there and not laugh at all. Comedy, of course, is subjective, but there's also bad attempts at comedy (like this comic strip for example, ha!).
