And the award for the worst movie critic goes to......
Armond White. I can't believe this guy still has a job. He is the most hated critic on Rotten Tomatoes.
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/author/author-2725/ He has given bad reviews for UP, Star Trek, and last years Iron Man and The Dark Knight and good reviews for, Terminator Salvation, Dance Flick, Bedtime Stories, and now Land of the Lost. Last edited by sd4chiefs; 06-03-2009 at 01:25 PM.. |

Anyone who claims the "film" Little Man (Wayans Brothers) includes Oscar worth performances deserves to have their ass kicked.
Shawn Edwards Whore of the year rank - LINK 4. SHAWN EDWARDS 2007’s Whore of the Year fails to repeat in 2008. Giving up his crown, at least for now, Shawn Edwards is still the model of consistency amongst the whores and the sluts. Outside of Travers, Lyons Sr. and Pete Hammond, nobody has amassed as many quotes at Criticwatch as Edwards has and this marks the sixth consecutive year that he’s ranked in the Top 5. He is the proverbial cockroach that seemingly can’t be stopped. He shrugs us off in interviews, continues to play a racial bias no matter how ordinary or downright awful a film is and is simply downright shameless. Whatever, he has to live with himself and the reputation he’s built. Those of us with respect for many of our colleagues know him to be one of the true punchlines of our profession, only you rarely hear anyone he’s been in contact with come to his defense other than Christopher Hearne at the Kansas City Star. 23 quotes for Edwards in 2008. 16 of them rotten at R.T. Anyone who calls Twilight “one of the best vampire movies ever” needs their own pulse checked, because they sure don’t have one of someone that’s supposed to know movies. Check ‘em out and let’s leave this stain behind. Classy. (Leatherheads) Honest and brave (Stop-Loss) Intelligent and intense. (Vantage Point) Intense! Samuel L. Jackson is brilliant. ****! It grips you and never lets go. (Lakeview Terrace) You won't sleep for weeks. Unbelievably scary! (The Strangers) Genuinely funny! Ghost Town is a sophisticated, witty and charming comedy. (Ghost Town) Insanely funny! Will Ferrell delivers another winner. (Semi-Pro) Totally hilarious! Martin Lawrence has never been funnier! (Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins) Awesome! The freshest and funniest comedy in a long time. (Drillbit Taylor) Fabulous, fun and fresh! Anna Faris’ charm is infectious. (The House Bunny) Funniest movie of the summer! (Get Smart) The funniest movie of the year. Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon are terrific. The perfect holiday treat. (Four Christmases) It's Superbadder than any comedy this year. (Sex Drive) **** An American classic. (Appaloosa) **** An instant classic! It’s visually awesome, totally fun and tremendously entertaining. (Horton Hears a Who) Electrifying! The most exhilarating movie of this year! Eagle Eye is an action packed thrill ride that puts the pedal to the metal. (Eagle Eye) One of the best movies of the year. (The Express) Magnificent! A movie experience everyone will love. One of the year's very best. (The Secret Life of Bees) ****!...Hilarious…An all out fun experience that will make you fall in love with the magic of movies. (Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist) Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson are this generation's most engaging on-screen couple. (Fool’s Gold) Wonderful! Delightful! Enchanting! Penelope is the most charming and irresistibly romantic movie you’ll likely see all year. I loved it. (Penelope) A refreshingly cool, sophisticated and completely romantic film... (Definitely, Maybe) ****! Epic! One of the best vampire movies ever. Sexy, stylish and altogether the coolest movie of the year. (Twilight) |

That's the way I am with Transformers. It really doesn't matter how good or bad that movie is; I will see it (in the theater).

When it comes to film critics, I just don't trust them. Unfortunately, the only way to find out for sure is to plunk down your cash and see/rent it and find out for yourself. |

I'm just a bit too old for Transformers - by the time they hit I'd outgrown watching new cartoons. No cars that turn into robot things for me, thank you very much.

Same here. But i did enjoy the first one for the junky fun that it was. This will be more of the same. Michael Bay does one thing well: Blow sh*t up pretty. |

If someone needs a movie critic to tell them what's good or bad you might as well go all in - buy the extra MTV channels and dress how they tell you, join the Oprah book of the month club so she tells you what to read and build your social circle on who can get you into the best cocktail part.
I get more insight reading everyday Joe's like us input on movies than those "you get paid for what?!?!?" robots. Seriously, these people watch movies as a job. It's the main reason I've never become a kayak instructor or a fly fishing teacher. |

Whats funny is, reviews dont matter all that much when it comes to popularity of a movie. Look at most of the stuff released in the past few months of the year that made alot of money. Alot of it was poorly reviewed. I think where reviews make the most differrence is in low budget or independent movies which need all the press and exposure they can get. |

The thing is not finding a reviewer you agree with, but finding one you trust. Before I started reviewing, I knew my tastes and the tastes of my favorite critic (writing style, info, etc.). And if he didn't like it, chances are I would. I didn't agree with him most of the time, but I knew him and trusted him.
