I hold absolutely no stock in what critics say, i'll watch anything. I've seen in excess of 150 movies over the last 2 years, and only 5 have disappointed me (The Last Airbender, Predators, Brighton Rock, Shark Night and Arthur Christmas). Generally because I have little expectation from most stuff, i'm generally entertained. Scoff all you like with the abhorent reviews etc, but I loved The Smurfs this summer. I'm curious to see if many others hold a similar opinion to me.
