[Movie] Do online reviews affect how you enjoy movies?

So let's say you see this pretty bad-ass trailer and tell yourself "Oh wow, that's a pretty bad-ass trailer! I'm gonna watch that movie!" But since you're not sure if the movie is worth your money, you check the internet for reviews.

Let's say Critic #1 from very popular movie review site says "The movie sucked. Don't watch it.", and the movie's average rating is around 30%. And since you trust this website very much, and you think movie critics are the best people in the world, you didn't bother watching the movie and tell your friends how bad the movie is.

Months pass and you happen to see the trailer again! You remember how bad-ass you thought it was and you get really curious, just like little boys do on their 10th birthdays. So you pickup the dee-vee-dee and finally got to watch it. At this point you remember that the reviews say it's a pretty bad movie, so you tell yourself "I'll just lower my expectations because it's probably crap".

But then after watching it you realize how perfectly made the movie was and that critics are total dicks whose main goal is to give the lowest rating to every movie! They lied to you and broke your trust, making you wait a few more months before being able to watch this really good movie!

And due to the dissapointment of being lied to, you rant on the internet.

tl;dr do you believe in online reviews?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Holy crap zerg out of nowhere! Do you think movie reviews are helping people to choose the right movies to watch? Or are they confusing people's desire and curiosity with their selfish opinions?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
