What do you think about movies not getting screened in advance for critics before opening?

Question

As a result, reviews of the film don't appear until several days after opening (if at all.) It used to be rare, but nowadays there's an average of one a week. Current films falling into this category include "Superhero Movie", "Shutter", "Meet the Browns" and "The Ruins".

Have you seen many such films (in the theater or video)?

Answer 1

I don't like it!!! I want to hear their opinions on the movie. I'm a total movie lover.

Answer 2

Usually the flics that ain't screened just b4 opening r the films that r predictably awful. "Superhero Movie" seems 2 b a pretty good example, after all, "Meet the Spartans" hasn't even been on Blu-Ray yet, so perhaps critics expected more of the same.



I never watched such films in theaters (I only c 1-3 movies a year), or on DVD. It's more entertaining 2 read the negative reviews for such movies on RottenTomatoes.com or iMDB.com.

Answer 3

Almost always, if a film doesn't offer pre-screenings, it sucks. Super Hero Movie Sucks. Everything (movewise) Tyler Perry does sucks. Shutter sucked. And I will assure you, "The Ruins" sucks. Out Loud.



(I meant to clarify. If a movie does not have a review until after it has been released, it means they didn't offer critics what is called a pre-screening. I can't think of a *good* movie in the last 10 years that hasn't allowed critics to see it before hand.)
