I generally ignore "critics" opinions. I'll wait to see how it is received by real people.

Yup, wait for someone's opinion who has bought tickets to watch the film rather than the opinion of someone who is being paid to watch it.

I take no notice of AICN. Although the IMdB user comments don't look too good either: http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0467197/usercomments
Usually there's a range stars awarded but they're all are around 6-7.

Hyperbolic vitriol or obeisant toadying is what most of them vacillate between. I'll watch it and make my own mind up.

I'm re-reading a lot of my philosophy books/journals not that I've finished snow crash (great book, abrupt ending). They have a tendency to make me become overly verbose and prolix.

I'll still sweep this, probably unlikely to go and see it/buy it though. not unless it's really good or bad.

:above: Gamespot probably proved the validity of this point.

(Don't get me wrong, Gerstmann is a real person, merely biased to keep his job.)
