What makes a movie worth watching?
Movies that pull crowds do not appeal to critics. Have we ever wondered why is there a discrepancy between the choice of the critics and the public? The same movie that entertains the masses is disdained by the critics? Why? What do the critics expect out of a movie? What do they look for? What actually makes a movie worth watching, according to critics? A regular movie goer does not think like a critic and is not expected to do so. He or she only goes to enjoy what it is presented to him or her. If the movie appeals to the movie goer then of course it is a hit, little do they want to watch a movie like a professional critic and ruin the fun. However, critics on the other hand view the movie through different angles and perspectives. What impact, a movie has on a regular viewer does matter to them but not so much as the technical aspect of the film.
So, how does it determine whether a movie is worth watching or not? It does because, for a movie to do well in reality, requires the appreciation of both the viewers as well as the critics. It will also help us to become better at assessing the worth of a movie and would help us to enjoy it for the right reasons. Awareness is bliss in this case and if you feel that a movie is worth watching on all levels and not just pleasure then well you can be sure of some good quality fun!
