Ever been to a Bollywood movie and realised, "Why did that guy at work enjoy it so much and I just hated it?" Well that is what happens so much nowadays to me and got me thinking why would that happen? Many reasons really. There are so many movies nowadays that are a rip off of Hollywood movies and finding it out 15 minutes into the movie is not really an experience you would enjoy if you are a movie fanatic. So it is a good idea to just browse top 3-4 reviews to see if that is the case.
What sometimes also irks an avid movie goer is how big movies get big publicity and better reviews only to find out it was just another publicity stunt, so I would take those reviews with a grain of salt sometimes. That also gives a greater reason to consult more than one review. If the reviews are too good to be true and you get conflicting reviews, maybe watch a trailer and decide. Consider the case with My Name is Khan. What a publicity for a movie with so many big names! Probably that is what helped it make some money. Personally I think it was not all that great it was meant to be (not worth 5 stars that one of the sites gave it). Probably it was worth 3 stars which "nowrunning" website decided to award.
Well after all said and done probably the movie you hear so much about is just not your type of movie and how best to find out by getting multiple reviews.
So next time avoid the disappointment and just glance through multiple reviews.
