The problem I have is with the ending... they gave the government's story about how Bin Laden had a gun, etc... when the marines who killed him said he was in his underwear when he poked his head out of his bedroom door... and they shot him, unarmed. While I have no problem with that, I do have a problem with them changing it for the film.

Also a few other critics called it THE BEST movie of the year and both top critics who write for Entertainment Weekly gave ZDT an A. AND it won all the awards so far. It WILL win the Oscar.

Ann Hornaday at the Washington Post named it her #1 movie of the year, as did the Boston Film Critics and the National Review Board. Crazy. After reading all three books, I was just hoping for the movie to be "good."

Why do people care so much about reviews, can't you make a judgement for yourselves

Nope! Why make your own opinions when others can do it for you?

People use advance reviews to help them decide to see a movie if they aren't really anticipating it. If you are, however, reviews shouldn't matter. Even if the reviews were poor, I've been looking forward to this, so I'd see it anyway. The only time I care about reviews is if I'm on the edge about seeing something.

I will make decisions for myself, why I care about reviews is it tells me what to expect, and at times there may be a movie I originally wanted to see, and then I see absolutely terrible reviews for it and I decide its not worth it.

Reviews won't decide if I like a movie or not. But they do decide my expectation for it and if I even go see it or not.

they're guidelines, man. these things aren't set in stone. they just help us get a feel for what a movie will be like.
