It is unfair.

Whether it is effectual or not, I wish to assert this. Once a vessel is fully filled with sewer water, It can't hold anything further, even pure water.

I witness many guys and gals get reviews from media and people, before watching a movie. Once a guy gets a view about the film, his mind will be completely filled by that thought. With that prejudiced thought, if he watches the movie, his mind will exact for incidents which corroborate his thought which has evolved from the review.


On the other hand, consider an ardent fan of that hero watches the movie. Now, his mind tries to search for incidents in the movie which may rationalize his zeal towards that actor. Ultimately, He will surely feel that movie is fine.


Review, in general, is relative. Reviewer is not a jurist and his perspective is not the judgment. All of us are jurist in our own terms. No one can categorically brand a movie as good or bad. In this world, nothing is right and nothing is wrong. Inasmuch as nothing is good and nothing is bad. Everything is in our perspective.


A true movie reviewer should never have a prejudiced opinion about the movie/ artist. He will not say “ I won't watch this junk guy's movie...“ - If he says, He should not comment on movies. It is as simple as any junk guy can comment on any movie.

You seem to have hit the nail on the head. I'm one of those nails. Will keep this in mind next time I write something.

i quite agree with you. and btw you don't have to use all the bombastic language that you've learnt from the Barrons. why don't you stick to some basic vocab that everyone can understand. you don't want ppl to have a dictionary in hand to read your blogs, do you?

romba nalla sonnada..yes a reviewer should do his job such a way that it helps the creator to understand his mistakes rather than provoking him..maybe i have to start saying i like it or i dont like it instead saying its excellent or its horrible..

hmm.. can understand your feelings.. seems too much philosophical.. :o) but good..
its everyone's right to express... the way they express may differ.. Though It's not addressed to you.. It's up to you to take it or ignore it.. Sewer water is flowing everywhere.. you must decide, whether you want to keep your bucket open or inverted.
