    I only read film reviews after I’ve already seen the movie. I like to go into a movie with as few preconceptions as possible, but I also like to hear others’ takes on it afterwards to see what I missed or misinterpreted.

      Same. I rarely look to critics to decide whether to see a movie, I go see whatever movies I’m interested in. I like listening to YouTube videos discussing things I’ve already seen and I can leave a comment if I disagree with something they say or have something to add. However, I tend to avoid reviews for things I really like because I don’t want to hear negativity. For example, I really like the recent live action Snow White and I think listening to negative reviews will bring me down, so I avoid them. It’s when I have mixed feelings about a film, like Disenchanted, it’s fun to listen to people talk about
