I hear ya. If I see a film that has mixed reviews, that's one thing. But when a film is universally panned, more often than not I have the same experience myself. That's why I like the rotten tomatoes site....it looks at the big picture, both critical feedback and fan feedback. I'll watch just about anything at home, but when it comes to going to the theaters, I like to know I'm spending my money seeing something of quality.
