My wife and I typically rate a movie on a scale of 1-10 when we leave the theater. I gave Max a 9 and she gave it a 10. Meanwhile, the movie review website, Rotten Tomatoes, has shown me that these so-called movie critics think they are too sophisticated for the average movie goer. They will highly rate films that I think are terrible (i.e. Birdman 92%), while a fun, heartwarming film like Max was only given 39%. If they give a movie a low review rating, I know more often than not, it's a movie I'll want to see, while the reverse is also usually true.
