There is usually a wide difference large enough to build a Walmart Supercenter between what the so-called critics like and popular opinion. The most egregious example was in 1977 when Dennis Cunningham, movie critic for WCBS-NY rated "The Turning Point" with Mikhail Baryshnikov as a "10" and Star Wars as a "-1". I think history has spoken, and George Lucas is happier with his bank account than the producer of "The Turning Point"
