Early reviews for THE WOLFMAN are filtering in and before we tell you whether their positive or negative, we will give you the option to not read any further. We understand that some are put off by even knowing which way the pendulum is swinging, trust us we understand. We will officially have our review up tomorrow evening until then we are asking what kind of effect early reviews from film critics have on you personally?...

Follow up:

Ok we are assuming that if you've read this far you don't mind hearing the early news. The reviews that are coming out by reputable critics (you know who you are) are not very good. Ok they stink. Rotten Tomatoes has their meter running at a pungent smelling 29% at present time. The reviews from other credited sites have not been much better, saying that the film just can't seem to find it's identity.

We aren't going to go into depth on what was said. If you want to find out you can check out any reviews that you can find. That's not the question we have. Our question is whether or not they matter? Do early critics matter or do you listen to word of mouth more than Roger Ebert? Obviously we know most people enjoy actually seeing the film first before mustering a decision but doubt does tend to creep into ones mind when nothing but negative remarks are being heard.

Do you try to avoid the reviews? Do you take them with a grain of salt? Or do you listen to what they say and actually not go see the movie because of it? We'd love to hear what your approach usually is.
