Yeah, rottentomatoes or Ebert & Roeper usually suffice for movies. For games, I usually go to 1up because I like their reviews and the fact that they take the average of 3rd party reviews.

I also once read a review on GameFAQs on Super Smash Bros. Melee, which gave it a 4/10. I nearly threw my computer out the window. Anybody that dislikes that game should be thrown into a lake tied to a cement block.
The User Reviews section at Yahoo!Movies is great. Just search the highest or lowest ratings to see either unmitigated squeeing, or inept ranting.
'Controversial' movies, like Dogma or The Two Towers, are prime comedy mines at that place.
Reviews often annoy me at Gamefaqs, but only the ones with low ratings, as they tend to always be incredbily silly or blatant lies.
One guy gave Shadow of the Collossus a low rationg, and flamed almost everything about the game. That REALLY annoyed me. Anyone who thinks that game is lame and unoriginal is blatantly lying, or just plain stupid
User Reviews suffer from being all opinion and no professional outlook...I mean, I love Xenosaga but I wouldn't slap them both with a 10/10 just because it tickles my fancy... They are just so exaggerative it makes me laugh. It's all 1/10 and 10/10. Gooood times.

And you always end up loving the product they hate. Isnt life funny?Quote:
I never listen to reviewers, because more often than not I find myself disagreeing with them.
sometimes funny, sometimes sad...sometimes unpredictable...
