10 Upcoming Films You'll See Even If The Reviews Are Terrible

No matter what the critics say, we're first in line for these movies.

It's an argument forced to the fore every time a mindless blockbuster reaps a bucket-load of cash - movie critics are woefully out of touch with what audiences really want. Now it is a little rich. The "leave your brain at the door" argument holds little water and really only serves to show how a good chunk of the film-going public have little objectivity. Nevertheless, the issue does raise a very good point; even if the critical body savages a film it does little to dent its box office potential. People tend to make their film-going choices long before release, letting notoriously manipulative marketing and the endorsement of friends influence their decision over anything else. The members of the audience who are more receptive to the ratings presented on the likes of RottenTomatoes are the more film-literate fans (us). We eye-up projects years in advance, but will steer clear of something if it's clearly a stinker; Green Lantern and Sucker Punch are just two examples of highly geek-friendly films that suffered at reviewer's hands. However, there are films that, no matter how bad people say they are, we'll see. Looking forward over the next couple of years, we've picked ten films that you'll be queuing to see no matter what other's say. They could be brilliant, or they could be sub-Batman And Robin abominations, but nothing will stop us seeing them opening night
