No if I find the trailers interesting then yes will go and watch a movie. I go for story and content the actors don't really matter to me.

I do take critics opinions quite seriously while watching a movie in a theatre. Ticket prices are so high now a days, that I can't watch each and every movie at a multiplex, and then cry that my money went waste. Trailers are more than often misleading. A bad movie also looks good from the trailer, if it's well-edited. So it's better to rely on critics, who have atleast watched the whole movie, and can give a proper explanation on what they liked and disliked in the movie.
Yeah, I know critics can be biased towards certain actors and genres. But then audience too is biased towards certain stars and genres. Awards too are biased. There is nothing called neutral in this world.

Though there are people who easily get influenced by critics while watching a movie, and fail to pass a clear judgement. That's not right. I'll say it's fine to read reviews, but your judgement should always be your own and not anyone else.

I don't listen to 2rs critics who are biased like those duffers on Rediff.com. I've got a brain so I will know if a movie good or bad when watching it.

No, I go by trailer, director, and those actor/actress that I like
Only trust a few critics like Bharadwaj Rangan

Nope...
Some movies I would've already decided to watch them depending upon the director/actor/actress/story etc and those movies other than the trailer, I don't even watch any of the pre-release buzz...I love the thrill of watching a movie without any preconceived notions and other people reviews clouding my opinion...However, I do love reading other people's reviews after I watch the movie!

I don't like Masand and Anupama : they are clearly biased towards certain actors and I feel that their clear-cut opinion on actors cloud the way they review their movies.

I enjoy reading Raja sen, Anna vetticad and Shubra Gupta : I feel they are the most objective, they do a good job reviewing the movies without letting their bias interfere and their reviews are always entertaining .
