And this is why I only really care what critics think. Maybe that makes me pretentious or a movie snob, but fuck it. I like paying attention and analyzing movies (along with books, music, video games, etc.), and IMO, the average viewer can't handle being asked to think about anything with more depth than a bird bath. On the other hand, 90% of the people that are paid to put a little critical thought into their media consumption reviewed The Northman positively, and I agree with them. It was fucking great, and I don't care what the unwashed masses think.

When critics and audiences agree, I generally know I'm in for an enjoyable experience, but probably nothing too great. But when critics love it and audiences don't, I get excited.
