Do you check reviews before going out to see a movie?

Do you? I RARELY check reviews because I often find that I don't agree with them and therefore their opinions don't stop me from watching the movies I want or like to watch. But it some cases, it seems like reviewers hit the hammer on the nail - or whatever that cliche is. Doesn't it, though? Sometimes I wish I wouldn't have wasted $10 at the movie (plus popcorn, which is another $6) on a movie that ends up being really dumb, unoriginal, and pointless. *sigh*.



How do you feel about this? Do you make it a habit to check ratings and reviews before seeing a movie? Or do you just go see whatever you want, with little regard to reviewer's opinions?
