If you are a movie fan, then you've probably noticed that the price of movie tickets have been skyrocketing in the past few years, so it's more important than ever to figure out how to get the most for your money. It can be extremely disappointing to spend $10 or more on a movie ticket and then leave the theater thinking, "That the movie was terrible!" You've wasted your money and time; you feel cheated. Luckily, there are still a few ways to find great movies that are worth viewing.
There are many movie review sites that allow people who have already seen the movie to weigh in with their opinions. Some of these sites are better than others, and they all have different rating systems; some sites have a scale from 1 to 10, while others have more of a thumbs-up and thumbs-down method. Some sites allow users to write full-length reviews, but if you don't like to read spoilers before you see a movie, then you should avoid these sites. Of course, you can also find movie reviews in your local newspaper, but those reviews can be biased since they only reflect the views of a single person.
Another great method for finding and viewing the best movies is to ask a few friends for their opinions. In order for this method to work reliably, avoid seeing movies on the opening weekend. Instead, let all your friends see it first, and then you can talk to them to see how much they liked or disliked it. If you're enthusiastic about seeing the movie, then it may be annoying to have to wait until the second week before you see it, but at least you'll always know that you'll see something good and aren't wasting your time and money.
