Should Blu-ray.com be reviewing movies or just tech aspects?

Should Blu-Ray.com be reviewing movies or just technical aspects? I for one couldn't care less what they think about any given film, I would prefer just to hear what they have to say about the quality of the transfer. Not sure I need another person's two cents on what I already appreciate or I wouldn't be looking to buy it to begin with. Just my opinion.

What he said.

I like the reviews for films I haven't heard of, as if they are reccommended and I like the subject I'll give it a rent or blind buy it if they are imports.

Without this site I'd miss out on movies like Red Cliff, North Face, Elite Squad, etc.

I like the reviews.

Ok that's cool. I was just wondering if others thought the same. If I ambuying a movie and unsure of what it is about I look at amazon reviews there are pretty legit average joe movie lovers on there. IMDB is just brutal so I wouldn't look at their reviews. Well glad some find it useful.

Oh and forgot to make a crucial point. I just didn't think it was fair to have their review included in the overall score of what the blu ray gets. If they hate the film then it takes the review way down. Well whatever, all trivial stuff.

You might not, but others may find it useful Keep in mind there are thousands of members on here, and a good many probably do enjoy reading the reviewer's thoughts, even if they disagree with them. It's always nice to get a different perspective. I for one think a professional movie reviewer's critique is especially interesting (over, say, just my friends, their parents, etc) since they are subjected to so many movies both good and bad; I'm sure the better ones really start to stick out....I pay extra attention to those films they give high praise

I don't usually always agree with the reviewers, but it's usually fun to read what they have to say.
I'll only read a review if I've seen the movie, because I have zero interest in someone else's perspective about a film until I've created my own.
Of course if the film rating is abyssmal, I'll generally try to figure out why.

There are also reviewers that I almost always disagree with, and others that I consistantly side with.

It's fun

While i dont usually read movie review neither, i dont find it wrong in any way, its always good to read other people opinion about a film, specially if the review comes from a person who has watched the flick several times to appreciate all it has to offer.
