Should we trust the film critics? Do bad reviews put you off?

ON THE PHONE-IN
Anticipated movies Cats and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker have received their world premieres and early reactions have been delivered.  Despite the all-star cast, which includes Dame Judi Dench, many critics have been pretty scathing of Cats.....'the worst thing to happen to cats since dogs' and 'a purr-fectly dreadful hairball of woe' being two of the more brutal reviews. Star Wars has fared slightly better but has still been dubbed 'The Worst Star Wars Movie Ever' by one critic whilst another said ' “It may not be the closure this epic, now 42 years in the making, deserves.”
