I want to be taken out of my reality. I want to see things that I wouldn't see in my day-to-day life. I want an adventure - be it comedic, tragic, thrilling, scary or just plain fun.
Give me spectacle and spleandor... just make me care.
There is nothing more pointless than a huge set-piece invovling characters that I couldn't give two shits about. Make me care, make me feel and I'll love you for it.
I'm an easy critic. I want to love everything I see. I want films to be good, so I tend to overlook flaws in plot or logic as long as the characters feel real, the pacing works and the film doesn't violate it's own rules
Pacing really is one of the most important elements. When it's perfect you don't even notice it. When it's off the whole film suffers.
Give me a good film, please! Thrill me!
