How much do people still follow entertainment media reviews today?
I know there's occasionally some backlash to reviews that go against a broader positive reception to some media, but do that many people still follow reviews to decide what to check out?
Edit:
Adjusted title to specify "entertainment media"
Just movies? I haven't read a review in years. I know from the trailer if I want to see it or not. Maybe I'll stumble upon a video discussing something about it and become intrigued or turned away.
I do seek out reviews of video games because it is usually a significant cost and I want to make sure it's something I'll like. Both print and video.
I feel like I've whooshed something. I didn't know if they were including video games, TV shows, books, etc. or if they were restricting to movies since that use to be the default thing reviewed.
