Movie Critic Quotes

What's happening to movie critics is no different from what has been meted out to book, dance, theater, and fine-arts reviewers and reporters in the cultural deforestation that has driven refugees into the diffuse clatter of the Internet and Twitter, where some adapt and thrive - such as Roger Ebert - while others disappear without a twinkle. James Wolcott
Guillermo Cabrera Infante quote: "I was never a true journalist, I was a movie critic."
I was never a true journalist, I was a movie critic. Guillermo Cabrera Infante
Robert De Niro quote: "Movies are hard work. The public doesn't see that. The critics..."
Movies are hard work. The public doesn't see that. The critics don't see it. But they're a lot of work. A lot of work. Robert De Niro
And I'm going to tell the truth: I didn't like that Sean Penn movie Into the Wild so much. Yes! I know it was critically acclaimed. I know it won all these awards! It's very sad that a boy is dead and all. But I thought the movie Enchanted, with the singing princess and the chipmunk and the people dancing in Central Park, was cuter. So there! Meg Cabot
I don't want to criticize any other designers, but I have to say that many of the people involved in this industry - directors and producers - are trying to make their games more like movies. They are longing to make movies rather than making videogames. Shigeru Miyamoto
Like some of my other movies, 'Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes' is also a very political film, and many critics still consider it even the best of all the Apes movies, because it conveys a series of political viewpoints. J. Lee Thompson
We don't make movies for critics. I've done four movies; there's millions upon millions upon millions of people who've paid to see them. Somebody likes them. My greatest joy is to sit anonymously in a dark theater and watch it with an audience, a paying audience. Michael Bay
I submit that the real reason we criticized and disliked Lynch's Laura's muddy bothness is that it required of us an empathetic confrontation with the exact same muddy bothness in ourselves and our intimates that makes the real world of moral selves so tense and uncomfortable, a bothness we go to the movies to get a couple hours' fucking relief from. David Foster Wallace
In the most basic terms it was about how when we experience art without critical awareness we consent to the ideas being promoted, either intentionally or unintentionally, by the filmmaker. For instance, if you watch a racist comedian and laugh at his jokes, you are consenting to the prejudices inherent within them. Similarly, if you watch a movie which perpetuates conventional ideas about race, gender, etc., you are consenting to them and not affecting change in any way. Simon Pegg
We have gotten some terrible reviews at times but if we depended on the judgment of the studios or critics, we never would have made more than one movie. Ismail Merchant
I hope that they enjoy the movie. Don't be critical. Don't expect to get the same feelings you got when you watched the series when you were 10 years old. Let your kids see it and experience it on their own. Mark Goddard
Gina Gershon quote: "I learned a lot about critics, not to really take them too..."
I learned a lot about critics, not to really take them too seriously about movies. Gina Gershon
John Frankenheimer quote: "The first assistant director is just so important that the..."
The first assistant director is just so important that the choice of that person is critical to the movie. John Frankenheimer
It doesn't matter if a critic pans or praises my movies, I am only concerned about that one audience member and what their experience is. Heather Matarazzo
Walter Hill quote: "I mean no film is beyond criticism, but I think we've made a..."
I mean no film is beyond criticism, but I think we've made a very modest movie. Walter Hill
