My research paper will be attempting to answer a question that has been bugging me for a good while now ever since I saw the movie “The Greatest Showman.” Why do audiences and critics seem to have such differing opinions on modern movie titles? I believe that it’s because of a self-created barrier between the two in regards to the expectations. These expectations being about different aspects of making a movie, the directing, shots, lighting, script writing, hired cast, and advertisability. I will be looking through various movie reviews over the past decade of movies, looking at where audiences and critics agree, disagree, and to what degree of agreeability they seem to have. I’ll be looking at movie review websites, Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB, to gather large samples of reviews, review scores, and to ensure I don’t have the bias from one singular website clouding the paper. I’ll be using “The Numbers” website to get a fair list of movies to look at for relevant years in regards to the top grossing films. As those to me feel as though they’d be fair comparisons through the years.

This paper will be about the differing rating criteria between critics and audiences. I believe that critics care more about the perceived “depth” of a film and its message when giving their ratings, while Audiences will give more points towards a film that seeks to entertain, looking more to enjoy themselves than seek a deeper philosophical meaning.
