A must read if you like to get other people's opinions before deciding on what book, movie, game or music to sit down with.

Most of us must have gone to movies, read books or read reviews in sites that don't live upto our expectations. Well, critical opinion is of course entirely subjective. One man's Oscar winner is another man's turkey, and at metacritic.com you get to read a whole range of opinions from a wide selection of critics, thus eliminating the chances of you being led astray by one review.

The concept is really simple, and this makes it super-easy to find what you need. Just choose if you want to look at Films, DVDs, Music or whatever from the list on the opening page, then pick the title you want to read about from the panel on the left, which can be sorted alphabetically or by score.

A short synopsis and an average overall score is stated at the top, then the opening comment and score from dozens of independent reviewers are listed below - just click the links if you want to read the full review.
