Joy (Quick Movie Review) - "Adversaries in commerce"

So I did what i normally do before going out to watch any movie. I did my own little research which consisted of watching various trailers of a movie then going on to check its reviews on imdb or rotten tomatoes. I've known for a long time now that me and the guys at rotten tomatoes dont see eye to eye so I've long sort of dismissed their opinion on movie quality though I still briefly consult their website.

So I did all of this with the movie joy...everything about the trailer told me its the kind of movie that I'd like but even imdb had really low scores for it so I was really confused as to go watch it. Long story short, I trusted my gut feeling and decided to go watch the movie yesterday afternoon (relative to the time of publishing this). It was 13.13 when i booked for screening at 15 00 at Vue Cinema Leicester square here in London. This is where new movies are premiered so the ticket prices are a bit exorbitant but whatever, I felt there was no better place to be in London at that moment than Leicester square.

Guess what, I trusted myself and it paid off! The movie was freaking beautiful!!! I loved loved loved loved it, oh my gosh. It was me and like a couple of other people in this cavernous cinema (thank you imdb), we definitely numbered less than 15 so we where huddled up around the center seats. That had to be one of the best movie experiences I've ever had. That kind where you have to put aside your pop corn now and then because you just have to concentrate on whats happening...the whole movie was just so captivating. And Jennifer Lawrence!!! My goodness that lady was just fabulous. She had this air around her that sucked you into her life's story. The strength she demonstrated as a woman filled me with all these nostalgic feelings...indescribable really. And oh gosh the music just played with your heart and mind like a piano (sorry Nicki). I went there alone, sat there with a big bucket of popcorn and a tub of coke and let the movie carry me to another place altogether.

So no thank you imdb and rotten tomatoes, I respect you and appreciate your role in society, but there's a niche part of society that you may be failing to cater for, which is completely understandable because any such review of anything is really just a benchmark or threshold kind of calibration of what the average demographic may fancy as entertaining, overlooking of course some very specially niche demographics :)
