ADULTS spend more time choosing a film than they do prepping for a date, choosing a holiday, and preparing for a job interview.<\/p>\n

A poll of 2,000 movie enthusiasts found 78% will spend up to an hour reading reviews and 74% will take up to the same amount of time watching trailers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In comparison, only 35% spend the same amount of time preparing for a date while just 39% will take this long deciding their next holiday.<\/p>\n

And as few as 36% will spend up to 60 minutes getting ready for a job interview.<\/p>\n

Key elements they consider when doing the research include the storyline, the length of the movie and who the cast consists of.<\/p>\n

Sophia Ahmad, chief consumer officer at Sky UK and Republic of Ireland, which commissioned the research to mark its free monthly ticket offering in partnership with Vue, said: \u201cWe know how much our customers love those goose bump moments when watching a film they\u2019ve been waiting for, and we know choosing one can involve serious research.<\/p>\n

Londoners take the longest to ponder over a film choice at 37 minutes, with 33% admitting they\u2019ve even snubbed friends for their taste in movies.<\/p>\n

But when it comes to the Scots, 18% don\u2019t ever look at reviews before pressing play on a film.<\/p>\n

Those aged 25-34 spend the most time reading write ups (10 minutes) and watching trailers (nine minutes) \u2013 and are even the most likely to row with a partner about what to watch compared to other generations (14%).<\/p>\n

While the over 60s take the least time to prepare as they will only spend six minutes reading up on film reviews before making their choice.<\/p>\n

Nearly six in 10 (59%) said the professional opinion of a film critic motivates them to watch something they wouldn\u2019t have considered otherwise.<\/p>\n

But it was also revealed 47% would trust the opinion of their partner more than they would a critic when it comes to movies.<\/p>\n

Despite this, 58% have been left disappointed after watching a film that was given a five-star review by critics.<\/p>\n

For 17%, a bad meal would be less disappointing than a critically acclaimed film that didn\u2019t meet expectations.<\/p>\n

While 9% reckon they would get over their favourite sports team losing quicker than they would having sat through a bad film that had received a lot of hype.<\/p>\n

And nearly one in 10 (9%) would spend less time feeling disappointed if they had a serious holiday mishap.<\/p>\n

It also emerged 22% have previously been put off seeing a film they were excited about because of a bad review.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, 63% have watched something before that was rated poorly by critics – but had been pleasantly surprised.<\/p>\n

The study, conducted via OnePoll.com, also revealed comedies, science-fiction and rom-coms are the genres those polled think critics are the harshest towards.<\/p>\n
