    Silent Hill: Critics Versus Fanboys

    shpan.jpg

    We posted this weekend about the opening weekend box office success of Silent Hill despite the critical panning the film received. What I find even more interesting though is the wide discrepency between fan reviews of the movie and critic reviews of it.

    The New York Times gave the movie a 10 out of a 100 and the San Francisco Chronicle gave it a bit fat zero, but according to sites like Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes, fans seemed to like it.

    Metacritic
    Critics: 29 percent
    Users: 88 percent

    Rotten Tomatoes:
    Critics: 29 percent
    Users: 75 percent

    So is this a case of fanboyism or critics not getting it?
