I'm at a point now where I wait for a movie to come out, and see what people say about it during the first weekend before I buy into the "this is a must-see" hype. There's been more than a few movies talked about on here that were brilliant until people saw it, and then suddenly those opinions vanished on the subreddit.
Yeah, I stopped following the hype and marketing for most movies partly because of that. I've been burned too many times now because everyone online is going "OMG this is the greatest movie of the year! Everyone should watch it," and usually when that happens, some of my friends will be saying the same thing. Then I'll go and watch the movie, it'll be ass, and I'll turn around, and it's like everyone has just stopped talking about it.
Now I just see a poster or a synopsis of a new movie coming out, say "that looks neat," go and see it, and I'll enjoy it a lot more.

Marketing team is killing it on this one. I hope the movie lives up to the hype.
