I have always found that people differ in their opinion about a movie. I even found various websites posting different reviews for the same movie. I tried to analyse the variant behaviour and to find out the cause for a movie being rated as successful. The first thing that comes to my mind is that people have different taste and liking. As far as the websites go, I am not so sure about the reviews they give as they are mostly inspired. Also the polls that are conducted are not conclusive as they cite the opinion of only a few people, plus the fact that a person can cast his vote more than once.
The mindset with which we go to watch a movie also plays an important role. The star cast and the expectations that we set from that star cast also have their influence on the movie rating. The sequels to movie generally do not get as much acclaim as its previous version, the only movie that I can recall is Munna Bhai where the second part was more successful than the first one. There might have been other movies but I could not recall, the point is that after the success of the first part, the expectations that we have from the subsequent parts automatically rises. So even if the movie is as good as its first version, the movie does not get the same praise as the first version had.
A movie being labelled as successful has many factors behind it and majorly depends on the mindset of the people watching it. So next time when you go to watch a movie, go with no expectations and try to judge the movie entirely on its merits and do not try to compare it with its sequel or any other movie on similar subject. Let us give the directors and the movie makers a fair chance to prove themselves.
