Yes his REASONABLE EXPECTATION for the movie Robin Hood was that it would be of great quality, because of previous experience with the work of both Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe.
Reasonable expectation is not necessarily derived from commercialization. It can be derived from previous experience with the filmmakers/stars (as in DR's situation with Robin Hood) and/or previous knowledge of the subject matter.
You also seem to fail to understand that for many people, the quality of a movie and their opinion of it are two seperate entities and that a person's overall enjoyment of a movie will often factor more heavily into a rating than things like cinematography, plot, character development, etc.
Looking at previous work by the cast a crew is a good point and doesn't have anything to do with commercialisation, its the exception though, not the rule. Unless your going to compare two films by looking at the backlog of credits on each films director and star, decide how good you think the film is going to be ....... and then rate the film even worse if it fails to meet those expectation (How F88king stupid)..... I've said all this before, your not reading atoll are you?
Once again, how does his failed expectations affect the quality of the film? It doesn't!!!!!. I'm actually running out of steam with this argument. I've argued a logical and obviously correct point, people are to thick to retain. Its not a case of you saying, "ok, but I still fell that", your just ignoring what I'm saying and repeating the same rubbish thats already been said. You're boring.
I'm failing to understand that

Can I ask where the hell I fail to understand what you've just said.
Ironically my point at the the start of the "how do you compare movies' thread was

Storyline, certainly, but if I'm comparing My sisters keeper with Terminator 4: Salvation. It gets kind of ridiculous.
I compare movies on, personal enjoyment factor I suppose. Its like if you list any two movies I can tell you which I like/enjoyed more in a heart beat. When you start asking why, I suppose it can become more difficult.
I understand what you just said, you fail to understand that has nothing to do with what anyones saying. Where talking about the exclusion of one variable when comparing films, and thats expectation.
Also its childish to go back and edit your posts once I've responded to them, its obvious my response in then incorrect. Try and say what you have to say the first time.
I wish the kids would kids would piss off back to 'TPAM thread'
