Is it best to read/watch movie reviews before you go into the cinema, or do you prefer to have an open mind?

But as far as what their review says influencing my opinion of the movie, no I make up my own mind and my own evaluations and reviews of each movie I see. Reviews are only a subjective appraisal of a movie.They are not the ultimate and final word. My personal appraisal has more validity to me than a review done by someone else.Their opinion interests me but I decide based on my own reactions whether I like it or not or what features appealed to me or turned me away from any given movie.
Someone cannot make me like a movie that I do not or make me hate one that I like. I do not always agree with the critics, pro or con. In fact there have been movies I love that were panned by the critics and some they praised to the skies that I found to be a waste of perfectly good film. I take what they say opinion wise with a grain of salt and flavour it with my own tastes.
If I go to a movie, I go with an open mind, review or no review.
It is no different than critics of art or music. You like what you like for your own reasons.It is personal taste.

After the movie, though, you can bet I'm going to hit up the review sites. It's almost an obsession for me. After I've consumed a piece of media, I like to seek out other people writing about it, so I can think about it more and develop my opinions further. It deepens my enjoyment when I can think about movies in a different way. And "different" is the key -- usually, if I liked a movie, I'll purposefully look for negative reviews just to get that other perspective.

They hate movies like Animal House and Paranormal Activity. Basically what I'm saying is that they always have a way of downplaying the "fun" movies and give them awful reviews. I like to go into a movie with a clean slate and see for myself what I like. I don't need someone else to dictate what's "good" to me!

It's better not to have high expectations on some things so that you wouldn't get disappointed when you didn't get what you're expecting. This is the reason why it's still nice to read reviews.
I don't really read critics reviews that much. I just go for the ordinary viewers because sometimes, these critics have unpredictably high standards which becomes a little exaggerated most of the time. But with ordinary peoples reviews, I could relate more.
What I just don't read are spoilers. Of course I wouldn't be enjoying the movie that much if I'll read spoilers.
