Chances are, the less you see movies not based on a franchise product, the better your chances of hearing a review that's based on the movie itself, and not a reviewer's interpretation and expectations being ruined by someone else's adaptation.
To those that can watch movies based on a comic/game/cartoon separate from their love for said medium prior to its theater form, cool deal. The rest of you, do what makes you happy, but there's a fine line between justified complaints and pretentious soapboxing, and knowing the difference can make for an opinion worth respecting.
