Oi! :)

I try to have no expectations of a movie that I don't know anything (or much)
about; I often enjoy such movies more than any other precisely for that reason.
In such cases, I'll try to classify it by genre only afterwards.

For your second point, naturally you're entitled to enjoy any movie any way you
see fit :)

In many cases, however, I can see what's coming from the publicity. Where
overly-hyped cinema is concerned, I am rarely wrong about what is coming. I knew
exactly what I was getting with, say, Transformers (and was not disappointed!).
I knew exactly what was coming with, say, Ghost Rider (and was accordingly
disappointed).

We don't all watch movies in the same way. If we did, there would be no
controversy over what constitutes a 'good' movie or a 'bad' movie.
