Some of the comments on another post about Blue Jasmine made me think about the number of times I've been disappointed by films or books that have received almost universal rave reviews from critics or that have even won awards.
In Guardian Weekend's letter page on 28 September, a reader wrote:
"In Emma Brocke's interview, Stephen King says, "I read The Hunger Games and didn't feel an urge to go on." Hang on: not 3ft away from me is a copy of said book with this endorsement: "'Constant suspense .... I couldn't stop reading' - Stephen King."
Has anyone else found a book or film absolutely awful and yet critical opinion has been overwhelmingly positive?
