mrs Leo dragged me off to see it a few weeks ago - I did not think it was great but some bits were fun - I liked singing along with the songs though

Well finally got round to seeing it (yes yes I know I said I would see it in march - but we haven't had time until now  )
Any way I don't think I have ever been so disappointed with a film absolutely rubbish - dreadful singing voices too !!

Most film experts and common movie-goers agree that this film is very lacking in what it requires to become a truly-good film, and that it is under-par of what a movie truly should be.
So in short, movie specialists think this movie is stupid.
As do I :P
A corny movie for fans of corny movies that don't know when they are having crap shoveled into the pleasure-sensors of the brain.
Just messing with you guys - I don't judge people for the movies they watch.
But, I must say, I am surprised that it got this far.

The movie can't be that bad, after all it was top at the box office for ages and i havent heard hardly any negative feedback from experts

It's just a matter of taste I think - another film I hated with a passion was also popular (4 weddings and funeral). Would be awful if we all liked the same things we wouldn't have anything to talk about

General movie-goers go to see movies that seem interesting to them, when in reality those movies could be horrible in most people's eyes.
And film experts agree that Mama Mia was lacking in many fields, and was comparable to a failure such as HSM in movie-quality [not money-quantity]
And easy way to explain it is that the general public likes...well...corny movies. Such as mama mia - woman moves to europe, woman meets man, woman sings throughout movie, woman marries man. A basic plotline for at least a dozen movies.
Some of the best movies are the little-known ones, such as Southern Comfort and Colin.

I agree...the world would be such a boring place if everyone liked the same thing

I think the best critic is the person watching the film
I honestly don't take any notice of what film critics like / dislike because, as Katy has pointed out, everyone is different
One of the worst films I've ever seen is the latest remake of War of the Worlds yet other people rave about it! It's not my place to say they're right or wrong - we can given an opinion but we don't have to be rude or insulting or dismiss what the other person has to say.

MM...I didn't go much on the WOW remake either...I was really quite disapointed as I love the original Soundtrack and also quite like Tom Cruise  ...so though it would be really good..
