You can easily watch movies with a keen eye for details that yo mentioned, and still enjoy them. Although I do agree with you on the bit about trailers...I'm beginning to hate/love them... But getting back...most people don't (or at lease I don't) go into movies LOOKING for plot holes/lack of character development...it's just that if it is there...it tends to irk certain people to the point where they simply need to bash it. (I happen to be one of those people.) And as far as Cinematography goes...you don't really need to watch for that, sometimes, if it's done right...some shots just stand out when they need to, or look oh so natural. Maybe just a bit cynical…

Seriously how can you go to a movie looking for plot holes, lack of character development etc. etc. etc? One reviewer didn’t like the furniture in one particular film. I never watch the trailers and I don’t read the reviews until after I have seen a movie. Just spoils the fun. If you watch al of the trailers you have seen all the good parts ( out of order and context ) and if you read the reviews you know the story ( sorry plot, theme, subplot(s) ). Cinematography, Art direction, Set decorations, good grief if I had to watch for all of this stuff I’d hate all the movies I went to too. Wait ... am I being critical? ;-) No one goes to the movies for fun anymore, and it’s the critics fault.
