About us or should I say about me?
You were curious enough to click on the “About Us” button in the menu, so let me tell you who I am. I’m just a guy who loves the cinematic arts. I’m not a professional critic—I’m just like you. I watch movies when they come out, usually in the cinema. I watch series on all the major streaming platforms. And yes, I form very strong opinions about them. My opinions aren’t based on lighting, representation, or technical breakdowns. They’re based on storytelling and on how these movies and shows make me feel. Of course, I have my preferences—don’t we all? I loved Game of Thrones, but I couldn’t care for House of the Dragon after the time skips replaced characters just when you finally started connecting with them. A lot of people are calling A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms perfect simply because it’s accurate to the source material. Even the professional critics are celebrating the show. I say the show is garbage—and if it truly follows the source material, then the source material is garbage too. Yes, I’m rambling, but maybe you’re getting a picture of how I form my opinions. I don’t hop on the bandwagon for no reason. I always form my own perspective, and that is exactly the purpose of this website. Instead of repeating what everyone else is saying, I’ll share my own views and hopefully help people who are unsure whether a show or movie matches their taste. Hence the name WatcherReviews. Nothing on this page will be influenced by trailers, someone else’s opinion, or whatever trend says you should like. Every article on this website is written by someone who actually took the time to watch what they’re reviewing. My opinions will be based purely on my own experience. This website is my passion project. I watch a lot of shows and go to the cinema almost every week, so most reviews will cover movies released within the past two weeks. I also have older films I still want to watch—and if I feel like writing about them, I will. For now, this is just a website run by one IT guy who needed a passion project while dealing with a career that’s stalling. Employers only want people who have already climbed the career ladder, while employees who finally want to move on from the service desk are struggling to use what they learned and get paid according to the degree they worked for. The goal of this website, however, is to build a community of movie and TV-show fanatics who don’t care about the “correct” public opinion. It’s time we form our own opinions again. Hopefully this website will one day reach enough daily— or at least monthly—visitors to grow into an interactive platform.
