How was the writing? How was the pacing? How was the cinematography? How were the characterizations? Did the actors act well? Did they bring a sense of realism to their roles, or did they just go through the motions? Was the plot coherent, or were there enormous holes?
That's why I watch classics. Back before you could rely on "special effects". Where you have to rely on the acting, the writing and the directing.
Before I see a movie I usually check with Roger Ebert. He is the most fair on the most part then any other critic. Just check yahoo movies critic reviews. I think he gave the least biased review of "the Passion" I have ever seen and gave it four stars for what it deserved four stars for.
