Improved Essays

On the other hand, many other people believe that the movie theaters are actually disgusting, chaotic, and irrelevant. These people believe that staying in the comfort of their own home to watch a movie is much better than to travel all the way to a movie theater.

Third of all, many movies are either amazing, alright, or downright awful. If somebody goes and sees a movie and decides it was an awful movie, then he or she can decide on if they think they wasted their own money and, therefore, that the movies were extremely expensive. If they thought the movie was awesome, they most likely thought that they spent their money
