The director. I follow certain directors more than any actor. I only go by reviews if I'm iffy on seeing the movie.

I ignore critics because some will bash a good movie to be edgy and different for visibility. Most are looking for artistic/award winning movies where as I am looking to be entertained.
I side with the common folk reviews to determine if it is worth the price of admission or to wait until redbox.

Directors. Writers.
There a few actors whose movies I will always watch.

The subject of the movie 
ETA: So technically I guess, A and B...word of mouth is big for me as well.

A) The movie teaser(s)
Which I guess is kind of like a mini trailer, but it can show the general feel of the movie an what's it about
G) The name of the director behind the movie
The plays a big part also. Some directors I avoid like the plauge
C) What the critics are saying about the movie
If I'm still not sure I'll check to see what the critics are saying. While I don't put full faith in critic reviews, if something has below 30% positive I'll most likely wait till its out on Redbox or TV.
