It never (stops-ends-finishes-ceases) to amaze me how many films are (considered-panned) by the critics as a load of rubbish.

The normal expression is, 'it never ceases to amaze me'.
If the film is panned, 'as a load of rubbish' is redundant.

so I could say: it's considered by critics as a load of rubbish OR SIMPLY it's panned by critics....

It never ceases to amaze me what some people will do for money.

Why will do, not "do"?
