Critical Woman
Today I overheard a woman complaining about movie critics and how she doesn't read them because a couple of times she found a movie delightful and the critic said it was not.
So!
News flash, movie critics offer opinions. Every person out there is not going to agree with a critic. What differentiates a movie critic from your average person is their deeper understanding of the industry. They should be able to express why they liked it or did not like it. They guide. That guidance is important to a lot of people because it helps them decide if they want to pay $10 on a movie. Personally I rather turn to a critic for guidance than rely on the movie studio's marketing.
