I think critics suck.
There's alot to take into account when analyzing a film. What makes a film a good one? Action? Romance? Violence? Laughs?
When I analyze a film, I look at it from two views: filmmaking and entertainment.
I'm a Fictional Filmmaking Major at Grand Valley State, the leading film school in the state of Michigan. I know filmmaking, it's what I study everyday.
However, i also know what its like to be an audience member. There are horribly made films that, for some odd reason, are extremely enjoyable and generally considered 'good films'.
These two aspects are important when taking a film into consideration - because, why do people read movie reviews?
To see if it's worth seeing. That's what matters.
..and that is simply the question that I answer with every review, because that's what really matters. Is it worth seeing? Critics overlook this and focus on tearing films to pieces rather than worrying about you, the viewer, and whether or not the film is worth seeing.
I'll be up and reviewing soon,
until then, keep on watchin'.

Hmmmm... so you're saying it's ok that I really like Grease 2 and Sixteen Candles???
I like this.
...But the why the hell is your poll closed?
Grease 2..?
..borderline..
I hate critics
I have to say that one critic that I can't stand is Gene Shalit. On so many occasions he'll review a good movie and take every single negative part of it and show those parts instead of focusing on the positive points of it.
