Re:Are film critics losing sync with audiences? by bluehorseray on Tuesday April 12, 2022 @01:22PM (#31005625)
Calling that the "correct conclusion" is absurd. Whether or not a critic "wanted" to see a movie shouldn't really factor into the review at all. At the end of the day, the typical movie-goer is probably judging a film based off of an entirely different set of criteria (excitement / satisfaction) than a typical movie critic (overall artistic merit). Which isn't an exciting conclusion, but probably more correct.

I would personally rate many movies I've seen lower if you told me to judge it from the perspective of a movie critic as opposed to a general audience member (The Purge for example).
