    It’s all subjective. The only way a critic can be helpful is if you become accustomed to their tastes and how they communicate them. It’s why Rotten Tomatoes CAN be a helpful tool but is so misunderstood as to be useless.

    If a movie gets 10% on RT, but you’re in the 10% that fucking love that thing then that score means nothing.

      I wish I could use my Trakt account to find an avid critic similar to my tastes. That’d be cool…

      Because, yeah, critics usually suck. They will tell you a movie is great, and the vibe can be so shitty sometimes. Like, ruin your whole night levels of depressing or pretentious.
