    I don’t know about game critics, but movie critics have (usually) studied film on an academic level, and watched a whole fuck ton of movies for the purpose of breaking them down and analyzing them. They’re not watching and/or thinking about movies like most people. Of course they will judge them differently.

      Yeah. I basically focusing on nitpicky professional details and missing the “is this movie entertaining/fun” part.

        You can differentiate between if a film is “objectively” good and subjectively enjoyable to yourself.
