THis is my personal vendetta against a lot of so-called film crtics
I so agree that a 3 rd rate movie ought to be called 3rd rate if it is dumb but I never understood what is with these pretentious writers with their strange characteristics.
Who gives them the ability to write such JUVENILE articles about movies I have no idea! Dont ask me from where this talk cropped up! SOme of these articles go beyond what they are supposed to do-talk about the movie and delve into personalities of teh actors and actresses.
I distinctly remember one reviewer of rediff who will praise any SRK movie sky high but will find the strangest of reasons to look down on certain actors!(I AM AN SRK FAN but still the reviewer always went over the top that it bordered on ridiculousness!)
The funniest part of the articles sometimes are the factors where the writer tries to SOund BRILLIANT and starts putting down people who have so much experience in teh field they are in!
Yea and the uh-so often reference to the artifical song and dance routines! DUDE THIS IS bollywood and this is how we DO IT! If the reviewers still wanna complain about the differences and the low standards ofIndian movies to the Awesoemsauce movies of the west, they are again losing the whole point!
NEVER GO BY A CRITIC'S opinion of a movie! We have enough brains to decide whether we like it! I would prefer to read about the plot and decide for myself whether I like a movie or not than think about what another dude THINKS about it!
Let me go to my favourite dictionary on how it defines "critics"(UrbanDictionary)

"
A critic is a low-life creature that lacks any talent or ability to contribute anything, yet chooses to verbally attack and put down the works of others. Through usage of long words and general pretenciousness, they pretend to show intelligence and also to appear human like the rest of us, hiding their true parasite form. Everyone has, and is entitled to, an opinion, but a critic makes it their businness to state their opinion to everyone through the media or press, and to state their opinion as fact. If your a musician, film-maker, artist, writer etc, and you see a professional critic writing a review about you, do the right thing and kill them where they stand. If you want to know if a film or band etc is any good, don't read the reviews, ask a friend what they think.
Stephen Fry on Art Critics:- "Imagine, you get to Heaven and St Peter asks what you did with your life and you say, 'Oh I just said what other people did wrong!'"
