This may sound a bit sentimental but the first en best critic is you. Only you can determine wheter you like something or not. So why do critics exist then? Do they have a use? Yes they do. Some critics will have good arguments other will have bad arguments. You are the critic of the critic who decides wheter you choose to go with the arguments. If an argument is wrong in your eyes you don't have to brainlessly bash the critic because of it. Try to give an rational argument against it to prove the fact he or she is wrong. The question is wheter its better to read reviews before or after a movie. I think the latter. A good exercise would be to watch the movie and write a review yourself. Then you can begin reading all the reviews on the net to compare it to yours. And you'll see that some people have good arguments that maybe will change your opinion. Others will be lousy and you'll be able to say HAHAHAHA you're totally wrong. No, you'll be able to fight these arguments with your own. So bottomline, alwas stay rational and dont go bashing someone if they dont share the same opinion.
