LOL: 5 Types Of Movie Critics You Want To Punch In The Face

When it comes to art, hundred people will have thousand opinions about it. Some might write it off completely, while some would praise it to the end of the world. Perhaps that’s what makes art such a complicated sphere.

Movies are no exception to this rule. We all have seen many types of critics and we invariably want to punch them in the face till the earth opened up. Right? As you master your punching skills, we round up five types of critics we really detest. Read on…

The celeb-obsessed:
This critic is so enamoured by the celeb quotient that he/she probably writes the review while beaming like a Cheshire cat on Christmas. He doesn’t care if the plot if flimsy, the story is lifted or the whole premise is a work of drug-ridden imagination. He simply doesn’t care as he gets around reviewing the work solely based on the celeb’s merit. Don’t you get so worked up reading this particular critic that you almost want to strangle him/her? We hear you, bro.

The beat around the bush:
This is the one we genuinely hate. And you can spot this kind miles away. He/she will not get around the point and only keep going in circles till you’re so frustrated that you pull your hair out. Even after reading the review three times, you are clueless about the plot and pretty much everything else…yeah? Welcome to the world of the beating around the bush writer.

The I-Am-God-You-Suck kind:
Despite never directing a movie or writing a script, this kind takes it upon itself to belittle the director and its team. Just because he/she is a certified movie critic. Ouch. It’s not tough to look for the ‘I am better than you’ points in their writing. Here’s the easiest way to spot them, they criticise almost every movie and think of themselves as god. Yes, a frigging god of the world.

The firang lover:
He/she will damn every regional every to have hit the screens, but even the most mediocre English movies will get a double thumbs up from him/her. Let’s face it, this is our average movie critic these days. Despite knowing jackshi** about movies, they think that they are the best thing to have happened to the world since denim. Give us a break, will you?

The exclamation alert:
Whatever you present to them, they will lap it up with such gusto that you’d think every film is a Rs 100-cr blockbuster. From exclaiming and praising a nonsensical movie to jumping up and down about a big release, they are notorious for being one of the most biased and idiotic set of critics in the world.

We would suggest that you watch a movie for the entertainment it offers and the stories that you can relate to. And not because some critic asked you to. After all, art is subjective.
