I really don't disagree with movie critics that much, I enjoy a couple of movies that get low ratings but objectively I usually agree with why the movie was scored badly.
Game reviewers on the other hand, I see that venue as nothing but a joke.

Typically I do agree with professional movie critics, but here are some notable exceptions:
Roger Ebert, probably the most respected movie critic alive, gave "Kick-Ass" one star out of four and called it "morally reprehensible." I guess it kind of is, but man, I have a lot of fun every time I watch that movie. However, it did receive positive reviews overall. (Can't wait for the sequel next year.)
You can still enjoy a movie that get's the review it (probably) deserves. If I'm a food critic and go compare a random hamburger from a diner and a lobster dinner from a 4 star restaurant, of course the latter is going to get the much higher grade and be regarded as culinary art..unless I'm allergic to shellfish. Doesn't mean I can't find the burger tasty. I've never seen Kickass so I'm not telling you your opinion is wrong, just trying to put stuff into perspective, I'm sure people will disagree with me. I think taste is a big factor too and sometimes critics will slam a really good movie when it comes out and then come to appreciate it years later, no one is perfect..but there's usually a reason why film's like Independence Day will score lower than 12 Angry Men,even if you found one very boring and another happens to be a cherished childhood movie.
