I wish I could use my Trakt account to find an avid critic similar to my tastes. That’d be cool…
Because, yeah, critics usually suck. They will tell you a movie is great, and the vibe can be so shitty sometimes. Like, ruin your whole night levels of depressing or pretentious.
Sorry for the very late reply, but I’m hoping you’ll still get this: Find movies where you feel like you’re in the minority for liking. Then find critics who feel the same way as you. Root through their review archives till you find at least a couple other films where you both agree on fringe films. When you’re done you should just have a couple critics left. Read them consistently and hopefully one or more will be your long term go-to.
This is how I found my absolute favorite critic, Walter Chaw. The summer X-Men 3 came out alongside Live Free Or Die Hard. Both got similar RT scores, but I hated XM3 and loved Die Hard. Decided that any critic who felt the same as me would understand me. Was one of the best decisions I made.
