Are Critics Messing with Us?

Critics are biased just like the rest of us.
 
I love watching Ebert and Siskel reviews and Ebert and Roeper. Their viedos are great and sometimes funny. I loved their review for War of the Worlds, they kept bickering back and forth about the tripods lol
There are the two great Siskel and Ebert moments I've seen.

Ebert gives "Full Metal Jacket" a thumbs down, and Siskel's not happy about it

The infamous "North" review

my only problem with critics is for movies like sorcerors apprentice... critics are so predictably bashing it... and it actually wasnt a horrible movie.. 41%? really? thats below an F lol

or movies like Saw or other horror flicks which are made for a very specific demographic.. just written off as garbage horror flicks or worse "torture porn"... which is offensive to the horror genre and those who love it.
 
i watched Siskel and Ebert's review of TMNT (1990). Siskel said this:

...."And I guess [the kids] liked it. I don't know...Maybe you're not as critical when your 5 years old."
