People seem to miss the one of the main advantages of a professional reviewer. To me the real value of a good professional reviewer is they have a consistent measure, the ability to see many more movies than I do, and practice at disseminating their opinions. By following the same reviewers I am able to learn their style, their likes and dislikes, and their ability to provide a synopsis of the film. I never see a movie because it is a critics pick, I frequently see a movie because of a critics description which I then can use in my gauge of whether or not I would like that movie.
