Seriously ... you like what you like, and don't give a toss if someone else doesn't.

I understand what you're getting at, but considering the opinions of other people is hardly letting someone else think for you. Aside from that, I've discovered far more things thanks to the mention of critics than I've ever been shied away from things because of them. I don't really think that anyone really, really internalizes what critics say and then bases their decision completely on that opinion.
Critics actually do know waht they're talking about, even though it makes us so much edgier when we decry their opinions because they conflict with our own. Unless it's TF movies, of course. The only reason people wouldn't like those is because of what critics say.
Just sayin' Burn.
Anyway, James Camerons' megamovies. Titanic and Avatar? They're ok, but not as earth changing as critics try to say. Avatar at least was interesting, once. And Thomas Pyncheon. Terrible writer, terrible.

There where only like 10 TFs in the whole movie. The Autobots don't come until halfway through the movie, then disappear until the last 10 minutes. There where too many humans. The plot was: Giant alien transforming robots come to earth to buy some glasses off eBay. The last fight scene was only 10 minutes long and the majority of it was Sam running to a building. The movie had little to nothing to do with TF's at all. Megatron was only in it for the last 10 minutes as well. That's all I can think of for right now. I guess you'll have to hunt me down now. Meet me where you want me, but when you do, you'd better be strapped!

See, I get what you're saying. But I like what Va'al said, a review should look at both sides. It seems these days a lot of critics just give their personal opinion, which is all well and good, and they're entitled to it, but call me crazy, if they're going to review something they should do the review from an unbiased perspective.
And that's probably why I don't give a toss about critics any more, a lot of them show their bias now.
