For me, a good trusted critic provides a passionate, articulate opinion. I can decide whether or not I want to invest my time from there. They watch the bad movies and play the lazily-made, uninspired video games so I don't have to.

Agreed, I much prefer third hand Pearl Jam message boards filled with dumbass thirty year olds that listened to a podcast about post-structuralism.
