...those reviews are a substitute for your own first hand opinions. You've done that in this thread so I don't understand what you're whining about here.

>>> "...a review by majority decision! Of a bunch of wannabe (not "top") major critics." <<<

Baloney! Their opinions are just as credible as a few wannabe big shot divas who think that their own shit doesn't stink. Being a "major critic" given the context you've provided only qualifies one for a position as an elitist snob.

>>> "And by the way, that incredible-looking "97% favorable" designation masks the reality of an 8.2 out of 10 average, i.e. four stars out of five. Not bad, but not a grand slam either." <<<

It's called a consensus; what's wrong with that? BTW, there's nothing 'masked' about it.

>>> "Myself, I go for what Anthony Lane, or Ty Burr, or Duncan Shepherd, or James Verniere, say, might say -- these guys' approaches to film are already well-known to me." <<<

Excuse me, do you have any Grey Poupon? ;0)
