Critics, especially those over 25/30 was educated in film/television studies in a completely different way than what the new guard of film/tv students are. We are taught about the history of film, but also about how much effort and skill it takes to make a blockbuster. We are taught about genres and sub genres and different rules for different genres. The "old" guard was taught that classical films are the best and that the films that are really great are the ones that are classical or strives to be in one of the genres that we have today inspired by that. Also there are "rules" to story telling and cinematography and miss-en-scene that you "have" to follow to make a great film, and some film critics tends to get a bit too hung up in that and not in how the film actually is experienced. And I will stop writing now, because this is turning into a novel.

So yes you probably don't align up to film critics when it comes to judging films. But that does not mean you have bad taste in film, no one can have a bad taste in film as such. Just different tastes in film.

also from experience my classmates that want to review films are the ones who have the most elitis film taste ever so that might also explain it.

You summed it up much more expertly than I did.

But then again, nowadays the definition of 'critics' isn't so cut-and-dry. Not only are younger writers coming up the ranks but many reviewers are also just random people with a YouTube channel. Most of the time, though, you will get something like a critical consensus even with such varied folks writing reviews; that was the case for this particular film, for example.
