No, they're not all different things - entertainment and gifts can be a form of bribery. Whether I or you think critics are professional or not doesn't matter (though a lot of them are just like you and me and act very unprofessionally). If they were being professionals they wouldn't have watched the movies independently from the studios. |
If critics let themselves be affected by attending to pre-screenings, a lot of high budget movies would get high reviews, and that's not the case. It's not just Disney which does this pre-screening thing and invite reviewers. Also you can't see a clearly disconnection or bias with critics when the reactions to the movies by critics and general audience alike are very similar...

Look at the MCU critics score compared to the audience score. They're pretty similar. You can compare it with IMDb scores if you want.
