I just read a French article talking about how a lot of critics (and some spectators) are completely disconnected from what is now mainstream culture like superhero movies, don't understand the movies at all, consider themselves superior for disliking it (not "intellectual" enough), and are surprised and unhappy when those movies are successful. "Why do a lot of people go watch this movie and like it when us, intellectually superior critics, told them that it's bad?"

Very nice read, written by a journalist specialized in cultural topics (once again, French only though) :

Kinda standard nowadays isn't it? A well made film does not mean it's entertaining. A film that is entertaining for us Joe Bloggs may not be what the critics are looking for when reviewing a film. Avengers is all spectacle and we love it for it because it gives us entertainment, helps that it's very well made, looks great with very few faults.

Of course, are these the critics that gave The Last Jedi great review scores when most people who saw the film were just annoyed by it, well made film or not, when I see star ships shooting across space saying "They are out of our range." many of us just laughed at the notion as it was stupid.
