Critics share some of the blame for declining movie attendance. What do they propose to know that makes them qualified to determine which movies the general public, with it's hugely varied tastes in movies, should be seen and which ones skipped? I no longer pay attention to them, they raved about Wonder Woman, which I found slow and boring, and bashed Valerian, which was a really fun visual romp with non-stop action. The public would be better off to ignore the critics and watch trailers at such sites as Fandango and determine which movies they are interested in.
