Well if you're a critic you're supposed to have an informed opinion, something that is not just your personal, knee-jerk reaction but a well thought-out intellectual construction that explains what's good and what's less good and why.
Otherwise what's the point? I can get an opinion from any patron at any bar, or from dogs even.
