I listen to critics because I value their opinions as experts in their field and I tire of the view that their profession is in some way worthless. People get very snotty and superior about not listening to critics as if that somehow makes them better than those that are 'foolish' enough to pay them heed, but there is rarely any good reasoning behind it other than the fact that they can't find a critic who likes the same things that they do- which is rather missing the point about what critique is about.
I am not going to let a bad review put me off the sort of film I would like but yes, damn right I listen to what critics have to say about things. They also bring insight to a film far beyond than I get from just about any peer review I see.
