Why Film Critics are Worthless

For years I have been reading reviews of new movies in publications from the New York Times to Cracked.com. The reviews by actual film critics (effectively anyone associated with a newspaper or other such publication) have proved worthless more times than I can count. I recall one time when a Twilight film got a better review than an action film that came out around the same time (can't remember which). At no point should a Twilight film be given a good review. This isn't my personal bias talking, but it's based upon the unwritten rule that film critics have been following for years.
