    evaluating the movie on criteria that have nothing to do with how enjoyable it is to watch

    Being a critic means evaluating a piece of media based on all criteria, including enjoyability. Part of the reason why people are more "negative" about films these days is because they are often viewed through streaming services/based piracy at home, detached from the inherently enjoyable communal buzz and the enhanced audiovisual experience of seeing a film in theatre on the big screen.
