good points especially this one:

---
There is no such thing as an objective review. While writing the review, you’ll discover things about yourself — about the baggage you carry, about the biases you have — that you may never have anticipated. And all of this will inform your analysis. That’s why there is no such thing as an objective review.
---

And this is precisely why I think the-hindu type one-man reviews are not useful anymore. In forums (and across social media), you get to read all perspectives that give you the real (or at least closer to real) picture of what is good and bad about the movie. Plus, you can also use your knowledge about the posters to get even a more accurate review.
