FAQ About The Cultural Evolution of Film Criticism

What is the impact of the internet on film criticism?

The internet revolutionized film criticism by greatly expanding its reach and democratizing who could be a critic. Blogs, forums, and websites like Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb allow anyone to review and critique films, diversifying voices and opinions available to audiences. While this democratization has broadened perspectives, it has also challenged traditional critics' authority. Now, film criticism is more immediate and interactive, shaped by real-time responses and community debates.
