“Movie Critic in Bad Faith” is a term used to describe a critic who approaches a movie with the intention of discrediting it, rather than offering a genuine critique. These critics may have personal biases against the movie or the filmmaker, and their reviews may be based more on these biases than on the actual merits of the film. This type of criticism can be damaging not only to the movie being reviewed, but also to the reputation of the critic, as it undermines the credibility of their opinions.
