The word critic comes from Greek κριτικός (kritikós), "able to discern",[3] which is a Greek derivation from the word κριτής (krités), meaning a person who offers reasoned judgment or analysis, value judgment, interpretation, or observation.[4]
Academic criticism
It has been claimed
[by whom?] that journalist film critics should only be known as film reviewers, and that true film critics are those who take an academic approach to films. This work is more often known as
film theory or
film studies. These film critics try to come to understand why film works, how it works, what it means, and what effects it has on people. Rather than write for mass-market publications their articles are published in scholarly journals that tend to be affiliated with university presses; or sometimes in up-market magazines.
Hapa najaribu kueleza nini maana ya word critic, sio kwenye film tu, ila kwenye kila jambo, iwe uandishi, siasa, na hata masuala mengine ya jamii.

A
critic is anyone who expresses a
value judgement. Informally,
criticism is a common aspect of all human expression and need not necessarily imply skilled or accurate expressions of judgement. Critical judgements, good or bad, may be positive (in praise of an
object of attention), negative (in dispraise), or balanced (weighing a combination of factors both for and against). Since all criticism must be regarded as having a purpose, a
critic may also be definable by his or her specific
motivation. At its simplest, and for whatever reason, a critic may have either constructive or destructive intent.

Formally, the word is applied to persons who are publicly accepted in a recognised capacity, such as professional employment, graduation from a course of study, etc., to give critical commentaries in one or any of a number of specific fields of public or private achievement or endeavour. Such domains most commonly include
the arts,
performance and
public service (such as
catering) but may extend more widely to pronouncements on
moral character,
group behaviour, or any activity involving
repute in
public life, including war, broadcasting, academia, politics, science, etc. Critical judgements in this sense must always entail some degree of
subjectivity and are themselves subject to critical analysis.
Particularly in the domains of the arts and culture, where judgements can be at their most subjective, a formally accepted critic can play a powerful role as a public
arbiter of taste or opinion and can occasionally play a more or less defining role in cultural history. Also, because formal criticism is necessarily selective, the role of the formal critic generally intersects with issues of
censorship and the construction or denial of
canonical reputation in cultures. But criticism need not merely be perceived as a matter of building up or destroying reputations. Good
peer-group criticism is an important part of developing or maintaining excellent standards of achievement in any art or discipline, whether at the level of apprenticeship or ongoing practise.
