Fair point, it's categorically true that no critic watches every single movie released and I definitely overstated that. A brief search on Statista indicates that about 700 movies are released a year, the average American sees 2.3 movies a year (in theaters), and professional critics review over 200 movies a year, some even review 300. I maintain that given this disparity (2.3 movies a year versus 200 a year) my point still stands, critics will tend to watch movies regardless of any predisposition towards them whereas an audience member will be much more discriminating about which 2.3 movies they will pay to see.
