Critics tend to review with their head and audiences with their heart. The critic reviews more often look at the history of film and cinematography, and whether the film can bring a new idea to the world in an interesting way. Audiences tend to like films that touch them or hit their favorite genre or are just funny even if cinematically flawed.

I find looking at a bit of both and deciding if we have a charming mess, a brilliant bore or something in the middle helps. Do I want to watch this film to learn something about humanity or eat popcorn and laugh? A poor critic rated film with a decent audience score can often do the latter.
