Critic

A critic (from Greek krites, a judge) is a person who offers judgement or analysis, value judgement, interpretation, or observation. The term can also be used to describe an adherent of a position disagreeing with or opposing the object of criticism. Critics include professionals or amateurs who regularly judges or interprets performances or other works (such as that of artists, scientists, musicians or actors) and, typically, publishes their observations, often in periodicals. Critics are numerous in certain fields, including art critics, music critics, film critics, theatre or drama, restaurant and scientific publication critics.
