The Jaded Empire: The Contemporary Attitude of Criticism

I'm not sure how this happened, or why, but it's disgusting.  Our world has become saturated with criticism.  It has reached a point such that any work that is published gets immediately attacked by vast amounts of hate, both online and offline.  For example:  The Dark Knight Rises.  Was it a perfect movie?  No.  Was it really well crafted and, well, entertaining?  Yes.  People have gotten to a point where they criticize every new release, and it's really surprising to me.  When I watch a movie or play a game, I usually ignore a lot of the media and fan feedback until after I've completed them.  This means that I, as an optimist, get really surprised when I get online, or talk with other fans about these works.  A couple of examples:  The ending to Mass Effect 3, the ending to Assassin's Creed 3, or the Dark Knight Rises.  People just cannot be satisfied anymore.  We are just saturated with so much media, and specifically with so much criticism that it has become second nature, though most of us are no good at it.
