Works of Artistic Criticism try to look at why a piece of art is IMPORTANT or MEANINGFUL, but do not necessary judge it to be "good" or "bad."
This is different from commercial criticism (i.e. "reviews") that are, in part, letting people know if the item is worth spending time or money on, and so will include a value judgment to help the reader make a decision.

“The society we see onscreen, its civil order crushed by fear, is meant to be a nightmare vision of our own society. V may begin his rampage in search of personal vengeance, but in the end he attacks the entire system, and, as the movie tells it, the system deserves to be attacked. It turns out that the government once released a deadly plague on the British citizenry in order to pose as its savior.”
