Why do you think that so many intelligent critics seem to so strongly dislike Wes Anderson's films?

Like this Slate critic for instance: http://www.slate.com/id/2174859/

Or this really negative one from the San Francisco Chronicle:

I personally find his movies entertaining, funny, and a marvel to look at. "Bottle Rocket" was a comical tour de force and "Rushmore" was a truly moving picture that deserves a shrine at Heartland.

But I think he has been repeating himself quite a bit in these last three movies. Although, to be fair, "Darjeeling Limited" is waaay more entertaining than "The Live Aquatic."

However, I don't think any of them are as bad as many critics seem to suggest. Why is that?
