You're mistaking a "review" for a "critique", Diamond Man.
A review is for the use of the readers of the review, to help them decide whether or not they should spend their time and money on a product. It's a form of journalism, where the reviewer is reporting his or her reaction to a product, as honestly as possible, in order to allow his or her readers to gauge whether or not they want to try the product. So, Rakuen reported that he didn't like the move in general, and the character designs in particular. There was nothing wrong with that. As you point out, art is subjective, but Rakuen (or any other reviewer) only has his own subjective take with which to share; the review is a form of writing that allows, and in fact, requires him to share his own unique take.
He was not "critiquing" the movie, which is for the creator, and is designed to help them create a better product next time. Rakuen's review, like most of the reviews of movies on Flayrah, will never be read by the creators of Alpha & Omega, so even setting aside your claim that critiques should never get negative as they "stifle creativity" (which is at best dubious), I really, really doubt he hurt the feelings of the makers of the movie and they're not going to make any more movies ever.
Now, there is a difference between our movie reviews and our book reviews, in that most of the creators of furry books are aware of us and our reviewers should in turn be aware of their feelings. Though, the challenge here is not to never be negative; a review is still more for the readers of the review than the creator of a work. It's just try to be a bit more nice about it, so as not to, as you say, "stifle creativity".
