I'm exactly like that, but the other way around. 90 % of the movies I watch I don't enjoy. Mayhap it's just not my medium. Makes the 10 % I did enjoy realy worth it tough.

dude is stuck at a toddler level

With the same logic there's no good food and bad food, might as well eat mud if it makes hunger go away. Drink your piss, yay thirst gone! Live under bridge, yay no rain! Work 60 hour weeks get minimum wage, yay you're contributing to society woohoo

Good rage bait tweet, twat. You got me.

I 100% get this and I think a lot of people are missing the point. It's like going to a football game without knowing the rules, which team is better, or who is winning and having fun anyway. It's not having fun watching people suck because shitty football can be funny.

Movies can be fun bad tbh. They can have cheap budgets, horribly low quality CGI, but still be a fun watch.

Good movie: the one you enjoy

Bad movie: the one you don't

Simple as that, my metric of scoring isn't good or bad, it's whether i enjoy it or whether it annoy me. I pick what i watch and will go through review and score so most of the time i know i gonna enjoy it, but sometime an outlier will pops up. I'm still not over how annoyed i am for 28 Weeks Later.

I mean hey, if you have low standards, and you're completely honest about it, nothing wrong with that... and it also puts the onus on the people with higher standards to actually explain why they do or do not like any given movie, easier to suss out the people who don't actually have consistent standards, but instead just have an amalgamation of their favorite influencers opinions.

Win win win as I see it. I'm a bit of a movie snob, and I can explain why I do or don't like a movie...

But I am also self-aware enough to realize that other people have other standards, and 90% of the time, if there isn't some utterly reprehnsible trope or caricature or very very misleading depiction of real events in a 'based on a true story' type thing... eh, whatever, we have different tastes, wanna get pizza?

Dude just watch the room and you will get it

Sounds like 10% of the time you did not have fun watching a movie. That's a bad movie.

I did a Final Destination marathon recently to prep for Bloodlines.
While all the movies have their flaws and weaknesses, FD4 was garbage. Even as a easy to please person I couldn't handle it.

Genuinely terrible, I am shocked they wanted it to be the last one in the franchise, to the point they called it "The Final Destination"

Must be nice to be able to just completely switch off your brain like that.

I get you bro

Me enjoying a movie does in no way exclude it from being a bad movie.

Seeing as I do enjoy watching bad movies. Terrible acting, bad cuts, awful dialog. I love it.

Whether you had fun and the quality of the movie are not entirely related.

Good movies are self-aware. Not everything needs to be a masterpiece of acting and cinematography, or have the best effects, or the best writing. But they have to know what they are. I don't mean breaking the fourth wall or self-deprecating humor. More like understanding their limits.

The people making Sharknado knew they were doing a campy action film (series) with sharks in tornadoes. Fun Movie. Would watch again.

M. Night Shyamalan is a great writer and director, but a lot of his films have a feeling of over-dramatized self-importance, where it seems like he really wants you to know how clever he is. So they get panned.

Chrisopher Nolan (I think) puts similar importance on symbols and archetypes with a dramatic and artistic style, but his movies have a feel of like "I don't give a shit if you get it, just enjoy the ride." He makes good films.

Sometimes, it's more important that you enjoy the thing than the thing being objectively good. There is merit to objectively analyzing things, and there can be enjoyment found in doing so. There is also merit to just enjoying the thing you like. Both are valid.
