It's easy to understand, you go at the movies, you see those average moviegoers who go see only silly blockbusters or shitty movies and who just don't "get" other kinds of movies, if you have no knowledge of movies, and what good movies are, how can you judge?
You're not gonna ask a guy who doesnt know anything about movies, who just goes to the movie theater to watch movies like Ghost Rider or Transformers and shit what he thinks of There Will Be Blood, or Life Of Pi, or The Master, or Citizen Kane, whatever (on the top of my head).
DAMN, I don't want to sound condescending (and I will), but I can't make it any clearer than that.
Take an example, a guy like Jim Cameron would be more qualified than any of us to judge a movie, and it would make sense no?

Doesn't matter who the judges are, as no two people are alike!
Which is why you have no film, in history, that is liked by every person on the planet. Sure some films are liked by lots of people, but so what.
I couldn't care less what JC likes. If he prefers a film that I don't like...big deal. It's my opinion, and only my opinion that counts, in the end.
And it's just
that simple.
