Or maybe the score on metacritic and RT from audiences, and the general consensus of the moviegoer community?

You need to focus, you are jumping from one sources to the next. If you are going to have faith in critic and user scores, then that disavows your opinion on the MCU. Unless it is only relevant for movies you like and dismissed for those you do not.

Pick a path and try to stay on it if you can.

It depends about what movie we talk about, for example Cronenberg's crash can be easily seen as a dull and pretentious film if you don't know the director or what he's talking about. This would justify the movie being divisive and not suited for the general audience.

User-friendly films like Aquaman and Captain Marvel? No way.

I just watch the film and form my opinion, based on my preference.

You just repeated what I said.

But that is still some ones opinion which can not be proven right or wrong. Just because a film gets a high score on RT does not mean that it's a great film.

And vice versa. As the saying goes beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Yes, films are subjective but there are some more prestigious archiviements between lists, magazines and awards: I was just referring that the criticism can be clearly seen in these sites or by fans of the same franchise, not like the film is "objectively bad".

I like Ang Lee's Hulk and Batman Forever despite them being far more hated than Batman Returns and The Incredible Hulk, two similiar films that i absolutely hate.

How do you hate a movie? Just such a strange word to use.

Dislike it a lot, just a boring or dull film or when it gets the character totally wrong like Batman Returns do.

You are kind of one note poster. It is pretty weird. Anyway good luck on your journey of anger against the MCU and Batman Returns. I hope it gives you all the joy you need.

So what if i think Batman Returns is garbage and Forever is better? I personally think Alien is a better film than Star Wars Episode IV, yet you won't see me picking that film when it appears in a matchup like that anytime soon.

There are no rules in terms of how much you need to enjoy something, admit it. I'll go with enjoyment and how it affected me over quality and how it affected cinema. And I had some legitimate complains about the film. I think it's vastly overrated and does not deserve to be considered good, let alone as good as Fight Club and other classics I wasn't attacking anyone, i was criticizing the film and who thinks it's a perfect one.

I don't have any joy, i have just some complaints about a film.

I have em also to films like Indiana Jones KOTC, Tenet, Alien 3, Jack, Exodus, Cosmopolis and many other films of my favorite directors.

I like a lot of poorly reviewed box office bombs. Doesn't matter, I like what I like.

But what did Rotten Tomatoes, Metacrtic, random youtuber number 87, and Bruh Man from the 5th floor think?

How do what they think align with your thoughts, to form your own opinion for you to share everyday on the internet?

I’ve intentionally kept from replying to him and feeding his incessant need for attention. It was slightly comedic at first, but it’s gotten old and I think it’s time to actually add him to the ignore list.

I think he missed out on a few hugs growing up, and maybe he should climb out of the basement and ask mommy for a few.
