serious question, if plot isnt the MOST important part of a film then what is? If the story doesnt make sense then whats the point? action i guess.

It varies and depends on the film itself.  Some films are technically (as in cinematography) wonderful, but bare bones in other ways.  Some have great characters through a simple story.  Others have amazing worlds, and others raise large questions to make you think or feel.

If a work is strong enough in a single aspect I am willing to forgive weaknesses in others. 

We all see a work through our own eyes with our own preferences and values so I think often these debates devolve into relativism.
