Signalstar said: I love movies. I especially love good movies. Of course quality is subjective. Sometimes movies that critics and even general audiences love I find lacking or downright abysmal. The Revenant Gladiator Donnie Darko Into the Wild Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind The Babadook Just to name a few. |
I liked all those movies for various reasons and would rate them highly. I think one thing to keep in mind with critics is they are immersed in movies and watch them all the time so it creates a distinct cultural lens they view them through. Never let that affect how I feel, but I would say in general there is an alignment of what is held up a great and what I enjoy, or at the very least don't hate.
I mean, I think Pulp Fiction should have beat Forest Gump for best picture, but I don't hate it.
