You make the mistake that I was giving permission instead of making a statement.
Probably because I was being sarcastic.
However, it is critically and financially successful, and while you insist that has no relevance to the matter, our culture does hold that at great value, so your saying that popularity in terms of financial and critical success doesn't matter in terms of quality of film is also simply your opinion, and an incorrect one.
I judge a movie based on its own merits, not how popular it is. I guess that just makes sense to me; that a movie would be judged based on being a movie.
That makes even less sense than the "but they've done it before" argument.
And I'm sure you always agree with critics, right? And that critics are never shallow or stupid. they would never say something like, "I don't like sci-fi, but..."
All that's being shown here is your need to validate your opinion by basing it on the opinions of others.
Whatever.
Your opinion is that the movie sucks.
Which doesn't need to be backed by any critics but actually is. Is their opinion somehow less valid because they thought this was a bad movie?
the vast majority find this movie to be a high quality and successful movie.
Unless you want to add a qualifier there, you can't make that claim.
