It is entirely possible to enjoy something bad or not enjoy something good.
For me, Dunkirk was an excellent retelling of an historical event, but it left me bored out of my wits. I just couldn't get into it because I wasn't the right audience for it.
Conversely, the live action Super Mario Bros. movie and the two live action Flintstones movies are all really really dumb films and I love 'em! They're so stupid but endearingly so.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.
Yeah, I mean, it's okay to like something bad or not like something good if you know you're liking something bad or disliking something good. I don't get why people must insist that liking something must always mean it's good or not liking something must always mean it's bad.Deadput wrote:Sabrblade wrote:There is a difference between something being good or bad and a person liking or disliking something.

For me a film being "good" or "bad" means crap all as long as it's entertaining.
Like you said there have been really well crafted movies but they were just boring to watch.
Mean while there are movies that are "badly made" like the Room that leave me reeling in laughter.
This is why I like the Bay films (And the franchise as a whole) as bad as they can be, there have been some great things that I don't ignore.

Cuz Fifty Shade Darker and The Mummy were just that much worse than The Emoji Movie.megamanfan wrote:how is the emoji movie not in more of these categories? that movie deserved nothing but scorn.

And quite frankly, that's going to put me over my bad movie quota for the year because I intend to watch Justice League soon.

Might even do them back to back!
Justice League ended up surprising me on how much I ended up not disliking it, as it wasn't as awful as I was expecting it to be, as it ended up being a very middle-ground movie that wasn't great but also wasn't outright terrible either. It's probably the second-most decent of the DCEU films, with Wonder Woman still the only really good one.Burn wrote:You guys are making me want to watch the Emoji Movie now just to see how truly bad it is.

Critics, awards ... they don't define why you like or dislike a movie, don't let them influence your opinion.

Next you'll be telling me that I shouldn't try and convince people to have the same opinion as me.

Once that scene ended and we cut to the present day, everything else just felt so empty and bewildering as to why they were done the way they were.
