For me the first thing that comes to mind is Tales from Earthsea. I don’t think it’s excellent or anything and has plenty of problems but people act like it killed their dog. While it has its problems that have been covered extensively, I think it has a beautiful atmosphere and art.

IMO it would have been better received if it wasn’t advertised as an Earthsea adaptation and was just its own thing.

      Obviously nothing wrong with that but I personally think it’s important to distinguish between “It’s good because it’s a bunch of moving pixels and it’s not terrible, and I’m lazy and have nothing else to do” and “it’s so good I thought about it for weeks after watching it”

      I would call the first example mediocre at best even if I technically enjoyed watching it that time.

        well in both cases, it affected me positively right?

        i want a smart thinking movie, after finishing it i still think of it days or weeks after. I got what I want.

        i’m bored,i want a dumb fun flick, after watching it, gosh time flew by and i was surprised i didn’t notice the time fly by. also i was entertained. I got what i want.

        i want something to make me laugh, i watch a move and laughed. i got what i want.

        all of these are good to me, i dont care if its dumb or not an artsy fartsy movie, i dont care if it’s a masterpiece. the most important thing is i got what i want. and that to me is good.
