    I’m that friend minus the drugs. I would say 9/10 times I like the movie. I just enjoy experiencing other people’s creativity. I do try to mention my bias when people ask me if they should watch something.

      To be fair, there’s a big difference between a film being enjoyable and a film being good. There’s plenty of enjoyable movies that aren’t any good.

        I disagree. The point of a movie is to entertain. If it succeeded at that, it was successful. Bad worldbuilding, plot, etc is only bad insofar as it breaks immersion/enjoyment of the film.

          Many people consider the Sharknado movies to be entertaining but they are obviously terrible and cheesy. They are bad movies. Just because there’s entertainment to be gleaned from a movie doesn’t make it not bad. But it’s okay to enjoy a bad movie. You don’t have to pretend like a bad movie is good just because you found it entertaining.

      I enjoy almost everything I see in the theater. There have been a fair few movies that I enjoyed on the big screen but on rewatching at home was like “Why did I like this shit?”

        I find that I don’t go to the theater as much as I used to so I end up saving it for movies that I think will be better there.

        I can over do it though and be burned by my expectations. I was very disappointed in the Avatar sequel because I felt the movie might have looked better at home where I can turn off stupid things like changing refresh rate.
