I have a problem with people who like the movie getting defensive when someone criticizes it.
I mean, if someone like the movie obviously they’re going to get defensive in regards to criticism. If you like a movie and aren’t willing to defend it, do you even like it?
If you can just accept that some people have a different opinion than you, you’ll be a lot happier in life.
Couldn’t the same be said in reverse? Why get upset about people liking and defending the movie?
I don’t have a problem with people liking the movie, I have a problem with people dismissing legitimate criticism. Every movie has problems, even some of the best movies ever made. People should learn to acknowledge criticism, not deny it.
I mean, nitpicks and plot holes are some of the most lazy and pointless forms of criticism there is, I wouldn’t stress too much about calling them “legitimate.”
More importantly, it’s all subjective. Just because you think you’ve spotted a legitimate flaw with a work does not mean everyone is forced to agree with you that it is a flaw.
