To me, a good movie is something that keeps me entertained for the ~2 hours you invest in it. Nothing more, nothing less. Make a film with as much symbolism and underlying themes as you want. Congratulations, you've made "art". I don't pay 10 bucks a head for art. In that respect, I immensely enjoyed both Transformers 2 and G.I. Joe.

Well, that was my problem. I simply didn't enjoy G.I. Joe. I agree with you that movies don't have to be art to be enjoyable, but I didn't find this at all enjoyable. I was squirming in my seat the entire time hoping it would end soon and wondering why I had let my friends talk me into seeing it. It's been, what, three months now, and I'm still scarred over that!

That's exactly how I felt when I watched "Boondock Saints". It almost seems like a requirement that every college kid is supposed to love it (just about all my friends do), but the whole time I was like "When on earth is this movie going to end?"
