Oh please, not the film critics and their crap. If anyone, I despise the film critics. They consider themselves as an "experts" of film and are presenting their subjective opinions as something objective. Films are an art and art is purely subjective. There is no science it and certainly no objective measure.
Gotta disagree. There is such a thing as bad art. If you intend to make an enjoyable piece of entertainment and the result is The Star Wars Holiday Special, well I don't think that anyone would consider that enjoyable. It fails in its purpose, and does so objectively. The fact that we've been using the same formula for good storytelling for almost two thousand years means that there are some objective measures of good storytelling.
