Exactly my point! You can know a candidate’s worth just by reading a list of their policies on paper. You don’t have to meet them. Whether or not they’re fun in person doesn’t matter. But a movie is all about entertainment, fun… you know? You cannot POSSIBLY know how much fun a movie is without seeing it.
I suppose it all boils down to how one judges a movie…what makes a movie good or bad. To me, a movie is made or broken by its story, as I mentioned above. If the story is bad, in my mind, the movie is bad – no matter what else the filmmaker does. That’s just me, of course. I remember once telling someone that I thought Michael Bay’s Transformer movies were bad because I felt the stories were silly. He told me that story didn’t matter to him; to him it was all about “robot carnage.”
To each his own, I suppose.
