Just like it's ok to like a bad movie, but calling a bad movie good because you like it is also stupid.
100% agree. There are tons of movies that I enjoy that are objectively bad movies.
I can say with a straight face that I like the Scorpion King. There's nothing wrong with that, but if I go on to talk about what a masterpiece it was or how great this and that was, then I'd deserve to lose all credibility when it comes to movies lol. There are soooo many reasons why someone might like a bad movie, whether that genre just speaks to them (action films for me), it's overly cheesy and won you over, or maybe you watched it at a particular time in your life or with particular people to where nostalgia is playing a factor. Liking bad movies is fine. It's just that you need to understand the difference between a bad movie that you like and a movie that's actually good. It goes the other way too, there are plenty of objectively good movies that I don't like, but they didn't do anything wrong, the subject matter just didn't interest me.
