But shouldn’t we compare our greatest experiences of art? In the same way that people may say, “oh, this movie is actually better in a theater”, if the most enjoyment you can get out of a “bad movie” is by hate watching it with friends then do that! I believe that if everyone rated movies like this that the stinkers would still have worse ratings for the most part.
Like, recently saw Madam Web and had a blast. I’d give is 3/5 based on the enjoyment of watching.
This is part of why knowing the critic’s opinions are so important. You should trust people with similar tastes to you. People that prefer fine cinema and don’t want to hate watch should read critics that have the same opinion. Aggregate scores wouldn’t change too much. We could find the movies that are so awful not even hate watching them redeems them!
