I'll put in my two cents for what's being brought across.

I think AlphaBean is right, but to an extent. Short and sweet:

Pro: People should accept things for what they are, and try to enjoy them. Film majors who ONLY watch foreign and independent abstract films scoff at King Kong and Batman. Why? Film can captivate in many different ways, and I think that people need to not limit themselves to their comfort level.

Con: There are a WHOLE LOT of shitty, passionless, redundant, garbage movies. You mean to tell me I should go see Big Momma's House 2 and "try to enjoy it?" It sucks. The concept is retarded, and they're just trying to make money off of a crappy first comedy. I think the reason why people are so quick to judge is because they are always let down by these terrible Hollywood movies like "Fantastic Four" and "Stealth."

So, in turn, I can usually spot crap when I see it, because it's usually pretty obvious. However, I'll also try to take into consideration what the movie is trying to do, and if it does what it's trying to do well, I'll usually like it.
