I don't trust anyone to review a film, but I still read/watch reviews. Over the years I've learned to read between the lines a bit and I usually have a gut feeling for how a reviewer and the film in question 'match up'.

People that 'hate' art movies are usually wrong. People that 'love' popcorn movies are too. Art movies are nuanced and delicate, so hating it with a 1 star review is too broad of a brush to paint your opinion with. If you don't like art and connecting with humanity, don't watch art movies (peasant). Similarly, popcorn movies are trash (<3) and love is too strong a word. Have fun, be entertained, but if you love The Avengers with all 5 stars you are paper thin.

I speak strongly with a smile and fully accept that film is a subjective medium, open to interpretation, and you can go ahead and hate The Royal Tenenbaums if you want, and love The Avengers if you want, but I will take your review with a large grain of salt and you deserve to not to be taken too seriously.

It's been a long time, but I recall the Royal Tenenbaums just confusing me when I was younger (maybe too young) as I couldn't figure out what the point was. I liked the early Marvel movies as they were fun, but I just can't watch them or the shows on Disney+ anymore as I feel like I've hit my saturation point.
