Actually, that's not at all true. Not ALL opinions are valid. Again, extreme example to prove a point - kinda my thing - but some people are of the Opinion that the Holocaust was a swell idea and would like to see someone try again. Clearly that person's opinion is Wrong, and if not, I'm... not sure I want to hear the reasons Why Not. They're wrong. They're Just Wrong. Just to establish, conclusively, that opinions can be Just Wrong. People seem to have a difficult time with this concept.

Further, I wouldn't quite mock or belittle someone JUST for their opinion, but I will take a look in how they came to their conclusion and go from there. As far as this particular movie goes, well... frankly, I dismiss any opinion that has nothing behind it other than "I liked/disliked it because I did", which is an uncomfortable number of people. And it's usually people whose Opinions are THAT shallow, that have a hard time when people point out that maybe they're not looking at things objectively. People who go out of their way to reject ANY critical objection/analysis of the movie, and call people things like "haters" for pointing out the numerous things, great and small, that are wrong with it.

Basically, I've noticed that, everything else being equal, people who Didn't like it can give a lot more reasons Why, than people who Did, and are much better at having a conversation about it without anyone's feelings getting hurt. Well, that may suck for people who liked it, but maybe the movie should have been better in the first place? Maybe "I liked it, leave mah movie alone!" by itself isn't worthy of being considered "discussion," "debate", or "discourse"?

Too many people want to argue that the sky is pink and call it "their opinion", then get pissy when people point out that there's holes in their logic. Not Okay. People need to either elevate their standards of entertainment, OR, get a thicker skin if they absolutely insist on liking awful things.

People can like awful things but you also shouldn't pretend they're good just because they're entertaining on a "what am I doing with my life" level.
