Fools, all of you!
Well, maybe not all of you. But there are certain movies like Napoleon Dynamite where either you 'get it' or you don't. Something being a Good Movie is different from you liking it; Aeon Flux is almost certainly not a good movie but if you like exciting action pics then you'd probably enjoy it.
Movies as entertainment and movies as art are seperate things, just like there's a difference between Ernest Hemingway and Stephen King. Sometimes they meet and that's where you get masterpieces like
Finding Nemo or
The Lord of the Rings that are critically acclaimed, visually, thematically and psychologically deep, and tremendously entertaining.
I've studied a lot of film and there's much to be found beneath the surface of a lot of movies, if only you care to look. I wrote six pages for a school project on the dynamic and infinitely scalable Baroque architecture of
The Chronicles of Riddick where most people saw only a mindless action flick. Got an A on it, too.
