My wife and I went into The Northman blind, and we honestly loved the experience. I don't give a shit whether or not it's realistic or historical accurate on any front. It was like John Wick with Norse mythology. Just an intense and barbaric ride from start to finish. I was genuinely surprised to learn how universally disliked it was. But people are out there buying tickets to 9 Fast 9 Furious 9, so I don't exactly value the reviews of opinions of strangers.
I know people who swear The Prestige is the worst movie they've ever seen, one person said they turned it off half an hour in because "nothing made any sense"
But you better believe they praise every MCU movie like it's Shawshank Redemption.
There are plenty of movies I love but will readily admit they're garbage. Like Evolution. Hot garbage but I love every second of its shiny, flake-free existence.
I love the Prestige. And MCU movies for the most part. Shawshank redemption was fine
Don't get me wrong, I was SO HYPED for The first half of the Endgame series. It kind of petered out and I didn't even end up watching endgame until over a year and a half after it left theaters. But knowing I wanted to see it I avoided most spoilers. I think we know which one I LITERALLY COULDN'T avoid.
I don't have much interest in the ones that came after endgame, they could be better than the originals for all I know, I've just lost my taste for them for now.
My wife and I did watch all of them in Chronological order though two years ago, since she had never seen most of them.
People have different tastes in movies, and that's okay. I won't hold shawshank against you lol my own wife didn't care for it, though for my sake she claims it was great.
I guess my very lazy point is that your taste in movies can be whatever you want, but we can't pretend basic action movies are cinematic masterpieces, or that being a proclaimed "cinematic masterpiece" means you'll like the movie. (I'd argue a movie can be a master class of cinema while still being an objectively bad movie)
