> Still, I think it's an important one to make: our personal tastes have the freedom to be what they may, but it's not fair to make a more objective call on a movie -- or ANY work -- based on what we *wanted* it to be.

This seems like a nice idea, but then I have wonder *what* we are allowed to use when determining whether a movie is good or bad. There are things that people generally consider good, like seemless graphics, or realistic dialogue, but I'm sure there are people out there who would like a movie more if it had really horrible graphics and completely unrealistic dialogue. It seems to me that when it comes right down to it, you'll always be basing your decision off of either your opinion or the opinions of society in general. Is it ever possible to say "this movie sucks"?
