Now that I'm older, I can appreciate all sorts of movies, but I still find that some of the stuff that's the most loved by critics is boring, and a lot of the stuff that they hate is very entertaining.
Not every movie needs to be deep or meaningful. Not every poem needs layers or hidden meaning.

I agree. If the critics all just love it, I am very skeptical. I have bailed out on some movies the critics thought were great. And movies they panned I loved.
