I think it's important to distinguish between cinematically valuable movies and enjoyable movies with no substance.
I like marvel movies. They don't teach you anything, they don't challenge any ideas, they don't increase you as a person at all. They have zero substance, but they're pretty and fun
They're often good, but I'd never tell someone "you have to watch this marvel movie" the way I would tell someone to watch a Tarantino movie. Same general kind of movie, same great action sequences, but a Tarantino film has substance, it leaves an impact where a marvel movie leaves you just entertained
And that's fine... But ratings for a cinematically valuable movie are worth digging into - for one that's just entertaining, the ratings only matter when deciding if it's worth watching
It's a pure matter of taste vs maybe you were missing something on a deeper level
