i was wondering why so many people take pride and joy bashing on movies?

I don't know if 'pride and joy' is correct.

Content aside, any good movie can be art. And it can affect you unlike other kinds of art.

A bad movie is garbage.

Almost all movies are productions of very large corporations so profit is always part of the equation. They are products to be consumed from the corporate perspective.

With a bad movie, the corporation stole your money. With a little thought, they might have made an adequate movie and given you value for your money.

Good afternoon, that is an interesting point of view!
Thanks!
