i am also aware that my standards for "bad movies" are perhaps exceedingly generous, such that i could never declare any of the films i have seen as "the worst", and for this reason i can never look at the notes or comments of any "what's the worst movie you've ever seen" post because i know it'll be full of people who do not have my standards and have also not seen very many movies

#movies #like i don't really like most marvel or star wars films #but i could never list any of them as “worst movie i've ever seen”. they're FINE. they're Competent.#that's more than you could say about many films.#for the record: i enjoyed the star wars original trilogy when i watched it around 2015-2016 when the new movies were coming out #not really my thing but i was glad to have that pop cultural knowledge gap filled and i think they're well-made movies #sequel trilogy didn't make that much of an impression on me although i did appreciate some cool visuals and concepts #and i very much empathize with everyone who saw the excellent potential for so many of these characters and plot threads #and were forced to watch the films just do...nothing with them #i did actually think rise of skywalker was quite bad when i saw it in the theater. that's the only one where i walked out thinking #“yeah that was Bad. no one is going to be happy with this”#and was proven mostly right.#my favorite is still rogue one. i did enjoy that as a mostly standalone story with a good contained arc #i have since realized that i don't care enough about star wars to seek out any more content for it though and that's fine #and as for the mcu i have enjoyed the few films i've seen from it but by the time the big infinity war and endgame event movies happened #i had also realized i don't care enough about those either #and it doesn't sound like i'm missing out on anything.#also that was around the time when i was no longer just going to see whatever movies my brothers were in the theaters.#i was in college i had WAY more movies to watch on my own time and i was beginning to develop a superiority complex about not watching #the populist disney-owned slop of the day #(and also like. my own tastes)
