Works the same way with all forms of entertainment. If you like Independence Day then you like bad movies. If you hated Children of Men then you don't like good movies. I believe examples like this are absolute.

It's funny how certain forms of entertainment are OK to hold a line between bad and good but if it comes to something that everybody has access to, all of a sudden it's "my opinion is that it's a good movie" instead of "it is a good movie whether you like it or not." Sorta like The Beatles and Beethoven are good musicians, you just don't like them, but if you don't like No Country For Old Men then the movie sucks because you didn't like it.
