Why It's Pointless To Argue About Movies

That's just horrible.

It's only useless to argue with people that don't want to hear each others opinion.

First of all, we don't need to be black-and-white. For instance, the opinion of your friends can change you from neutral to excited. I have changed my perception of movies several times that way.

Second, even if you don't change your view of a movie, it's fun to talk about the movie… Noticing things you haven't.

Third, and this one is the important thing for me. Talking about the movie can make me understand better how my friend thinks! For a second let's forget how good that is… assuming we only cared about movie's quality. That will help you next time a friend recommends a movie. You can ask specific questions that will bridge the gap.

It's only pointless if you think it's a zero-sum game.

Not sure why a whole blog post was needed to say "because people have different tastes." Some people prefer visuals, some prefer the plot.
