Sure. If you enjoy a good movie, you are right. If you do not enjoy a bad movie, you are right. If you're right with every movie, you get an A+.

But if you enjoy a bad movie, it is clearly the result of a mental deficiency on your part. Worse case, idiocy or brain damage. I suppose it could be a misunderstanding, too. Like, you're colorblind, and bad cinematography is wrongly perceived to be color balanced. Or, maybe you misheard the dialogue, and what you thought it was was better than what it really was. You're still wrong, but it's not your fault the movie is so bad the actors don't even enunciate.
