Absolutely.
A few others here have expressed similar sentiments, and I'll add my voice to it.
There is ZERO need to express a negative opinion on something unless:
A) You were specifically asked for your opinion
B) You're a professional movie/art/food critic, opinion columnist, or Judge, and it's your job to pass an opinion on that specific thing
C) The thing upon which you are expressing your opinion is in some way not merely unpleasant to you,
but OFFENSIVE or damaging in some way, and something needs to be said.
D) You are participating in a forum or blog where people specifically come to air opinions, whatever they may be...
...and even then, as Pyrrho pointed out, there's really nothing constructive being accomplished by offering a gratuitously negative opinion
on something that is hurting no-one.
