I completely understand your position. Ever since I really started to become more of a writer, I couldn't just passively enjoy movies the way other people do and I have to actively enjoy movies in an intellectual way as well (unless they're so bad it's good). It's difficult but I quickly learned not to express my negative opinion of any movie or TV episode in front of my family or I'd get the stinkeye because they just want to relax with a timewaster or two. Luckily, my girlfriend is an English major so she enjoys discussing this kind of stuff with me, and she knows that even when I'm frustrated by say Once Upon a Time (a show she loves), it's usually for a good reason.

When I watched it at the cinema, I entered sincerely hoping it would end with an alien invasion that would wipe out humanity for good, and when I exited and my girlfriend asked me if I liked it, I just said "meh".
She and all of her friends were all like: "Oh, it's so romantic and poetic!"
And I was the Grinch.
Anyway, there's some redeeming value to it:

Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
