Sonic is just E.T with a coat of SEGA paint.

Why does Pepe not simply eat the fly?

Tell me how Avatar isnt just Pocahontas in space

"nothing happened" is a valid point, like El Camino

What does that even mean

I once had a woman tell me she thought Kubrick's Spartacus was bad because all the actors were too old.

The protagonist grows through an arc like the classic Hero's Journey instead of the modern Expectation Subversion.

All movie criticisms are valid concepts. The only time a criticism isn't valid is when it's objectively untrue ("this made no sense!", "well it was actually pretty clearly explained 2 scenes earlier..."), or when the criticism is of superficial details that don't impact the film ("yeah but the director made a twitter post where he spelt 'superficial' wrong so the film's shit!").
Calling a film boring means that the film failed to garner interest from the audience. It might be the most valid criticism.

People call a film pretentious when what they mean is that it was tryhard artsy shit that felt incredibly forced and used superficial arty techniques to make up for its complete lack of depth.
