"did you like the movie?" doesn't seem like a leading question to me. It's just a yes/no question so it's certainly not the best question to ask for an open ended discussion compared to the "what did you think about the movie". A better example of a leading question in my opinion would be something like "how much did you like the movie?" where the question is loaded with the premise that the person actually did like the movie. Yet there's no universal truth to which types of questions should you be asking. Sometimes a simple yes/no is in fact what you want. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading_question https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading_question
