I suppose I'd agree with that, but then we have to start talking about what we mean by "bad" -- bad for whom; bad to do what with?
I once watched the action movie Pacific Rim with a friend who told me she didn't like it because it didn't have enough story and character development. She's right that it doesn't have much of that, but it also was never trying to. It may not have been the movie for her, but that isn't the same as being a bad - poorly executed - movie. Transformers, on the other hand, is bad at achieving even what it sets out to achieve. Much easier to call that bad, in my view.
- cosmotic 5y agoIf it's bad by one metric for one person but not-good for all other people in all other metrics, then overall I think it's fair to call it bad. You don't need to rigorously define bad to establish bad; a brief survey of common metrics and how something ranks is acceptable.
