Somewhere along the line, people got the idea that criticizing a movie in any way must mean that you hate it. We don’t know what kind of person they think spends their Friday night down a rabbit hole of Wiki pages to find out exactly which law of transfiguration Harry Potter is breaking in a given scene, but that person would probably not describe themselves as “not a fan.”
The fact is that, since we watch them over and over and think about them so much, it’s often the plot threads of the movies we love the most that become the most vulnerable to being gleefully pulled apart.
