It’s subjective. Some people have education or a lot of experience with the art and technicalities of filmmaking, some people just like what they like without thinking about it too much.
Speaking for myself, I rate movies based on how much I enjoy them and how often I watch them again. Which puts Resident Evil and Jean-Claude Van Damme movies at the top of my list. Movies commonly cited as the greatest ever made (like Casablanca or whatever) don’t interest me at all.
Same for me honestly, I honestly don’t care what critics say if I enjoy the movie, Casablanca is for some reason ridiculously overrated, I watched it once when it was on TV expecting like Godfather quality and it was boring asf.
