Both "love" and "hate" are used too readily. Regardless, isn't expected that anything that people can "love", be it music, poetry, or movies, people might also "hate"?

Or do you think art doesn't create such strong emotions? People like and dislike art, but are not moved to great passionate feelings?

Yes art can create strong emotional responses. I often wonder though how often 'love' and 'hate' are invoked to counter another person's opinion rather than express one's true feelings about the piece of art in question.

Very overrated film. Sits alongside Forrest Gump in regards to movies I despise with a passion.

Just out of curiousity, what movies do you rank as "perfect" (or close to it)?
