How could be so many of great people on my friend's list be wrong?
Why does it have to be an issue of right or wrong? :) Taste is so subjective...none of us like all the same things, and we like what we like for our own reasons. We can certainly share those reason for liking or disliking things but as I've written before, in the end everyone gets to decide for themselves and there's nothing wrong with your taste being very different even from people who you respect/trust/like a lot. That shouldn't mean that there's anything wrong with you or with them. :)
I have to admit, that's why I almost never recommend anything to anyone. I'm happy to state that *I* like something, but I never expect that anyone else will share my opinion. If others do, that's great, and if not, that's fine. too! I personally hate to be judged for my taste if others don't agree with me, and I would never presume to judge someone else for the (non-harmful)things they like...diversity is a wonderful thing! :D
I really enjoyed the first PoC film - it was good lighthearted fun with an actual plot and interesting characters. It made me laugh. It was also much better than the disaster I'd been expecting for a film that's based on a Disney theme park attraction. I haven't seen the second film, and I'm on the fence about seeing the third. I love Johnny Depp and his Jack Sparrow was the main attraction about the first film - he was hilarious, witty and incredibly charismatic.
warning: overly opinionated comment below. :D
