Often times I find that highly rated movies aren't fun to watch. They follow the 'good movie' formula and it shows. I really only like comedy and action movies, personally, but don't want every movie to follow the hero's journey. I don't need them all to be the tale of an underdog who really has the greatest power. I don't need the camera framing to hint at who the antagonist is.
I just want to see the girl and her dog defeat Predator or James MacAvoy's beastly terror in Split. If they happen to also include some of the formula, that's okay but it certainly isn't what made the movie good to me.
