What's with all the insults from negative reviewers?


I read some pages of the reviews and the scores are either 1 or 6+. Did not see a single score in between amongst the 3 pages I looked.
And in 90% of the 1-reviews they call people who liked the movie dumb, immature, neckbeards etc. What the hell is up with that? Can't get it in your head that different people like different stuff, especially in humour? Who's the one being immature really?
Also, many of the 1-reviewers state that they grade the movie a 1 because others overrated it. Really? But you know what? Maybe a lot of people are overrating it cuz so many are underrating it. In fact, I should do that myself now.
And I was just wondering, is that a thing now? To rate movies you don't like a 1? I'm not sure if I've given a single one. Feels like a movie has to be beyond dreadful to achieve that score rather than story, humour etc not being to your liking.

But hey, maybe that's just me.

Critics are probably best summed up from the movie "Chef". They take no collateral or kick-back and can smear whatever they like smugly because it doesn't live up to what they think is their own version of "creative" or "interesting".

All movies are subjective, so having critics is kind of ridiculous. Whenever I read reviews it always seems like a person taking an opportunity to show how intellectually superior they are to everyone else by using large words and writing in long winded paragraphs.
