I’m not a film critic, but I can provide information and insights about films based on existing data and analysis. The criteria for evaluating a film can vary significantly depending on personal taste and critical perspective. Common elements that critics might consider include:

1. **Story and Script**: How well is the story structured? Is the dialogue engaging and believable?

2. **Direction**: How effectively does the director bring the story to life? Are there notable or innovative techniques used?

3. **Cinematography**: How well is the film shot? Are there memorable visual compositions or effective use of light and shadow?

4. **Acting**: Are the performances compelling and authentic? Do the actors convey the emotions and nuances of their characters effectively?

5. **Music and Sound**: Does the soundtrack enhance the narrative and emotional impact of the film? Is sound used creatively?

6. **Editing and Pacing**: Is the film well-paced? Does the editing contribute to or detract from the coherence of the story?

7. **Themes and Messages**: What themes are explored, and how effectively are they conveyed? Does the film provoke thought or offer new perspectives?

8. **Emotional Impact**: How does the film make you feel? Does it resonate emotionally with the audience?

Ultimately, whether a film is considered a masterpiece or a failure can be subjective. Different critics and audiences may have varying opinions based on their personal preferences, cultural backgrounds, and expectations.

I watch movies to enjoy them, not to grade them and write reviews on them. I don't get paid for stuff like that. I can notice flaws if they are extremely obvious. In one tv series a guy was surrounded by arches (circle formation) and they warned him to surrender or they will kill him. But bro, what if all of them shot and he ducks. Arrows will fly towards others. Makes no sense to me.

It sounds like you're describing a scene with a clear tactical oversight, which can sometimes pull viewers out of the story. These kinds of moments often happen because filmmakers prioritize dramatic tension or visual impact over practical realism. While it's not uncommon to spot such flaws, many viewers, like you, focus more on the entertainment value rather than critiquing every detail. Suspension of disbelief allows audiences to enjoy the story even when logic takes a backseat. If the overall experience is engaging and enjoyable, these issues can often be overlooked. Still, noticing them can add an interesting layer to how you perceive and discuss movies and shows.
