Again, you really need to read both of our earlier posts again, I was pointing out contradictory statements you made about being condescending, I did not say the individual statement was wrong.
That's fine, that's a perfectly good way to think about movies and how you rate them. That isn't really relevant to any of the points I made though.

Critics aka pretentious fuks rate certains movies highly >>> general public / hive mind rate it highly as well reasoning with critics >>> imdb top 250
Irregularity within top 250 occur because of popularity of said movie and exposure to media
Also, every belief/"rule" will have exceptions
Regardless, this is just my opinion and i'm just some random fuk in bumfuk canada so it doesn't really matter what i say, i just believe that people rate movies highly of which they aren't entertained by solely because they feel like they should and i don't understand how someone could still like movies like godfather when they're struggling to keep their eyes open
Anyway, i always enjoy a good debate, cheers.

Before you sign off or whatever, I edited the last part of my post. I think that's actually my most import point.

Every single Lord of the Rings movie and spin off
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

It's like every point the movie is trying to make is spoon fed to the viewers through melodramatic rants. But I liked his Joker, a nice psychotic version of the character. Felt more like a villain from an episode of CSI than the Joker, but an interesting take on the character.Ledger was in 33 minutes of the movie, which is ranked number 4 on IMDB's all-time list. Ledger won best supporting actor Oscar and to this day is the best live-action Joker. When great material collides with a great performance special things happen. Iconic scenes, and nearly every line he spoke in the movie is quotable to this day.
For comparison, can anything name one memorable line Leto spoke as Joker? Laughing maniacally and shooting a machine gun is entertaining to dumb people, but Heath Ledger is the thinking man's Joker and the Joker for an entire generation.

So while I did like his performance, I still won't regard it as much other than the only good part of an otherwise horribly bland and forgettable movie. All the action scenes were shot incompetently (Now zoom in! Shake the camera a bunch! We don't want anyone to actually see what's happening!) The editing was atrocious. Who cut the movie? It feels like it's a day long, it just drags on forever (much like me rambling about the movie.)

The Revenant. It looked pretty but that was about it. They did nothing to establish Leo's character so it was hard to get invested in anything. It was just two hours of bad **** happening to him.

Watch this scene (and the two I posted before) and say the dialogue and acting aren't fantastic.
Sneaky bastard.
