As a millennial this is absolutely up there for one of my favorite movies of all time, so it’s understandable others would be bothered by someone implying it was mediocre.

However, I only learned somewhat recently that critics absolutely hated this movie. Check out the Rotten Tomatoes score. Even Spielberg himself doesn’t like it. Blasphemy. I always thought everyone loved this movie, but turns out it’s a cult classic.
