..what do you consider? Is it the acting? The dialogue? The music and scenery? The 'hot' girls or guys? The originality/creativity?

:)

Entertainment, pure and simple.

I agree. Sometimes the bad acting is so funny it becomes entertaining.  ;D

depends on the movie...

I can forgive bad dialogue if the acting is good (or the actors are good looking)  or if it's an action flick...

in my drama's tho I really want good writing. 

I like seemless directing. If I can watch a film and forget who's directed it I'm happy... but really good directing turns me on...  what I hate is directing that overpowers a film... particularly if the director is really artsy and seems to be making choices based on style rather than substance.    There's a film called suspect zero....one of the worst movies I ever watched partially because of the writing but mostly because of the director.  sadly it has Aaron Eckhardt and Ben Kingsley in it so you'd expect a better film.

escapist entertainment  ;)

Can't Stop the Music is hands down one of my favorite "bad films" I have watched it 150 times.... and I will watch it again soon as I get some free time.  ;D

Exactly.  Saw Godzilla yesterday...plenty of things didn't add up but it was entertaining and I loved it.

Yeah, 'artsy' in excess can cross the line into pretentiousness. The trick for the director is to balance technique and 'art', at least that's what I'm thinking.

When I watch a film I judge my rating by how much I am 'gripped' by the film. If the acting, script, or any other part in the production of the film is 'bad' my 'gripped' interest has gone.

...or the Japanese original from 1954 ?

I know you. Lol

I have yet to see it. It was the premiere I didn't get to attend bc of the great hair fiasco ....

My friend got great pics!!!  I'll see it eventually

You won't be disappointed.  :)

cool... I will probably go see it when I come back from AZ (end of the month) but I will see Xmen while in AZ because that one looks FANTASTIC!

Initially, it is the pure entertainment factor. Was I still buzzing about it when I left the theater?  Then after that has all died down ... Is it still memorable? Dp I want to go again?

Many movies are pretty much forgotten as I leave the theater.  In fact, I usually vcant even recall some movie titles that I have seen. If it's a good one ... I'll remember all about it ... and probably, researched the actors and what else they may have been in.

Thanks for reminding me, that is another way I rated how good a film is, by saying how soon I wish to see it again. "The King's Speech" was as soon as possible for me, and saw within a fortnight. If I do not wish to to the film, means it was bad!

I rate a film based on acting and the dialogue.
