This is something I've been thinking of for a while, ever since I read that one FILM CRIT HULK article. Can anyone here come up with a single movie whose primarily fault was a plot hole? Like, no underlying problems of tone, structure, or characterization; the problem strictly is the plot hole.

you have to get a couple of things going at once
like, listen to this limp bizkit song
p much everything wrong with this song could be excused if it were in the context of other, better things. but as it is literally everything about it is terrible and the crappiness of all the individual elements shines through like a dandy little acetylene lantern that costs 3 dollars
an extreme example, sure, but i think i've made my point

Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead

Also, in some genres the plot really is the absolute most important thing, and everything else is secondary. Like a "fair play" murder mystery. The primary draw is figuring out whodunnit and how they dunnit, so a contradiction in the evidence, or an M.O. that breaks the established rules of the setting, will bring the whole film crashing down.
i say this on the basis that they're irritating and make it harder to suspend disbelief
the ending wasn't the best, but i didn't find it a disappointment
I'm not saying you're wrong or whatever necessarily, I'm just saying it comes across as a little weird.
Super 8 was not a work of art, but it was great fun and eminently rewatchable, i think
Which is stupid, because I'm pretty sure I've never seen a single super 8 film in my entire life, and I likely never will.
Honestly like, I have a very low tolerance for movies in general and I don't really know why.
i interpreted it as a self-conscious homage to Spielberg's movies, rather than an attempt to emulate them closely *shrug*
