I'm not the type to worry about it because there are plenty of films with terrible scripts and poor acting and pointless dialog that I enjoy, and when reviewers or friends point out these flaws I'm usually aware of them enough to agree and still smile about the movie. Some others aren't able to separate out these elements and feel ok within themselves for enjoying a problematic movie. All they hear is "what you like is stupid" and they take it personally.
Confidentially, people who can't parse this out aren't particularly intelligent.
