Does popular = good?

What is "good", though? There isn't, that I'm aware of, some objective master list of the qualities that make up "good". If "good" to you means "as judged by the average Netflix user who rates movies", then that #2 Netflix ranking is indeed all the proof you need. Some people think "good" and popular are mutually exclusive. Some people think good movies are judged more by their visuals than their story. Some people think good movies are the ones that provide the most complete escape from reality.

But, for some people, popular does equal good.
