Even then it's just weighing opinions, and as we all know by now, all opinions carry the same weight. Let's say Guy A feels about Sin City the way you do, and Guy B thinks that the stories were ridiculous, the acting was sub-par, and the style was excessive. Where's your comparison now? Now I agree that there are cases when it's easier to say one film is better than another, but even then there are no facts as one man's trash is another's treasure. I was chatting with a friend the other day and we got on the topic of Tarantino movies, and he made the observation that "Pulp Fiction was a better movie, but <he> liked Reservoir Dogs more." In that case, who's to say what was superior? I've always seen it as if you enjoy it more, it's a better movie (to you).
