It is awesome. But it's not a good movie.
what does that even mean
It means that it's not a well crafted film. But it's still fun to watch in spite of its flaws. I can put on Temple and marvel at its badness and be entertained by its more entertaining moments. But that doesn't mean its a competent film. Its the very definition of that thing you don't believe in, actually.
That's absurd. It's an incredibly well-crafted film. You can fault the film for many subjective issues, but it's cinematic craftsmanship isn't one of them.
Obviously, I disagree.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Brazil is okay and 12 Monkeys is meh. Haven't seen FK.

Time Bandits, Fear and Loathing, and Imaginarium are all good, though.

Yeah, I'd:

Fear and Loathing
12 Monkeys
Brazil
Fisher King
Holy Grail

But those could change on any given day. Those are all just lights out great films, I think. Brilliant.
