479578, When you don't understand a film, do you consider it bad?

this is a spinoff from a reply in the Most Disappointing Movies thread.

Me? I reserve judgement on good/bad until I think I understand it better, I think it's foolish to say something is bad or good if you didn't get it. You can say you enjoyed it or didn't, but until you get it you have no idea whether it's actually good or bad.

I remember Bartek making a thread once about 2001 being a terrible movie after watching it once, completely unwilling to give the film the benefit of the doubt considering he really didn't understand what the movie was about on even a basic level.
