I dunno dude. Playing on your phone by the bathrooms and knowingly wasting your money, then passing judgment on a film you didn't actually sit through because you have a poor attention span for anything that isn't typical Hollywood, then labeling anybody that dared enjoy it is just setting yourself up to be mocked. But at least you were honest.
I don't think liking or disliking that film says much about a person's movie taste, but I'll at least respect the negative reviews of those thar stuck it out and give the movie a chance only to disagree over someone that couldn't sit still long enough to see the whole thing and evidently made up their mind before the movie was half through.
I'm actually thankful that there are people out there who were open minded enough to take a couple hours outside their Hollywood comfort zone and give something different a chance. It helps to spur more originality in the future, rather than just furthering the demand for endless sequels and rehashes.
Personally I didn't like the pacing, but the themes, creativity and humour throughout were executed very well. It wasn't out if this world, but it had heart, and it was something wholly unique. And that's more than you can say for 97% of the rest of what's out there right now.

Hahahaha, guy it was ####in terrible. I think that determination can be made after two hours sitting there. Attention span has nothing to do with it. You like basic movies...no shame in that and it's okay to own it. Believe me, I'm totally against endless sequels and rehashes, too. But this? Absolute garbage and filled with boomer humour. It's "quirkiness" got so old so fast for me. Maybe you like staring at goldfish swimming in a bowl or something else that just kind of goes nowhere? I get my fill pretty quick of boring stuff. It's like, yeah, I get it, we're just going to keep doing this over and over for 180 minutes? Glad you liked it, but honestly, it was bad.
Also, didn't leave halfway through. Left with about 20 minutes to go and happy I did so.
