Stephanie is not here to write reviews based on whether they are going to be popular or not. She's here to give her opinion as a critic. Last time I checked, that's what a critic does. We can agree, disagree, or agree to disagree.
Personally, I like her work, and I enjoy her writing. The fact that she "goes against the grain" is what makes her reviews interesting and original. It gives one something to think about.
Show some originality yourselves. Give your own reasons for liking the movie other than "it's popular". I'd certainly like to read a well-written rebuttal. That's why Steph has a job; she makes people think. However, it takes some skill to WRITE, and write well, presenting your case, doesn't it. Which is where you come in, maybe? Let's see if you've got what it takes.
It's easy to criticize someone - not so easy to make the effort and present a coherent analysis. Unless you can do so, you have no right to rip into someone's work.
