Ratings are based on a mix of the absolute aesthetic value of the art (i.e. its disposition to self-actualize the kinds of communities and agents that could possibly engage with the art) and how the art affected it personally. So, it might recognize that an artwork is very good, and that may influence its score even if it personally got very little out of it.
A lot of (usually lib) folks who evaluate art tend to fetishize "craft" and take moralizing the content to be "beneath" art criticism, which is just an obviously indefensible theory of aesthetic value, a myth which was propagandistically proliferated during World War II. What's more is that people lie when they say they are providing morally neutral art criticism anyway. its scores are unabashedly holistic, let all the components of all media weigh on its value.

Transformers One (2024) - Rated 20 Jan 2025
"Genuinely perplexed why this got such widespread approval. Bad character writing and none of the changes from the comics were good or necessary for the adaptation. Hollow story with empty politics. How anyone can think this is better than what came before is mind boggling, the IDW timeline, flawed (making Pax a cop lol), was still rich and had organic character arcs that developed according to cause and effect. Should be more clear this is good for the infantilizing expectations of kids' movies."

"Aoba Tsukishimi is a really, really good character, hampered by the fact that her decisions serve a theme that disguises itself as female empowerment and in fact is a gesture towards simply accepting the unfair, gendered distribution of recognition and labor. Could've been much better."
Yona of the Dawn (2014) - Rated 23 Feb 2024
