I don't think one can truly be objective with movies anyways as we all have our biases/preferences. so ultimately what movies are good and what is not is pretty much all subjective (who knows, maybe some technical aspects are less subjective etc but you get the gist).
but if a movie is boring to the viewer, I can't fault him in the slightest for not finishing it as the movie is clearly a failure at that point to that viewer as even if he forced himself to finish it, his opinion would still be basically the same in that it's boring as if someone gives a movie a fair amount of time (say around 40 min or something like that (say at least 30min+)) and it's like watching paint dry for that viewer, the movie is just straight up boring and it's not worth finishing it and I don't blame them in the slightest for turning it off and calling it total crap as I do the same thing as I am not quick to write off a movie but I do stumble into movies like that here and there which, over the long run, comes out to about 1 out of every 14 movies I have seen that it occurs that I cannot finish watching a movie due to genuine boredom. I see your point, but in this particular case, it felt like he was claiming that his subjective view was objective. Maybe, but well made does not automatically translate into a interesting movie.
because I am sure I could guesstimate a bunch of movies that would be considered 'well made' but that the overall movie is just average or so when I bottom line my overall interest in it. There are movies I find to be well-made yet uninteresting. MOONLIGHT isn't one of them. Critics and award voters felt the same way. Otherwise, they would've made it obvious.
