That tone of arrogant superiority is why. This is clearly rage baiting, it would have made it to the second sentence without insulting its potential audience if it wasn't.
It's literally rage bait
Why else would he be writing about a movie that came out twenty years ago?
Might as well write an article about how shitty you think Lawrence of Arabia is.
The trick is this to have genuinely held opinions without publishing poorly written articles about it. I do that all the time, and I can warmly recommend others to try it, too!
Calling people who disagree with you misguided when it comes to purely matter of tastes is not just talking about one's opinion, but is in fact insulting other people for no reason. So fuck the author of this particular article.
Not every opinion is worth sharing. Even if you do, talking annoys only one person, whereas publishing articles online annoys the whole world.
You do get the difference between talking and publishing though, right? And the fact that not all opinions are worth sharing? The "whole world" was a figure of speech.
