I hate watching movies with friend when I'm not sure I'll like it. If I don't like it, I'm not good at pretending it was a good movie. I'll do everything in my power to not hurt their feelings, or be rude or anything like that. I'll probably tell them it was good. But in the moment watching it they'll probably be able to tell, and then THEY feel bad, and then I feel bad, and now nobody is having a good time watching the movie.

Now if we go into it with the understanding the movie is bad and we are all here go laugh at it, then it's always better with friends.

If it's something they love, I'll watch it by myself and lie to them later.

I love bringing bad movies to movie night and making fun of terrible effects, clunky dialogue, bad acting, and extras who look at the camera.

If you want you could try saying softer things like "I didn't love it, but" and follow with conversation about aspects you did enjoy. That way you both get a better picture of your tastes and can make better recommendations.
