Films are art.
It is possible for someone to both love art and to really dislike a certain artist.
Stalker after two different viewings, continues to be a film for me. Basically every professional critic (and almost everyone on sites like this one) considers it an all-time great masterpiece.
Does that mean I don't love film? Is my reaction to the film (which is an honest, good faith reaction) "wrong"?
Loving movies doesn't mean bowing down to critical consensus.

I don’t like lord of the rings, but of course Jackson is a very good or great director and the trilogy is amazing.
I think the opinion of a producer, actor or critic is more reliable than a simple film enthusiast. In judging the quality of a product.
Whatever people like him or not; Nolan is a very good director, who is "polarizing" only with film snobs, due to his extreme popularity.
Even if he’s not the best director I just love inception and the dark knight too much, to not defend him :P
