Yeah IMO a movie just needs to have enough story to service the genre conventions and character arcs, i.e. to yield a feeling of satisfaction from having watched it.The whole debate of story or lack thereof is weird to me. Why does being more blatantly deep or complex make a movie better??
To me, it's like food. It's cool when people make these elaborate dishes with fancy ingredients, but man, sometimes all a main course needs to be is a simple pan-seared steak, mid-rare, salt, pepper, butter and it can be one of the greatest meals someone has ever had.
