I am going to see it tomorrow, but you are right in one respect. Most people wouldn't know what a plot is let alone looking for holes in it. I mean wtf, everyone is a professional screenwriter?

I have had arguements with people about this very thing before and the fact is this: They either didn't understand something, their attention span didn't allow them to pick up on foreshadowing of events that pay off later in the movie or simply don't grasp symbology or historical or scientific concepts so they boil it down to being a bad movie full of plot holes.

I nailed some sap on here on his critique of the new "The Earth Stood Still" movie and it was all because he didn't pay attention and lacked a good education.

Here is the link if you want to read it... I may have been a bit harsh on him.
