In short, it sounds like you use substance to mean it's a good movie.
That seems a poor use for a word, to simply replace another perfectly good word with no additional context or nuance.

    That's not remotely what I said. There are very deep movies with substance that I just don't care about or can't get into.

    Now it seems like you're assuming a good movie simply means a movie you like.
    Which also isn't great. I know there are lots of good movies that just aren't for me, and I don't enjoy all the much. But I'll absolutely defend their quality.

    But if I'm totally off base here, I'd appreciate more clarification.
