Do people exxagerate how much they dislike movies?

From saying a movie is unwatchable, to poorly constructed/cohesive and to say they have walked out of the theater or that it's the worst movie ever made/a travesty, do people exaggerate how much they dislike a film?

More often than not, a harmless movie is torn to shreds by both professional critics and audiences, but the audience generally is much more cynical and vitriolic against them; whereas movie critics move on, audiences who disliked a movie want to ensure they didn't like it and tear it to shreds. Is this an exaggeration? For me, a movie has to be really awful for it to have an exaggerated dislike, and I mean it to hateful films such as the God's Not Dead movies.

The near worst a movie can be is boring, which I think most of these annual bad comedies or horror films are. The basic point is, though: do people really think a random movie is "the worst ever done"? Did they really walk out the theater, or is that just a purposefully constructed exaggeration to make the product seem worse than it is or to gain social approval by hating on something?

Edit: Sorry for the typo; typed "exxagerate" instead of "exaggerate"
