He's talking about people who broadcast opinions so uninformed that they don't know the difference between a problem and a trope. Not people sharing a thoughtful opinion that actually acknowledges the movie and story.

Opinions aren't precious gems that need to be valued and protected. Not all opinions are valuable. In fact, most aren't. This used to be common understanding, along with "don't share your name on the internet", "you can't trust politicians", and "don't believe everything you read". All of these have been flipped around, for worse.

So if your golden opinion is that pointing out a movie follows the Heroes Journey and that means it sucks, then that's the kind of opinion Nolan is talking about, and he is right.
