Part of my enjoyment of a movie is that the plot maintains a level of consistency throughout. This generally requires a level of writing that most producers/directors aren't willing to spend money for. While some might be more aggressive in what they label plot holes or whatever, it's a reasonable metric that lots of complaints about plot holes is a good sign I won't like the movie.

Most of the time, people don't even know what a plot hole is though. A lot of times, it just means that the movie didn't explain a unimportant detail. I saw it when Rouge One came out and people were excited to "finally have the plot hole about how the vent shaft could have been included in the design of the Death Star".
