"Actually," it isn't. Whether a book or movie is good or not good is ALWAYS opinion, even when it comes to the classics. A lot of other factors influence the success of a film or book, such as marketing, subject, time of release, word of mouth, etc... For example, the movie Wild Wild West was PHENOMENAL at the box office, but MOST people hated it. This disproves your idea of a movie or book necessarily being good if many people like it or if it is successful.

This is probably also true for Final Fantasy VII and VIII. Since VII came out first, many people prefer it to VIII, but it is VIII that is the better game overall.
