7 Oscars and $720 million worldwide. I'd call that a success.
For full disclosure these were the Oscars it won: Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score, Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing
Minus best director lots of technical awards which it deserved and he won that award for the visuals as well. It was a beautiful film and I enjoyed it for the most part. I did shake my head during the fire extinguisher/jet pack scene though. And I will say it is a film I really have no desire to ever watch again

No one is saying it won awards for its screenplay or acting. Despite most of its awards being in the technical categories (awards it fully deserved), it also won Best Director - the second biggest prize of the night - and also won the most awards of any film from 2013.
Should it have won Best Picture based on my criteria? Yes. Should it have won Best Picture based on the historic criteria of the Oscars? No.
