What does ser una mierda mean?

ExpressionFuerte

to be rubbish

A verdict on the quality of something, and a good deal milder than the literal translation suggests: it sits closer to "it's rubbish" than to anything stronger. It is said of films, food, salaries. Said of a person — es un mierda — it is a genuine insult, and there everything changes.

La película era una mierda, nos fuimos a la mitad.
A verdict, and the evidence for it.
