I guess that depends a lot upon how "poorly" is defined. If the work does not fit a predefined template, then it might be considered a poor work. But, it also could just be different. In the end it is what the majority of the consumers of the work think that will decide if the work is poorly done or not. I don't think that any author purposely tries to produce a work that a large majority of targeted readers would consider poorly done, and those targeted readers are the critics who actually count. Anything else is really just a matter of opinion, and not a matter of fact. Obviously, the work in question here is not likely to be the subject of study in the future like some of the classics are today, but that just makes it transitory, not necessarily poorly done for it's purpose of current entertainment in our current culture.
