Wasn't

Wasn't that movie so much interesting?

Does the speaker think that movie was so much interesting?

If the answer to that question is 'No, it wasn't', then the next speaker thinks it wasn't interesting at all or it wasn't so much interesting but not bad?

Thanks

I think it would be more natural to say:
"That movie wasn't so interesting, was it?"

I understand. Thank you, Annvan.

'Wasn't that movie so interesting?' doesn't mean the speaker indicates that movie is so interesting?

Not necessarily. With a sarcastical tone, it may mean the contrary.

Also, I'd say it:

"Wasn't that an interesting movie?"

(which can be ironical too).
