C'est nul vs Il est nul
The quiz asked "It's lame", "_____ nul".
The answer that it wants is "C'est nul".
Why can't it be "Il est nul"?

The answer is providing an opinion with an adjective which it is applying to a specific thing - "that film".
That sounds a lot like case 2b in the lesson:
"2. Cases expressing opinions or simple statements (adjectives) about prementioned things"
"b. il est/elle est for statements and opinions related to specific things"
This question relates to:
