As we use so before adjective like "the movie is so interesting," but can I say negative way like "the movie is not so interesting" means I want to say someone the movie not good?

Yes, you can say that. For future questions, you may prefer to ask on our sister site, English Language Learners, which is dedicated to helping people learn English as a foreign language. Despite its name, this site is for more academic questions of English than practical ones.– Dan BronCommented Jan 2, 2017 at 19:22
