Absolutely. Brutalism has its place, it's an art, and like with any art you can execute it either poorly or well. I think given its name it likely shouldn't evoke feelings of boredom or disgust.
We have a funny example here in Sweden where this old brick building was torn down.
And replaced with this!
I wouldn't say that the first building was beautiful or anything, but it was definitely more pleasant to look at than the new building. The ironic part is that the new building houses the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology's architecture branch.
