if condition always returns true within array iteration

as part of a code along for a Udemy Web Development Bootcamp (by Colt Steele), I have the following javascript that simply lists items within an array, changing the console.log text depending on a boolean "hasWatched" condition.

Despite copying the code-along character for character after my own attempt, the console.log always returns the array items as true, regardless of whether I try this within a standard for loop, or a forEach loop. I've posted my code below. The script is connected to an html file that has nothing beyond a boiler plate, script link and title.

console.log("Script Connected")

// Create an array of objects. Each movie should have a title, rating and hasWatched properties. Iterate through the array and print out results and whether it has been hasWatched

var movieArr = [
    {
        title: "LOTR", 
        rating: 5, 
        hasWatched: true
    },
    {
        title: "Fast and the Furious", 
        hasWatched: false, 
        rating: 1
    },
    {
        title: "Let the Right One In", 
        rating: 5, 
        hasWatched: false
    }
]

//first attempt
for(i = 0; i < movieArr.length; i++){
    if(movieArr[i].hasWatched = true){
        console.log("You have seen " + movieArr[i].title + ": Rating: " + movieArr[i].rating);
    } else {
        console.log("You have not seen " + movieArr[i].title + ": Rating: " + movieArr[i].rating);
    }
}

//second attempt 
movieArr.forEach(function(i){
    var result = "You have ";
    if(i.hasWatched){
        result += "watched ";
    } else {
        result += "have not watched ";
    }
    result += "\"" + i.title + "\" - ";
    result += i.rating + " stars";
    console.log(result)
});

The console log returns the following:

movieDB.js:1 Script Connected
movieDB.js:26 You have seen LOTR: Rating: 5
movieDB.js:26 You have seen Fast and the Furious: Rating: 1
movieDB.js:26 You have seen Let the Right One In: Rating: 5
movieDB.js:42 You have watched "LOTR" - 5 stars
movieDB.js:42 You have watched "Fast and the Furious" - 1 stars
movieDB.js:42 You have watched "Let the Right One In" - 5 stars

As you can see, both versions of the iteration ignore array object variables identified as false. What am I missing here?

Many thanks! Rick
