Your unpopular movie opinions

ChristHimself! · 09-08-2006, 04:12 AM

No bitching about people's unpopular opinions. Just post yours.

The Aviator was boring and drawn out.

Tom Hank's best role was in Big.

The original superman movies were ok at best, I have no desire whatsoever to ever see them again, or to see the new one.

Jim Carrey played an interesting Riddler.

Bond movies are pretty meh. Regardless of who is playing Bond.

The scariest character in any movie is the mystery man from Lost Highway.

Red Dragon is well better than Manhunter. Cox is crap as 'Lecktor' - That guy is a very overrated actor and he's got too high an opinion of himself.

Hannibal is actually pretty good. Gary Oldman is excellent as Mason Verger.

Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick were actually quite enjoyable.

As much as I love John McClane, Jack Burton is the best action hero ever.

There is something undeniably awesome about the wicker man soundtrack.

Will Ferrell is pretty crap outside of Zoolander (where he is actually enjoyable) and anchorman (where he is bearable)

Marky Mark saps the joy from movies.

Michael Caine always plays the same character.

i've gotta say...i agree with all of those points. except for the mystery man from lost highway being the scariest character ever. i don't know who i would choose over him, though.

Izzle · 09-08-2006, 04:37 AM

Cheaper By The Dozen 2 is a great family film.

jk

Donnie Darko is really thought-provoking in a philosophical way (but you have to watch it several times to fully understand it).

Shapan · 09-08-2006, 04:51 AM

the lord of the rings trilogy is trash.

i prefer episodes I-III to episodes IV-VI in the star wars saga.

Xteenmachine · 09-08-2006, 06:44 AM

have you seen i <3 huckabees, christ?

Shparticus · 09-08-2006, 06:45 AM

The Princess Bride is, possibly, the best movie ever made. Also, it was much better than the book.

Nope, heard the evil one is in it though, so I won't be seeing it any time soon.

Xteenmachine · 09-08-2006, 06:52 AM

you're missing out. he's great in that

killer_tomato · 09-08-2006, 07:11 AM

I couldn't agree more, it shouldn't just be about that, but to go along with the deep and meaningful thought provoking films, it's sometimes just fun to get a bit tipsy and go along with a few mates to see something that you know's just going to be mindless fun.

YAHMEAN!?

GlasgowKiss · 09-08-2006, 07:25 AM

Sad movies suck. Horror movies suck.

GlasgowKiss · 09-08-2006, 07:25 AM

Monotonous psychological thriller/horror films by David Lynch, suck.

HIYOOO PAUL.

Quaid sucks cocks in hell.

myosis · 09-08-2006, 07:35 AM

-punchdrunk love is intense
-the lord of the rings is butchered, all the mythology has been leveled which makes it pointless.
-the terminator & terminator 2 are not special effects movie, the effects are there to support the story and not the other way around. terminator 3 is just a special effects movie and that's where it failed miserably.

mxzombie · 09-08-2006, 08:00 AM

wedding crashers wasn't very funny

Lie · 09-08-2006, 08:05 AM

Magnolia sucked.

The Pashing Smumpkin · 09-08-2006, 09:16 AM

M Night Shyamalan can do no wrong.

Lady in the Water is actually pretty fucking great.

Lord of The Rings Trilogy is the best movie ever made. (I look at all three movies as one of the same)

Freddy Kruger absolutely shits all over every other movie maniac ever conceived

Aeon Flux is a pretty descent sci fi, at least better then the 2 matrix sequels

Besides the Spidermans, Batman Begins, and Burtons Batman films, ALL OTHER COMIC BOOK HERO FILMS SUCK ASS. (This aint gonna be a popular opinion but I've never understood why Hellboy and the Xmens were so revered...

)

alisonmonster · 09-08-2006, 09:30 AM

The Wilson brothers (esp Owen) are terrible and unfunny
Wes Anderson movies are too contrived to be enjoyable
Elephant put me to sleep
I like pretty much everything Spielberg has directed

there's probably lots more, i just can't think of them right now

the · 09-08-2006, 09:31 AM

i wish johnny depp would stop acting already.

-yah, elephant bored me
-independance day is entertaining
-stardust memories is the best woody allen film
-star wars episode I was pretty good and episode III was too much.
-i don't think spider-man movies or other modern comic book movies are worth seeing and i haven't seen them.
-CGI hurts my eyes and has hurt a lot of movies

scouse_dave · 09-08-2006, 10:27 AM

I didn't like any of the following:
Lord of the Rings trilogy
Matrix trilogy
Pulp Fiction

...but I really love Freddy Got Fingered

avian chaos · 09-08-2006, 10:37 AM

Lady In The Water was one of the most beautiful, poignant films I have ever seen.

ChristHimself! · 09-08-2006, 10:41 AM

I want to see lady in the water, but the dire Signs has meant I will always be suspicious from now on, whenever he releases a new movie.

Debaser · 09-08-2006, 10:44 AM

Wet Hot American Summer was amatuerish shite.

Orenthal James · 09-08-2006, 11:02 AM

i think i was the only 7th grader who loved 'contact'. i still don't know many people who like it.

myosis · 09-08-2006, 11:05 AM

oh yeah, the matrix to me is just a huge pile of nerd shit.

09-08-2006, 11:43 AM

i'm pretty sure the fact that i think elephant is amazing is a way more unpopular opinion

by the way, i'm going to ignore the thread creators instructions and say that most of you dont have unpopular opinions, just stupid ones
