I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

Tarantino is trash and Ruins movies that should be good with weird edginess. Django unchained would be 10/10 with someone else as director. I never saw a good movie from him. I DK how death proof scores as high as it did. I gave that a 2/20. what a waste or kurt Russell and other good actors.

Dune is complete crap from the soundtrack to the script. The characters are as thick as cardboard and their interactions motivate nothing. It's full of slow motion nonsense, flying metal dragonflies and Zimmer's horns. These days filmmakers are convinced visuals make storytelling. They don't. Dialogue does and here there's not a single line I remember.

Every James Bond movie with Daniel Craig is crap; even Die Another Day was better.

Indiana Jones 4 is a great entry of the series. It's just as slapstick and ridiculous fun as the rest of the series (I didn't enjoy the 5th one as much though).

And yea that is an unpopular opinion, can't tell you how many have disagreed with me as soon as I say that, both in real life and online.

Welp got a feeling I've got a doozy of an unpopular opinion, but that's why we're here. I don't like any of Tarantino's films. I find all the characters unlikeable or insufferable. I also fell asleep in the theater watching Kill Bill 2.

Tho it's a show and watched only the first season, but Star Trek: Lower Decks is kinda ruining the whole Star Trek world to me.

It's an OK cartoon, not bad at all. but so not Star Trek to me, at least the first season wasn't. I get it, it's the "Go" of the series, the cool and hip genz implementation, you either like it or not, and honestly, I kinda like it, but not as Star Trek.

My favorite Mad Max film is Thunderdome.

Boondock Saints is trash.

Can't think of another movie I remember loving as a teen, and liking less as a grownup than this movie. Directing, plot, premise, are just as contrived as a film could be. One out of seven rating (and the one is only because of the rice).

Mine is that all of the Matrix films are very overrated.

[–] SlurpDaddySlushy@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I liked the first one. Got super bored with the second. Never watched the third. I feel like the first one should have been the only one. It was a fine stand alone film.

In Alien 3, not only was it a good thing that Hicks and Newt died in the beginning, but that it was absolutely necessary for the film to thematically fit the trilogy.

I couldn't sit through Pulp Fiction. By the milkshake scene I was done with these characters.

Warren Beaty and Faye Dunaway did the right thing announcing La La Land as the best picture.
