Unpopular Film Opinions

[Laddy]

My turn.

Terrence Malick made Tree of Life much, much, worse than it had to be.

Hunchback of Notre Dame is the best Disney film of the 90's, minus Pixar.

The Star Wars movies, while not bad, completely misses the point of science fiction and should not be considered to be in the same genre as Blade Runner, 2001: A Space Odyssey, or other such films.

Citizen Kane is legitimately one of my favorite films.

The Hurt Locker is maybe the best film of the last five years, with The Dark Knight second and Up third.

The Social Network did not deserve Best Picture.

A Scanner Darkly is very, very, underrated.

Across The Universe is mediocre.

Despite his track record, Shymalan did wonders with The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable and he deserves as much praise for those as he deserves absolute derision for most anything.

Also, not sure if this is unpopular or what, but The Artist was genuinely good in a non-pretentious filmophile wanker way.

finally we agree on something

[Raistlin]

The Lord of the Rings movies are better than the books.

I've been saying that for years.

I smurfing hated the movie Ghostbusters.

I was pretty certain coming into this thread that I'd see some truly awful opinions, mostly coming from Sarah. But this has just blown everything else out of the water. This may be the worst thing that's ever been posted on EoFF.

My awful opinions are the reasons you and Huxley keep me around.

Oh right, well...

[Shorty]

What are you saying?

Nope. Raistkini remains the best and worst thing to ever grace this message board.

[Raistlin]

I'm honored.

[Jowy]

If the first ten minutes of "Up" don't make you feel utter sadness, you probably don't have a reflection either.

[Cuchulainn]

The shower scenes in Schindler's List should have been longer.

[I Took the Red Pill]

The last airbender was high treason.

I've never heard anyone claim otherwise

Too bad we stopped burning witches in the seventeenth century, Clo. That statement is a one-way ticket to Massachusetts. :aimcry:

We never burned witches. They were either hanged or crushed to death.

The period of witchhunting in England remains one of the most interesting areas of history to me, in particular the life of Matthew Hopkins.

Denmark was infamous for burning witches like crazy bastards, though. Scotland did a view dozen that way as well, I believe. So yeah, send Clo to Scotland (and through time), then burn her.

The Lady in the Water was a BEAUTIFUL movie.

Black Swan is the perfect artistic translation of watching someone (especially someone you love) go insane.

[Sephex]

The Star Wars prequels aren't the WORST THING EVER. They are merely below average sci-fi movies that failed to live up to the originals, which no one in their right mind should have expected. Not that big of deal, everyone!

That being said, I LOVE the hell out of the Red Letter Media Plinkett reviews on them.

[Lonely Paper Star]

The last airbender was high treason.

THIS. A LOT.

Then again, I think all people think this. XD

The Social Network did not deserve Best Picture.

... Wait, it won Best Picture? This is news to me. DDDDD:
