Unpopular Film Opinions

[Forsaken Lover]

I'm just gonna ignore the LOTR movie lovers. They have some nice music and acting but...better than the books?
Yeah no.

My Opinions:

ALL Harry Potter movies suck. No exceptions and no doubts. I've been an HP fan for over a decade and for about that length of time I've been a firm detractor of all the movies. Each movie follows the same formula:

1. Take the storyline of the book. Then take a crap on it and go read the SparkNotes version instead. Make a script out of that, making absolutely sure that you cram everything together in such a clumsy fashion that it robs every scene of any emotional power.

2. Make sure the acting cast is 95% awful. Bump it up to 96% after Richard Harris passes away.

3. Don't properly use Alan Rickman's amazing talent so you correctly portray Snape. Make sure he is always calm, always deadpan, always NOT AT ALL LIKE HIS CANON SELF.
He should have been half-crazed and screaming at the end of Half-Blood Prince but noooooo.

I smurfing hate those movies man. There is nothing redeeming about any of them at all. No, not even the chick who plays Hermione. I have Rule 34 for that.

Moving on...

The Star Wars Original Trilogy is pretty bad. Good acting, music and effects (for the time) prop up a thoroughly unoriginal story with bland as as old bread characters.
The lightsaber fights are also just laughable. The mighty Jedi and Sith fight like complete idiots.

The first three Pirates of the Caribbean films are good. Dead Man's Chest only barely fits the bill but I still like it.


Aaron Eckhart's Harvey Dent/Two-Face was the real star of The Dark Knight, not Heath Ledger's Joker.
