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

Freddie Got Fingered is a dadaist masterpiece.

Shrek 2 is mid as fuck and the cover of I Need a Hero was its only saving grace. I really don't get why people ham it up as one of the best films of all time.

I’m a huge Star Wars fan. I really liked the Sequel Trilogy. Someone can be a Star Wars nerd, and still enjoy The Last Jedi. I understand why fans hate it, but for me it's fun to watch. I don’t like to take it too seriously. Also, I enjoyed Solo. My mantra Trust no one and you will never be betrayed is from that movie.

That all said, I love the lore! Jar Jar the Sith, Darth Plagueis, the fan films, the theory—It’s so cool.

I don’t like to take it too seriously.

I am a massive Star Wars fan and cannot understand people who expect it to be high cinema. It's a series about space wizards and WW2-style air battles. Like all fantasy/SF, it is occasionally commentary on real-world stuff, but it isn't trying to be Star Trek. Things are allowed to just be fun

The Dark Knight has fucking terrible editing and a lot of bad, hammy acting. The opening bank heist is just bad, with really on-the-nose dialogue delivered pretty badly...even William Fichtner seems like he's trying a little too hard, and he's an otherwise good actor.

I know the editing has been covered in some YouTube essay that made the rounds a number of years ago so maybe that's not such an unpopular opinion, but it really sticks out to me like a sore thumb.

Before anyone gets totally mad at me, I still enjoy the overall story, a lot of the action, and I think both Ledger and Bale (dumb batman voice aside) are great. Also, Morgan Freeman, Michal Caine and whatshisname who plays Harvey Dent are also very good too.

I don't like the lord of the rings series.

It's not bad bad but with that budget, actors etc it could have been so much better :-/

The hobbit: kind of the same feeling.

Upvoted for actual unpopular opinion.

Horror movies are unfairly judged because most people who do not like horror movies watch them for the wrong reasons.

[–] serpineslair@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (5 children)

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original) was a terrible film. The only reason people say it is the greatest classic horror film is because of nostalgia. The acting was horrible and it wasn't scary in the slightest (I understand it was probably for the time).

Inception is one of the worst executions of an interesting idea. My imagination can imagine anything. Hollywood's? Well I guess you imagined too hard so now there's people with guns. Oh and this applies to everyone.

Indiana Jones is boring.

If Pulp Fiction is on, unless it's been a few years I'll probably switch the channel, if Django Unchained is on though...I'm grabbing a snack and watching it everytime. This isn't to say Pulp Fiction sucks, just think Django's more entertaining.
