-Timothy Dalton and Sean Connery is 1-2 when it comes to who's the best Bond
-Die Hard 2 is an underrated movie and is better than the sequels after it
-Ghostbusters 2 is better than the first one. Where else can you see the Titanic, a moving Statue of Liberty, and Jackie Wilson in one movie?!?!
-Dawn of the Dead (2004) is the best zombie movie that ever had Zombied!!
-Brandon Routh played a very good Superman and I don't see why people said he didn't. On that note, I didn't like Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor. Hell John Shea from Lois & Clark played a better, conniving Lex.
-ID4 is the best holiday movie that ever came out and I would put it against It's a Wonderful Life (though I've never seen the movie in it's entirety, the parts I've seen put me to sleep)
-Top 3 super hero movies for me goes DKR, Superman 2, then Iron Man
-Bane from DKR was a better villian than Joker in TDK
-Rocky III is the best movie in the series because at least Clubber was a fair antagonist who at least worked hard to beat Rocky the first time. Sure Rocky took his training for granted but after the beating he got from Apollo AND still won the championship, his luck had ran out.

For the most part, Michael Bay actually makes entertaining movies.

Besides the ridiculous beginning, I prefer Rocky V to Rocky IV. Rocky in Russia was just plain stupid.
Vertigo is one of my least favorite Hitchcock movies (I've seen them all). His worst is Dial M for Murder.
The car chase is Bullitt is far better than the one in French Connection. And the car chase in The Seven-Ups was almost on par and should be included when they talk about great car chases.
Porky's and it's sequels are prime examples of how to not make a coming of age story, especially when every single character is an unlikeable shithead.
Marcia Lucas had more to do with the initial success of the original Star Wars more than George did.

I've always thought that the cheesiest part of the movie is when he's giving a shout out to his son and his son mouths "I love you" in front of the TV. my brother and I always assumed that his friends that were watching the fight with him goes on to make fun of him the rest of the night.

Minus a few exceptions, the careers of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro have been largely mediocre since 2000

Hell, Pacino was on fire in the 70's and didn't make a single bad movie. Since the 70's, he's only had 6 good ones, others being mediocre, and most being terrible.

DC's direct-to-DVD animated films > most live action superhero films I didn't even know they made animated films! Any suggestions? I also remembered another one: - Cannibal Holocaust is utter garbage, regardless of whether you treat it as an unapologetic exploitation film (which Deodato openly admitted it was supposed to be) or a social "message" about violence in media (which apparently amounts to "it sure does exist"). By the way, the idea that a film that contains animal snuff might be condemning fictional violence is both laughable and hypocritical, not to mention many people who found that film clever are the same who dismiss Saw as "torture porn". But seriously, nothing of interest happens in this thing; - Speaking of "torture porn", it's got to be the most obnoxious term in cinema, and almost always guarantees that whoever uses it is highly pretentious and probably hasn't seen the movies they criticize and hopes to sound clever without doing any actual analysis; - The only film in the Paranormal Activity franchise I saw was the second one, and the only scary thing about it was that most fans of the series seem to consider it the best one, and the fourth one is the one that is supposed to have too many jump scares.

I can't speak for all Paranormal Activity fans, but part 2 was my least favorite of the series by far -- it was just flat-out boring. Part 3 ("PA in the 80's") was the best, and 4 was probably second best. IMO.

Justice League: The New Frontier Justice League: Doom All Star Superman Superman vs The Elite Superman Batman: Public Enemies Green Lantern: First Flight Wonder Woman - The Paranormal Activity fans I've talked to agree that 2 was the worst. I thought 3 was the best, I still haven't watched 4, despite owning it.

The Truman Show is an underrated classic. Danny De Vito is a damn fine actor. Wreck-It-Ralph is among Disney's best films. Honestly, I don't think those opinions are that unpopular. I'm sure you could find countless people that would agree. I know I do. Well probably not unpopular as such but I've never really heard people aside from myself come out and say these things. Unsaid would perhaps be better.

But seriously, nothing of interest happens in this thing; I wouldn't say it's a critique of violence in media as a general thing, but there's no way it's not in some aspects a commentary on Jacopetti/Prosperi's films, particularly Africa Addio.

I thought 3 was the best, I still haven't watched 4, despite owning it. Thanks, man! Also, strange about PA. I mean, I remember especially after the release of PA4, tons of fans of the series calling BS on it while reminiscing about how good PA2 supposedly was. - Cannibal Holocaust is utter garbage, regardless of whether you treat it as an unapologetic exploitation film (which Deodato openly admitted it was supposed to be) or a social "message" about violence in media (which apparently amounts to "it sure does exist").

Deodato went out of this way to say it wasn't. He basically said that if anything, Cannibal Holocaust tried to emulate this style. So if there's a commentary, it's that gore and rape are awesome in movies, which I don't have an issue with, as far as I'm concerned as long as it's fake I don't really care (hence why I di get pissed at the real animal killings) but I get annoyed when people try to pass this kind of stuff off as clever satire (see also: A Serbian Film).

- Not counting The Dark Knight, Nolan's Batman movies aren't very good. And even with The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger made that movie enjoyable, not Nolan.
- Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man 2 were all terrible.
- Thomas Jane's Punisher movie was a decent movie and easily the best of the Punisher movies.
- Watchmen was one of the most excruciating experiences I've ever had in a theater.
- Wizard of Oz and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory are both insanely overrated and two of the most irritating movies I've ever seen.
- For all of the hate it gets, Nightmare on Elm Street 2 is a goofy, fun movie. The best of the sequels, I would say.
- Shaun of the Dead, while a decent movie, is overrated and not as good as it's made out to be.

Three Act Structure is largely a terrible storytelling method. "Second Act Slump" exists because 3AS is too simple and misguided. But don't take it from me; take it from Film Crit Hulk.

- Kristen Stewart is a good actress Couldn't agree more. Best ever? Of course not, but most of her hate seems like it stems from because it's the cool thing to do. I've seen her non-Twilight roles, and she's a perfectly decent actress.

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have talent. They just received a very obvious payday for phoning it in. Looking at the source material, I can't say I particularly blame them for not giving it utter reverence.

Looking at the source material, I can't say I particularly blame them for not giving it utter reverence. Heck, Pattinson openly admitted he doesn't like Edward and presumably doesn't enjoy being in these movies. I'm under the impression that for most actors in this series, they're mostly in it to pay the bills and/or because they're under contract.
