Post your unpopular TV/movie opinions

[Malibu Stacy]

I never miss a chance to say Amazing Spider-man 2 is the best live action Spidey flick, and Raimi's Spider-man 2 was a lazy rehash of his first one.

Michael Keaton was acceptable as Batman, but was a terrible Bruce Wayne. Batman '89 was dull drek.

While I think X2: X-Men United is the most solid X=movie, the two that have the most rewatch value to me are The Last Stand and Origins: Wolverine. Also, Logan bored the life out of me.

Voyager is my favorite Star Trek series. The only other series I care for is Next Gen. Plus, Data was HOT.

I regret not seeing either Pixels or Ghostbusters 2016 in the cinema. I also don't see how on Earth having Chris Hemsworth's character played as a ditz is somehow misandrist, it just made him funnier and more charming to me. I like stock ditz characters regardless of gender, though.

In the Frozen vs Tangled wars, I feel like Brave is really underrated for it's girl power levels.

I have no problem telling people I watch wrestling, as the worst I've gotten in response is polite indifference. On the other hand, I never cop to the reality tv I watch cuz I'm tired of everyone coming at me to tell me how fake it is.

I HATE sex scenes, they bore the CRAP out of me. It's the equivalent to pausing the action so the characters can whip out adding machines and do their taxes in long form.

I feel like PG-13 is the most sexist rating because instead of just getting the sex and nudity out and over with, they have to use overly contrived camera shots and character moments sprinkled throughout the entire film to maximize sex appeal, often making the female characters look dimwitted/oblivious in the process.

Death Race 2050 is a brilliant scifi masterpiece, and is probably the greatest movie ever made.

Timothy Dalton was the best James Bond.

[Hassan bin Sober]

I didn't like Cow and Chicken, The Kids Next Door, or The Fairy Odd Parents.

The Good Place is currently on track to dethrone The Wire for the "Most Brilliant Series With a Terrible Final Season" award.

And Boardwalk Empire’s final season.

I love all four seasons of Legend of Korra. There isn’t any point in the show where I think they’ve truly mishandled the title character. The writers do a good job in keeping her strong and likable, but also vulnerable and imperfect.

Pulp Fiction is far from Tarantino’s best. That’d be Inglorious Bastards and Jackie Brown. Samuel definitely should have won an Oscar for Jules though.

The third Pirates of the Caribbean movie is a fun movie and a good finale for Will Turner. It’s the fourth and fifth movies where the bottom falls out of the series’ quality.

Star-Lord in Infinity War: I understood how he felt, and that’s why he made so many mistakes. I wasn’t annoyed with him like some others, I just felt bad for him.

Ditto the Buster Moon character in Sing. He has a selfish streak and his plan is pretty underhanded, but I got how attached he was to the theater and why, plus he develops well over the course of the story. Great voice acting on Matthew McConaughey’s part.

Justice League was a decent movie that needed a more consistent vision behind it.

[Natural Born Farmer]

Hellboy 2019 was pretty good.

Mad Men is right up there with the most boring shows ever. I kept waiting for someone to acknowledge the emperor had no clothes, but no one ever seemed willing to.

The Departed is a below average film, especially by Scorsese’s standards. Him getting the Oscar for it was absolutely a lifetime achievement award after the Academy got it wrong several times, and if he’d already won or if anyone else had directed it it would rightly be remembered as an ok crime film, nothing more.

Cue someone making a “need a cranberry juice?” joke.

Punisher '89 wouldn't get as much hate as it does if Dolph Lundgren had a skull on his shirt.

I've always had a soft spot for that movie, Punisher fan that I am notwithstanding. It was a step above your average run of the mill 80s action movie. And it dared to not be an origins movie.

One of the complaints I've heard was that it was more like an ordinary action movie than a comic book movie.

It had ninjas and an evil geisha. That's about as comic booky as an action film can get.

I like Spider-Man 2, but I thought it was kind of a rehash of Superman II.

I thought Ghostbusters 2016 was okay (I think it's all right to admit that now). Hemsworth was funny.

---------------------

Car chases bore me.

I could never get into The Lion King. Just couldn't relate to the non-anthropomorphic animal characters.

[thechase]

-Gadget and Dale should have been endgame

-The Matthew Brockerick Inspector Gadget and Godzilla movies are actually OK.

-Batman and Robin is perfectly serviceable as a movie and has one of the best soundtracks

-The New Adventures of He-Man is the best He-Man cartoon

-Terrahawks is better than Thunderbirds

-The Thirteenth Doctor should have a relationship with Graham in the current series (it'd probably gross out the kids watching though)

[Push R Truth]

Season of the Witch is my favorite movie from the Halloween Franchise

[Ultimo Gallos]

Hmm

Friends and Seinfeld never made me laugh. And I still don't get why they were huge hits.

Will Smith has very little talent. Fresh Prince was a crap sitcom that puzzles me why it became a hit.

ID4 was sound and fury signfying nothing.

Terminator 2 is crap. Wish the series had ended after the first film.

Reality TV is lowest common denominator entertainment.

Lord of the Rings,books and movies,were boring.

King of the Hill is the only good show to air on Fox in the past 20+ years.

Danielle Panabaker was a good actress as a kid and teen. But since she became an adult she has been horrible and is the major reason why the Flash TV show is crap.

Arrow isn't worth a crap. It isn't Green Arrow it is Batman with a bow.

Bad Boys,the Will Smith and Martin Lawrence film,isn't funny and is one of the worst movies I saw in a theater.

[grungesmurf]

I was told that Friends was a comedy show? Idk about that saw it a few times never laughed thought it was terrible... and Jennifer is highly overrated on the “hotness” scale.

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 is horrible, hated wasting what felt like five hours of my life attending that flick.

The Dukes of Hazard episode with not Bo and Luke were ok.

[ZERO]

Rachel Greene from Friends is a horrible human being.

People who act like G1 was the best version of Transformers haven't actually watched it since the 80s. (I did a few years back. Only the movie holds up. The rest is patchy at best)

Jason David Frank had better sentai footage to work with and was more willing to work for peanuts. That's why Tommy Oliver has the longevity he does in Power Rangers. JDF stayed while everyone else left. There is actually NOTHING remarkable about Green Ranger Tommy, aside from him being a forgetful jackass who never hears his communicator going off because he's too busy doing karate in the woods and/or getting kidnapped by Putties.

On a related note, Super Sentai hasn't been truly great since Gokaiger. And not just because of all the returning actors. If that show was just Captain Marvelous and his crew wrecking s*** as a simple "Pirate Sentai" I'd still love it.

People really need to get over Tim Burton's Batman.

I'll take Cesar Romero over Joaquin Phoenix.

Firefly is the worst TV show Joss Whedon ever did. The best being Angel. Yes, over and above Buffy. Fight me.

I liked Anime better when it was all ultraviolent stuff churned out by Manga Video UK advertised in gaming magazines. I'll take Ninja Scroll or Legend of the Overfiend (even in it's UK cut-to-ribbons movie form) over a THOUSAND Studio Ghibli movies.

Alan Partridge as a character should have been retired after season 1 of I'm Alan Partridge.

Mock The Week did not get worse after Frankie Boyle left. However, the current crop of comedians appearing aren't as good as they used to be.

Rock Profile is better than Little Britain.

Okay, this one is going to surprise you.

The new Charlie's Angels movie was actually very entertaining.

It's a shame the film experts of the Internet still pigeonhole Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson for starring in Twilight, because they're both excellent actors.

I've never seen any of the Twilight movies, nor have I read the books. I would watch the movies out of sheer curiosity but that's about it. But really, a lot of people were complaining about Robert Pattinson being cast as Batman. Now I haven't seen him in a lot of things, but I thought he did well in The Rover opposite Guy Pearce.

Kristen Stewart is a good actress. I liked her in Adventureland and American Ultra.

As for the new Charlie's Angels movie, most internet man-babies were upset at a reboot of the franchise. Really, this film is a continuation of the franchise as a whole, as references to not only the McG films, but also the old series were made. Some are likely nostalgic for the McG films, though that reminded me of a comment from when the 2018 Tomb Raider movie was coming out. Some woman clearly thought it was a remake as she said that "Angelina Jolie was Lara Croft" and all of that. I come to find out that she never even knew that Tomb Raider was based on a video franchise. I get that she wasn't a gamer, but I thought a lot of people knew of its source material.

I can't speak to Kristen Stewart, but Pattinson did an amazing job in The Lighthouse, and earned some street cred from me.

[The 1Watcher Experience]

Lord of the Rings is the hardest slog of a trilogy to sit through.

Most comic movies and very hit and miss. Very few will hold up as classics that are enjoyable for repeat viewing.

I never found Seinfeld funny and I’m a huge fan of all types of comedy.

I never understood why some critics made sexist remarks about women not being funny. I remember watching the Burns and Allen show which originally aired back in the 50s and Gracie Allen was absolutely hilarious.

That's an unpopular opinion?

[Deleted]

Sci-fi, horror and fantasy are probably my three favourite genres, but I can't seem to like anything (excluding Darth Vader parts) about Star Wars. I'm trying to change that opinion as it has some of the easiest-to-find nerd merchandice to buy online.

[Wilfred]

I didn’t hate the last season/episode of Game of Thrones as a lot of people did. No doubt it felt rushed and there were some very questionable decisions made, but eh, that doesn’t mean it ruined the series for me. It was ok.
