Unpopular opinions

[StarvingMarvin222]

I don't think Heath Ledger was a good Joker.
I don't think he fitted it very well.
He over acted in every scene.

And he only one the Oscar because he died

@Ramalangadingdong I know right? You’re going through and it’s all beautifully done and then you pause and remember the lead looks like and is portraying an underage teen.

With Barbie, I wouldn’t even say I thought it was a bad film. I just think Ken‘s storyline needed more nuance and overall it was defeatist.

I love Lost in Translation — tbh, on here I think liking it is a more unpopular opinion than loathing it!

" tbh, on here I think liking it is a more unpopular opinion than loathing it!"

I agree - so far we are in the minority for sure!

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a fantasy. He totally rewrites history especially with regard to the Manson family. I think the "once upon a time" is a nod to this ie it's a fairy story not reality. I found how he dealt with the Manson accolytes hugely satisfying.

I am not really a Tarantino fan but I really liked Jackie Brown. Especially Pam Grier's character.

OH and I enjoyed Lost In Translation which surprised us as we have wildly different tastes in films and not a lot actually happens.

Bond movies.. I find the concept of 'Bond Girls' really creepy. Especially in the older ones..

I think Brian Cox is a much better Hannibal

But I think virtually everyone would agree with you that the whole concept of the ‘Bond girl’ as a decorative sex object, complete with double entendre name in some cases, and always much younger than JB, is deeply creepy and misogynistic!

I like Jackie Brown too - it's the only Tarantino film I like.

Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore is the only Martin Scorsese film I like.

Amelie - Utter PISH

Films should be 90 mins max. Anything longer is self-indulgence from the director.

The older I get the less patience I have for “men” films - by men about men male gaze women incidental. BORING

Tinker Tailor soldier spy - lots of men whispering. Almost cried with boredom.

Find like Coen brothers overrated. More men men men.

Liked Lost in translation loved Barbie Oppenheimer another man film but liked the history angle.

😂😂😂😂

Yeah Emma really can’t act. She got lucky as a girl but it’s not translated into adulthood. Really ruined Meg in Little Women

Any film that involves aliens will have lazy writing. The Aliens are always used to explain things away that the writers can't be bothered to wrap up themselves, it's the scifi version of ending a story with "and it was all a dream".

Avator is just a worse version of Fern Gully like... "what if Fern Gully also had a white saviour situation" that's Avator.

Barbie was pretty rubbish - feminism for dummies.
Lost in translation was fantastic
Beverley hills cops 2 is the finest of all the sequels
Down with love with Renee Zelwegger and Ewan McGregor was so terrible I wanted to punch myself in the face
Brigit Jones was AWFUL

La la land has the best ending of any Hollywood film ever and I don't like musicals much and didn't really rate the rest of the film either !
Just loved it's ending
ET is rubbish and I never understood the love for it
The Harry Potter books are far superior to the films

I had a weird reaction to the end of La La land couldn’t stop crying - the life not lived thing. My kids were baffled.

Yep, La La land it was inspired to end it like that ! Made a change

My favourite Lala Land scene was where she makes him play bad eighties music when he’s in the cover band.

Oppenheimer is so boring. Didn't finish it.

Hell no! One of my favourites!

I hated La La Land, and had to sit through the whole thing because my friend paid me in for my birthday. At the end it turned out he hated it too and we could have gone and got a KFC twenty minutes in.

I had wiped Down With Love from my memory until this thread, @Madamswearsalot 🤣

Second one was worse.

Oppenheimer being a case in out. Barbie would have been much better if it came in at 90 mins.

La la land was rubbish except the ending.

Kiera knightly and Orlando Bloom are wooden actors. The movie version of pride and prejudice was rubbish.

Marvel and DC films are rubbish

Napoleon was not a great film.
