Your unpopular film opinions?

[OneRealFinch]

Home alone should have only done 1 movie

I agree.

German-made films/series are generally a few steps above mainstream Hollywood films, in almost every way.

Agree about Tom Cruise films but he is surprisingly funny in Tropic Thunder

Rose was a bitch for letting her mother believe that her only child was dead.

I feel like he's one of the few good actors these days, alongside Liam Neeson, Daniel Day-Lewis, and a load of German actors such as Jonas Nay, Lars Eidinger and Tom Schilling.

I’m weirdly delighted to encounter someone else who thinks highly of Twister. My DS has a bit of a thing for disaster films, but Twister looks beautiful, is well-scripted, well-paced, good soundtrack, and has some very good actors in minor roles (Philip Seymour Hoffmann, Alan Ruck etc).

Oh yeah, and anything with Tom Cruise is utter pants.

Love a good low-to middle budget disaster movie. As well as Twister can I add Donovan's Peak, Arachnophobia and Lake Placid to the list. I'd rewatch these films any day.

Tim Burton's Batman films are better than Nolan's version.

Jessica Hynes is the most underrated actress. I love her in everything she's in.

My unpopular film opinion is that I’ve come round to Tom Cruise, though only in the Mission Impossible films, where he’s essentially a well-known stuntman with Botox.

I have never found him in any way attractive, and loathe the early, sex symbol stuff like Top Gun, and the ‘serious’, mid-period stuff, and one gathers he’s a loon, but I find the Mission Impossible films quite likeable. Though in fairness, that’s probably because I like lots of the other actors in them, and I’ve always thought Ilse Faust should have been the lead. (Which makes what they did to her in Dead Reckoning Pt 1 even more outrageous…)

I loved Barbie. I only went to see it because it was on the news that it had been banned in Algeria so I went to see why.
Still not sure actually unless it was because it was about women/girls and their lives, rather than centred on men, but I LOVED it. Saw it twice.
Sequel will probbaly spoil it tho, sequels are always rubbish.

Actors and actresses fucking up their faces makes most films unwatchable as a sequence of ageless puffy blimps mumble lines at each other from immobile inflated lips.

Never watch anything billed as 'a meditation' on anything, it means there's no plot and is usually some male wanker doing a 2 minute perv shot of a very young woman (occasionally a very young man) being alive and therefore obviously asking to be rogered by said wanker.

Austin Philips is only believable as an alien.

Grease 2 is better than Grease.

The last hyped/ award winning film I saw that was any good was Parasite.

Tom Hanks can't act for shit

(Just kidding. He's amazing) ❤️

@Luckydog7

Both avatar films were shite, the whole world went crazy over them, the hype was nuts and I was just left scratching my head.

Me too. Looked nice but lame story.

@PaperStarred exactly, it's the full package of a film. My compliments to you and DS on your excellent taste in films.

Oh heck, you reminded me that I missed him from my list of decent 'Hollywood' actors - he's brilliant. I watched The Green Mile again the other night, and he is so good in that.

I said this on another thread.
Heath Ledger was a crap Joker.

Thank you.
I feel the same.
I watched American Hustle and it should have been fantastic.
But it was the most boring piece of crap.
Even Amy Adams couldn't help the film and I love her.

Risky Business is a fun watch. Being a good feminist I ought to despise it, but I think it's great.

Me three. Yes, what's on the screen is sometimes captivating but the whole thing? Tediously dull.

I don't enjoy watching Meryl Streep I always feel she is "acting". The only time I sort of enjoyed her performance was as a ghost in Mamma Mia 2.

Anatomy of a Fall is dull as dishwater.

Richard Curtis movies are twee, utter shite.

I thought this was the general consensus about this film?

Yes! Best film of all time!

Marvels first few films with Thor and such were good fun.
But they've made too many with too many spin-offs and it's just awful now.
