Wouldn't call either of those unpopular opinions!

Glad you think so

They're pretty unpopular with mates. My friend seems to think Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz are 'not that great'.

Juno was ****.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy has awful.

Great actors, great costumes and sets, ruined by a mind numbing plot that was so slow and boring I would have walked out if I hadn't been with my parents.

SO MUCH AGREEMENT.
Why is everyone so mad on that film? I really feel like I missed something.

My UO Film opinion=A Single Man was NOT that Great. In fact, kind of boring and pretentious. I felt like I was at an art gallery pretending to understand and love the paintings whilst I didn't....

lets get this thread up and running again.

I HATE Moulin Rouge. It's cringy and laughable. I think if it was silent I would like it more, it looks good.

[ehc]

Upon finally seeing The Exorcist, I was underwhelmed.
Maybe because it's been built up too much, maybe because I've heard so much about it/seen pop culture references that I knew exactly how it went, I dunno... It just 'didn't do it' for me.

REC is one hell of an overrated horror movie. I thought it was terrible and stupid.

i've never watched Avatar...

- Seth Rogen's Observe & Report is the best comedy of the last few years. Yes including The Hangover, which in itself is hugely overrated

- Jackie Brown is Tarantino's best film

- Tim Burton's last good film was Mars Attacks!

- Keanu Reeves is a good actor.

- Star Wars was never good

Do you think you have any Film opinion(s) that could be considered unpopular or even 'controversial'?

I watched Chernobyl Diaries the other night, given I've A) A fascination of that episode in Ukraine's history and B) I love a good horror flick.

However, despite almost the entirety of the world hating it, I thought it was fantastic. Its a film that goes to show you don't need a budget as large as a small country's GDP to make a good film.

Furthermore, a great many people were up in arms against the film, it raised a lot of controversy due to its depiction of 'mutated' people and animals within Pripyat. I don't believe this was the case at all, I've met several Chernobyl survivors and, though I wasn't aware of this film at the time, discussed the open media on the area and how it is often depicted and they said, if anything, such media formats bring attention to the worst nuclear disaster in a non-war footing.

But yeah, dispite it being an unpopular (both morally and crtically), I thought it was fantastic.

- Last five Harry Potter films (including DH part 1 and 2) we're awful
- I thought The Notebook was a bit boring (I usually love romance movies)
- Keanu Reeves isn't THAT bad of an actor like everyone says
- I didnt like Black Swan, I thought it was depressing
- The Hangover ISN'T the funniest film in the world
- Rosie's scenes in Tranformers 3 were the cringiest movie scenes I have ever seen

Don't bother, it's ****.

Hostel is a good attempt at horror

[ConstantThinker]

I thought the new avengers movie was stupidly overrated. I honestly was really dissapointed with it and felt like it wz a waste of money. I do love some of the marvel films but this film had a terrible plot and was purely based on the cgi/action side of things. Didn't do anything for me whatsoever. Shame though, the concept was great, it was just executed terribly.

oh, and i hated avatar

Yeah, same. Dire excuse for a film. It's just a load of blue people in the middle of some fictional planet walking around jungles, but because James Cameron directed it and it had a big budget and 'incredible' graphics, everyone jumped on the bandwagon.

I was bored ****less after ten minutes if I'm honest.

[MillyPixie]

I don't like "Four Weddings and a Funeral". I found "Avatar" aesthetically wonderful but was more like a three-hour advert. for a HD tv than an epic film...

[tylerk]

I'm agreeing with Peter Griffin on this one. The Godfather is not all that.

[Dorito]

I don't think The Dark Knight was as good as everyone made it out to be. I was pretty underwhelmed with it after hearing nothing but praise for it.
