Re: Unpopular Film OpinionsThe 'neo-noir' style in the film Brick was too quirky for me to appreciate it at all and it just got too annoying by the end of the movie leaving me almost angry at how much I didn't enjoy the experience.
Man I hated that film.Last edited by Crushy; 21-02-2012 at 02:18. -

Re: Unpopular Film OpinionsProbably because it's about the male psyche. Stick to Confessions of a Shopaholic, sounds more like your kind of thing.(Original post by FunkeyMunkey)
THIS!! I really did not like that movie. I only watched it recently and was disappointed because it was so bad and was really expecting it to be good. And yeah I felt that there must be something I missed too. I honestly don't get why people like it

Re: Unpopular Film OpinionsIt deeply frustrates me that most films fail the Bechdel test.

Re: Unpopular Film OpinionsAll star wars films are awful. 4-6 look incredibly dated compared to other films from that time that didn't have special effects. (I know they were great in their day; I remember being amazed at the 1st Jurassic park, but it looks pretty bad now.
Get Him to The Greek was much funnier than The Hangover.
The Dark Knight is the 2nd most boring film I have ever seen (after Transformers II). -

Re: Unpopular Film Opinions• I don't enjoy Stanley Kubrick's films. I can see the skill involved with making them, but they don't hold any interest for me.
• The opinions of critics does matter.
• It's fine for there not to be a consensus about a film. Nowadays everyone seems to think that films are either good or bad, and anyone who doesn't agree is an idiot. It's perfectly fine if you didn't like Avatar, I still enjoyed it.
• In a similar vein, those who look down on others for their opinions are awful people. You are not better than me because you think Inception is a simple film, and I am not better than you just because I happened to overthink it.
• I find it difficult to enjoy animated films, and actively avoid them.
• Zack Snyder is a terrible director.
• Institutional sexism and racism are two huge problems in Hollywood that need to be addressed.
• An editor is often more directly responsible for your enjoyment of a film than the director or anyone else, yet 99% of the people in the cinema don't know their name and that is a shame.Last edited by Phalanges; 21-02-2012 at 10:35. -

Re: Unpopular Flim OpinionsThats why as far as I'm concerned, there are no sequels for the matrix.(Original post by kingkongjaffa)
the matrix makes not sense in terms of it's plot is broken, how do neo's powers transcend the matrix into the real world, why would the machines stop killing everyone if neo went to the mainframe? is the architect a human whodesigned the matrix or a machine? -

3D is and always has been a money making gimmick. It is not advancing the film industry. -

Re: Unpopular Film OpinionsThe majority of the acting in the film was ****, and the old woman overracted to an annoying extent(Original post by Y__)
Well, not saying you have to like it, but I would be quite interested to hear what you disliked about it in particular.
I did not care about the characters one bit. In the first scene, one steals his mothers TV, the other is a drug dealer, one is unfortunate, but I didn't really like her anyway.
The camera effects were overused, to the point where instead of being interesting effects they were annoying.
It was so goddamned inaccurate, people can inject in different places than that ONE in their arm, especially if it is gangrenous or whatever was wrong with it.
I don't know how to put my finger on how, but the whole damn thing reeked of pretention.
I just sat there bored for the entirety of it. I knew nothing about the film before watching it, not the director, not the actors, or anything about it, other than it was in IMDB top 250. Sometimes when I watch films like that they are epic - I knew nothing about pulp fiction before watching it.
I know people slag me off for watching silly action films like shoot em up and crank, but at least I find them entertaining. -

Re: Unpopular Film OpinionsIt's a funny system where (but for a few exceptions) the Hollywood producer gets or is given an idea for a film and pays a writer to flesh it out. The writer then creates their version of the film. Then the director comes along with a cast and they make their version of it. And then the editor gets to make a film out of the pieces they've filmed. A good editor could probably make a film with poor writing and acting passable and definitely rescue a film from poor directing. And yet poor editing and people will hate the film.(Original post by Phalanges)

Re: Unpopular Film Opinionsahh good days(Original post by aspirinpharmacist)
Happily.
The films were so bad that I consider them like an unintentional comedy, which is a terrible thing in a film.
Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor are fantastic. Those two just make the first film in my opinion. And let's not forget the brilliance of Christopher Lee.
the re-release of the first film gives me a perfect excuse to watch them allover again hehe
