Your Unpopular Movie Opinions

Napoleon Dynamite is the most overrated comedy of the last 40 years.

I enjoyed "The Last Action Hero."

I think Battlestar Galactica was, overall, a better product than Breaking Bad.  So shoot me.  (Or take my avatar.)

While BB certainly had its moments, Seasons 2 and 5 largely meandered for BB.  It killed off at the end of Season 4 its best bad guy, the only one who could rival or exceed Walt in his gravitas, so Season 5 had to invent a new bad guy, and he wasn't nearly the weight or proper counterpart to Walt (he was just bad and inexplicably superconnected) -- so its ending wasn't a creshendo from Season 4, it was just a season of tying stuff up.  Also, much of BB centered on people making bad decisions, like, someone in that position wouldn't make that decision.  So a lot of the plot development wasn't so much random as just, "let's make someone make a bad decision and get more drama out of it."

BSG surely had some lame episodes and the entire Final-5 thing maybe could (should) have been done differently, and no question the last 4 penultimate episodes got too talky b/c they were saving their $$$ for the finale (a promise from Moore to be "un-Sopranos")... But considering the look, asthetics, music, multiplicity of characters (way more than BB), character transformations, overarching themes, the way it flipped the scipt on you (e.g, the killer robots were Christians while the humans were pagans), it was a space opera that was cool to like... it just resonated on a lot more levels than BB.

Plus, the ending of BSG -- literally, a religious ending -- was, just, so NEVER done in Hollywood.  Lots of fans didn't like it for that reason.  I thought it was brilliant, something no sci-fi ever does.  Really, no TV show anywhere has ever done, except maybe Touched by an Angel.  But BSG told you from the very first episode it was a religious experience, and yet the ending still seemed suprising.

I've been told I'm a moron for suggesting this comparison, but taken as a whole, BSG was more risky, and epi-to-epi more watchable and more stressful.  Plus, you know, way way way way more eye candy in BSG.

I think The Big Lebowski is overrated.  It wasn't bad, but I didn't see it as the kind of genre-changing, epochal film as many here apparently do.   It kept me mildly entertained but I wouldn't watch it again.

 

 

 

 

I thought Guardians of the Galaxy was very overrated vs recent Star Trek movies of the JJ Abrams type.  Didn't get the hype.

 

The Princess Bride is overrated. 

I didn't think American Hustle was any special.  

Bar none.  BAR NONE!

Interstellar is one of the best movies of all time.

Is overrated

Hello, everyone. My name is MGoBlu8, and I've never seen The Big Lebowski. I offer no excuse, but I have much remorse. I want you to know, however that I recently recorded it on IFC. I intend to watch it, and then I can finally know what the fuck my brother and half of MGoBlog thinks is so great.

I thought Boyhood was just okay. If it hadn't been filled over the course of twelve years no one would have thought it deserving of any accolades.

I really disliked Ben Affleck for a good part of his career - stuff like Armageddon and Pearl Harbor he seemed so stiff and a movie killer.  He also killed the Tom Clancy genre that Harrison Ford was rocking with The Sum of All Fears.

Then The Town and Argo happened and I've changed my view 180 degrees.

This Is the End was one of the least funny comedies I have ever seen.

The Replacements is the greatest football movie of all time.

I like steven seagal

Freddy Got Fingered is one of the funniest movies out there

I think Hugh Grant is adorable. 

Green Street Hooligans is my favorite movie.

Although I enjoy them ok, Stanley Kubrick movies are overrated.

Every time Titanic is on tv I watch it
