Your Unpopular Movie Opinions

Submitted by Moe on

Since this is today's theme, I've always had a very unpopular view of a certain movie, and would love to hear other's opinions based off of movies and/or actors.  Mine: I think Wedding Crashers is a terrible movie, and not funny.

I'm really looking forward to the all female Ghostbusters movie.  Not a fan of Melissa McCarthy, but Kate McKinnon (on SNL) is the funniest person you may not have heard of.

I liked McCarthy when she was on Gilmore Girls, before her current shtick started, but can't stand her now. The worst part is as soon as they announced the Ghostbusters movie as ask female, I knew she was going to be one of them.

500 Days of Summer put a lot of things in perspective for me and I bet it did for a lot other young guys too. It's the guys' version of a chick flick.

I'm with you. I could never understand why I should care about characters who were the scum of society. I mean, these slugs are murderers, thieves, pimps, loan sharks, drug dealers, etc. Why the hell should I give two shits about these people - just because they dress well and dance the tarantella?

I told all that to a friend who's a big Godfather fan, and he understood my point of view. To him, the fascination of the story was the devolution of a good man, Michael, once he is forced to join the family business - the business so foul that even his own father, the head of the crime family, didn't want for him. In doing so, Michael changes from a good man to evil incarnate. To my friend, it was like a Greek tragedy with a 1940's wardrobe.

I thought that was a pretty fair explanation. I still don't love it, but I can watch it with different eyes. And plus, some of the dialogue is just fun. ("Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.")

I know it's not movies but I never understood all the love for Breaking Bad. For so long, It was all anyone ever talked about.

 

Then I binge-watched the entire series on netflix... I get it now. Great show.

I don't really like Superbad that much. It came out when I was like 16 and was the biggest thing ever but I never really understood why.
