The Unpopular Film, TV, Music, Art, Books, Comics, Games, & Technology Opinion Thread (for all you contrarians!)

Not sure if this has been created yet, but might as well bring it to life anyway…

This is the ultimate thread for all of the film, TV, music, art, books, comics, games, & technology opinions you guys have that you feel nobody else shares!

RULES!

1. Must be an unpopular opinion. NOT something like: “I sort of like The Last Jedi.”
2. No politics.
3. No making fun of, or criticising others for their opinion.
4. No argueing about anything, if you don’t agree with something, don’t bring it up! Internalise the pain!
5. Long-winded rants are OK, but don’t go off topic and ramble.
6. LET THE HATE FLOW THROUGH YOU!!!

I’ll start:

I actually kind of love all the absurd, physics defying, gravity-bending action sequences in the Hobbit trilogy. I know everybody hates them, but I don’t care, I get a serious kick out of those scenes. I think it’s because they make me feel like a kid again, when I thought fighting like that was possible! I’t probably because I don’t hold the franchise as close to my heart as I do Star Wars.

Alien3-

1. It’s a decent movie.
2. The theatrical cut is much better than the newer workprint cut.

Lol. I’ve still only seen the first two Alien films, but I’ll take your word for it and check it out!

I find the majority of films in the MCU to be overrated. They are released far too quickly and focus way too much on CGI action that ends up looking fake. Nothing can replace practical effects for me.

+1

The original Iron Man and Doctor Strange are the only MCU movies I thought were actually good, strangely enough. Hopefully Sam Raimi can give us an even better sequel to that one.

Ok, but please remember that both of those points are extremely unpopular opinions.

Want another extremely unpopular Alien opinion? I don’t like Aliens. Alien is a masterpiece, and Aliens is just dumb. More is not better.

And for another Cameron related one, T2 isn’t nearly as good as T1. Similar to how Aliens misses out on what’s special about Alien, T2 misses out on what’s special about The Terminator.

And on anther sequel related note, Toy Story 2 isn’t that great, and Toy Story is much better when viewed without sequels. Toy Story 3 is garbage, too. In fact, Pixar in general has been garbage since 2009. The magic of Pixar died sometime during Up. I can’t decide whether it died after the opening sequence, or when balloons lifted the house, or when dogs talked, or at the cliche reveal of the childhood hero being the villain. It was probably one of those.

Now a positive unpopular opinion for a change, Nacho Libre is a great movie.

I wouldn’t say “extremely unpopular”. I know lots of people who feel that way. Maybe more than not.

Most of the times I’ve brought that up, people act like I’m crazy.

I don’t think many people would disagree that First Contact is the best TNG movie. It’s not like it has a lot of competition.

I added a list of rules to my first post.

Also,
The original Spiderman trilogy, despite being intentionally campy, are the only superhero movies I can even slighty take seriously. Almost every other one makes me cringe beyond belief.

Edit:
Forgot about the Dark Knight trilogy! I like those too!

The Big Bang Theory is also severely overrated.

It’s one of the most un-funny shows I’ve ever seen. I really can’t stand it.
That awful theme song, too… *shudders

I think Indiana Jones movies are overrated. They’re fine and fun to watch once in awhile but I wouldn’t spend any money to own them.

Same goes to Alien films.

I don’t remember there being a good comedy film in this millennium and that could actually compete with something from the 80s or 90s.

I don’t like any Marvel movie, MCU, Spider-man or whatever.

The first The Fast and the Furious movie is the best of that series.

I hate anything with “National Lampoons” in the title.
I hate Airplane!
I hate all the Naked Gun movies. (Despite this, I like Leslie Nelson quite a bit. Forbidden Planet, Police Squad! & Creepshow cement him as a class act.)

TOS is the only good Star trek stuff.
The original Ghostbusters is the only good Ghostbusters thing.

Including the movies, right?

Not an unpopular opinion, unless you’re referring to the actual original Ghostbusters from 1975.

Yeah.

Ah, not that one. But I rarely meet a GB fan who doesn’t like 2 or the cartoons or some kinda BS.
