What's your unpopular movie opinion?

I think The Grey is considerably better than The Revenant. Add that to my list of unpopular opinions

Here's another uncommon opinion:

The Hustler (61) is one of the best movies ever.

Oooooh that's a ballsy approach, Doc. I thought The Gray was woeful (please be gentle)

The Grey is an excellent movie. Not just from a suspense standpoint, it's a well acted film with well developed characters who you actually care about, and a deeper overaching meaning.

It's funny because - The Revenant was lauded as "deep", while The Grey is thought to just be a survival thriller, but in reality - the themes in The Grey are a helluva lot deeper than The Revenant.

I'm just posting these uncommon opinions as they come to me:

1. Unless a movie overtakes it in the next few years, then I'd consider Whiplash the best film of the decade.

2. ALL Marvel movies are overrated, but that's already been touched upon.

3. Wall Street is overrated as Hell and not a particularly good movie. Michael Douglas' performance is excellent, but the film itself isn't that good.

4. Blue Valentine is a great movie, and one of the most REALISTIC romance dramas ever made, not some fairytale BS love story.

5. El Cid is one of the most underrated epics in history, and it takes a steaming crap on Ben Hur.

6. Children of Men bored me to death. I don't know why it's so critically acclaimed.

7. Hoodlum is a much better movie than American Gangster.

8. Menace II Society is one of the best movies of the 90s.

I didnt care about them, especially Liam's character. I wanted the wolves to survive. I'm nice like that

To be fair... I prefer The Revenant.

Me too. I felt his desperation for survival. I didnt feel it in Liam at all. He just looked bored to me.

Well, Liam has a... particular set of skills. He was ready.

See... this is the whole point, and why I say The Grey is deeper: Leo's character in The Revenant was HELL BENT on survival, which makes him interesting, but one dimensional.

Liam's character in the The Grey is teetering on the brink of suicide, and had to FIND the will to live. And although he ultimately dies at the end (great ending, btw)... the point is he died FIGHTING... as opposed to the beginning of the film, where he almost committed suicide going out with a whimper.

I was laughing at the Family Guy skit the other day:

Wolves, I will search for your den... i WILL find it... and I will kill you.

In both movies the villain is better than the protagonist (wolf and Tom Hardy).

This we can agree on. Hardy definitely out acted Leo.

The long takes were used to immerse you into the world. It worked for me.

Totally agree, along with 'The Hunt'.

I tear up every time at Children of Men.

Of all the moments in that one, when Luke briefly drops his angle and laments forgetting what babies look like I can’t hold them back.

I'm not an emotional dude but my heart wrenched a bit when...

Not to sound sadistic, but maybe this is gonna sound sadistic... but the ending was too predictable. The entire time I KNEW that the pregnant mother would make it to the Human Project, and that Clive Owen's character would die. What if it was reversed? What if in the end the pregnant woman got killed, and humanity was truly left hopeless?
