What's your unpopular movie opinion?

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.
That was definitely the best scene.



You can't win an argument just by being right!
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 would double rep you if I could, Doc, because I totally get your point and I so love this genre, but I was just left a bit flat. It's great you loved it. I had real life friends absolutely raving to me about this one - Maybe I was in the wrong mood. Might have a rewatch one day when I want some more puppy love. Frozen is one wolfey love survival movie I enjoyed more than I thought I would.



Trouble with a capitial 'T'
Children of Men bored me to death. I don't know why it's so critically acclaimed.
I don't get the love for that movie either? I guess people see some kind of a personal truth, that I didn't see.

I'm gonna say the same as my earlier post:

"The long takes were used to immerse you into the world, like you're actually there with the characters. It worked for me."



Here's another:

Moonlight was the worst movie of those selected for Best Picture last year, and overall a crap movie and a borderline black exploitation flick.

Best Picture should have gone to Hell or High Water, or Fences.



This might just do nobody any good.
I’ll agree that Moonlight was... a distant film. Not the worst, though.

Hell or High Water should’a probably won.

I didnt mind it except for the colour palette.



borderline black exploitation flick.

Best Picture should have gone to Fences.
What do you mean by "Black exploitation movies"? Like the "Shaft" or "Badassss Song" kinda ones? Comparing Moonlight to them is like comparing apples to the Crusades.

Young boy in a broken home, no father, crack addicted mother, mentored by the neighborhood drug dealer, grows up to be a drug dealer, living in the closet.

It hits on damn near every stereotype of the black male.

Written and directed by a proud black man. I dont see the exploitaition issue - first time I've seen it mentioned. Might be missing something.

Not to mention that the director and writer based the film (and play) on their own lives.

The first sentence doesn't mean that it can't be black exploitation my friend. Tyler Perry is a proud black man, and he's the undisputed king of black exploitation. And no, I'm not saying Moonlight was the level of a Tyler Perry movie. However, I don't see the genius in it either.

Anyway, I digress. Moving onto my next controversial opinion:

Back to the Future is crap.

Eh? Sorry, really missing something obviously.



Welcome to the human race...
The Resident Evil franchise is a solid one.

Paul W.S. Anderson is a better filmmaker than he gets credit for.

Plot is the least important part of a movie.

Complaining about plots or characters being illogical instead of making the effort to understand outwardly illogical developments is not the best way to think about a movie.

Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning may well be one of the best action movies of the decade.

I didn't mind the third act of Wonder Woman turning into quote-unquote "CGI nonsense".

All the Alien sequels are good (including Covenant, which might be the best Ridley film since Thelma and Louise).
