Unpopular movie or tv show opinions

Whoops... I forgot to add another horror franchise to my list in #1, LOL.

Spoiler:

Child's Play

Spoiler:

3. Jaws is amazingly boring up until the final confrontation with the shark. But again, classic for a reason.

Even the MIB>Star Wars one doesn't disturb me as much as this.

So edgy. Very rebel.

Yeah...

 

[RIDDICK]

This reminds me... I haven't seen JAWS since 90's. Time to fix that!

 

[twistedfreak]

Agreed with #1 & #5. Maybe we're just cowards...

As for mine:

Spoiler:

1) GoT doesn't deserve all the constant praise it gets. It's a good show, with interesting characters, good visuals, a good story and all that jazz, but take out all the HBO stuff, and it's not that great.

2) Black Sails was one of the best shows ever, ever. And nothing is comfier than the first season. Not even...

3) Suits is the comfiest show in the history of TV. It's nothing new, exciting or whatever, but you can always put it on and never feel especially dissapointed.

4) Rick & Morty sucks DOOM's balls. It's nothing more than Reddit-tier memes.

5) The Young Pope is one the best new shows. Apart from the gorgeous cinematography and depth of Lenny, Jude Law plays an awesome eccentric Pope.

That's all I can think of ATM.

I am so in agreement with you on Suits. Such an easy watch that IMO is one of the top drama TV series in a while.

LOL, people have actually called me a "contrarian" on other message boards because of my unpopular opinions. Yep, they're apparently that hard to believe. But I assure you all, what I've written here is 100% genuine my opinion.

I don't disbelieve you. The whole point of this thread is to voice your 'against the grain' opinions. You have some.

Voice em to your hearts content. That is the purpose of the thread. And in the end no one cares.

I'm still on S3, and it's a bit too "safe" to call it one of the best dramas, but it's definitely the most comfy show around. You can put it on at any hour, at any period, whether you're happy or stressed, and it's always enjoyable. It's quite an achievement, really.

It's a tiger shark.

A whaaaaaaa?

 

[Snake Plissken]

What's this bite radius crap?

JAWS was the movie that taught me the cannot-turn-it-off phenomenon. I rarely watch it on bluray because it's on quite often and I enjoy running across it in the wild. I've never cancelled plans to finish it but I've enjoyed many a post-plans morning sobering up to it.

I will probably regret posting this as I've gotten a lot of s*** for my unpopular opinions in the past.

Remember, all of this is strictly my opinion - it doesn't mean I'm right. This is your last warning.

[1. The Halloween, Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Friday the 13th, and Saw franchises are all weak and boring in terms of story/depth and can barely support their own weight. They're classics for a reason, but I don't understand the appeal at all.

2. Men in Black franchise > Star Wars franchise

3. Jaws is amazingly boring up until the final confrontation with the shark. But again, classic for a reason.

4. Ghostbusters II is an OK sequel.

5. MCU > DCEU (I guess that's not really unpopular, LOL)

As a side note pertaining to #1, I just don't understand the appeal of horror films in general. I can understand wanting some adrenaline rush, and I most certainly understand the appeal of monster films with great special effects (I.E., Aliens, Predator, Pumpkinhead, etc.), but films about generic slashers with knives, chainsaws, etc., literally bore me to tears. How do you enjoy a film if the goal of the film is to sicken and/or disturb the audience? It makes zero sense to me, LOL.

To anyone who may scoff at what I've written:

I have to ask, how old are you buddy? These are opinions my little cousins in high school have. Im not saying that as an insult or as a joke or anything like that, younger people tend to hate these movies for similar reasons. Or maybe you just like action movies

You mentioned 4 different franchises and all of them have different things to explain.

Jaws, i personally didnt appreciate it when i was little. I thought it was "boring " i wished they showed the shark more. But now i like it for the acting, the shark attack is the least thing to like, the actors are the best thing about it the suspense, the bickering. The open sea, the information shared. The beach scene is pretty intense.

Halloween is kinda the same thing. You get invested in the doctor looking for the killer and you get involved in the suspense. You dont know when the killer is going to show.
You are watching normal people like you hanging out like a regular night and theres a killer in the shadows.
Jaws and halloween are movies where the thing that entertains is the suspense of the situation and the acting and the fact that it could be your neighborhood.
Texas chainsaw is similar in that way. Is not your neighborhood but it is normal people in a extreme situation,

This is funny but they showed millenials Halloween to watch and they hated it, they made fun of it. They were very bored, they wanted action and explosions and one liners, basicalky they expected halloween to be llike marvel...

Friday the 13th came out at a time when camping and summer camp was more famous. It was more of an 80s thing, a novelty of the 80s. If you ever camp the movie would be creepy. Now it doesnt make as much sense. Anyone can still like it but it became a classic just because of how new the idea and the setting was.

Michael myers, leatherface and jason are very unique in look and they are iconic because of how cool the design is


Saw is the only one where the acting or the plot dont matter at all but people wanna see the gore. Thats it, just gore.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I wasn't really impressed with Saw

U wanted MORE gore????? Jeez

My woman has a similar thing. She has almost no interest in any movie made before Sixteen Candles.

Nah, I just didn't care for the movie
