Unpopular movie or tv show opinions

I honestly don't get the Boba Fett hype. As a kid I liked his helmet and jet pack but he didn't do anything in any of the films except stand there, walk around, then fell into a sand pit. I like his look, but he's never been in my top 10 Star Wars characters. I honestly don't know if I could say he's in my top 20.

He was cool because he had awesome looking armor and a jet pack and was badass enough just to stand around and do very little, which led us as kids to fill in the gaps with our imagination.

Very true. He was awesome looking. As I got older I guess I realized there's no real payoff for the coolness of the character.

 

[YoNoSe]

Yup. Fett is cool to many of us because we used out imaginations to make him cool.

It's like the younger generation who used their imaginations the make The Dark Knight deep.

Not even Vigo Mortensen? He was a better Puerto Rican than Al Pacino in that film. Wayyy better and his Spanish is flawless, unlike Pacino.

I watched the movie again like 2 years ago and was shocked that was Viggo, i never knew that was him

Agreed, he was a much better Puerto Rican than Pacino.

This. 100X this. As a kid he was my favorite along with Han Solo.

LOTR deserved the Oscar, not ROTK

The FOG was better than BTILC and Halloween and every other J Carpenter movie (except THE Thing) ans I am a huge JC fan.

Buffalo Bill was scarier than Hannibal Lecter.

That's funny because I've never seen the 2011 version and I tend to forget that *that* exists. So when people talk about "original and remake" my mind always defaults to 1951 and 1982, respectively.

The 2011 one if a prequel that leads directly into the 1982 movie.

If they did it right I could see Boba Fett making a return to the Franchise without it being a disaster. He was probably in his mid twenties in ROTJ so if he were to pop up in the new movies he would be around what late 40's? If anyone can make it out of a Sarlaac its that Mother ****er ( Non Canon: He did). I have an image of him blasting his way out with his armor torn to pieces and barely a helmet remaining, I doubt he would want to do any more fighting however.

Mid 20's? He was prolly 12 or so in EpII and close to 40 in Jedi.

at a 80 year old Boba in Ep VIII. Maybe show his carcass still decaying.

Just realized I didn't think that one through as he was definitely older but 40's in ROTJ that doesn't seem right. He's younger than
Anakin, how old was Luke by ROTJ?

I am probably wrong after further thought, damn it.

Before I saw TFA I assumed that Jakku was Tatooine and that it was Han piloting the Falcon through the wreckage. I thought that indicated a very strong likelihood that Fett and Han would have one last rematch. But now I just don't see Fett returning in anything other than an anthology prequel.

True. And while I thought explaining his background was unnecessary, I *did* think making him the only unaltered clone was cool.

If you go by the older established timeline, Luke would've been 23 in ROTJ. Boba was born/created around the time of TPM (which was 32 years before ANH), which would make him around 36 in ROTJ (which is 4 years after ANH).

I'll assume you meant FotR, and RotK won because it was for the trilogy as a whole. They weren't going to award Jackson an Oscar every year. or for just part of the whole movie.

"Look what I gotta ****ing go around with: ****ing diapers! I got ****ing diapers! I **** in my pants every day! I can't walk, I can't hump." he did sell his character as Spanish way more than Pacino ever did in both this and Scarface combined.

Viggo can speak 5 languages fluently, including Spanish.

And thinking that FOTR was more worthy of Oscar gold than ROTK is hardly an unpopular opinion. In fact in the 13 years since both films have been out I don't know that I've actually ever seen anyone state otherwise.

Pacino can wear really big shoes with thick heels.

All he needs is a 3/4 leather jacket that he wore for the last 20 years in most of his roles.

Funny, I always thought TT was the best of the three. The whole night battle at Helm's Deep was beautifully done, as was Gollum's introduction and characterization. Now THAT may be an unpopular opinion. I always thought FOTR moved very slowly (though, so did the book, so I've never faulted Jackson for it). I do agree that ROTK is the worst of the three, though. Overly long, and I've always felt the whole Paths of the Dead segment could've been skipped like the Barrow-Downs, Tom Bombadil, and Saruman's Shire takeover, without losing anything (and possibly gaining by it's absence).

I just stumbled on this thread, and I could be re-hashing here, but here's an unpopular opinion: I think the Watchmen movie was fantastic, especially the director's cut (not the overly-long Ultimate Cut, though), and the ending at least was better/more reasonable than the comic. Veidt's plan just makes a heck of a lot more sense without the whole alternate universe Cthulu subplot that takes it out of its grungy reality and into fantasy.

That would definitely qualify as "unpopular" thought I do love TTT. Because the film is all about Helm's Deep though I do prefer the theatrical cut since it gets to that segment so much quicker.
