Unpopular movie or tv show opinions

[rushmore223]

I'm just going to take this time to get some things off my chest.

The Phantom Menace is as good as any of the OT Star Wars movies.
Jar Jar Binks is awesome.
Return of the Jedi is better than Empire.
Schumacher's Batman Forever is better than Nolan's entire Dark Knight trilogy.
Schumacher's Batman & Robin is awesome.
Batman Begins is Nolan's only good Batman movie.
The Last Crusade is the best Indy movie.
Bryan Singer's X-Men movies are better than any movie ever released by Marvel Studios.

Go ahead and hate me as much as you want internet, I don't care at all

Is this the Internet version of suicide by cop?

I thought it was meant as a joke until I got to toward the bottom.

 

[pturtle]

I don't disagree with everything Bingo said. Some of it was pretty crazy though

The Jar Jar Binks and the Joel Schumacher Batman comments really stood out though.

We should make a poll for the most stand out ridiculous unpopular opinions in this thread. I think this one takes the cake

I do agree that TPM is the best of the prequels (not as good as the OT), I do agree the Jar Jar hate is over the top (he's still goofy and not awesome), I do agree BF is a good movie (not better than any of Nolan's), and I do agree Return of the Jedi has the best scenes in the whole saga (but as a whole it's not better than ESB). I don't agree LC is the best but don't think it's an unpopular opinion to think so. As a kid it was my favorite of the bunch.

Everything that sucks is awesome. Everything that's awesome is inferior to things that suck.

I'm loving these responses. These honestly are my opinions.

I absolutely love TPM, it might be massive nostalgia or something, but whatever it is I really love the movie.

I've always loved ROTJ, it was my favorite as a kid and still is my favorite as an adult. I don't hate Empire or anything, but its not my favorite and I'm not going to say its my favorite just because the internet has deemed its the best.

I think Batman '89 is the best Batman movie of all-time, but Batman Forever and Batman Returns are tied for my favorite. I'm just not a fan of Nolan's forced realism in his Batman movies. When I'm watching a Batman movie thats the last thing I want to see. Batman Begins had the least amount of this which is why its the only one of his that I liked. I'm also not a fan that his Gotham City is just Chicago, since I've been to Chicago more times than I can count in my life that just stuck out so much to me. I thought Ledger's performance of the Joker was great and really unique but that was the only thing I enjoyed at all about The Dark Knight. Both TDK and TDRK were both too long and boring for my taste.

As far as B&R goes I don't think the movie is flawless or anything, there sure are some cringe worthy scenes, but overall I do think its 2 hours of non-stop fun that never lags. I really loved that Schumacher put the effort into turning Gotham City into a place of fantasy with lots of awesome set pieces and great work with miniatures. I also loved that his Batmobile designs definitely had design cues from a bat and were not just a tank.

Of everything you had to say, I can agree with the Gotham is Chicago point. Especially after how BB portrayed it, it was quite jarring, and a bit of an aesthetic letdown.

I can TOTALLY see what you mean about Chicago. There's nothing that takes me out of a movie faster than seeing a scene set somewhere I've been that I KNOW isn't right OR seeing somewhere I've been representing something else. So I totally get you.

I work in DC, and therefore I'm very sensitive to DC-based films and how well they portray the city. Winter Soldier actually did a pretty good job, I have to say...the location of the Triskelion in VA outside of the city is really the only place it could exist and have DC as a backdrop with DC building height restrictions. The only part where it's obviously not the city is in the Fury chase scene. And the shots filmed here are great - in fact, I walk past Cap's apartment building almost every day (it's not ACTUALLY an apartment building, but still).

If you're watching a movie set in DC and you want to know if it's really there, count the stories in buildings. Based on DC law, there aren't any higher than 7 stories in the city.

The big flaw in most films is the Subway. Metro rarely lets filming happen in the system, so you often see people running down the escalator onto the Metro...only to be somewhere else. Usually Baltimore. Along Came a Spider & House of Cards have this problem. Although House of Cards' Season One did a really good job making it LOOK like the Metro. By Season Two, they didn't bother.

Star Wars is better than Empire.

 

[RIDDICK]

Star Wars is better than Empire

 

[EVILFACE]

Wrath of Khan is better than Empire.

 

[KitFisto]

Wrath of Khan is better than Empire.

Wrath of Khan is an incredible movie. People discount it because it's Star Trek, but it's a great film.

 

[KitFisto]

Yeah, mine

 

[RIDDICK]

I'm probably too young to understand, but... Star Trek is a bad thing or something?
Because for me Star Trek have been, and always will be, better than Star Wars.

I'm a big Trek fan, but even in the nerd community many nerds say it's nerdy. My dad got me into it as a kid. I saw all of the films in the theater and of course got in TOS in syndicated reruns. The only series I didn't like at all was Enterprise.

 

[thecapn]

Trek and Wars are apples and oranges to me. The only reason people compare them is because of their overall popularity, how old they are and the fact that they sound alike. Beyond both being in space...they're not alike at all. Wars is space opera/fantasy. Trek is allegory (at least, it's SUPPOSED to be).

That said, I'll pick Trek over Wars any day. Though TWOK better than Empire? Hmm. Personally I like Undiscovered Country better, with it's take on the Klingon/Soviet Union and the Holmes-style mystery.

Unpopular opinion: I LIKE The Final Frontier. Oh, it has it's faults, but it's really the closest we came to getting another TOS episode. Not to mention the characters just act like they did in TOS. The fire scene is still fantastic. People who don't get the "marshmelon" joke would cringe at some of TOS. For me, wrapping this movie and comparing it with religious iconography, the fact that so many of Earth's religions are similar (just like the multiple races' religions in the movie) is interesting. And the view of God and the Devil as two flips of the same coin, as well as "destroying" the supreme being is a fascinating concept. I just wish it had been fleshed out more and had a few rewrites before it hit the camera.
