Unpopular movie or tv show opinions

[Chakor]

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.

I've had people explain these things to me before, LOL. I'm 21 years old.

Re: Jaws - To me, the opening felt like half an hour of the camera panning around the open beach. It got more entertaining as it went along, though I couldn't bring myself to watch the whole film without some chocolate milk and a double chocolate doughnut. I found the final confrontation with the shark well done, and the characters are iconic for a reason.

Re: Halloween - I understand the whole suspense thing, but it just doesn't jive with me. The first time I watched it, I couldn't figure out if the film was trying to be more slasher or more porn. I'm just not entertained by watching a guy in a William Shatner mask go around slicing up baby sitters. I will admit that the best part of the film (for me of course) was Donald Pleasence. He's a great actor, but not enough for me to care about watching the film again.

Re: Chainsaw - I just plain hate grindhouse-style films, so this didn't sit well with me at all. I found the female lead very annoying and I thought she would never shut the **** up. As far as the rest of the story goes, I personally found the whole thing utter senseless dribble. People complain about MCU films being mindless - clearly they haven't watched this stuff, LOL. Worst of all is that I'm told that the actors had to endure what is close to absolute torture during production. I'd sooner have two hours of root canal work done before I'd ever watch TCM again.

Re: Friday the 13th - Now that you've brought it up, I will admit that the one thing that I will give the F13 franchise points for is the summer camp atmosphere. However, much like Halloween and Chainsaw, I just don't understand why the story is given so much praise. Everything that happened, happened because two camp counselors left Jason to drown while they were living-it-up... WTF. Utter senseless dribble, IMHO.

And as far as the physical appearance of the killers go - again, I'm not impressed. I just don't understand the appeal at all.

I will admit that the one major exception to my dislike for slasher films is the Scream franchise. I like those films mainly because they're basically making fun of the previously mentioned horror classics, and it's something that I find creative. Plus the killer actually has a cool costume, IMHO.

As you said, for the most part I just prefer action films above all other things (MCU films for example). Now, if you ask me, monster films are where it's at when it comes to slashers vs. monsters. Films like Alien, Predator, Pumpkinhead, Gremlins etc., have cool monsters that are most definitely classics for a reason. Of course, everything I've written here is strictly my opinion - it doesn't mean I'm right. It's nothing personal against the people behind the films or the fandom of these films. Though I have to admit that the slasher fandom seems to have the most ***holes of any fandom I've ever witnessed, LOL.

Is there any horror that you liked? Full horror, not a parody.

Is there a full horror movie that you enjoy watching or that scared you?

Did you see the yahoo link? I think is a generational thing
Younger people want more thrills and more action.
Thats why fast and furious is so popular and transformers.
Thats not a joke or insult either, those movies build momentum but younger people need instant gratification.

Hmmm... Well, as I said, I enjoy the Alien franchise, the first Predator, and the original Pumpkinhead. Maybe the original Dracula in terms of B&W classics, but that's it. Horror just isn't my thing.

I've seen them all.

Rick Baker's special effects in AWIL are historical, but what killed the film itself for me was the whole "let's mix a little SNL in with it" and I just felt like it couldn't decide if it was a horror or a comedy - I like steak and I like ice cream, but not on the same plate.

I'll admit, Englund's Freddy is cool, but I don't care about watching the film again.

I saw the original version of The Thing and thought it was good, but don't care for watching it again.

As for NOTLD, I don't really care for zombie films.

And as for The Fly, I saw the remake with Jeff Goldblum and thought it was good for what it is, but not really my thing.

Thats a pretty good list. I like all of them besides avengers lol.
I do think men in black 2 is much better than 3. I loved the villain and i loved the worms. I enjoy 2 A lot. Specially when jay is at the post office. Thats pretty awesome when the aliens reveal themselves. I liked the guy with two heads lol

 

[Chakor]

IMHO, the best part about MIBII was Frank the Pug. It's a shame that his full version of "I Will Survive" wasn't used in the film.

 

[crows]

It is funny u have jurassic park in ur top 10 list because a younger person could say what you pointed out about jaws of jurassic park. ( long boring movie about people stuck in an island where the only could thing is a t rex and raptor attack that takes 10 minutes )

 

[RIDDICK]

I wasn't really impressed with Saw

Same. The first film is interestin' but Cary Elwes' acting is cheesy and takes me out...

 

[Snake Plissken]

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've probably seen the film starting half way through 200 times on TV, and always finished it.

Robert Shaw was perfect. I can't believe they got anything out of him when he was **** faced the whole time.
