Unpopular movie or tv show opinions

[RIDDICK]

Riddick...how can you be so ridiculous...

Come on, the pun was right there! How could you not use it...

Prisoner of Askaban was the worst HP adaption...

For sure, but still a better film than all the later ones.

 

[Kamandi]

any others that were better as films?
Oh...two more

The MIST
The Shawshank Redemption

Who says all Stephen Kings Books turn into bad film adaptations???

The Shining
2001: A Space Odyssey
Fight Club
Trainspotting
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Dune


OK, just kidding on the last one. That film is a hot mess but I love the design work.

I really liked Dune, the extended version especially. It could've been better, but I don't think it deserves the hate it gets.

How long were the three of them out there camping in the woods? Holy crap. And she couldn't write a few more pages for a satisfying resolution to some characters? I felt worse about Dobby dying than these characters story concluding. A CG elf who I hated.

I was just glad the movies were over. And ended on the horrible 'aged' kids.

The bad makeup kinda killed the gravitas a bit for me too but the book ending worked fine IMO.

 

[cmiller99]

My least favourite adaptation of the series is probably Half Blood Prince mainly because it sketches over far too much of the importance Horcrux details that made them really interesting in the books to focus on the romantic subplot stuff, leading to some half-assed excuses for plot problems in the last film particularly (I'm thinking of where they're going to Gringotts specifically. In the movie it's just "oh I'll be able to sense where this mystery Horcrux is in the vault despite never having been able to feel any of the previous Horcruxes before", whereas in the book he knows what the cup looks like, even though he's not 100% sure that the Horcrux in the vault is going to be the cup).

I don't know if that's an unpopular opinion though.

A good movie, but WAY too much exposition for the LSD crown at the end.....I always just turn it off after he goes into the Monolith.

2010>2001

Maybe unpopular?

I don't think that even counts as exposition, because it didn't make sense to a lot of people at first I feel Kubrick just didn't know how to interpret what Clarke depicted in that part of the movie and some others.

Book or movie? I haven't seen 2010 till this day and don't quite feel like doing it any time soon, the book unfortunately follows the events of the movie and not the first novel, it was a decent sequel, but the scope in 2010 and 2061 was much smaller, they're building up to something bigger, and the characters weren't that good imo.

I did love the epilogue of 2010, or was it 2061? The one with the Europans telling legends about their world.

Haven't read Time's Eye yet either, I'm dying to read them.

I don't love Terminator, Alien, or Predator. I haven't seen all of the movies in each respective franchise and don't care to see the ones I missed. T1 is a great movie but I don't love the movie. I can't quote it and only watch out every few years. I actually think Terminator: Salvation is enjoyable but again I don't love it.

I have never seen nor care to see Robocop.

 

[Snake Plissken]

This isn't the heresy thread.

Why you little s...

T1 is a great movie.

... ALL IS FORGIVEN! Go in peace.

So many bannable offenses...

Hating the first Alien movie makes Baby Jesus cry.

Commando- just saw it again the other night- pure bad bad cheese.....totally ridiculous yet it is appealing

2010 a disgrace and I'm being kind.....

2001 utter untopable perfection

Ok so uh, here's my piece. There's only one Star Wars movie I've seen more than once, and that's... Revenge of the Sith. I've seen it around 20 times. I used to watch it once every month when the DVD came out. So, yeah...
