Unpopular Opinions You Hold About Movies

[No-Personality]

Well, I actually view Troll 2 as more of a sincere, sickly surreal masterpiece. Rather than a comedy. People keep viewing it as a comedy, and that's why they're let down. (Your view is becoming increasingly more popular.)

Upon a re-watch, and being fully aware of the films numerous flaws and problems....I still honestly like Prometheus. Now, if you compare it to Alien, of course it doesn't hold a single fucking candle to that film. Its not so much a character thing, because honestly aside from Ridley the other characters in Alien hardly had any depth to them either. Its more that Alien had a much better structure and interesting conflict than in Prometheus. On the other hand, though, maybe I've had my standards lowered by so many sci-fi blockbuster movies and bad horror films in the past decade or so, but I found Prometheus to be a "refreshing" experience, if I were to sum it up in one word. Now, as for the plot-holes, there have already been numerous instances in which many of them have been explained, so I won't go into detail there, but the film is as plot-hole heavy as some people make it out to be (though it does still have them). I think what really bugs people about the film is that it doesn't really give anyone a lot of answers. Personally....that's what I kind of like about it. I like that the film doesn't feel like it should be explaining everything away. To me, the most interesting thing about Alien is how much you were left just flat-out not knowing at the end of the film, and its what kept me thinking about in the most. On that end, I really like how I only ever had a vague idea of what really went down with the aliens in Prometheus, but I find that the interesting thing about this film is that each time I re-watch it, I discover new things that I hadn't noticed before, which is something that I love to see in a film.

On the whole, I wouldn't deny that Prometheus has a lot of problems, and if someone called it a bad film I wouldn't try to argue with them about it, but for me it holds enough merits and is just interesting enough for me that I enjoy the movie as a stand-alone piece each time that I watch it.

I think Lethal Weapon 3 and 4 are kind of underrated. They're not quite as great as the first two, but as far as cop movies go they're pretty good and a lot of fun.

Lethsl Weapon 3 was generic but from what I remember, 4 is on par with the first two imo. It also remains Jet Li's only good Hollywood movie

I actually liked Romeo Must Die, myself, but I haven't seen it in ages either, so maybe its really horse-piss that I only liked as a kid. That said, yeah, most of his American movies are monkey-balls.

I liked Romero Must Die as a kid (and love Aaliyah) but I doubt it holds out.

Fixed.

Also, I don't think the action scenes really compare to what Jet Li has done in his actual marital arts films, but as an American action film I found RMD to be a pretty decent flick. I still need to watch it again, though.

I thought he was great as the bad guy in LW4. I know he usually played good guys before then but what's wrong with playing against type? He was pretty brutal in that one.

[gunswordfist]

Yeah, Li is good at the whole serial killer mood thing. It's a shame that he barely does villain roles. The One is a shitty movie but Jet being evil and a hero in that was a lot of fun

I understand other criticism about Star Wars, but I never had a problem with Greedo shooting first, and still think this point of contention is garbage.

The idea of making Han look like a good role model is hilarious.

I think the walkie talkies were the worst change he made because it's very insulting to his audience's intelligence.

[Dr. Insomniac]

I was also very ashamed when he decided to remove that one wrinkle from Sebastian Shaw's face in Return of the Jedi. To see such a drastic edit absolutely made me cross, I swear on me mum.

Let's talk about the good changes instead. This is the best one.
