Star Wars was never good
80s Pop Culture ruined everything
50s is the best decade for movies
Current TV or Film aren't great but the way they are provided is alright

Original King Kong is fucking shit.
Hitchcock is overrated as fuck.
Clerks 2 is the funniest comedy of this millennium.
There's Something About Mary is the best comedy made after Airplane!

Days of Thunder is great
Tfa is crap

Timothy Dalton is the best James Bond

Stop using trash as an adjective

>New Hope is better than Empire.
>Barry Lyndon > 2001
I agree with those.

>Kobayashi>Kurosawa
My nigger, I loved his Human Condition trilogy, haven't seen any of his other movies outside it but I find him to be a much better director than Kurosawa.

>TFA is crap
I don't think that's unpopular opinion. Everyone I've spoken with seems to hate it but not as much as the prequels. It doesn't really do anything new.

Pierce Brosnan is the best James Bond.
Goodfellas > Casino
Showdown In Little Tokyo is the best action film made.

I did not like District 9.

>Get sprayed by ayyy juice

Fucking stupid.

The 1976 remake of King Kong is underrated and is a better movie than jacksons by a long shot

Hangover, Tropic Thunder and Superbad are all borderline unwatchable embarrassing trash.

>>Gladiator sucks
>>Marvel Studios and its success is damaging popular cinema
Those are the only things you got right.

...

where do you think you are.

I don't understand the love for The Hangover yet they've managed to make three of them and normies seem to love them. Is it something I'm not getting? I could barely make it through Tropic Thunder and Super Bad is terrible.

>villeneuve sucks
>kubrick sucks

correct. most of the rest are correct too, but these are the most important ones.

Just because it's unpopular does not mean it's wrong

Departed is better than the chink version, both King Kong remakes are better than the original, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo remake is better than the original, De Palma Scarface is better than the original.

>South Park is Parker & Stone's worst work by far.
tell me about the quality of cannibal - the musical.

Shit movies with good reviews:
>The Descent
>La La Land
>A History of Violence
>Four Lions
>Spirited Away

Good movies with mediocre reviews:
>Waiting
>Lights Out
>Nacho Libre

name another director with a room full of boxes dedicated solely to making his films as perfect as possible.

don't feel strongly on Villeneavueave

Hating popular things is not unpopular you cucks

>>Nacho Libre
tis so much, this is what makes me want to be a filmmaker it's so amazing

Also, this thread is interesting.

You are so obviously a failed movie director it hurts.

>Rogue One was worse than Ghostbusters
>Suicide Squad was the worst comic book film of the year
>The Forest was awful (though I doubt anyone would debate this)
>The Shallows was better than it's given credit for

Firefly is the most overrated cringeworthy TV series ever, which is supported by batshit insane liberals and "fans" who defend a serirs filmed in a backyard using second hand Starship Troopers Terran armour.

First season of Game of Thrones is the best tv season ever made.

Carnivale was the superior, early 00s show that was cancelled, honestly fuck Firefly and all of its fans. I don't see the love for it.

The remake is better than the original.

This.
Normies all are contrarian edge wannabes because of youtubers like that gook filthy frank and that numale iCuckzTV

No way dude Coppola made like three incredible films 40 years ago and sucks now

>William Friedkin is one of the greatest ever filmmakers
No way dude Friedkin made like three incredible films 40 years ago and just sucks now

It was pretty revolutionary. I had so much hope after that first season for the future of the show. [Melancholic sigh]

>>Kobayashi > Kurosawa
>>Marvel Studios and its success is damaging popular cinema

These are true, the rest are memes.

It was a good film.

Star Wars is the worst thing to ever happen to pop culture.

Avatar and John Carter were good films
British comedy is overrated
Tarantino is an overrated cuck
Reece Witherspoon, and Emma Stone are underrated
In general children's films are far superior to mature films
Marvel films are no better than DC, both b grade borefests
Chick flicks are underrated
There isn't a single scary horror movie in existence

>Avatar and John Carter were good films
Agreed on both accounts. But "good" as in "perfectly fine popcorn flicks". Not a masterpiece worth killing yourself over or the worst movie of the year as they were respectively hailed as.

I didn't start hearing otherwise until modern SJW revisionism.

>There isn't a single scary horror movie in existence
basicly this
only horror i was afraid of was grudge 2 but i was way younger

The last episode of Sherlock (S04E03) was dogshit.

You're more right in this post than wrong.
I still can't name a better film than Willy Wonka & the Factory.

Holy fuck man, ten billion out of ten, I literally popped a vein in my temple due to rage.

The Village is a good movie

*BRRRRRAAAAAAAAAP*

The MCU is the worst thing that has happened to movies, and in second place, prequel/origin stories.

Dr. Strangelove is Kubrick's best film.
2001 is shit.

And you're right OP, Punch Drunk Love is by far PTA's best movie.

> Kung Fury was unfunny and predictable

I agree with this. It has some good jokes, but it is a great example of a parody that tries way too hard. It comes off gaudy more than an anything.

And scene where he meets the viking chicks goes on way to long.

>>The Simpsons was decent up to season 13

I like to say the Golden Age is 1-10 with 11 being very good and 12-13 just the last gasps.

Well, I disagree with that. Golden age is 3-8, 1-2 are great, but it's really a different show, 9-11 are good with quite a few bad episodes, and 12-13 have a lot of bad bad episodes with a few good ones.

>TDK is as good as most people say it is

>unpopular

What I meant was it's not overrated

Season 2 is the single most underrated season. It is a treasure.

Milla Jovovich was good in the Jeanne d'Arc movie.

I liked "Collateral" a lot.

One way to consider it as a good piece of genre filmmaking with an excellent sense of "time and place"; this is Jonathan Rosenbaum's approach in his review at: jonathanrosenbaum.net/2004/08/art-in-action/

Jonathan is of course right about the film's sense of time and place, but this isn't what I really liked about it. Nor did I particularly like the genre film button-pushing: will the killer get to kill his victims, will he get away annoyed me as methods of holding my attention.

What I liked most was the way certain formal elements functioned, particularly the moment-to-moment sense of imbalance Mann creates in composition and editing. In this sense, the film reminded me of "Ali," which I also liked a lot, though its tone is very different. Unbalanced compositions that place characters on the edge of the frame are answered by differently unbalanced ones that follow, and the whole film seems to be teetering on more than one edge. This is entirely appropriate to its story, or course, and likely enhances one's experience of it, but I think it also goes beyond that, in that it uses its particular combination of composition and rhythms to create a way of seeing.

This connects with the other element I liked, the "dreamy" one, made most explicit in the extremely high helicopter views following moving cars, but also in the film's lighting, in the choice of bizarre backgrounds, in one's sense of the characters as "floating" in their traps for much of the film. It's not a Blake Edwards movie, though, because Mann's compositions and compositional imbalances are hard-edged and precise, and he often uses editing beautifully to enhance one's feeling of displacement.

I see very few new Hollywood movies, but unlike most of the ones I do see this seems to me to be real cinema, clearly articulated visually in space and time, rather than images merely illustrating a script, the "picture-book" mode of many narrative films I dislike.

Godfather 2's first half does not jell well with its second half.

Starship Troopers is to subtle for its own good.

I genuinely feel bad for the mods of this board.

>I liked "Collateral" a lot.
The movie would have been better if Jamie died.

yes but it's an unpopular opinion thread, so saying it's properly rated is by definition a popular opinion

collateral is a collaterally bad film

Agree with those, especially about Kobayashi being better than Kurosawa. The rest is shit.

>The prequels are good, and definitely better than TFA which is bad and unoriginal.
>Kill Bill is best Tarantino movie and top tier kino
>Breaking Bad is meh
>All MCU movies are just one and the same movie. Same problem as with TFA: safe and unoriginal, using known properites and nostalgia just to make as much money as possible.
>Cloud Atlas is good

All Star Wars movies are bad. TFA is passable. Over the course of now 8 movies I have yet to feel the slightest emotional attachment to any character. All the dialogue of the Lucas movies is atrocious.

Tron Legacy is a 10/10 if you don't give a shit about the story.

The original Arthur movie is the ultimate romantic comedy. Nothing will ever surpass it.

Rocky IV is the best film about boxing or sports in general.

Èlle is a bunch of pretencious french movie cliches. It baffles me that it won a golden globe.

Game of Thrones is just an edgier LOTR.

*leans into mic*
WRONG

Which one(s)?

the original Halloween has aged like shit and isn't worth watching anymore

Rogue One is great, Sup Forums just loves to be contrarian about it.
TFA was also decent, but at least Sup Forums gives it valid criticism.
Oh and TDK and TDKR are the best capeshit films and among the best movies ever made, though, like star wars, Sup Forums does give them valid criticisms as well buried in all the forced memeshit..

Watch moar, pleb

>New Hope is better than Empire.
This is correct

ANH is a fantastic movie about how anyone can stand up and achieve greatness.
It's the story of a farm boy who isn't a jedi knight, it's the son of a dark lord, isn't anyone special at all. Who is presented with a chance to make a difference, and he seizes it and does something no one else could have. It's great. And in some small way it makes you want do to amazing things too.

Empire is grim dark bullshit. everyone gets fucked. And all that "anyone can achieve greatness" goes out the window because Luke isn't anyone anymore, he's the son of a dark lord/chosen one.

DC > Marvel

YES!! They thought they were better than everyone else which made them the worst.

It's actually good.

The hobbit films were really enjoyable. i dont understand why autists on here can't see past the annoying little details. obviously they were never gonna be as good as lotr

>Casino Royale (2006) is the only truly good Bond movie

Casino Royale was a bumbling mess of a movie that couldn't follow a coherent plot to save its life. Horrible pacing, inconsistent conflicts, awful dialogue.

It's essentially a trap Bond movie. Anyone that lists Casino Royale as the best Bond movie can immediately have their opinion discarded, as they didn't pass the litmus test.

>tfw too dumb to appreciate casino royal

Maybe you're just easily entertained.
