I’m a huge Star Wars fan. I really liked the Sequel Trilogy. Someone can be a Star Wars nerd, and still enjoy The Last Jedi. I understand why fans hate it, but for me it's fun to watch. I don’t like to take it too seriously. Also, I enjoyed Solo. My mantra Trust no one and you will never be betrayed is from that movie.
That all said, I love the lore! Jar Jar the Sith, Darth Plagueis, the fan films, the theory—It’s so cool.
Nature documentaries are the best
Inception is one of the worst executions of an interesting idea. My imagination can imagine anything. Hollywood's? Well I guess you imagined too hard so now there's people with guns. Oh and this applies to everyone.
The Godfather is meh at best and the acting is melodramatic and overplayed.
Horror movies are unfairly judged because most people who do not like horror movies watch them for the wrong reasons.
I don't like the lord of the rings series.
It's not bad bad but with that budget, actors etc it could have been so much better :-/
The hobbit: kind of the same feeling.
Can you elaborate on what specifically you didn't like about LOTR? Peter Jackson has always had a penchant for using cutting-edge CG tech in his films, to the point that some people call them tech demos. I think WETA's effects stand out as the best parts of the series, but the cinematography, sets, and acting are about as good as it gets in my opinion
The Hobbit, however....
Upvoted for actual unpopular opinion.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original) was a terrible film. The only reason people say it is the greatest classic horror film is because of nostalgia. The acting was horrible and it wasn't scary in the slightest (I understand it was probably for the time).
There's nothing great about Studio Ghibli movies, they have appreciable hand-drawn effort but that isn't what makes a movie.
All of them? No. But there are so many great things in them you can't just bury them away like Spirited away, your neighbour Totoro...
You don't like them? I understand that totally, but they are masterpieces.
Like I just hate the Bolero and think Mosart is 'meh' I guess (toccata&fugue in D minor by Bach, now that rocks!).
I just don't like Star Wars and I like sci-fi in general. But Star Wars is just one of those stories I can't make myself to like.
I remember fondly the prequels with pod racing and that red black guy with double lightsaber. I wached those movies as a child.
Later I tried watching all of them and I could not bring myself to finish even one. The dated effects (good for their time) just took me out of the story way too much.
I also tried waching the new ones, but they just felt boring so I dropped them.
I don't know what is it about Star Wars, but I just can't bring myself to like them even with nostalgia by my side.
If Pulp Fiction is on, unless it's been a few years I'll probably switch the channel, if Django Unchained is on though...I'm grabbing a snack and watching it everytime. This isn't to say Pulp Fiction sucks, just think Django's more entertaining.
Citizen Kane and 2001: A Space Odyssey suck now.
There are old movies that have aged much better, like The Man in the White Suit and Colossus: The Forbin Project. These should be the ones we call classics.
