The Unpopular Opinions (and Fallout, I guess...)
 
Today's been my first Saturday since school started up again so I've been watching movies all day. Mostly some comic book movies on TNT with occasional breaks. While watching these movies it came to my attention that I hold some rather unpopular opinions.
  • I like Ang Lee's Hulk more than the newer one.
  • I like the Watchmen movie more than the comic.
  • I think that Daredevil is almost as good as The Dark Knight.
  • The 2004 Punisher is awesome and anyone who says different is wrong.
  • Akira is some horseshit.
  • And most controversial of all, Ben Affleck is one of the most underrated actors of all time.

These are just a few of some very unpopular opinions that I have. Do any of you out there have some opinions that you feel are rather unpopular? Feel free to put them out there because I just threw nearly all of my credibility out the window in one quick post.

Highlander 2 is a good movie.

Now we wait.

I acknowledge the existence of Devil May Cry 2; in fact, it was the first DMC game I played, and holds a special place in my heart.

I will defend my opinions point for point.

It feels like a more complete movie than the Norton one (which felt rather disjointed). Maybe if they restored his original cut, I would feel different. As it stands, I enjoy the Hulk as a good movie with compelling themes. Sure there were some bits that didn't quite work but it didn't kill the entire thing.

I don't care too much for Alan Moore's writing (he's overrated in my book even though I love V for Vendetta) and the art didn't really grab me. Plus, so much of the book went into overexplaining things that didn't need explanation and I thought replacing the squid in the movie was a great idea.

Have you seen the director's cut?! Despite sloppy execution in some areas, it beat Nolan to the punch much earlier.

It was a great revenge movie and a better Punisher movie than the other films to carry the name. I don't even like the Punisher as a character but I found that movie to be damn right compelling.

Great animation, cool concepts, interesting characters; all hampered by a shitty plot. I mean, what the hell was that shit? And I'm not even talking about the ending. The enter thing felt so laborious and uninspired for a film with such a great concept.

Yeah the Akira movie was pretty crap. That's not even an unpopular opinion. It's the right one.

Bells 08-20-2011 11:29 PM

Akira sucks... really.

and Evangelion (old one) is fun because it's quirky, and it's backstage story is actually almost better than the anime itself. But it's not the Hallmark of Anime as Art as some claim.

I Enjoyed Dragonball Evolution as a movie because i wasn't expecting it to be faithfull representation of the Anime, so as that, it worked.

Not gonna defend the plot too hard (Shitty seems pretty harsh to me but whatever) but c'mon. Really?

I grade things almost solely on story (with a few notable exceptions) and I just didn't find it compelling. It didn't live up anywhere near the promise that it had at the start.

Cyclops is cooler than Wolverine.

Ed, Edd, and Eddy was a great cartoon that actually tried a lot of inventive concepts while keeping to the same formula.

Blondes aren't all they're hyped up to be.
