Unpopular movie opinions...

[KY Gentleman]

I'm tired of movies based on comic books.

I really didn't like "Saving Private Ryan". I thought that it was a cinematic "Sgt. Rock".

Ryan is a seriously flawed film for many reasons beyond this thread.
However, Hanks' comment to the BAR man who wanted to leave the patrol
is most compelling. That distance remains forever.

I find Notorious with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman boring. Not Hitchcock's best film.

 

[Atomic Age]

"The Dark Knight" is overrated.

The Dark Knight is basically just an elaborate 70's cop film. Another watch it once and forget about it film.

Julia Roberts is not a pretty woman. I think that says more about me than about her. lol She has a frighteningly large mouth and when mixed with her laugh, she scares me the way an overly expressive clown would. I can't sit through any of her movies.

cameron diaz is no better in that category.

Almost forgot, I just don't find Will Farrell and Jack Black funny. Never have. I hated Will Farrell when he was on SNL, one of the reasons I stopped watching it back then... in particular that cheerleading skit...

I thought "Stranger Than Fiction" was actually not bad. Other than that, half of his movies are 'see and forget', the other half are 'can't even be bothered to read the review'

I've always thought that Cameron Diaz is a dead ringer for Zippy out of Rainbow.

From now on when I see her all I will see is Zippy - spot on!

I've never seen a Hitchcock film that I truly enjoyed . . . even Rope

I always found him very hit and miss. Some of his stuff I absolutely loved (Full Metal Jacket, Spartacus, Dr Strangelove), while some of it (Eyes Wide Shut for a start) was utter twaddle. In some ways thed most bitterly disappointing one was A Clockwork Orange. I adored the book and the film has one or two sublime moments (Alex imagining himself whipping the soon-to-be-crucified Christ was a superbly shot sequence). It has dated very badly, but what really makes it intolerable for me is the fact that they changed the ending by arbitrarily doing away with the book's epilogue in which Alex comes home to discover that all his friends have grown up and left his childish gang violence behind, and he is alone. A very significant point of the satire, cut because it didn't give Hollywood a 'happy ending'.... gah. (I have also heard that the first US print of the novel made a similar omission, not sure if this is true, though).

I think he ruined The Shining as well. The book is a very well written account of a sane man's descent into madness under the influence of malign forces. So what does he do? He casts Jack Nicholson. He may as well have been wearing a T-shirt with 'Potential Psycho' on it from the start...

Check out Kubricks first movie, 'The Killing' (1956)

I'll give you that one. I did watch and enjoy that film many years ago. It is very un-Kubrick-like...

I really dislike "Dirty Dancing" except music.
And I agree with the "Romeo and Juliet" thing : satiric, not romantic...
Yes, I have no heart ^^

lol

I thought that Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen, Twilight Series) , terrible series of movies and books by the way, reminded me of Grover from Sesame Streets. He kinda got a weird mouth too.

Did you ever see "Blackmail" or "The 39 steps"? I think his early UK films were better than his US films.

Then for God's sake, stay away from Lifeboat.

Paths of Glory

Hi

For war movies, you need to see Paths of Glory. Intense movie.

There are a LARGE number of "actors" and "actresses" who get through their career by being themselves.

Ronald Reagen
George Clooney
Clint Eastwood
Sly Stallone
James Garner
Julia Roberts

I guess that's what you call a good job, getting paid millions to be yourself.

Later

I thought Saving Private Ryan was pretty much a blood & guts fest.

Nicole Kidman can't carry a movie.

I'm afraid I have to agree with this.
