Unpopular Opinions about Movies (and Television Shows)

Not so much an opinion as a fact but I haven’t seen any pirates of the carribean movies

You really should watch them (at least the original one, if you are not really into it.)

What are the most overrated movies In your opinion?

I think the Star Wars franchise is way to overrated. Sure, they are very good, classic movies (at least that is what it used to be), but other then that, why is it so overrated? So many SW comics, books, TV Shows, anthologies, why? Is just a movie franchise, like any other. And the Internet is always flooded with SW theories and such. I love the movies, and they are definitely one of my favourites. But I don’t consider anything outside the movies to be cannon to me. I just don’t care about any extended universe that they keep creating. In conclusion, SW is a great franchise, but WAY TO OVERRATED.

I also think the Disney movies are overrated. You always see pictures on Disney Princess on walls of Kindergardens, and people always sing those songs from the movies. Again good movies, but just why I see Disney Princesses EVERTWHERE?

Also Minions. There is nothing special about them, but I see them everywhere. And too much hype for that minions movie. Like in the case of Disney, I SEE MINIONS EVERYWHERE!

What you describe here is the fact that these franchises are over-marketed, meaning that too many products, tie-in stories, etc. are being made around them. To think that something is over-marketed is not the same with thinking that something is overrated.

Greatest Showman is overrated.

Harry Potter is overrated.

Ok, I just want to say that the greatest showman is an expertly crafted masterpiece of a movie that never should have been made. I say this because though the movie itself is good, the idea of glorifying P T Barnem in the way that it does is just sickening.

Greatest showman was the best musical i have ever seen.
Which is saying quite a bit.
Most of the musicals o have seen are stuff like frozen and tangled.
Solo was trash. The story didn’t really match with anything else in the SWU or the SWCU

I. Just. HATE. ATTACK OF THE TITAN. I’ve never watched a single episode, and this is because I just can’t. I watched ONCE a Film Theory video about AotT. ONCE. And I couldn’t sleep AN ENTIRE MONTH!!! You can say that I am silly, but that show is just scarring the slags out of me!

The overrated movie topic is closed, so back to unpopular opinions…

I think Phantom Menace is the best Film from the prequel trilogy. I really don’t see why people hate Jar Jar so much.

Also, Revenge of the Sith, while is a good movie, is too dark for me, so is my least favorite from the prequel trilogy.

Back when I had seen only 1, 4, 5, and 6, Phantom was my favorite Star Wars movie (This was a while ago). I always thought Jar-Jar was hilarious and that the fight scenes were more exciting. A couple years later, I watched 2, and that became my favorite, and then 3 did when I finally watched that. Revenge of the Sith still remains my favorite of the original 6 movies.

That’s true, but I loved the movie, and have nostalgia with the Greatest Show on Earth. [quote=“LegoDavid, post:233, topic:44421”]

Those things are way over marketed. Rating-wise, they’ve died though.

My opinion is biased by the fact that I grew up liking Star Wars and that it’s always been one of my favorite franchises, but I disagree. [quote=“LegoDavid, post:233, topic:44421”]
Disney movies

Again a question of the marketing. I like Disney movies a lot. I think they’re very visually stunning, and well-written. They’ve definitely had their setbacks and learning experiences I’m looking at you Hercules

The reason I disliked it is them shoehorning in the aliens for almost no reason. If they made the aliens fit and flow with the rest the movie, I wouldn’t dislike it.

Not exactly unpopular for people who don’t like gore.

On the other hand AoT is kinda a bad show that I can barely get myself to sit through.

Well it is a horror series, so it must be doing it’s job.

I liked transformers prime

That’s not an unpopular opinion.

I think it might be an unpopular opinion to call it the best of all Transformers series (I’d say it’s between Prime and Animated), but it’s certainly not unpopular to say you liked it.

oh phew, well in that case I hate Giorno Giovanii and do not see him as a real Jojo his name doesn’t even start with a “J”

Who? I don’t know a Jojo charater named Giovanii.

I absolutely love him. He’s overall a lot more interesting as a JoJo compared to the previous ones and if you don’t like him, you’ll probably like the later MCs.
GioGio makes the same sound as Jojo so it works out name wise imo.
