Current Events > what are some unpopular/hot movie takes?

(+) Yeah! (+)

*Little Nicky is one Sandler's best films

*Queen of the Damned was lowkey underrated aside from the final showdown being f'n abysmal. I understand that part bringing it down for people.

*Lost World Jurassic Park is one of the best sequels to a classic movie
All of the Jurassic World movies except Rebirth suck, Rebirth is decent but not great. Yeah I know Fallen Kingdom and Dominion weren't well received but I didn't care for Jurassic World being a mindless blockbuster either. At least Rebirth is better with suspense and character development.

*While The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker both sucked, TLJ was far worse and was a massive nothing movie with it's only accomplishment being making Luke and Poe look bad.

*Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel should be one of the central focuses going forward for Marvel. She is adorable and has charisma through the roof.

*Iron Man 3, Quantumania, and Thor: Love and Thunder are the only truly bad MCU films. There were some less memorable ones too like Eternals, Iron Man 2, and Thor Ragnorok but nothing all that bad.

*I wouldn't call Barbian bad but it's the most overrated horror film in recent history off the top of my head

Hes the Jared Leto of actors.

The Last Samurai is one of the greatest movies ever made.

Mario Bros (1993) is a good movie.

Bullet Train was a god awful movie with no redeeming qualities.

The majority of the OP aren't even hot takes

Definitely not a hot take, and I agree with it

this is pretty much exactly how I feel about it
though if it was a short film that ended right before Justin Long's character showed up I'd give it like a 9/10

As a huge, and I mean huge western fan Ill give you two.

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly 1966 is often placed high on all time greatest western lists and while I like it I dont think its Clints best movie nor is it Sergio Leones. I think it is average compared to numerous other Clint Eastwood westerns. And Sergios movie Once Upon a Time in the West 1968 is far superior. It also has an Ennio Morricone soundtrack.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid 1969 is often considered one of the all time greats and around a top 10 film on great western lists but I dont think its very good despite loving Paul Newman and Robert Redford and think Robert Redford had a much better film in Jeremiah Johnson 1972 that never makes any great western lists.

American films and actors are generally overrated, they usually become popular mostly because it's what people have been exposed to growing up and are more familiar with. Especially for Drama, Thriller and Romance films the plots usually just aren't as interesting as those from other countries.
