What is your unpopular flim opinion
I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

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.
Star wars was always more of a fantasy film than scifi, maybe that's why?
I mean, I like both, so that's not it…
Maybe because Star Wars, at least the original 3 movies, aren’t really sci-fi. It’s a fairy tale with some SF veneer. There’s an evil emperor, a princess, knights, magic and a hero who saves the princess and eventually overthrows the evil emperor.
I think I like fantasy even more than sci-fi. Lord of the rings was awesome, both books and movies. I really liked The witcher books. I wouldn't really say I have a strong preference to genre as long as the story is good. And execution of the story is even more important.
I used to love it as a child but as an adult now the only one I can tolerate is The Empire Strikes back.
Because it's the only really good Star Wars film. All the rest have either cringe-inducing acting, nonsensical plotting, or are inundated with inane family friendly elements like Ewoks, Anikin and Jarjar.
Same here, I was all about it as a kid. Now I couldn't be less interested. All the new movies and shows feel like Marvel movies to me.
The Star Wars movies are kids movies. If you can't view them through that lens of being 9 years old again you're not really going to enjoy them.
I still watch all of them in the theater when they come out but I channel my grade school self when I watch them.
I absolutely love Star Wars, but I can admit they are pretty dumb and have terrible writing.
