All superhero movies are dumb af. All of em, especially the one who s wearing blue underwear over his pants
Star wars is lame & trash. Everyone who likes is either nostalgic or delusional
All of James Bonds are trash & stereotypes and not worth the electricity to run
Not a fan of saying people only like something because they're delusional. You can dislike something by your own personal criteria, but other people have their own.
Star Wars and superhero movies are often liked because people enjoy the characters, the world, or simply the action and artistry.
Not understanding that other people care about different things than you do is immature.
I was with you in the first paragraph.
In the second I wanted to differentiate between the original trilogy and whatever came next.
In the third one, my opinion is directly opposite.
Every non Bond spy film does a better Bond film than the Bond franchise.
Man from Uncle, Kingsman, Mission Impossible, Austin Powers
I wholeheartedly agree.
Starwars is RA Salvatore for people embarrassed about liking elves rendered into a film. All of the artistic stuff is just lifted from Kurosawa, watch those films instead they're actually good.
Hard agree on all of those. Especially James Bond, never seen a more boring movie than JB..
That pretty much only leaves Hallmark Christmas movies. I guess that's all you like?
Inception, Interstellar, LOTR, Matrix 1 and 2 are pinacle of movie making
I don't know how you make that list. It's wild. LOTR and Maritx 1 I'm on board solid story, solid movie, solid acting, visuals, sound design, no notes.
I don't know how you take matrix 2 without 3, it's just the first and second part of the same, somewhat unsatisfying conclusion to the matrix, still pretty good and they tried something that blockbuster movies rarely tried: to make you question the nature of reality.
Inception is a self masturbatory movie about the importance of movies. It's not bad, but I don't know how it joins the others.
Interstellar is not a great movie. The visuals are nice, but the plotline completely falls apart imo. It's like they knew where they wanted to go, realised half way through there was no way to get there, then just used enough jargon and pseudoscience to hide the fact they drew a straight line from where they were to the conclusion. They even had to retcon stuff with janky time travel.
I'm not mad because i disagree with your list, I just don't see what puts it together. It's like someone saying his favorite foods are steak, sushi but no fish, apples, and fruitty toothpaste.
I made that list as examples of what i consider "good", that's about it
Inception is absolutely amazing, interstellar a little less so, but still, light years and universes (hehe) ahead of anything I mentioned in the highest comment
