State your unpopular film related opinion - Part 8

Really? I think Blade Runner's score is really memorable. It's just so perfect for the film. Really compliments and enhances it.

The first Terminator one is great too.

I just watched Blade Runner last night, and yeah, that score is tremendously important to that film. It's filled with scenes that have a lot of long, slow moving shots (most of which don't have any dialogue) where the score quite literally brings the scenery to life and really progresses the film along.

I will say though, there are a lot of movies where the score is unimportant. There's even some movies - like Dracula, or Frankenstein - that are enhanced by the lack of a score.

I forgot about Terminator too.

As for Blade Runner, I'm sure I'll remember the score now because I haven't seen the movie in awhile and next time I'll watch I'll make sure to pay close attention to the score.

Indeed. Same for No Country for Old Men.

It's all cool

[Spider-Aziz]

The Punisher (2004) and Punisher War Zone (2008) are good movies

[bullets]

I would of liked a sequel to Punisher:War Zone. It could of went dtv but if they had Ray Stevenson and ultraviolence I would of been satisfied.

[Enriquespy]

Spiderman 3 had one of the best figth scenes in the trilogy, and no, I'm not talking about the subway/sewage fight against sandman, I'm talking about babygoblin vs peter in Harry's mansion.

In my opinion all of James Franco scenes in that movie where great.

[DawnWarrior]

Captain America: First Avenger was my favorite of the four solo origin films.

[CConn]

I can see that.

Iron Man's probably the best film, but the direction, art design and cast on Captain America was spectacular. If it had a script of similar quality, it would've easily been one of the best comic book movies around.

[Liam_H]

I would've have agreed if the 2nd half of the movie wasn't so by the numbers.

[CConn]

Like I said, the script was pretty mediocre.

Not to mention, most superhero third acts are pretty weak. Both Iron Man's and Batman Begin's were pretty poor.

Here's something ten times more unpopular.

I think spider-man 3 was pretty good. Definitely the worst of the series, but still good.

Your avatar is gorgeous.

I'm probably going to wait 3 years, and then steal it.

I do not understand the appeal of Caddyshack.

To be honest, with the obvious exception of The Avengers, none of the scripts were spectacular. They were pretty much all by the numbers. What made all of them good were the acting, art direction, etc.


And damn, Morninstar got banned? Sad. He should have stopped going into the batboards.

[Rowsdower!]

Not sure if I mentioned this one before or not, but I actually liked Quantum of Solace. So many people seem to hate it and I'm not entirely sure why. I think people's expectations were too high. But I thought Craig was awesome, the story and villains were good and the babes were hot. I believe that was the film that introduced me to the lovely Gemma Arterton.

Speaking of unpopular Bond films, License to Kill is one of my favorites. No one seems to like Timothy Dalton for whatever reason, and I wasn't a fan of The Living Daylights, but License to Kill--despite being a little un-Bondlike--is a great action movie.

QoS was a very good movie. The best of the bonds? No, but it wasn't bad. Just....too short.

[Wesley Dodds]

QOS was a reasonable, if unexceptional, Bond movie. I think it suffered badly from having to follow so soon after Casino Royale....

[Eddie Dean]

If QOS had come after any of the Brosnan films except Goldeneye, people would have called it a return to form. I think being the follow up to the super great Casino Royale hurt it a lot.

Also, what Wesley Dodds said.

I'm sorry but how is The Avengers all that different from that?

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, I think that's it. I think Casino Royale blew so many people away that they were expecting the sequel to top it. But I still really like QoS and I'm hoping Skyfall is the best yet.

But yeah, other than Goldeneye, if you stack QoS against any of the Brosnan film, there really is no comparison.

Tomorrow Never Dies wasn't awful but the villain was beyond cheesy and it just wasn't very engaging.

The World is Not Enough had the chance to be a great film until the moment Denise Richards walked on camera and the movie took an immediate nosedive. I can suspend disbelief to some degree but Richards as a NUCLEAR PHYSICIST?! What the hell were they smoking when they thought that one up?

Die Another Day was like colon cancer in movie form.

I don't either. Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray have some good material in it, but I don't even think it's in my top 30 funniest films I've ever seen.

I honestly don't remember liking it much if at all, but I remember like the second one a lot more; However everyone looks at me weird when I say the second one is more entertaining to me.


Regarding Quantum of Solace, I found it to be decent if a bit too slow at times. I thought Olga Kurylenko was great in it though, she reminded me of Natalya from GoldenEye.

Tomorrow Never Dies only suffered from a bad villain; Teri Hatcher didn't do enough in the movie for the hate that I've seen her receive. Wai Lin is one of the best Bond girls. The henchman was cool, and the action was great.

I have The World Is Not Enough ranked pretty high for a Bond film, the only negative has already been mentioned. I could believe Denise Richards as a nuclear scientist visually if her outfits weren't skanked up and if she actually tried to act the role. It was her delivery alone that hindered the movie for me. Elektra is one of my top Bond villains.

With Die Another Day, I think it warrants the hate it gets, but I do think people just write off the good stuff with the bad too hastily. Rosamund Pike as Miranda Frost was a great character, and I liked Zao as a henchman. I kind of liked the plot, but again the delivery was as bad as the CGI. The opening plus the credit sequence was amazing though.


Another random unpopular opinion, as bad as Catwoman was, Sharon Stone's character is under appreciated. Her character pretty much called out the bull of Catwoman herself, she was a great manipulator, and her motivations made sense. As for the super-tough skin, I was fine with that, I think it worked better in the movie than the creation of Catwoman.

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, Olga was really great in QoS. Have you seen Centurion? She was brutal in that too.

Yeah, I think TND might have been better had the villain not been such a cheeseball. He was like an evil Ted Turner with the Joker's personality.

TWINE would have been so, so good if they had just scratched Christmas Jones altogether and added more Robert Carlyle. Sophie Marceau was sexy enough that you really didn't need another Bond girl, plus it would have been cool to actually see Bond NOT get the girl for a change.

As for DAD... yeah, Rosamund was pretty good. I wish she had shown up in a better movie. Zao was okay, though I never quite understood why he couldn't just get those diamonds surgically removed from his face. But man... that scene where Bond was surfing towards the end was the worst scene in a Bond movie ever. Hell, that scene was one of the worst scenes in movie history, period. It was as bad as the skyboarding scene in Batman and Robin.
