State your unpopular film related opinion - Part 10 - Page 3

Donnie Darko · 08-14-2012, 01:57 PM

even if I don't seen that soon, I need to watch Memento again soon (it's been YEARS). Recently watched/rewatched all the Nolan Batman films and The Prestige, and my wife kept Inception on a fairly steady loop for a while when she DVR'd it and played it any time there was nothing else on she wanted to watch, so I need to revisit Memento and see Insomnia.

Majik1387 · 08-14-2012, 02:06 PM

I need to revisit Memento, but I remember finding it one of Nolan's strongest movies. And I personally thought Insomnia was great. Still don't care much for The Prestige.

CConn · 08-14-2012, 03:43 PM

The more I watch The Prestige the more I like it.

At first glance it doesn't seem like it, but it really is an emotionally powerful, sad, and moving piece.

Blackman · 08-14-2012, 03:49 PM

The PRestige I thought was good. But it was my least favorite Nolan film.

CConn · 08-14-2012, 03:53 PM

I'd rank them...

1. Inception
2. The Dark Knight Rises
3. The Dark Knight
4. The Prestige
5. Batman Begins
6. Following
7. Memento
8. Insomnia

Sloth7d · 08-14-2012, 04:38 PM

1. The Dark Knight
2. Memento
3. The Dark Knight Rises
4. The Pestrige
5. Batman Begins
6. Inception
7. Insomnia

And I didn't like The Following.

Travesty · 08-14-2012, 04:49 PM

1. The Prestige
2. Batman Begins
3. Inception

Then you would rank it 8th.

Ah, but that would make people think I liked it 8th best when I didn't really like it at all.

CConn · 08-14-2012, 05:03 PM

That's not how lists work.

Sloth7d · 08-14-2012, 05:05 PM

Well... fine.

The Prestige is good but IMO is the most cold and cerebral Nolan film.

Inception is more tragic and poignant, IMO.

Matt Mortem · 08-14-2012, 06:30 PM

I'm probably in the minority (and it's definitely unpopular), but I didn't think Inception was as great as many say it is. Just my opinion, but it's not my favorite Nolan work.

Parker Wayne · 08-14-2012, 06:40 PM

1. The Dark Knight
2. Inception
3. The Dark Knight Rises
4. Batman Begins
5. Memento
6. The Prestige
7. Insomnia
8. Following

CConn · 08-14-2012, 06:40 PM

I think what made The Prestige seem cold was simply the overall explaination of Bale's character.

Jackman's story was very emotional, IMO.

Blitzkrieg Bop · 08-14-2012, 06:42 PM

My favorite Nolan line comes from The Prestige. "See, sacrifice, Robert. That's the price of a good trick."

Majik1387 · 08-14-2012, 06:43 PM

Well if everyone's gonna make a list.

1. The Dark Knight Rises
2. Memento
3. Batman Begins
4. Inception
5. Insomnia
6. The Prestige
7. The Dark Knight

I haven't seen Following.

DyeLorean · 08-14-2012, 07:56 PM

For all the complexities of the world of dreams the movie presents, I think Inception is very well executed, even if you like the movie or not.

CConn · 08-14-2012, 08:11 PM

I think it goes beyond even that; I was infinitely impressed in the totality of Inception's production. From its cinematography, to art design, to costuming...it's one of the most "complete" movies I've ever seen.

DyeLorean · 08-14-2012, 08:13 PM

Oh, yes, that's for sure. The special effects were different from what we're used to see on the screen.

gwynplaine · 08-14-2012, 08:29 PM

1. The Dark Knight
2. Memento
3. Robin Williams in Insomnia

Parker Wayne · 08-14-2012, 08:31 PM

Look who's back.

gwynplaine · 08-14-2012, 08:41 PM

DyeLorean · 08-15-2012, 11:09 AM

It is often referred as a low point for Ridley Scott, but I enjoyed a lot the movie "A Good Year".
It was a nice romantic comedy, and certainly a lot better than the ones we are used to. And the locations were just beaufitul.

Donnie Darko · 08-15-2012, 02:34 PM

I think this will be an unpopular opinion on a superhero movie site...

My favorite Tim Burton is Big Fish, by far (it's also his last great movie, but I doubt that is unpopular).
