State your unpopular film related opinion - - - Part 12

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I thought Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was funny when I was a teen, but I recently watched it and came to the conclusion that it is purely awful.

[Donnie Darko]

I love Smith's first five movies (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, and Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back). I thought Jersey Girl was decent for what it was. Clerks 2 and Zach & Miri fall under (really like, but maybe not love). I don't really count Cop Out, since he didn't write it, but it was passable for one viewing. Red State is actually the only one I disliked. It had its moments, but I really thought it just failed to deliver. The one guy, the preacher, gave a great performance, but the rest of the film just didn't do it for me.

[DarkSovereignty]

Im a huge Kevin smith fan. My and silent bob strike back is stupid as hell but I enjoy it. Red state and clerks II are probably my favorite movies by him.

[Brain Damage]

I forgot about Cop Out, actually. I only managed to make it through about 15 minutes of that. But his actual writer/director films are gold.

[Donnie Darko]

I remember Mallrats was the first one I saw back in middle school and loved it. Rented Clerks and Chasing Amy (which might be my favorite of them all) soon after. Dogma was the first I was able to see in theaters. Good times.

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I think his best writing is in Chasing Amy, but the overall better movie is Clerks 2........................Pillow pants.

I enjoy his comic writing more than his film writing.

The look of sheer terror on Randall's face is what truly sells that scene lmao

[Spider-Aziz]

I like the old Swamp-Thing movie

Would there really be much of a difference if it wasn't based on a true story. I don't think Michael Bay is the first person to do something like this either.

I don't remember seeing the film , but I loved the t.v. series. I thought Swamp Thing was popular.

I like all his films. Some of them are dated , but there's still a charm to them. I even liked Jersey Girl. I'd say Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is the worst , but even that has it's moments.

[Donnie Darko]

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was perfect for what it was meant to be: a big love letter to his diehard fans and a big ego stroke for Smith, basically getting to spend millions of dollars on the most ridiculous ideas he could come up with.

[A Necessary Evil]

I dig the twist in Iron Man 3.

[Donnie Darko]

I didn't hate it. I still prefer the Mandarin origin from that annual a couple years back.

The Widening Gyre is probably my favorite work of his.

Is that unpopular? I've been on vacation and off the internet for the last week. I don't know why I'm surprised. Fanboys are a traditionally conservative lot. I loved it. It was ballsy, transgressive, funny, and it was just plain old thrilling to finally be completely blindsided by a movie again.

Same here.

I am (impatiently) awaiting the next volume.

Well, more mixed than unpopular.

The Amazing Spider-Man is my favorite Spider-Man film. Peter and Gwen had great chemistry, which is what won me over. Connors plot was good, just on the cusp of great. I felt having a family, or having lost a family to something, could've made it greater than what it was.

[DarkSovereignty]

I loved the amazing spiderman. I felt the cast and story were better than the Sam raimi films. Not that I said story, NOT writing. I still felt that spiderman 2 had better plot structuring and a better villain. But andr Garfield was far superior to Toby Macguire in the role of spiderman/Peter Parker. And I loved how Gwen actually contributed to the plot beyond being some object to get stolen by the bad guy in the end.

[Snow Queen]

I didn't just dig the twist from Iron Man 3, I LOVED it.

[Brain Damage]

I loved it while watching it, felt mixed about it right afterwards, but the more I've been thinking about it the more I like it.

[Schlosser85]

I get why it pissed some people off, but I thought it worked within the movie, in and of itself.

Wasn't wowed by the movie itself though. For the first twenty minutes or so I was all ready to call it the best Iron Man yet, but too much time wandering around with the damn kid, and some other stuff was just cheesy.

I had a similar experience.
When the movie started with Tony messing up his own narration, and then Blue over the opening logos, I leaned up in my seat, grinned, and thought "Now this is going to be different."

Unfortunately, the majority of the film didn't quite live up to that expectation, but I still enjoyed it a hell of a lot (and didn't find myself wishing it would just end already like with IM2) and certainly didn't find it the ****storm some are making it out to be.

Also, I don't think I've ever seen RDJ give such an amazing performance. There's a line of horrendous exposition in the first act (I think it's when he talks with Pepper in the armory) but his delivery is so good that I didn't even care how blatant it was.
