There is for sure some good to really great stuff in the film... But I came away hating literally every single character in the film from beginning to end. It was like being at a party where everybody is an off putting poser *****ebag.

Agreed

 

[MadVillainy]

I like Edgar Wright's films but I don't think he is a master or even on the same league as some of the truly great ones like many people say he is.
He has some left field ideas for his movies and I'm always looking forward to what he does, but I don't think he is that good.

I like the Cornetto Trilogy a lot but his other 2 films outside of it? Scott Pilgrim and Baby Driver I either don't like or am just meh on

I'm kinda iffy on the threequel and was downright astonished how much of his flair was retained in a vanilla mainstream attempt (Baby Driver).
Pilgrim's & Baby Driver's rewatchability quality > TWE.

 

[Schlosser85]

Baby Driver was one of my favorite movies of the year.

 

[Web-Head]

I like Baby Driver, but I don't think I love it. A lot of it rides on Foxx and I didn't like him.

 

[DyeLorean]

I liked Baby Driver just fine, but it was so overrated. Just like everything Edgar Wright touches on.

 

[2kt09]

The musical aspect is overstated. Hope the sequel is just that from start-finish...though that's going to be quite the hassle in licensing.

 

[The Endless]

Hot Fuzz is the closest you can come to a flawless film, for me. Every single moment is executed exactly as the director intended. It's got great characters, an interesting story with genuinely unexpected twists and turns, inventive action and its bloody hilarious.

Yea, it's the best action comedy ever made.

 

[gwynplaine]

Shaun of the Dead
At World's End
Hot Fuzz
Scott Pilgrim
Baby Driver

I enjoyed all the "Cornetto films" and didn't care very much for SP or BD, even less Baby Driver.

 

[flickchick85]

Well based on the last page it seems like mine is the truly unpopular opinion, which is that BOTH Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 are equally great and neither is slow or pretentious, lol.

 

[OutOfBoose]

Neither are pretentious. Just not without issues.

 

[Ninjablade]

Baby Driver was also my favorite movie of 2017, but on the topic of Edgar Wright films: I didn't like Hot Fuzz at all. I don't even remember if I laughed at any of the jokes, I thought it was very meh.

 

[gwynplaine]

I like BR 2049 as much if not more than the original but, exactly like OutOfBoose said, they both have issues

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

I didn't really care very much for Shazam.

It's a very uneven super hero movie. It's saving grace is that Levi and Grazer's scenes are so fun. And that Levi is fun as the transformed Billy. But... it's all over the map, the relationships outside of Freddy and Shazam make no impression and the director goes for wildly differing tones that don't gel into a cohesive feel and instead jut up against one another in a noticeable way. On top of that... The film looks kinda chintzy. Not terrible VFX but the entire proceedings feel very low balled. Even something like the first Thor which also low balled the powers of it's protagonist to a certain degree had a bigger sense of scope and great production values all around. The Wizard just plain looked cheap as did the Rock Of Eternity set.

I get being charmed by Levi in the role but most everything else comes off underdeveloped and kinda subpar. I'm sorry but cute kids don't paper over these flaws for me.

 

[DyeLorean]

I admire Blade Runner on every single technical level and atmosphere, but I just can't get into the story. I always try every few years because I keep coming back to it, but it never clicks.

 

[Schlosser85]

I’ve never been able to get into Blade Runner.

 

[the last son]

Based off trailer I'm really enjoying new scars voice

One thing I found weird about Taxi Driver is how that girl accepted a date with her stalker; Travis Bickle, but the thing that made her hate him is taking her to see a movie in a porn theater.

And then Travis bought guns in maybe wanting to kill her, but he then wanted to kill the politician that she was supporting, before he decided to use the guns to save Jodie Foster's character from her child molesting pimp.

What did I get wrong? I don't know. I know that is what looked like to me, and I'm not fond of this movie.

It's not about a sane person Aziz. That's all you need to know.

I'd still like to know why that girl agreed to go out with him.

You still haven't figured out how penguins launch rockets and you want to know something like this? One thing at a time.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

You still haven't figured out how penguins launch rockets and you want to know something like this? One thing at a time.

Taxi Driver is a classic I have some questions about, Batman Returns is blithering nonsense.
What I did not figure out is how Penguin attached all those missiles to his babies not expecting them to burn when he has 500 plans for every contingency, and how he still managed to order a truckload of missiles with the exact same measures and design.

And now that you brought this absurd comparison into my attention, I'll tackle that Ninja Turtles comparison you had with Blitherman Returns:
The origins of that team is nonsense of the highest caliber, but they've been in some great stories that can make some of their nonsense more plausible within those realms.

Batman is a character one expects to take much more seriously when compared to the team of giant mutant reptiles that were trained in martial arts by an anthropomorphic rat with a stick who is somehow able to find material and forge strong durable weapons that require melting metal and hammering it a lot. And if they want to get nuts with telling a story focusing on him I welcome it, just make the narrative plausible and coherent instead of throwing one wacky idea after another with little rhyme and barely any reason.

 

[Schlosser85]

How did he not expect his penguins to die? He even tells them when he sends them off that many of them won't be coming back. He knew he was sending them to be basically suicide bombers.

Not that I'm defending Batman Returns, it's blithering nonsense that has nothing to do with the Batman comics.

 

[OutOfBoose]

**** hit the fan

Aziz continues to demonstrate he payed no attention. And frankly speaking, Batman is just as much fantasy and blithering nonsense as TMNT. The whole "serious" argument is blithering nonsense too, since we have 60s Batman and many absurd Batman stories within comics.

 

[LoganPool]

The Harry Potter franchise is the single most dullest, boring, snooze-fest in cinematic history.
