This thread was supposed to have been a safe space.You can go go far, you don't have to get personal
You gone done yourself proud boys. I don't feel so guilty now.
I don't think this will be an unpopular opinion. I agree it's the least actiony and probably closest to the feel of a Next Generation episode.
More comments from me:
* Jesse Eisenberg and Jared Leto's respective versions of Lex Luthor and The Joker were great and should be brought back in some capacity
* Thor: The Dark World was one of the last great installments in the MCU pantheon of films

Have you seen Ex Machina? It's a great, non-franchise, big idea sci-fi movie. It is R rated, so if you're bothered by a lot of swearing, violence and some full frontal female nudity you might not want to watch.
I know I've said it before, but before I watched it I never would have thought a movie that is mostly just four people alone in a house talking could be so compelling.
I completely agree on The Joker. Once you get used to his look, and ignore Leto's offscreen behavior, it really is a great take on the character. I can kind of see what they were going for with his look, the original version was clearly inspired by the gangsters of that era, and all they were doing with the Suicide Squad version was updating that, to make him look more like a modern gangster.
I didn’t care for the tattoos & metal teeth but Leto’s performance was fine; it wasn’t his fault they messed around with his scenes and screen time.
Thanos is a shitty villain.
Telepathy, Psionics, ESP is all just trying to modernize the turd of magic and stuff it into the square hole of scifi and should be discarded. It's mostly due to Campbell and stinks of the mid-century and should had died then but it keeps. popping. up.
There's nothing wrong with stuffing in realism to a lot of things, the limitations percieved are often trivial or even non-existent to begin with; it's a lack of imagination on part of creators to think within the box to actually start thinking outside of it.

This!
I don't know if that's really all that unpopular.
Blake's 7 was really good.

Star Trek into Darkness is splendid in every way, and easily the second best of all the "Trek" movies.
I guess I recall the hype going around when it started.
If you told me I could only watch one Bond film for the rest of my life, I'd choose The Living Daylights.
Almost...almost... I liked License to Kill just a little better. To me it was the closest we've had to an Ian Fleming novel put to film. To this day, I hate that Dalton never got the chance to do more than two films.

Tarkovsky's Solaris. Fascinating, hypnotic, brilliant.
'Fraid I've never been able to warm to LTK like TLD. The "revenge" theme restricts Dalton's range; he's able to play more character notes in Daylights. Among other things, his wonderful chemistry with Maryam d'Abo's Kara lets him play Bond as a genuine romantic hero -- more than in any of the other films, even those that are more self-consciously "romantic" (like OHMSS and CR).
Dalton being the best Bond is just common sense.
