Unpopular Opinions

>>84215938

I'm just here to confirm that The Departed truly did suck and it was over rated. You cannot argue this.

He's a little overated but wolf of wall street was good and goodfellas was great. His films are always watchable.
Now if you want to talk about overated then Francis ford Coppola is the guy you want. Every movie is total dogshit. Especially apocalypse now. That movie is so fucking shit, so boring, so pointless. And that's probably his best movie. Let's not forget about fucking Jack.

all his movies seem so artificial and overacted

>>84215938
all his movies are comfy

>>84215938
>Mean Streets
>Raging Bull
>Casino
>Silence
>King Of Comedy
>After Hours
>Last Temptation Of Christ

How the fuck can you say Taxi Driver is one of the only good films he has ever made?

star wars is the most overrated franchise in the history of film

>>84216233
This is very true.

>>84215938
Scorsese was at his prime in the late 70s and early 80s. Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and The King of Comedy are all patrician as fuck, and he made plenty of good films afterwards, too. He's been pretty much pure shit since the 90s though, so if you only saw trash like Gangs of New York or The Departed then it's no wonder you'd be sick of him.

>>84216233
that's not that unpopular desu

also Lucas can't write dialogue

Hayao Miyazaki sucks. That geezer could not tell a good story or write a character with a consistent personality even if you kidnapped his entire family and threatened to Colombian necktie them them if he didn't try his best to tell a coherent story.

>>84216221
This. OP simply hasn't seen any of his movies.

Even shit like Bringing out the Dead or Shutter Island are "good". Neither are amazing, but he's consistently good.

Saying Scor is bad isn't an "unpopular opinion" is just being a retard and not backing down when you're proven wrong.

>>84216330
Are you retarded. Name an inconsistency in the characters in castle in the sky, I literally dare you.

>Unpopular opinions

More like pleb and retarded opinions

capeshit is so fucking bad and i don't know why so many people on /tv/ like it so much

i get that normies like these retarded movies but why fa/tv/irgins?

>>84216228
well not his early ones 70s-80s, but it started with Goodfellas

I actually liked Silence

>>84215938
>but only cause of the shinebox memes
thinking shitty forced memes make a film good. your opinions aren't unpopular, they're just shit sage

>>84216330
Spirited Away started out amazing but after that fucking monster that tempted people with gold to devour them ended up just being a meek little ghost who just wanted a friend, I actually ended up feeling disgusted.

>>84216357
>Shutter Island
>good

pretencious dogshit mate

Games Of Thrones is the best television series in decades

So you can't understand what's happening in a film then? That's cos your dumb.

Casino is boring as fuck. I've seen it 5 or so times and revisit it every few years but still can't recall any memorable scenes.

>>84216559
w-why would you watch a movie you find boring 5 times?

Most of woody Allens's work is mediocre

>>84216605
No anon, all of it is mediocre.

Wow, you cherrypicked the one movie from ghibli that isn't total shit.
Get lost, moron.

Sometimes the reason that opinions are unpopular is because they are wrong.

>>84216674

Quentin Tarantino is shit and his only okayish film is Reservoir Dogs.

>>84216637
Okay, name an inconsistency in characters in spirited away then.

>unpopular opinions
>Scorsese is shit
more like stupid opinions

>>84215938
Departed was ok, TWoW is good for a laugh but not especially rewatchable. Goodfellas is kino. Taxi Driver is kino. Raging Bull is kino. The Last Temptation of Christ is kino. Silence is kino. Shutter Island is kino.

OP is retard

but The Silence truly sucked

Want to know how I know you're an uninformed pleb, OP?

Oh, I understood what was happening. I just hated it.

This is one of the laziest bait threads I've seen in a while

>Yubaba is a total cunt to Chihiro and makes it clear she won't give in to her stupid demands because she's a powerful witch/boss of everything
>Chihiro has no leverage on Yubaba
>Yubaba gives into her demands 30 seconds later because her baby cried

>No Face established as a sociopathic cannibalistic, pedo creep who doesn't give a shit about anyone

Shit writing from a dumb nip who has never interacted with real people in his life. Fuck this movie.

I love Scorsese but I didn't like Raging Bull at all

The idea of good acting in scorsese movies is just swearing

pic related is just an old white male making semi racist movies to make other racist reactionaries feel good about themselves

What's wrong with Departed? I thought it was great? Hard mode: actually answer my question instead of calling me a pleb like a dumb redditor.

>Kamaji
He's actually not a total asshole to her at all, he's a bit terse but that's his character, he has a love/hate relationship with humans because humans let his river dry up and kinda fucked him but he still helps cos he's a good person/ghost who chihiro helps to rediscover himself

>Yubaba
Has no time or interest in chihiro and only concedes to her demands because kamaji lets her know that she's honor bound to give a job to anyone that asks, as long as chihiro is steadfast in asking she is required to give her a job, later chihiro earns her respect through her work.

>No face is a representation of how the loose morals of the bath house warps the minds of its guests. He is a good soul that is corrupted by the gambling and sex and general immorality of place he's in. Like a drug addict he falls prey to the charms of the bath house. He recovers from this when chihiro leads him away.

So what's inconsistent about any of that?

>>84216559
Charlie M? Your head in a vice, for CHARLIE FUCKING M?

>>84217193
>because humans let his river dry up and kinda fucked him
Never explained in the movie. Get out.

>only concedes to her demands because kamaji lets her know
He never spoke with her.
He never shared a scene with her.
He never even looked at the crazy bitch.
Stop excusing this shitty screenwriting, cuck. Yubaba literally gave chihiro the job because her baby cried. Watch the fucking scene again and stop being stupid.

>>No face is a representation of how the loose morals of the bath house warps the minds of its guests. He is a good soul that is corrupted by the gambling and sex and general immorality of place he's in. Like a drug addict he falls prey to the charms of the bath house.

You are waxing philosophical without saying anything of substance.
Stop intellectualizing this nonsense. No Face is just a walking plot device and a terrible character.
So he's a symbol? Fine then.
Talk about his merits as a character, because he's one of the worst characters I've seen.

Die Hard 3 > 1 > 4 > 2
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull is a decent followup
As was Pirates 4
None of Nolan's batman films are good. In fact, his only good film is the Prestige. Memento is just okay

The Star Wars prequels were actually good, episode 3 was kino and I do mean that unironically

>>84217487
I agree with all of this, though

Pre 80s movies all sucks

Superhero movies are the new westerns, except that they don't suck, like westerns

Zack Snyder and Michael Bay are great filmmakers

Prometheus is better than Alien

>>84217428
Never explained in the movie? Have you seen the movie? Same with the job thing, it is clearly explained in the movie. Kamaji tells chihiro that's she's bound to give anyone a job who asks. You're either deliberately being ignorant or you're too stupid to follow what's happening.
Also no face is symbolic, I'm sorry that's too complicated for you to understand. Maybe just watch Michael bay movies from now on. I think you will be able to follow them.

You in the last post:
Yubaba and Kamaji had an in-depth conversation and he told her to give the job to chihiro (a scene that never happened)

KYS, you lying idiot.

>>84218009
I'll admit that I could have made that a little clearer but common sense should tell you that I was referring to chihiro. Kamaji told chihiro. That's what I've been trying to say.
Now that you understand that can you understand how yubabas behaviour was not inconsistent?

>>84215938
I really don't understand why /tv/ praises Man of Steel and Batman v Superman as much as they do, they're painfully mediocre.

James Cameron hasn't made a good film since True Lies.

Person of Interest is my favorite TV show.

12 Angry Men, Forbidden Planet and Paris, Texas are my favorite movies.

/tv/ hasn't been good in years, I hardly lurk threads here unless they interest me.

The Departed is his most poorly made movie. The Wolf of Wall Street was good.
Bringing Out the Dead is really underrated.
Raging Bull is his masterpiece.

>>84218401
The Superman praise is a meme, and your top 3 is great. I love Forbidden Planet.

>>84215938
I hated the Departed and Wolf of Wall Street literally has the same scheme depicted in the "Stocks and Bonds" episode of Leave it to Beaver.

i actually enjoyed his reviews and thought he was an excellent critic, still sad he had to go

The late 70s and early 80s were the worst time for film.

>>84215938
I think he's good but some of his movies are really overrated. Mostly The Departed.

>>84218842
first person I've disagreed with in this thread and I hope you die of eyeball cancer

>>84217723
could not agree more

Jackie Brown, considered as one of Tarantino's best movies, is an absolute borefest. Tarantino's major flaw of not being able to wrap a story up and keep it interesting is reeking through Jackie Brown.

>>84218401
>I really don't understand why /tv/ praises Man of Steel and Batman v Superman as much as they do, they're painfully mediocre.
same reason /mu/ praises hiphop. people are just retarded and will even call you pretentious for not liking the dumpster juice they consider to be "art"

>>84216559

House of the Rising Sun montage and Pesci's death are two of the most memorable scenes in recent cinematic history.
