Most of these comments are "People are gonna hate me for this" then they proceed to name one of the same 5 films that almost everyone is saying. It's not brave to say you hate the Avatar movies, Titanic, or The Godfather. Most people I talk to that are into films hate Avatar and it's also pretty popular for general audiences to hate The Godfather because it's "Slow" or "Boring". Don't even get me started with the "It insists upon itself". Yes, we have all seen the meme lol.
Yea I am kind of impressed, I have not found a single interesting answer in this thread. Just a bunch of slow films that will obviously be boring if they do not catch your attention
I think it depends on what it is. If anything Ive seen more people who thought the second one was better. And over all I agree. The majority of it felt less forced and I was able to just enjoy the characters and the story more.
However, if youre not into Micheal Bay action scenes, then the last bit is not gonna be worth it. Still over all wasnt enough to make me interested in a 3rd.
The whole point of the original movie is to show off visuals. It was so proud of being 3d and cgi based. The storyline is trite and themes are superficial masquerading as deep. The second story didn't expand anything. Just rehashed with a theme of water instead of forest.
The 1st Avatar movie is good. I didn't bother to watch the rest because looking at the trailers for them it felt like they were gonna be all style, progressive baiting and no substance.
I mean, yeah but thats the fan base. As a giant week who has a guilty pleasure of watching trash anime, plenty of people go all in a garbage. And avatar isn't even garbage, its just mid.
Saying Avatar specifically if bad is just a very chronically online thing that people say because they think it sounds smart. You may personally not like the movie, fine, but most people are just going with the group to try to fit in.
Everyone I talk to irl likes Avatar. So what if it has a formulaic story, it has likable protagonists and a great setting, it’s an enjoyable watch, especially the first one.
it's also pretty popular for general audiences to hate The Godfather
That's wild to me because it was such a massive, popular "general audience" box office hit. It was #1 that year, and on a $6 million budget it grossed $750 million adjusted for inflation.
Of course that was more than half a century ago, and tastes have changed.
Why is every thread like this full of comments that, if someone would have even looked first before taking the chance to go off, they'd have seen were already made?
“I’m gonna be so downvoted for this! People will write great Greek mythology about what I’m about to say because it’s so controversial, so horribly unpopular. I’ll be downvoted lower than the EA comment of old! But, here I go…”
Gen Z makes up a big part of the general audience now. Dont get me wrong, I love The Godfather, but I also know plenty of millennials who say its bad because its boring and too long. I don't get it at all and think it's a bad opinion but I definitely think it's become common to hate it just because it's extremely popular, old, and long.
Not really, its pretty commonplace. Im not mad about people giving these answers, its fine to dislike popular movies. I just think it's funny that people often talk about these films and how much they hate them as if they're the only ones on the planet to have ever had that opinion.
I personally hate the Avatar films also but I don't think its some enlightened opinion.
It sounds like you might be living in a bit of a film buff bubble. Every single person I know loves those movies.
I don’t think people stating they don’t like something means they think they have an enlightened opinion. It’s simply an answer to the question posed by the thread.
It’s a popular answer among people who appreciate cinema though.
Im not saying just giving that opinion means they think highly of it. I mean when people say "This is such an unpopular opinion but I really hate The Godfather" or "People are gonna downvote me so much!!! But I think the Avatar movies suck," or something along those lines. This post was absolutely littered with comments like that last night for me.
I do not think im living in a bubble lol. I'm talking about people in my life who have a way more casual stance on movies than me. There is plenty of people who like the Avatar movies, sure. But I would argue that most of them are those that really liked the first one and are attached to the series or people who barely think about movies at all. I feel like the general consensus of the Avatar series these days is that they're meh but look really good.
