What is your unpopular flim opinion - eviltoast

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

    I actively like Star Trek Generations (48 on RT). I think it’s accessible if you’re not a Trek fan, and delightful if you are. A bit campy at times, sure. But it’s a human plot dealing with age, death, and change.

      I like Generations way more than say, First Contact.

      Generations, for all its flaws, was a science fiction story passing the torch from TOS to TNG, and saying something about the characters and world of Star Trek.

      First Contact was a generic action-adventure movie wearing a Star Trek uniform.

      Honestly, I consider Generations to be the only interesting TNG movie.

      That’s my favorite TNG movie.

      Roddy McDowell carried the movie. You sympathize with him just a bit and want the heroes to stop his character at the same time.

        I agree. I like that he’s got no “super power” (or no super power technology). He’s got to rent some ratty Klingons, doesn’t even have his own ride.
