What are some your less than popular/contraversial film takes. I'll go again. I think the town is better than heat.

Hot fuzz is not funny, and Edgar Wright seems to be a much better director now. Not that his recent films have been amazing, but better than mid to bad films like hot fuzz, shaun of the dead and scott pilgrim.
Also while the Ali G show was amazing, Indahouse kind of takes everything that was fun about the show away and is pretty fucking bad in return.
The whale was good
Is Ali G Indahouse is bad a controversial take? Dogshit film
My hot takes off the top of my head:
- TLJ is the best SW movie
- Michael Bay is a genius
- Jordan Peele has become a better filmmaker with each successive film
- Benedict Cumberbatch is bad
- Da 5 Bloods is one of the best films of the 2020s
- Noah Baumbach is mid
- Bradley Cooper in ASIB is one of the best male performances of all time
- Alfonso Cuaron is a bit overrated and hasn’t made anything really good since Children of Men
- Darren Aronofsky is very overrated
- So is Ava DuVernay
- So is Christian Bale
- Tom Hanks has never put in a GREAT performance
- Frances Ha is dogshit
- The Raid 2 is pretty bad

I thought it was, because of the reactions I've had to that in our cs discord. @hixx

Children of Men I rank as one of the worst films I have ever seen (excluding stuff like the Room and Troll 2).
Speaking of the worst films of all time, I saw the last Harry Potter movie the other day. I'd never seen it, despite having watched the previous 7. I never much liked the film series so hadn't bothered until now.
It seems that was a good choice given how abysmal this was in every aspect. This is a film that has 96% RT and an 8.1 on IMDB yet doesn't appear to do a single thing right. When I was young I assumed I didn't like them because I was a book nerd, but now it's easy to see how they just do every single thing wrong.
The film looks like crap. The cast is sensational, but all the good actors are given like 2 lines . The main trio just look bored, while Fiennes is playing Voldemort like some comedy character, it's ridiculous whenever hes on screen. The points they change from the books are terrible. This must have inspired marvel with how terribly they mix levity into serious scenes. Most of the film is action, but none of it makes any sense if you think for even a second about how magic works.
Potter easily pushed children of men out of the bottom 3 now. That's the only triumph it can claim

what the fuck
Worse than not liking Hot Fuzz this. Jesus.
Watched Talk to Me last night. Cool film. Wish it was longer tbh.
Still reeling from the above revelation.

By n8 dogg Go To Post- Bradley Cooper in ASIB is one of the best male performances of all timeThis might be the worst take on the list.
What is so bad about Children of Men that you have to proclaim it as one of the worst films you have ever seen, Sohois 💀
By FortuneFaded Go To PostThis might be the worst take on the list.
Genuinely incredible performance. Cooper was the best in American Hustle as well. Good actor.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostDavid O Russell is a garbage filmmaker.
Coldest take ever. Made one good movie (Three Kings). Everything else turd.

By Freewheelin Go To PostWhat is so bad about Children of Men that you have to proclaim it as one of the worst films you have ever seen, Sohois 💀It shouldn't be surprising, for something to be in your worst list you have to actually remember it.
I don't count so bad it's good films, or just plain bad indie films like Pass thru or Things. Im not a professional critic forced to sit through crap like Transformers 6 or Mars Moms. Most films I've seen have been on the TV, and most are just forgotten. I know I watched Thor 2 but I couldn't tell you a single thing about it.
For a film to make a worst list, it has to either be so terrible it transcends the forgetfulness (like Potter or Maleficent) or it has to be something interesting enough, highly regarded enough, that I can clearly remember it's failure to connect. That's Children of Men, Malick's The New World, Beau Travail, or Taxi Driver.
Maybe get off your phone? If you thought the one-take in CoM towards the end wasn't memorable, or the early chase, then IDK what to tell you.
*watches the Godfather*
"What diner scene?"

Perhaps if I I had one, I wouldn't have minded it since I could have looked at something good instead of Cuarons stupid wank.
And yes, I recognize that watching it again more recently might change my mind, but there are so many good films out there that I don't want to rewatch one I hated just in case I got it wrong
By n8 dogg Go To PostEmma got them eyes man.
- Child of Men is a fucking awesome picture. Makes you wonder multiple times how they pulled some of those scenes off. I love when movies can do that.
- Hot Fuzz is hot garbage. There are many, many funny Canadians. That film has none.
- Everything in every John Wick film that involves dialogue, and does not involve McShane or Lawrence Fishburne, is a waste of time and is bad.
- Tarantino is a far better writer than director. If his next picture is really his last, he should finish the ideas he's expressed about other scripts, like more Kill Bill or something involving the Vega brothers, and allow someone else to direct and produce.
- Wyler, Wilder, Huston, Ford, Hawks and even Cassevettes & Woody not being mentioned the other day about top directors was disappointing.

By Hixx Go To PostSuddenly picturing Michael Owen behind sohois keyboard and it's all starting to make sense.
By FortuneFaded Go To Post
please elaborate
By inky Go To PostJesus Christ what happened to this thread
I'm sorry inky
By Hixx Go To Postplease elaborateMichael has been trending on twitter.
- the seventh seal is almost unwatchable save for the chess scenes.
- michael bay is great his transformers movies are fun.
- coppola got lucky with both godfather films and apocalypse now; the rest of his career is really nothing to write home about.
agreed. i think he's gotten better over time with ouatih being his best-directed film, though.
i also agree with this. oscar bait performance. not a bad one, mind. it was on tv the other day. i couldn't finish it.
there's nothing remotely interesting about it. feels like something you've already seen before without adding anything new to the mix.
can't touch the series' quality, but it has some gems. and it was way ahead of its time.
extremely topical imho.

My film hot take is that everyone here has bad opinions except me.
