Hey guys! So just sharing some relevant links: Become a Patron and get perks like gag reels, your name in the credits and that QnA video I mention: www.patreon.com/TheUnusualSuspect I also mention Il Neige's review of Dragon Ball Evolution. Check that out here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eMChdsZpl9inZJc.html And here's that 2018 video I did on movie theatres: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a-Cam9yZnKi7hY0.html

It’s a shame what happened to Jar Jar’s actor. And it’s even more of a shame when you consider that kind of fan behavior happened again with Rose in the sequels. Say what you want about Rose or Jar Jar but....that was uncalled for.

The worst part of the movie theaters closing is the huge amount of jobs lost.

11:52 To quote James Marsters "If you look at what was acceptable back then to what is acceptable now, you find a lot of stuff from way back when is rather savage."

Hate it when people refuse to separate an actor from the character they’ve played. The man who played Jar Jar did not deserve those hateful words.

I've heard over the years that a big reason why stunts aren't an Oscar category is to discourage stunt performers from doing dangerous or risky stunts just to get awards since it could injure or kill them

My personal favorite Jar Jar moment was when Obi Wan warned him of the ramifications if he didn’t lead them to his people and the first thing he responds is “…Ah.” that to me was gold XD

Unusual Suspect: 6:44 2020 Historians: Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

I did love seeing Ahmed Best receive a standing ovation at Celebration in 2019. Even Ray Park got involved. That's just great ✌️

The best Remakes/Sequels/Reboots are the ones that stem from a director/producer etc who has a new, creative idea for a series, maybe they have an idea for how an old series can be updated into the modern day, maybe they have a good idea for how to continue the story of a previous movie, those are usually the best ones... the worst ones are when Hollywood are just looking at a bunch of old movies and decide to greenlight a remake/sequel/reboot for the sole purpose of making money without any artistic integrity.

English homework to do for college. Oh wait, The Unusual Suspect has just uploaded a new video. That English homework will have to wait. 😃

Bruh I swiped this notification away, then thought, “did that just say suspect”, and am very glad that it was, and be been missing ur stuff suspect, can’t wait for the next vid, and this one seems cool to watch as well Edit: I was right this new vid was great. Honestly agreed with a few of ur points on the list

The amount of humor and passion this man puts into videos is insane

I actually put Jar Jar in the spot of how much I relate with him on a psychological level and always have. It's nice to see someone stick up for him and it's even better to know I'm not the only one that will.

Suspect I get what you’re saying with number 5 especially since the Annie awards don’t separate voice acting performances from men or women. Everyone competes for best vocal performance. While it’s not the same as physical acting, voice acting is still acting.

6:27 I really don't feel like using Anthony Mackie is a good example. The dude is a Hollywood star who could easily afford the most expensive/largest TV and sound system on the market, a luxury most people don't have. Hell, plenty of celebrities own their own personal theaters. Plus going to the movies is an experience. Watching a movie on my own TV while cheaper is boring.

I am so damn happy to see The Mummy 1999 getting some love!

Don't forget How To Train Your Dragon. It's one of Dreamworks' best franchises and has nothing in common with the books they're based on, outside of some names and the ultimate resolution.

You and I have similar opinions, A couple of your points in particular I related to a lot. You see my favourite movie of all time is Point Break, "no not the crappy remake" but that's the thing, when the Point Break remake came to cinemas I had to go see it, but I was nervous because I knew I was going to compare it to the original without even trying... which I did. Over the years since that movie I've always told people the same thing... I honestly didn't have much of an issue with the Point Break remake, but that's if I didn't compare it to the original, if that remake had no connection to my favourite movie, and was it's own original thing, and just shared the same name, I would have enjoyed it way more, I thought it was a decent action movie. The point I'm trying to make is regarding what you said about Adapting a remake, I had the thought when you mentioned Dragonball Evolution, I don't hate the movie... as long as keep in mind that it has no connection to the series I love, but is it's own new thing. That's how I feel about the Point Break remake, the original is still my all time favourite movie, and the newer version is pretty bad as a remake, but as it's own original Point Break adaptation, it's not bad. Haha I hope that made sense, cheers to anyone who actually read all this :)

When I clicked on the vid, I thought it was going to 10 movies you have an unpopular opinion on, not the movie industry itself, but a great video that introduced a lot of interesting discussions. Good job as always, Suspect.

I like to pretend I have a sophisticated sense of humor, but when it comes to Burp and Fart jokes, I still laugh so hard I can barely catch my breath

To be honest i actually agree with most of the things here on this list maybe not the one about jar jar binks but hey to each their own. But i completely agree that the way fans treated the actor who played jar jar was pretty messed up and heartbreaking.

RETURN OF THE KING!!!

I HATED when people laughed during Endgame when Thor chopped off Thanos' head and said, "I went for the head." That was very clearly meant to be a somber moment personifying Thor's perceived failure on a universal scale, not a freaking joke! Come on people.

HOW YOU DOING YA OLD PIRATE, SO GOOD TO SEE YA

I think that film soundtracks should be a category at award shows. They’re just as important as the score

24:12 Suspect, you'll find that the late George C. Scott agreed with you for the most part (especially about the Oscars).

"A filmmaker can do whatever they want with an adaptation." Yeah... I don't know about that... Filmmakers can do whatever they want... with their OWN MOVIE. But adaptations are a bit different. I believe adaptations have certain obligations to uphold. They're not here to "fix" the originals, they're here to show them to us in another medium. Sometimes you gotta make changes, that's true. But it's gotta be changes that MAKE SENSE. And only when they're necessary, not when the filmmaker "feels like it." Unless the change helps the story exist better in the new medium, it's worthless.

I'm with you on Jar Jar. At my very first convention (a Star Wars convention aaaaaall the way back in 2007) I got stopped by some interviewer and her cameraman and asked me some questions. You should have seen their faces when I revealed I liked Jar Jar. They backtracked on all other questions and just asked me Jar Jar questions, and I could see this glint in their eyes that and I could tell they would rip the piss out of me in the editing room. Screw em, liking Jar Jar is fine. Thanks for saying so, and outlining it so well.

For what it's worth, here would be my responses to the points: 10) Same. I prefer watching movies on my own. 9) Absolutely not. First of all, Mackie said that comment because Disney told him to big-up the Disney network, given that Disney have just screwed over cinemas like Warner have done and are getting heat for it. Anybody who can't see that Mackie's comments are just PR and marketing for Disney's network is simply naive. These people follow the script they are told to by the people who pay them. What they've done to cinemas is NOT ok. I go to the cinema once every few years, usually it would be for something like a Christopher Nolan movie, and those movies make the cinema worth it alone. I don't care about comic book movies or Star Wars anyway so seeing them at the cinema versus at home means nothing since I won't watch them anyway. 8) To each their own. I was barely able to keep up with Breaking Bad being on tv once or twice a week. I prefer films. These network subscription services are not doing too well either. Also, that LED screen thing is ultimately going to have the same drawbacks as greenscreening anyway. 7) I think I could count on my fingers the number of minutes of cumulative Bond I've watched in my entire life. 6) Sequels and remakes are ok, the problem is that Hollywood has nothing else. They would be ok if they were just a part of the blockbuster content that gets released, rather than the crutch Hollywood leans upon. 5) Oscars are irrelevant nonsense. This year's will probably have the lowest ratings ever, and not because of what's happened in the last year. They've been on a steady decline for years. Nobody wants to watch rich elitists publicly patting each other on the back anyway. They should just merge every single category into the "here's the people we want to praise most because we do what we want anyway and tough shit to everybody else" category. 4) See point 5. 3) Adaptations should be faithful, but being faithful does not mean a scene-for-scene carbon copy. Being faithful means recreating the original point of the source material using different tools. 2) There's a reason toilet humor has been around so long. Mozart was a fan of fart jokes yet nobody doubts his artistic integrity. 1) Boss Nass' jowl shake is better.

Another unpopular opinion, Hayden Christensen was perfect for Anakin. He didn’t deserve the hate that Ahmed Best got.

Since when did people hate your fart jokes. Every time I hear one in your reviews I laugh my ass off. Tim Curry and Boss Nass's fart jokes get me every time XD Also THANK YOU, finally someone other than me who doesn't understand the Jar Jar hate. I personally think he's alright as a character and it upsets me seeing haters tearing people like us apart just because of our opinions

Suspect is the only KZfaqr who I sit through the ads from start-to-finish for.

My unpopular opinion: I loved The Last Jedi. It was the first Star Wars movie in years to make people second-guess their conceptions of things like the Jedi, the Force, and the whole idea of good guys and bad guys. And the more toxic fans screech about how it ruined everything, the more i like it. Plus, it gave us some of the most badass moments in the saga.

Hey, Suspect. Don't feel too bad about liking Jar Jar. I actually loved him in EP 1 as a kid, and I still think some of his lines are pretty funny.

MY UNPOPULAR OPINION: Spider-Man 3 is a masterpiece of a film and it’s only true fault is it’s tonal inconsistency at times. It remains to be one of the greatest superhero films out there.

Great job. You articulated yourself very well. That’s probably the most inelegant view on the oscars I have heard. 😊

28:32 - 28:48 “No on thinks like that” Except the Nostalgia Critic, who btw I really despise for the obvious reasons.

The Phantom Menace is my favorite Star Wars movie in the franchise. That is all.

I fully agree. Sequels and remakes should be given a bit more love. Just because it's not original doesn't mean it's bad.

THE KING HAS RETURNED

I swear we have the same minds.. I’ve been backing Jar Jar since day 1!! I love him!! I agree with literally everything in this video..Bar Number 3: Adaptation. You’re not inherently wrong, changing source material doesn’t make the film bad, or good, but I think it’s totally okay for diehard fans to be disappointed with not staying faithful, as they’re expecting their favourite story’s, effects, moves, characters to be the same on the big screen. It doesn’t make the film bad, but it’s totally fine for fans to not be happy with it, or at least let down. So I completely understand the snobbery. Love you, Suspect! BOO, GET YOUR T*TS OUT!! 😅

I'm always gonna support you Suspect. You're one of my favorite niche channels and you deserve more attention.

My opinions on your 10 opinions 😁 10. I’d 100% agree with everything you said in this one. 9. Despite I did agree on your original video about this topic? Since Covid I been missing cinemas more. I still prefer streaming at home, but I still wanna go to cinema every while and then again. 8. I can see where you’re coming from, sure a lot of times TV shows > movies. But also, keeping track of so many tv shows is very time consuming. At least with movie, 2 hours and finished. 7. I don’t think it’s exclusively a James Bond issue, plenty of movies / tv shows haven’t really aged well. Not saying you are wrong, but James Bond hasn’t been banned from viewing etc. 6. This one I respectfully disagree with you. Nearly all remakes I seen I didn’t like. I feel Sequels are only good, if it continues a storyline plot. The only 2 times I feel a remake is okay? If people didn’t know it was a remake, and if it targets a brand new audience rather than try to please the original fan base. 5. Okay I won’t lie, seeing that giant list for different genders, ethnicities etc I see your point. But I assume it was done only cause, the awards always kept going to the same Caucasian male group. So, I disagree and would say it should be kept. 4. .....yup. I never watch them 😂😂😂😂 I don’t get the overhype for people to watch these 😂 3. I’d say similar to the remake opinion I said earlier. For most part I disagree, but the only time it can sometimes work, if it aims for a completely different audience. I love you mentioned avatar last airbender for this one :) 2. .... To each their own mate 😅 but I won’t lie, the fart where the Forrest went flat did get a laugh from me lol. 1. YES.....YES YES YES AND YES 😂 someone who understands me about jar jar :) some have said they love him as a solo character, but not as a Star Wars character. Maybe that’s it

Welcome back, Suspect.

Award shows are shit I mean just look at the recent game awards where the last of 2 won game of the year even though it was the most returned and least sold game of 2020

This is where the fun begins.

I agree with #4 especially when the Sonic movie only won two awards so far, that movie is amazing!!

You wanna know what pisses me off? I expressed the exact hatred for Ahmed Best’s treatment by the community and this one guy wrote it off, blaming it on RyanJohnson and Kathleen Kennedy. I will allow all of you to think about why that is the dumbest thing of all damned time.

An unpopular opinion i've always had is that i have always quite openly love the Hobbit films, Granted the 3rd is is rather over the top, ridiculous, indulgent and the comedy is rather bad, but i can forgive that to an Extent.

Ahmed Best is the original Kelly Marie Tran. I'm a much bigger Rose fan than I am Jar Jar, but both cases of backlash make me ashamed to be a Star Wars fan. UNPOPULAR OPINION: I bloody love Cars 2

I watched this with an open-mind and this was great, Suspect and I happen to agree some of your points even though I still think that Movies and TV Shows are equal and I love going to the cinemas for reasons of my own. But otherwise, great video. Also, are you going to review The Incredible Hulk any time soon? If not, I'll still be patient.

I never looked at Dragon Ball Evolution as an attempt to be a faithful adaptation. I saw it as an action movie inspired by Dragon Ball, and for that I don’t hate the film and never have. Thanks for agreeing!

I was just about to clean my room and then I see a notification from suspect, more procrastination!....btw I also made his banner!

Your videos always know how bring joy to my day Suspect, with your relatability and sense of humor it always gets me excited for more of your amazing content however long the stretch of time between them may be. My Unpopular movie opinion is that I Love Attack of the clones.... I’ll admit I was initially upset at your review of it back in the day, but overtime I’ve grown to be accepting of others views even if I don’t agree with them, plus it was just a fun review to watch cause of your unique style that always gets a laugh out of me. Even though I love it I won’t deny that their aren’t difficult scenes to sit through.... specifically the scene with Padme in the black dress with Anakin confessing the torment he’s enduring by being in her presence... very difficult. Aside from that though my soft spot for it mostly comes from the way the action is directed, not to mention the plot line involving Obi-Wans investigation was interesting with the cloners, especially when he came across Jango Fett, who is far more Badass then Boba in my opinion. Then there is Yoda using a lightsaber... I never had a problem with it, after all Count Dooku challenged him after the battle with the force was finished, not to mention this was at a time before Yoda realized a jedis strength came from the force used through defense rather than a weapon used only for attack. The performances are hit and miss, you get good scenes, but also at the cost of difficult segments. The scene between Anakin and his mother breaks my heart, and it proves under the right circumstances Hayden was an incredible actor for the role. Christopher Lee’s performance as Dooku was my favorite second only too the master schemer Palpatine. Overall I am aware of the movies inherent flaws, but I also cannot deny that their aren’t amazing qualities to come from it whether it be the Soundtrack, sound Design, the action, even the acting at specific points. Not perfect, but not as terrible as fans claim it to be in my opinion.

I fear Kelly Marie Tran or Daisy Ridley will go through or has gone through the same amount of pain that Ahmed went through.

I agreed with everything you said Right up until Jar Jar Binks... All seriousness though, great video! Can't wait for what's next.

10. Fair enough. There's only a few movies I'll watch with friends 9. While I love the convenience, I do miss the nostalgia. But yeah, your video on theaters brought up good points. 8. Yeah. I'm kinda the same way. 7. Yeah, Judi Dench really put it best of Bond being a relic. 6. I agree there, for the most part. 3. I'm 50-50 on it. I like doing comparisons for fun myself, but try to balance the two out. KrimsonRogue does a great job at it. 2. Eh, fair enough. 1. Yeah, Jar Jar is the most overhated character and it sucks the Achmed Best had to deal with the toxicity of the Star War's fandom. Good video. Overall, the opinions seemed pretty tame.

My Unpopular Movie Opinions: 1. I think that Video Games and TV Shows are better than movies. 2. Before the allegations I thought that Bryan Singer was one of the most overrated directors. 3. I think that A majority of MCU humour is utter cringe. 4. Adaptations don't have to be 100% faithful to be good. 5. I don't miss movie cinemas. 6. I prefer physical media over digital media. 7. Dreamworks movies are mostly better than Pixar films. 8. I'm happy that hated films, like Godzilla 1998, Terminator Salvation and Batman Forever, are getting better receptions.

The monty python movies are great to watch with friends

"I like Jar Jar Binks." MY MAN!!!! YOU'VE EARNED MY RESPECT!

The return of the king

Two things I wanna point out. While Wandavisions overall budget is higher than films like the first Avengers film, one has to realise that Wandavision has the benefit of being episodic, each episode being released weekly can generate enough clout for each their own to make their money back, with each consecutive episode ending on a Cliffhanger that benefits the episode that comes after. Films with as big of a budget as Avengers wouldn't be able to do as good initially via streaming as a posed to in Cinema because it's all done in one fell swoop and any cliffhanger it has wouldn't be resolved for a year or two, when the sequel comes out. It's also because of it that films via streaming are a bigger victim of pirating and torrenting than an episode of a TV show, a lot of streaming movie are of a low budget for that reason and any big budget streaming films are usually those that are bought from other studios. And while a film being a loose adaptation doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, there's such a thing as straying too far. At least with Dragonball Evolution, it is close enough to Dragon Ball that you can recognise that it's an interpretation of the very first arc of the series, albeit with Emporer Pilaf scrapped and King Piccolo being put in his place. As such is a lot more than what can be said for Godzilla 1998, a film that disregards the source material so bad, that it is mocked by people TO THIS DAY even after the MonsterVerse films, and the monster being given a trademark of its own solely to kill it off on screen in Godzilla: Final Wars, in addition to Godzilla 2014 being made with a partial purpose of not being THAT movie. As for my Unpopular opinion...... Batman V Superman > Civil War

"Filmmakers don't owe the fans anything." If companies constantly buy up all of our favourite properties only to make them unrecogniseable then they're just shooting themselves in the foot. I dont really care if you take creative liberties with something but change for no reason is a slippery slope no one wants to see the bottom of. Also it can reveal more about filmmakers true intent then the fans tolerance. If they did owe one thing to the fans then it would be just to give a shit.

Here’s a couple that I have: I enjoy The hobbit movies I enjoy the Star Wars sequels Diversity for diversity sake isn’t a good thing in film and tv shows. Ben Affleck is my favorite Batman.

Seeing My Hero Academia and Fullmetal Alchemist clips on one of my favorite movie review channels is way more cathartic than it should be lol

Honestly I think this was a fair list. I don't agree with every point but you explained why you made them well. And man, poor Ahmed Best. Some people in the Star Wars community really are just the worst. It's alright to not like a movie, but some people just have to make it so damn personal. I remember looking into what happened to Jar Jar in canon, and it turns out there's a book that talks about it for a bit - Aftermath: Empire's End. I think it's relevant to the topic of people hating him, but I won't spoil it. I recommend looking into it. High-quality video as always.

I agree...Jar Jar's freakout right after they lose power will always be hilarious to me!

I didn’t know Ahmed Best was suicidal over backlash. Perhaps we treated him too harshly.

Why does this guy bring me so much comfort when he uploads

Here's an opinion from me: I prefer Classic Doctor Who (1963-1989, 1996) over Modern Doctor Who (2005-Present) Reasons why: - The serialized format (similar to what Suspect talks about when comparing TV shows to movies) - No soap opera BS (Seriously, I am sick and tired of the various Doctors crying every single time they lose a companion) - The acting (Sure, it can be over the top at times, but there can be good emotional moments too) - The music (Love the electronic music over the bombastic orchestral score (except for the TV Movie)) Overall, I don't hate the modern series, but Classic Who just appeals to me more.

I actually pretty much agree with you on every point. Except for two. Fart jokes make me want to throw up (not even an exaggeration for humor). And the idea that movie theaters aren’t necessary to produce money for more projects. The examples you used are spin-offs of the two most profitable film franchises in film history! And they’re both owned by a company whose wallet would barely be dented by $100M. They should be on another level than other tv shows! Also I kinda feel like LOTR is overhyped.

Oh my god I like Jar Jar as well! I think it is just that which you say, that many are in denial. Now I'm not saying everyone secretly loves him or anything or even should, but those who say he is the worst thing in cinema history are part of the problem. I just think he's an entertaining character at best and slightly annoying at worst. Plus his actor seems like an all-around great guy! :)

Somehow I agree with all of these, even the ones I hadn’t thought about until this video

Hey Suspect! Long time no see! Good to see you've uploaded another video on KZfaq! And hey - some of us have PLENTY of unpopular movie opinions. I definitely agree with you on watching the movie solo if I wanna be able to pay attention and get sucked into the characters, stories, visuals, etc. Hell, the last movie I went to see in a movie theater during these pandemic times and got a quieter experience from it was Christopher Nolan's "TENET," and I got plenty sucked into it. HELL, in more recent days, I've got some pretty unpopular opinions regarding ZACK SNYDER lol I went on a Zack Snyder binge (300, Watchmen, Man of Steel, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and EVEN the fabled Zack Snyder's Justice League (the Snyder Cut)), and I ACTUALLY enjoyed all of them, especially the DCEU movies. One of the unpopular things I had to say was you have to view MOS, BVS and JL as part of a SAGA, not an interconnected universe. Any thoughts on the movie TENET or Zack Snyder's Justice League? Also how are you holding up during these crazy times? We seem to approaching the light at the end of this dark tunnel we've been in for the past year.

If the Kenobi series ever comes out, it has to be the first episodic review on the channel. Edit: still waiting. 😆

I completely agree about Jar Jar. He's so funny, he's such a meme. I think people hate the fact that they love him because he's so hated but I've never cared. It's weird, it reminds me of when nerds were hated on even though it turned out almost everyone was in some way a nerd. Anyway, great video man!

18:57 Additionally Brothers (2009) starring Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Natalie Portman!

Great list, man! I think the only times I disagreed is that I’m really not happy with movie theaters closing. I know it’s only temporary, but man I crave for moviegoing experiences, so many memories are made, both good and bad. While it is very convenient to have a movie you’ve been dying to see right in the comfort of your own home, the experience of seeing it for the first time just doesn’t stick with me as much, and it kinda sucks to be honest. Whenever there’s a time a movie I love or want to see is showing at the theater, I will pay full price, and most of the time it’s well worth it. As for my unpopular movie opinion, I get more emotional watching animations than live-action. With animation, you’re able to unleash your imagination with literally no limits, you’re able to convey stronger emotion through the drawings, every single frame has at least some sort of emotional intent the animator wants to communicate, the body language, the facial expressions, and the color palettes. Not to say I can’t get emotional in live-action movies/shows, it’s just that it’s often hard for me to figure out what the director is trying to say, and I often need to view it multiple times to finally understand and get those emotional punches. More often, I’m able to get those emotional punches immediately with animated movies. I can look at every single frame of The Lion King or Avatar: The Last Airbender and just be mesmerized by the atmosphere and how much passion the artists and animators put into them, they all look like something out of a beautiful painting you could hang in a museum. Maybe that’s just the artist in me, I appreciate how much hard work is put into animations, and by god they do NOT get enough credit for it. The best animated movies belong in the same tier as the best live-action movies, I’m looking directly at you, Oscar people.

the trouble with not judging an adaption against it's source material is that the adaption can have a big impact on the way people perceive the original. When filmmakers choose to adapt a book for example, they effectively take control of peoples perspectives of that book away from the author. Take the Lord of the Rings for example; When i read the hobbit it was before the movie came out and i remember how much enjoyment i got out of picturing these amazing people and locations as Tolkien described them. When i read the Lord of the Rings however, I felt unable to pull my mind away from the Peter Jackson-esque vision of Middle earth. While i do love the movies, they irreversibly effected the way i pictured the story. Adaptions take away a creator's vision of the work and give it to someone else, who can choose to protray the story in the way they wish to. Anyway, great video Suspect, producing great content as always!

"The guy got his throat slit while having sex." That's nice, I heard you say that while I was gulping down a big glass of Hawaiian Punch . . . **Thoughts of the red drink spraying out of my throat suddenly fills my mind** XD Edit: Agree with TV shows :D When editing a Sonic Forces video, I took breaks watching episodes of Lilo & Stitch, and it's nice that each one is a mini story that builds up over time, all pays off when one finally gets to Leroy & Stitch :)

I'm not really someone who is known for really spicy movie takes, but I think one opinion I have is that I absolutely detest the tribalism and gatekeeping around movies and what does and does not constitute as "cinema". Like, yeah, obviously, Marvel movies and Martin Scorsese movies should be treated differently, but I'm really sick of all the "intellectuals" who's sole personality trait is hating anything that's not "high art". I'm not coming for Scorsese at all, he was obviously misinterpreted and his concerns about big-budget movies having a monopoly over cinema is true. I just hate movie elitism

"What happened to originality?" Ahem. The Maltese Falcon was the third iteration of Dashiell Hammett's story to reach the screen.

Jar Jar Binks fits the mythological archetype of the fool - the character that’s intelligent but doesn’t normally resort to common sense. Yeah, Jar Jar is a bumbling buffoon, but had it not been for his mentioning that the Gungans are a warrior society, the Naboo never would’ve had the backup they needed to battle the Trade Federation.

Honestly, Im with you on the movie theater one. Especially after the pandemic seeing just how viable streaming/VOD markets are...I hope more of that still continues going forward. Like no, my TV and sound system isnt going to be as good as the theater but I can guarantee I wont have people talking throughout the movie, singing along, bratty children or crying babies. Plus as mentioned...I can pause the movie if I need a drink refill or to go the bathroom.

17:24 The amount of people I’ve seen slamming the upcoming Scarface retelling because ‘you should never remake perfection’ is ridiculous. The 1983 Brian De Palma version is a remake in of itself, and not a subtle one- a lot of the core plot points and motifs are carried over. Now the 1983 version is phenomenal, of course, but it’s a lot less original than people think. Which is why I think people should be more open minded about the new one- it’s got some brilliant talent behind it as well; Diego Luna is apparently attached to star, Luca Guadagino is directing, and it’s being written by the bloody Coen Brothers. This is some insane talent, and I don’t think it’s fair to just throw it aside because it’s a remake of something else (that is *also* a remake).

What a fantastic video, Ross! I agreed with many of your points and respected the few that I disagreed with. However, I found the “non-binary” comment to be quite uncalled for especially on a cinema-centric channel such as yours.

I have Unpopular Movie Opinions too, like: - I'm okay with Ben Affleck's Batman killing criminals. Michael Keaton's Batman killed first, and I wasn't a big fan of that incarnation. After watching Batman v Superman, I got over with the fact that Batman did commit murder. Also, Batfleck is one of my personal favorite incarnations of Batman. - I never like The Godfather, and I found it pretty boring.

I see the suspect is posting, I see the title, I see this is going to be fun. Let the games begin!

This is a great video. You backed up your arguments well enough to the point of me saying "Yeah, you got a point." I want to add to some things you said, though: 9. As an on-and-off movie theater employee due to the pandemic, it's horrible to lose a job. You may not like movie theaters, but there are people who are working there to make ends meet. 6. There are definitely sequels that are welcome if they're done well, but remakes are a huge gamble. Even then, so are original ideas. 4. In addition to what you said, part of why I stopped caring about awards shows is because of how badly they treat the medium of animation. Best Animated Feature is nothing but a ghetto category. To date, only three have been nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, and that's most likely due to Disney pulling off good campaigns. There were several others that could have been great contenders, but either the Oscars don't care or the studios don't have enough faith to campaign for them. As you said, though, awards shows don't matter. The real winners are determined over time. For example, Citizen Kane, the so-called "greatest movie of all time," never won Best Picture. 2. There are definitely some fart jokes that I find funny like in Blazing Saddles, Shrek 2, and The BFG (2016) to name a few. It's all in the execution. And yes, I can't get enough of that fart joke you made in the Home Alone 2 review. That cracks me up. 1. I rewatched the Star Wars films in preparation for The Rise of Skywalker and started with The Phantom Menace. I didn't find Jar Jar funny, but I wasn't annoyed by him. I guess that's because I don't take things out of proportion. When I heard about Ahmed Best, I sympathized with him. Just because you don't like a character doesn't mean you take your anger out on the actor. They're just doing their job. It gets worse when history repeats itself when vocal fans harassed Kelly Marie Tran just because they didn't like Rose. It's awful, to say the least.

My opinions based on his 10 topics and not necessarily his opinions. 10. "I Prefer watching movies solo." For me it doesn't really matter. It is often fun to see a movie with a friend or relative of mine when we are both excited about it and discussing it when the movie is over. Maybe if the movie turns out to be a bit boring or have less captivating scenes then maybe throw in a joke to make it easier to get through. Some movies, me and my best friend have ripped apart because they where just fully unfun and it made it enjoyable on its own having him there cracking jokes with me during it. One doesn't always need multiple people watching a movie but it can be a fun addon. Also I have had to explain thing to my friend during movies due to him not being good at paying attention to details XD. 9. "I'm kinda happy movie theatres are closed." I have no real opinion here as I like movie theatre for there atmosphere, snacks and overall better acoustics compared to my home. Becomes a good excuse to meet with friends and maybe do something else while we are around other establishments after the movies. 8. "TV shows are better then movies." I think neither are better overall. I would not care for Cast Away if it was a TV series, for example, as that would just be stretching it while the 2 hours it gave me was fully enough to give me a great experience. Also a movie with an ending that ruins it all will only waste 1-2 hours of my time while a series with that issue can waste days. Many books would lend itself better to series while others movies. I don't think either are better overall. 7. "James Bond films haven't aged well." Depends on what you are looking for. Goofy plots and villains? I think they age like wine XD. A stylish look? Most of the movies has aged fairly well. Sexism and racism? They are products of their time. No excuse but just the reason. They haven't aged well if one keep looking at them threw a modern lens but I find it easy to see it for what it is. Products of a bygone era and proof we have come some ways forward for the better. One doesn't have to agree with them to find the annoyable. Just accept time where different then and we have become in many part better since. (Also just remembered but James Bonds, especially Connery era, has been called rapey by many people so I would not call it an unpopular opinion XD.) 6. "There is nothing wrong with sequels/remakes." Depends on intent and the way you go about it. Is the intent to just not let the license slip? Bad reason for a forced sequel. Did the story end and you had to retcon thing to fit the new movie in? Sequel unnecessary. Remaking just cause you have the license? Bad reason. You can end up with a good result but that is rare. If the movie is ripe for expansion then sure go for it. Can a remake go from the same foundation but end up with a different but good result? Sure but other times you get soulless husks of a movie. The Mulan remake is a good example of a movie I would be fine with if it was more realistic and followed the poem closer, being near completely different from the 1998 movie. In the end it didn't, the marketing lied and the end result was a plank of wood replacing one of my favorite childhood heroiness. There is nothing inherently wrong with sequels/remakes but there is nothing inherently good with them either. It all depends on the creators and their "visions" if it ends up as either or totally forgettable. 5. "Best actor/actress should be merged." Oscars should be discontinued as it is not a real reward for hard work more a flashy auction for rich dipshits and their studio masters. A actor with an Oscar vs one without has no difference except one has a gold spray-painted doorstopper. 4. "Award show are BS." There we go. Good lad. 3. "Adaptations don't need to be faithful to be good." Don't really think this topic is THAT unpopular. Sure in some circles it might be heresy but for anyone knowing what they talk about it is a given. The Last Avatar is technically faithful but it sure ain't a good movie. Starship Trooper ain't faithful but damn I love it. 2. "I like fart jokes." Good on you. I only care if it is a GOOD fart joke. 1. "I like Jar Jar Binks." Thank you. While I wouldn't say he is my favorite character by a long mile, some detractors *"cough"* Doug Walker *"cough"* annoy me far more with their whining about how bad the prequels are and how unfunny Jar Jar is. Ironic, coming from Doug about being unfunny. Jar Jar was part of my childhood and I think he has his moments, especially with Clone Wars. Kylo Ren from Force Awakens ruined my day for worse then Jar Jar even did. Jar Jar Abrams on the other hand is a LOST cause and a terrible mystery writer. XD

Petition to bring the fart jokes back

I love how in the beginning he mixes web slinger and wall crawler, "your favorite web crawler!"

40 MINUTES BABY!!!! Let’s goooooo! I love you Ross

In pretty much everything you said, they have their place. Cinemas are ok for a treat, but most of us with not much loot were video renters back in the day, DVD buyers in the interim, & Netflix streamers nowadays, & that's how we watch most of our films. Remakes & sequels are ok if done well, or with a good twist added, but they can't oversaturate the market. Franchises can get boring after too much oversaturation. On the franchise topic, I get it with the James Bond films. James Bond of the olden days was a total back-end job. I grew up in Moore & Dalton days, & even then I found it rather boring, & the amount of Bond films showing up in charity shops is proof I'm not alone. They just go by the same formula all the time: male spy who's disliked by his colleagues, goes to some far-off place, blows a bunch of stuff up, does some fancy stuff, gets it on with some conventionally gorgeous woman, faces off against some deformed or disabled villain, & saves the day. I don't see many twists happening in them, except once, & I'll remember the henchman finding love until I'm in my grave; it was that rare to see such a fun twist. Toilet humour has its place in slapstick comedy, & when it's there, I love it because it's what I expect. I'm not interested in slapstick where it's out of place, or in the middle of a serious scene. But when the characters are goofing off or showing camaraderie, there I'll enjoy it & belly laugh until I myself need to pause for the bathroom. Jar-Jar is us if we get in a Star Wars film. We WANT to be the powerful Jedi, the skilful warrior, or the shrewd politician, but in reality we're just the bumbling fool who sometimes does the right thing. Jar-Jar is like Martin Freeman's character in Black Panther: the outsider stumbling on this world & being amazed by all of it, while panicking when things go crazy. As for the Oscars, they have such hate, not only for comedies, but for animation. There's been so much good animation, both old style 2D & Pixar-esque 3D, not to mention stop-motion, & yet it only ever gets one award: Best Animated feature. Animation is undervalued as an art form, because it's thought to be solely children's media, but it has so much potential. How To Train Your Dragon, Inside Out, Soul, Zootopia, etc, show how animation can bring in assorted creatures, mind-scapes, different worlds, & so on, which with most films can be hard to integrate, even using today's tech. And yep, my fave way to watch films is alone. Shows are sometimes good, sometimes the film is better. Sometimes I want the entire story in one 2 hour session before I hit the bed, sometimes the story needs longer to make, hence shows. Classic example: ATLA. Cartoon, AWESOME. Film, there's a good reason fans say there's no ATLA film in Ba Sing Se. Live Action show, pretty good, & far better than the film, in no small part because it has ten hours to cover the story instead of 2. Do I have an unpopular film opinion, well, I have a ton actually. I like a lot of films people hate on, so the easiest way to put it is to say: if I hate the film, almost everybody else will hate it. It takes a LOT to make me hate a film. I recall when I was using a DVD rental service where they posted some DVDs to me, & I'd return them to swap for others, & they asked for reviews. One DVD I rented was one based on the life of Alexander the Great, & it was SO BAD, I titled the review: Alex And Errrr... Why was it bad??? The (practical lack of) script!!! Every main character had one line they said so much I forgot if they said anything else!!! Also, the chronological order was a mess, I couldn't make sense of half the scenes, & in general I just hated it. Other films ragged on by multiple KZfaqrs, among others, I've enjoyed a great deal. I even like the Star Wars sequels, though I do agree with some of your points, especially Rey's weapon. Double-blade would work so well with her, just like her staff she's used to wielding.

Unpopular movie opinion: Revenge Of The Sith is overrated on the internet.

i agree with alot of points you made, atleast about 80% percent of them, and if you like fart jokes man, do em once and a while, some things ya gotta do just for yourself as for my unpopular opinion,I think batman returns is the best batman movie to date, i think its dark enough to be realistic, and i think its just comicy enough to be just fit in with comic book crowd, whether it be old comic fans or new ones, its got keaton as batman, its got micheal gough as alfred, great action scenes, the gothic city, the whole story feels like something from a batman comic, and i know it was panned by some for being too dark and not advertisable enough but thats what batman is to me

Responses: 1. It depends on the film! I love watching comedies, horrors and blockbusters with friends, but there are movies that are better watched alone 2. It's a double-edged sword, I like going to watch some movies with friends, but there is a lot of baggage that comes along with cinemas, particularly with pricing. 3. This is a really mixed bag, because some TV series are utter dross because a story gets stretched out over too many episodes - could you imagine if Star Wars Episode IV was released as a tv series? It'd never work! 4. I like the older Bond films, they're very of their time (starting 62 years ago) so of course attitudes have changed, but you shouldn't disregard them because of that 5. Agreed. There's nothing wrong with a sequel/remake, however a cash grab sequel is odds on far more likely to be a bad film than a planned trilogy etc. 6. I agree that voice talents and stunt work need more recognition, but I disagree that Best Actor/Actress should be merged - too many people will end up whinging that "[gender] hasn't won Best Actor in [x] years" 7. Agreed that Award shows are BS. The Oscars and BAFTAs feel incredibly pretentious, and whilst I can appreciate arty movies, I do feel movies with popular appeal often get overlooked. 8. Adaptations don't have to be faithful to be good, but the key distinction should be 'inspired by' and 'adapted from', one being a looser take, the other representing faithfulness 9. Depends on the movie, but generally speaking it does lower the tone 10. Jar Jar Binks, if theories are to be believed, could have been one of the best characters in Star Wars if George Lucas had stuck to his guns. However, we're now stuck with Jar Jar Binks the annoying Gungan rather than Darth Jar Jar, the puppet master. Controversial movie opinion: Black Panther was a distinctly average Marvel fare and doesn't deserve the mountains of praise heaped upon it. I'm not slating anyone for it, but it's by no means a stellar Marvel outing.

Great video, Suspect, some of your opinions line up with mine, like with the watching movies solo to immerse yourself into the story more and with the "Best Actor/Actress" award being merged, as regardless of the gender connotations they are the same job (and yes, award shows are the drizzling shits) There is absolutely nothing wrong with sequels/remakes at all, linking this with the adaptations opinion too as they go hand in hand with whoever is directing and producing it, it is there take on the story and can pick and choose what to add and alter from the source material. I too, also enjoy the odd fart joke in movies, for example, Austin Powers with Fat Bastard dropping out out of the blue after his heart-felt stories. Keep up the good work, dude, also loved the beginning of part one You: At the risk of being labelled a absolute "scrooge", i dont see the appeal of watching a movie with other people Drug Dealer Dave: *SCROOGE!* (Name i came up for that character)

Personally, I have more fun watching the movie for the first time by myself, but I prefer rewatches with other people to see their reactions.
