Unpopular Opinions

• Iron Man 3 is good.
• The music in Frozen was bad.
• The Huntress on Arrow is actually a fun character.
  Controversial Opinions
• Man of Steel was good.
• Inception wasn't confusing, and was a good movie.
• X-Men Origins: Wolverine was okay.

Waitwaitwaitwaitwait...wait...you mean to say there are people who liked that movie? And not as just..."at least it was better than the **** @#$ piece of [redacted] that Iron Man 2 was" kinda way?

Woah....I need to sit down...

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad.

Yes, about that thing. Especially for you. Yes, you. And all your opinions are wrong at the same time, especially both of you who disagree with each other.

• I liked the Green Lantern movie. It wasn't nearly as good as the Marvel films, but I liked it more than the Dark Knight trilogy.
• While it is a really fun show, I don't think One Piece is particularly special. There are quite a few other Shonen series I've enjoyed more.
• On the topic of anime, I really enjoyed InuYasha (in fact, it may be my favorite anime/manga series). It was popular during it's day, but unlike other popular anime of it's time (like Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, etc.) which have gone on to retain highly praised status in today's anime fandom, IY seems to be the only one from that era that hasn't (with opinions ranging from apathetic at best, to hatred at worst). I understand it does have it's rightful criticisms (and I'll admit I'm a bit nostalgic for it), but I think it still deserves a better legacy than it has gotten.
• Not only do I not really care for the Dark Knight trilogy, I don't really like the 80's & 90's Batman movies either (in fact, I like them even less). The same goes for pretty much any movie Tim Burton is involved with too. I don't know what it is, but his style just doesn't click well with me.
• My favorite film trilogy is the Back to the Future series, and Back to the Future part 2 is my favorite of the three (if only for the awesome future segment, which I like to call the Super 80's).

There are people who thought Inception was confusing? The first 90 minutes was all expository dialogue explaining the plot in tremendous detail LOL. It's like finding a documentary confusing.

Mine:

• Christopher Nolan is a good director, but a poor writer. Memento is his only really good script.
• Four good Batman movies in the last 30 years have saved the DC filmography from being entirely bad in that period.
• Tobey Maguire was horribly miscast and poorly written as Peter Parker and Spider-Man.
• Temple of Doom was better than The Last Crusade.
• Alien 3 is a good movie and a satisfying conclusion to Ripley's character arc.
• Predators (the new one with Adrian Brody/Topher Grace) is the best Predator film to date.

Yeah Inception isn't that confusion. I've seen major game releases with more confusing and deeper plots, though I do genuinely love Inception.

If I do have an opinion on movies, it's that more often than not, I don't care about trying to find plot holes. I tend to enjoy movies as hour and a half experiences more than traditional plots or stories like I would for other mediums. 2 or less hours is almost never enough for me to truly care too much about what's going on in the same way I would a show or something, so I just want it to be a good experience and not care about traditional writing related things as much. But I don't watch a ton of movies so my opinion can be taken with a grain of salt.

also, paradoxes are usually meaningless and lazy criticism for time travel plots

Another batch
-Kirsten Dunst isn't a bad actress. She was pretty good in the Devil's arithmetic, and she got the job done alright in the Spider-Man movies.
-Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory blows away the Gend Wilder one, which quite frankly is pretty weak without nostalgia propping it up (saying this from experience)
-Grant Gustin is the best live action Peter Parker we've ever seen on screen, and he doesn't even play the character.
-Jaden Smith isn't a bad actor, he's just suffered from the roles Will Smith tries to spoon feed him with. He was great in Pursuit of Happyness, and pretty good in Karate Kid.

iPhones are overrated and are just becoming bigger versions of Android phones that already exist.
Spongebob still has some good episodes and I have faith in the new film.
Not every single thing from the 90s was perfection(ex:Mega Babies)
The 2014 Ninja Turtles movie was nice to watch through,but not perfect.
Uncle Grandpa is okay at best.
Putting only old shows on a channel is a horrible idea and the episodes get old in about a month or so.
I don't mind the new Sonic Boom designs.

Wow,I've found someone who agrees with me!I personally thought Tim Burton's version was more interesting and fun to watch than the older version.

• I actually enjoyed Iron Man 3 more than both it's predecessors.
• The Dark Knight Rises is the best of the Dark Knight Trilogy.
• Man of Steel is the best Superman movie to date.
• Full Metal Alchemist and Brotherhood are the best anime out there.
• Attack on Titan was not that great of a show, I can't speak for the manga though.

This is true for many people.

Someone has never seen Superman IV The Quest For Peace.

• Quantum of Solace was really good.
• So was The Bourne Legacy.
• Tom Cruise has done a lot of fantastic work in the last 10 years.
• Cars 2 deserves to exist. Not because I liked it, mind you. I haven't even seen it. But John Lasseter has done so much for Pixar/Disney and he deserves to have his little pet project.
• People who say that horror reboots like Friday the 13th, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Halloween are terrible forgot how terrible the original films were too. The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre in particular is one of the worst films ever made and the reboot was actually a solid improvement.
• There has never been a good zombie movie.

Transformers: Age of Extinction was a brilliant movie. Best of the Summer, and will probably be the best of the year. It had well written characters, a good story, amazing action, was really funny, and good acting. I'm sad, and little worried to hear Bay isn't doing Transformers 5 after it.

Whatever I say about Frozen, Sword Art Online or Attack on Titan is going to be unpopular, so I'll just skip the rants about how they're good/bad. Make up the rant yourself. Who knows, maybe you can mimic my mindset and typing style to a T.
However, I will give my opinions about Monsters University (because it doesn't get talked about enough). Great feel-good movie, excellent imagination and other than Finding Nemo, it's the only Pixar movie I can say I feel comfortable watching two times in a row.
Everything should be in the metric system. It's more simplistic than the imperial system and it's just plain dumb to popularly use one for distance and another for volume.
While Google Chrome is my favorite web browser, Opera is a close second.

YES, THANK YOU!!!!!

I guess that's an unpopular opinion in both the USA and UK but almost every country use the metric system and I think anyone who lives in those countries would never ever use the imperial system instead.

Also, dates should always be written in dd/mm/yyyy form, the mm/dd/yyyy is kinda dumb

Great idea! Now tell me, how are we gonna go out and change every single sign, book, textbook, highway, factory, and everything else that relies on all the established standard systems we've been using for hundreds of years? Where are we gonna get the money for that? What are we gonna do with all the products that were already made and/or labeled with inches and ounces? And how are we gonna educate all the older people who never really had to memorize Metric measurements?

...except metric is the simplest thing ever, as everything is on a scale of ten. Ex.: 1 meter = 10 decimeters = 100 centimeters = 1000 millimeters. (Note the prefixes as well).

But you'll have to convert it to inches until everything that wasn't used with inches aren't in circulation anymore. And what's any of that supposed to mean to somebody who hasn't used it before? Especially to older people who don't have the efficient memory of a teenager?
