Aside from Shia and some of the CGI, Kingdom of the Crystal really isn't all that bad. In fact, I'd go so far as to say its on par with the other Indiana Jones movies.

I do not like Star Wars prequels. (This opinion seems to be unpopular now.)

Clone Wars did not make me appreciate Star Wars prequels just like human rights activist doesn't make me appreciate tyrannical regime.

I like Jurassic Park 3 significantly more than Jurassic World. There's so much more mystery and wonder about a fabricated lost world that is a bizarre mash up of prehistoric creatures among relatively advanced but abandoned technology than Jurassic World's impossibly clean and polished CGI based park. I also remember more practical effects and creatures just roaming around being creatures.from JP3.

To the average person, Jurassic World is the better film, but I'd much rather watch JP3 multiple times than JW.

Glass, last of the Unbreakable/Split trilogy from Night Shyamalan, the same one that got heavily reviled by critics, I feel it did a splendid work in tying the knots with the first and second movies and delivering a great ending overall. All in all, a series of films that outstandingly work through a different take in the superhero genre.

I think that Iron Man 2 was an okay movie. It felt weak due to how the first one was but I generally think with better writing and pacing it could have been a good sequel. I also think Whiplash could have been a better villain if he was given a better reasoning to why he’s so quick to be evil.

I don't think The Dark Knight was very good. Despite the fact that it was supposed to be a more realistic take on Batman the cellphone sonar magic makes no sense and feels like something out of a modern version of Batman Forever. Also how did The Joker sneak all of those explosives into the hospital and the ferries without anyone noticing.

The first Lord of the Rings movie is the best.
Kill Bill isn't really that great when you're older than 16.

Don't know if those are unpopular or not though.

Randall nailed the Lord of the Rings trilogy in Clerks II

2001: A Space Odyssey was not that impactful as I expected it to be. It was a really cool movie for being made in 1968 but I felt a little disappointed when I finished. A few of the scenes felt like they were supposed to impress people with the technology but in this world of CGI and greenscreens it felt a little quaint. An interesting piece of movie history, but unlike a lot of people I just don't see it as an amazing, awe-inspiring experience like many people on Letterboxd and such makes it sound like.

Not gonna lie, when I watched it I was bored for most of the time.

While I think Rogue One was certainly entertaining, I wouldn't go so far as to say it was good. The pacing was wonky and what little character development was there sucked.

It was a pure fanservice flick. Which is nice if you're a fan, but that means it really can't stand on its own merits.

Rogue One is my my Dads favorite Star Wars movie. It’s worth noting that my Dad saw every Star Wars movie in theaters(except Solo and Rise of Skywalker).

I kind of agree. I don't think I learned a single character's name throughout the whole thing. I don't know what this site's collective opinion on The Cosmonaut Variety Hour is, but he had a good point in that Rogue One's latter third was so good that it tricked us into thinking the entire movie was good.

I honestly don’t get why the 98’ Godzilla gets so much shit when it wasn’t any more stupid than the previous ones

I think it was the design that turned people off along with how the directors didn’t have any respect towards the source material. I mean one of the reasons the Godzilla cartoon was much more well received was because of how it was much more closer to the Godzilla we’re used to.

Personally I got much more enjoyment out of Deadpool and felt it was much more memorable than the MCU films.
