This is decent, but I actually really liked his Top 10 movies that he hates that everyone else loves. I could not agree more about District 9.

he says straight up all of these are opinion, but I do agree with most of them.

Yeah, I don't see an advantage of having tentacle AI, unless you're just a lazy fuck. Maybe they should've played up that theme. Octavious is a lazy motherfucker who doesn't want to chew his food or blink his eyes, so he starts work on a way to live easier, but the experiment goes horribly wrong.

And being a fan of the comics and the animated series, I HATED these movies. Yeah, I know...suspension of disbelief...blah blah...yeah...too many instances to suspend in my mind. That's why the news of the reboot doesn't bother me too much.

Yeah, and I really didn't need to see amnesia in a fucking Spiderman movie, I don't give a shit if it was one of the many shitty storylines in the comics.

Oh there is, as silly as the 90's cartoon was, I actually thought it was more realistic than the movies. I think there are plenty of ways to make a good Spiderman movie rather than the repeated absurdity that plagued those three movies. I think those movies were to appeal to small kids first and foremost.

It wasn't very realistic...but it was when compared to the movies...at least for me. Even the dialogue seemed more mature.

It's a movie about a comic book superhero, why shouldn't it?

Because you don't have the simplify everything just so little kids get it. You can make movies that appeal to a broad audience. Small kids don't give a shit about the story or even the dialogue, all they want to see is a guy in a suit doing some cool moves while fighting another guy in a suit. These movies just had too much screwball nonsense for me to even care.

I can't wait to see what he comes up with next week with his "10 Movies I Love That Everyone Else Hates" list as I have a lot of those kinds of movies too including 13th Warrior, Man in the Iron Mask, and Cloverfield.

What's funny is that I went into Cloverfield with a few low opinion on what I was about to watch, and came out more impressed than I thought I would. I wouldn't call it one of my favorite movies or anything, but it served it's purpose without hammering some obvious message or trying to make me feel for a character that I don't really care for. It did exactly what a movie should do, introduce the characters, create a rift between them, have something tragic happen, etc etc. All District 9 had was a bunch of over the top gory action, ridiculous plotholes and a main character I hated throughout the entire movie. If you want to watch a good movie about persecution in South Africa, watch Cry Freedom.
