Call me crazy but...

There might be a thread like this elsewhere, but I couldn't find one. Basically post any opinions you have that are radically different from what everyone else thinks.

Call me crazy, but I think Back to the Future Part II is better than Part I. I think it's funnier, more bizarre, more unique, and the stakes are higher. Plus there's no Huey Lewis and the News.

Call me crazy, but I think PG Cooper doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

I kid.

Call me crazy, but the Twilight films keep getting funnier.

No, I can't get behind that, but I do think that II is drastically better than III.

I've never understood the dislike for the third one.

It's the silliest of the three and it lacks all the clever time paradox stuff of the first two.

The second is my favorite. Hoverboards!

MasterChief117 · 12-31-2011, 02:14 AM

I like Huey Lewis.

I like II more than III but I don't think III is as bad as people make it to be.

Call me crazy or stupd, but i find The Phantom Menace to be my favorite Star Wars film, followed by Attack of the Clones...

Neverending · 12-31-2011, 05:40 AM

Call me crazy, but I think Michael Bay's The Island is a darn good movie.

I haven't seen The Island in a while, but I remember liking it, so you won't hear an argument from me.

Call me crazy, but I actually like The Dark Knight.

Call me crazy, but I think the first Rambo movie is the worst of the series, and the most recent installment is the second worst.

Ramplate · 12-31-2011, 10:53 AM

I think they all pretty much suck

These are the only ones I've seen. I actually really like the first, but I hated the newest one.

**JBond** · 12-31-2011, 12:56 PM

Call me crazy, but I have yet to see a Rambo movie.

Doomsday · 12-31-2011, 01:52 PM

When Rambo was released it wasn't meant to spur this ridiculous over the top blood and guts unintentionally funny action series. It was based on a book and was meant to be an adventure movie. Steve McQueen was actually interested in taking the role but died of lung cancer, with Stallone taking the role a few years later. Correct me if I'm wrong Drac but I doubt you're a fan of any of the Rambo movies just based on your taste, but I think the reputation of First Blood would be much much different had the other films never been made.

Tornado · 12-31-2011, 02:00 PM

Call me crazy because I always thought that Matt Damon was like a Streisand, but he's rocking the **** in this one.

MasterChief117 · 12-31-2011, 05:36 PM

Call me crazy but I don't like the LOTR films.

Tornado · 12-31-2011, 05:37 PM

You're crazy.

**JBond** · 12-31-2011, 06:49 PM

Call me crazy, but I killed a guy yesterday with a banana.

I feel like First Blood is as poorly made as the sequels but its pretensions of being a serious drama mean that it isn't even any fun. Two and Three at least have good action scenes and are unintentionally funny. The last one however brought back the pretensions and added all that miscalculated genocide stuff which was a complete downer.

PG Cooper · 12-31-2011, 08:26 PM

Call me crazy but I think A Streetcar Named Desire kind of sucks. I find the story boring and all the performances pretty poor, with the exception of Marlon Brando. Though I actually think Brando is too good. We aren't suppose to like him since he's an abusive a**hole, but he's the only one in the film I felt delivered a good performance, so I liked him anyway.
