Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Before you get mad at me, when was the last time you watched it?
The best thing I can say about this movie trilogy is that it is kinda comfy
You might think this is an unpopular opinion, but for many it is a reality, I don't know anyone in real life that liked the movies for example (my sister loved HP and Twilight but fell asleep with The Fellowship of The Ring).
Here in Lemmy is definitely an unpopular opinion.
I spent my teenage years reading, playing DnD and overall just being a huge dork. I was gifted the movies a few times by relatives who didn't know I found the movies boring as hell.
Did you like the DnD movie?
The two from the 2000s were trainwrecks that my friends and I mocked pretty hard. They had a few fun moments, but even then I knew they were objectively bad movies. Saying that, a 13-14 year old me would've been delighted to get those as a gift instead of the LoTR nap inducers.
But the new one?! Honor Among Thieves? Love it SO much. Goofy barely serious characters with hammy backstories living in a world that has both serious consequences and detailed history. Finally nailed it!
Wife and I are just about done with our 3rd-ish Baulders Gate 3 run and we are planning on giving it a rewatch soon. :)
Agreed, I was laughing like a child throughout
Tolkien stans burn me out so much. I'm fed up with them only slightly more than the faux dominion over fantasy that everyone else gives to Tolkien himself.
OMG thank you, I hate them and get so vilified for it. I might have deemed them mediocre had each one been at least half an hour shorter but as it is they’re just a Peter Jackson wankathon.
Full disclosure fwiw:
Peter Jackin'son
Last year. If you're into nonstop action, then yes, they're probably not for you.
I like the movies because the world is cool and they are comfy. There are also a few cool moments. I don't think it's peak cinema or something, but it's a nice watch. Planning to watch them again soon
It was pretty unique for its time. Now everything is just yet another fantasy world. I'd argue it's mediocre when comparing it to the rest of what's out there now.
