Top 10 Popular Films James Rolfe Doesn't Love

Is he right to not love these popular films?

Other urls found in this thread:

hooktube.com/watch?v=DFe0OR-Vaww
twitter.com/SFWRedditGifs

agreed about The Matrix, The Godfather Part II (and part I tbh) and The Big Lebowski

haven't seen the others

Honestly haven't seen

The Sixth Sense
Overrated garbo

Both can be enjoyed for different reasons, I don't love either but there's nothinh inherently wrong with them.

Taste is subjective. There is no right or wrong when it comes to what movies you enjoy. That being said, if you like gay shit I'm totally going to call you a fag.

what's his reasoning? not enough white women sleeping with black men?

He mostly says "they're good but I don't get what's so special about them"

Look if you think The Godfather 2 is overrated, while youre obsessed with Star Wars schlock, then your opinion is pretty is much invalid. The Big Lebowski is the most overrated film of all-time? Didn't this guy praise the new Mad Max: Reddit Road as a "masterpiece"?

...

I knew I was arguing with 12 year olds. That list is the most basic fucking list ever made, and if you haven't seen every one of those movies, then you really shouldn't be commenting on film.

The people who like the godfather part 2, star wars and the big lewbowski and mad max fury road are the same

I didn't praise it. I just pointed out that he's calling it the most overrated movie, when all I know about this guy is that he's obsessed with Star Wars and Ghostbusters. Literal children's movies that were meant to be throwaways.

Please kys

Wow thanks for redpilling me on what your literally who friend simulator thinks of godfather 2 user. Really top shelf bread going on here.

Not in a world where Pulp Fiction, Capeshit, Starshit and Scott Pilgrim vs The World exists. But yes it is up there on the plebbit ranking.
Also anybody you ever meet online who has a Big Lebowski related avatar is always an insufferably pretentious prick who thinks they've got life figured out man. Every one of these fuckers in every single forum I've ever been in was like the same person was talking because they're just interchangeable.

The Godfather Part II is not on that list though.

the godfather is on that list because like part 2 its a film that people feel they have to praise to look like a cinephile

What's wrong with him?


Watch his reasoning. Basically he lived with a guy who loved the film so much he became the main character and started wearing a bathrobe around and he and his friends would constantly quote the movie to an annoying level. Also, apparently there's a festival and religion dedicated to the Big Lebowski too.

To most of them he just says that he appreciates them, but doesn't love it on the same level most people do, which is fine, who cares. It's only Donnie Darko and The Big Lebowski which he flat out dislikes.

...

Does he say they are bad films or he just can't get himself to like them?

so he's not only a cuck, but also a closet homo?

But that is the original Godfather, not Godfather Part II, and as they are two different films it is therefore not Reddit as it never appears on that list.

He says most of the time that they're good but not that great. Basically he's saying they're overrated.

Roommate possibly

I could understand wearing that shirt as part of the AVGN character, but this is just James Rolfe talking.

does he actually think it's an acceptable shirt for an adult man to wear?

when did he get a tattoo?

and why?

Sometime last year, because he and his pig wife are actual trailer trash.

Spoken like someone with shit taste.

could he be anymore of a virtue signalling douche

He says some are good or fine but not as good as the praise that is laid on them, which a lot of popular films have. I think the only one he outright said sucked and only interesting because it was weird was Donnie Darko.

He said in a recent video that he doesn't eat take out food anymore so something must be going right.

An opinion is inherently subjective, that's why it's called an opinion. You can't measure whether a film is a good or not, you can just say what you liked about it and what you didn't like about it. People who try to claim that there are objectively good movies and objectively bad movies and that everyone has to have a consensus on things are insecure in their own tastes so they need a set group belief to conform to.

She looks like a pornstar I would deliberately avoid watching.

godfather ii always seemed gay shit to me tbh
it discouraged me from watching part iii

What does virtue signaling have to do with any of this? Learn when and where to use words.

nothing wrong with the occasional take out food

why isn't his wife cooking for them, though?

fuck off

That is not what he said.

Never watched
Pretty good. Nice climax.
Dude, twist ending.
Pretty classic. Almost a meme movie.
Okay. Never understood the hype. Overrated indeed.
Absolute kino.
Overrated
Never seen
Pretty good
Never finished it. Overrated.

Most of these besides TDK are overrated.

Dark Knight is definitely overrated. I loved it the first time I watched it but it really didn't do anything for me after. All of the Nolan Batman films aren't all that great past the first viewing for me.

All of Nolan's movies past the first viewing aren't that great.

Except maybe Momento

To argue that films are objectively good or bad is to argue that the goodness or badness of a film can be quantified or measured. Can you do that?

I've heard plebs say that Stalker is a shitty movie because it's boring and that Tarkovsky wastes the viewer's time, thus he's a bad film maker. When they say that, they aren't lying, they just have shit taste and when they view something like Stalker they bring their shit taste to the table and blame the movie for their own ADD minds. That's the reason why art is subjective, because every person who views a piece of art is totally different, with their own baggage and beliefs.

Your kino card has been revoked. Christopher Nolan can't direct shit, cant direct a performance, can't direct action scenes, cant direct.

Only reason it is considered GOOD is heath ledger knocking the part out of the park which was nothing to due with nolans direction. Everything else is a slog, and literally cringey shit to get through.

It's considered good because critics shilled the fuck out of it and it became the meme movie that pushed the narrative that comic book movies had now "made it" as a genre. It was just marketing bullshit. Nolan is the most overrated director working today.

Agreed.

...

...

the funny part is that you admit yourself there is a hierarchy in tastes when you label your pleb freinds as shit tasters

Yes, it is. How else do you explain the fact that two people can watch the same movie, or listen to the same song, and get different things out of it? It isn't that the piece of art literally changes from person to person, it's that people interpret the piece of art through their own minds which are full of their own little peculiarities.

He's right though, let's take the best example we can.

2001: A Space Odyssey
All of these things are not objective arguments against the film, they are subjective my fee fee arguments. Same goes for anyone who calls something they don't like shit.

And that hierarchy is subjective. Do I look down on the people I deem to be eating shit, yes, absolutely. And at the same time there are shit eaters who look down on me for enjoying the films that I enjoy. There are retards who watch Rick and Morty and Harry Potter and probably think I'm no taste pleb for not enjoying those things.

why do you call them shit eaters if taste is absolutely subjective? if we adopt your worldview they just have a different opinions which is just as respectable as yours

stop grouping Harry Potter into everything I get shit on for liking harry potter and I like many kinos (that you would like I have a wide range of taste fuck rick and morty though), then I go into a completely other discussion and get hate on by Nolan plebs for telling them hes a exposition machine and a cliche bitch. I get hate on by the same people that enjoy things I do when I say I like lesser popular films.

Because from my point of view they are shit eaters. The problem is not that people have opinions, the problem is idiots who think their opinions are objective facts. A lot of the fun of 8/tv/ is that we have a wide range of opinions and that a lot of us play devil's advocate and argue with each other over movies. There is no actual consensus on things here, from The Prequels to Twin Peaks to The Neon Demon and more, we have good conversations about them all.

And then there's faggots like you who try force a consensus and say that things are objective. Do you know what would happen on a board like Holla Forums if taste actually was objective? We wouldn't be here, the board would be dead, because there'd be nothing to discuss, nothing to talk about, no memes to be made.


You get shit on because you tried to force a meme and banned people for saying Harry Potter sucked. Stop being a faggot and maybe we'll stop bullying you.

Oh, and Harry Potter is overwhelmingly garbage. From the lame good vs evil plot with Wizard Hitler, and the boring protagonist, to the school setting, it's just tedious and the fans of it are absolutely unbearable. The only decent movie was the one with the werewolf, mainly because of its atmosphere. The rest of them were television tier.

Kino Tier
Citizen Kane

Pleb Tier
Titanic
The Sixth Sense
A Christmas Story
The Matrix
The Dark Knight
Pulp Fiction
The Godfather Part 2
The Big Lebowski
Donnie Darko

He is 90% right. Shameful that anons here are actually fighting this.


Stop embarrassing yourself by putting Harry Potter in with actually good films then. They are serviceable blockbusters but it is cringeworthy when they are put up against other better films especially considering they are a franchise that has to be watched consecutively. Same as when people put The Dark Knight trilogy with other much better stuff. It's fine to have these as guilty pleasures but they just don't stack up to the competition

right right, but if taste is subjective they could call you a shit eater for preferring tarkovsky to rick and morty, right? and they would be just as right as you are, wouldn't they?

What are you talking banning people? What?
And here we go you call them all garbage and guess what you're wrong and I'm gonna tell you that you have shit taste.

Yes. That's their right to hold that opinion.
No, because none of us are right. We just have opinions. Opinions can not be right or wrong, they just are.

No nigga half of them are legitamte standalone kino if you actually watch films for what the film is, instead of being a bookfag plotbbaby pleb. Not only that they and lotr are the only good blockbusters and I know that for a goddamn fact.

You tried to force the Harry Potter is kino meme and tried to force the Reddit Wars meme because you were butthurt that people naturally started making pro-Prequel memes but still hated Harry Potter. It didn't work, so you lashed out and started banning people. We're not going to forget that.


No. Just because you saw Harry Potter as a kid and have fond memories of it does not mean that it's actually good. The actors are bad, the story is simplistic and boring, and the films vary wildly in terms of cinematography, tone, atmosphere, and pacing from film to film. Overall, it's an awful series.

The word 'kino' has no meaning anyway. The best HP flicks are still 7/10 at best. Sure it has its good points but that's it, they are not some highly recommended films to watch. In fact, rewatching them is more tedious than anything.

Rewatching them will only illustrate how poorly they hold up. LOTR still holds up today because all three movies have the same style and atmosphere (being filmed back to back) Harry Pooter does not work because like Disney Wars, the directors were just working for the studio and for Rowling and had no actual creative vision of their own.

fine, but their saying rick and morty is genius and tarkovsky is boring shit and you're a pleb for liking it is just as valid as your opinion

Not reading but, their entire elements the editing, cinematography, directing, casting, soundtrack, atmosphere all did a bang up job especially after Columbus left. Not only that they get even better on rewatches and I've saw them last year in IMAX.
1 10/10
2/ 8/10
3 10/10
4 8/10
5 10/10
6 10/10
7 10/10
8 10/10

It's just as valid of an opinion. It's also an opinion that will lead to me ignoring all their other opinions.

It is the same guy who thought Colonia, Perks and Ballet Shoes were good, there's no point arguing on a films merit, his argument is purely 'muh dik' for Emma

literally fucking bullshit you haven't watch them watched any of the production or even know what WB did

they gave them full creative control thats why the fourth film for example is batshit crazy directed by Newell and the first to are inherently Columbus and the third very Cuaron and the other very Yates yet all somehow different.

nigger i'm one of the main promoters of the reddit wars thing and never did i praise hairy pozzer
stop implying implications

Maybe they are all good and you just are mad?

You're a fanboy. Literally nothing you say matters because you're obsessed with Emma Watson and you also claim that the live action Beauty and the Beast movie is kino (the Disney one) even though it's blackwashed trash and there is a superior French live action Beauty and the Beast.

That's the thing they hold up better than LOTR. Only fellowship is honestly very good. But you probably don't have a good copy or television.
Tell me how good LOTR will age when HP is on 4KHDR and looks like it did in theaters and they just remastered the first two

When LOTR was made with 2K graphics and looked like ass 8 years ago. I could go on.

the ones who aged the worst are the last ones, who tried to cash in on the wave of emo/goth/twilight-like shit of the late 00s

Sure thing.

that film is straight up garbage mate you assuredly have shit taste, that bitch was a terrible belle and the beast and here and the entire production was tv show amateur hour.

ok, cool
have fun watching your tarkovsky shit ya pleb

they just followed the books fam

...

You mean the ones that were better than the books?

I bet you think Solaris is a bad movie because the special effects in the ending sequence are rough looking. Lord of the Rings has a defined visual style and a consistency through the three films. It doesn't matter if the CGI looks bad in 666K, what matters is the story they told and the way in which they told it.

You're talking to two different people

ok

t. twilight fan

Did you not see the fucking LOTR shit bluray thread where they fucked up the print?
Guess what you meme about filters and LOTR is the shit that got a shitty fucking filter bitch.

LOTR was done by the same hack that did the hobbit films, his own fucking directing chops are DUDE SLOMO.

And no shit fuckface thats why you shouldn't open your mouth both have aged well because they do both the sotry and their own visual styles. The entire fucking point of HP is that it changes, because the magical world would literally look different to a kid thats new to it and its shiny and bright compared to after people stary dying.

Damn, you're really butthurt that we don't like Harry Pooter. The French version had original visuals and followed the classic story while the Disney one just aped their own cartoon. You are the definition of a pleb.

nope

That is one of the worst films I've seen in it year, again you must be a pleb to fine that good, it fails in every single basic way.

Premium Salt

She was good in The Circle and The Bling Ring and that's it. I'm never going to let you forget that she was in the DUDE WEED LMAO film 'This is the End' and probably got blowbanged by the whole cast

Not that person, although I've seen that and the leads are honestly shit dude, stop shilling that shitfest, it's considered an embarrassment for a reason. You're tooting your own horn unironically to praise that unemoting frogfag shit.

but why did people need to start dying in the first place
it's a movie about a young baby wizard with round glasses and a magic wand for fuck sake
it's like the dark night, it's a movie about a moron dressed up as a bat, you can't get only so much dark and serious before it starts to become ridiculous

Yep. Really a shame that he's a mod.

Oh wow I should totally respond serious. All her films but Regression are good. Yea she was the best part of that movie and it's probably their only watchable one.

How well will this scene hold up in muh 4K?

hooktube.com/watch?v=DFe0OR-Vaww

If I was a mod I would literally be banning you all. Nice to know you actually have schiziphrena though.

It changed tone because Rowling is a hack who decided to cash in on teen angst. At least Stephanie Meyer had a consistent vision for her story (never actually read the books, but I'm guessing she did)

What do you mean? Isn't it 4K or 6K in theaters?

What the fuck kind of rating is this. You're a fanboy, nothing else. That would be fine on its own, there are people more retarded here but forcing this opinion that the HP series is kino and are some of the greatest movies ever is just nonesense. Find something better to do rather constantly shitposting so much. People here bought into the 'prequels are kino' because those guys managed to put effort into their arguments and never got as mad as you are when someone argued against them. Go make a thesis, video or think up of some actual arguments backing up your claim instead of repeating your same tired opinion here.

lmao, wow that's bad

My point is that 4K isn't saving Harry Potter from being trash.

That's my rating after seeing them all in theaters last year and the first two in the IMAX format remastered for the first time. Most of them were perfect theater experiences you fag

The Prequel ones worked because we made memes and actually argued our points instead of just sperging out all at once and getting angry that people disagreed with us. You can't just expect people to agree with you, you have to give them a reason to agree with you.

Confirmed for being so assblasted that you can't handle your opinion being completely shat upon. You won't convince anyone here with that attitude.

That's a great scene though, that you've conveniently cherrypicked like a youtube cuckchanner when it works very well in the middle of the film edited between the sequence its shown in.

LOTR isn't that good besides 1 2 get over yourself.

...

Nigga you liked the Circle as one of your only ones, most of her films are better than that one and I'd consider it good and you consider it good. So stop arguing about nothing.

I told you I would ban you if I was a mod (honestly just because youre a faggot) so I'm not therefore your entire argument is a buttblasted brigade

He doesn't understand that, though. He seems to think the crystal clear picture will somehow make up for the lack of interesting characters and the lack of any actual theme or subtext. Harry Potter is really no different than capeshit, it's about a stock hero (Harry) fighting a stock villain (Reptile Face) and that's it. The good guy is good because he's the good guy, and the bad guy is bad because he's the bad guy.

This shit was brilliant. Honestly, better than Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. Go ahead, respond with memes and contrarianism.

It didn't work well at all. It was the only scene I remember from the entire series only because I remember literally laughing out loud when I saw it. Maybe I was just too old for HP by the time came out. It could be an age thing, but that fucking sucks regardless of age.

Sad.

Everyone in my theater liked it. And no its actually a hearfelt moment and a kino scene.

It's even worse when you're a young kid, I was bored out of my wits watching that shit when I was in Elementary.

...

Did you interview them all about that specific scene as they were walking out?

Turns out you are both plebs how about that, plebs on a tranny game of thrones polsperg board.

I never realized Harry Potter was a trigger for so many autists

It's pretty much confirmed to be the most kino film besides azkaban so yea

Holla Forums BTFO

Harry Potter was written by a woman so it's automatically gay.

honestly that's probably how you know it's so great

Nah she only wrote Fantastic Beasts, men directed and wrote the HP films which is why they were met with controversy from fans.

...

you're trying way too hard

He can't help it, he's genuinely angry right now. In the past he has admitted to having a young daughter, he's probably yelling at her this very second.

...

What are you talking about? You are acting like you know me lol I have no kids.

Amateur hour.

...

It's true though the first two are almost all tan orange and blue then at the halfway point it changes.

That is edited you fucking to hell and back and frozen fam

Yeah, I thought the whole thing felt kinda special. Shitposting and memes are fun and all but the prequels are kino time was unique, in that it was fueled on actual discussion rather than shitposting. In fact the shitposters were called out as RLMdrones and what not, it was fun.

Yeah it does look a bit weird.


I fucking rue the day when one autist decides to say 'MCU is kino'.

yes we were already discussing it, it's because for some reason they decided to take a kid movie series and use it to ride the angsty emo teen wave of the late 00s
i fail to see how that is something to be praised though

It looks weird because its a cinemagraph and it is edited stabilized and looped plus other effects.

mcu will probably be kino compared to whatever shit we will see arise in the 20s

No fam, ummm witcraft is inherently dark. Harry's story wasn't nice to begin with, she had to neuter her book to get it published thats why chamber of secrets is all gas all muggles and shit. She was grimdark always.

Its just a withcraft fantasty tale. She wanted Terry Gilliam to direct it wasn't supposed to be nicey nice.

If they weren't hacks the transition would have been gradual and natural instead of jarring.

God help us all

No

Yea it works completely actually because they build up to the tone change. Did you watch them? Even number 2 has some fucked up shit. 3 was completely different. And so was 4. They all got more mature as the characters aged. Who woulda thunk it.

...

The transition was gradual every single one is different.

You don't even know what we're talking about do you? We're talking about the visual style of the films that totally changes out of nowhere.

nigger i read the first books as a kid
it was a series for kids and young boys at the beginning

I bet they were so pleb they didn't even have the director extended cuts for the first two

No they aren't, The first 3 or 4 looked fine, then the last ones started trying to look like Nolan shit.

Do you get that film is a medium where different things are encouraged?

How is it out of nowhere? Book 3 was very atmospheric.

But there skeletons and ghosts, that's pretty grimdark.

You're a dipshit because the dps for the last ones are top and the framing and directing is better looking than anything Nolan could conceive. 5 and 6 particularly have their own styles the dp of 5 shot three colors blue and the cover of order of the phoenix is blue so she was actually the best guy you could get

wow he's a real rebel.

oh my, trasparent john cleese that makes silly jokes about losing his head, so spoopy uuuuuh

Ok

By this logic Star Wars and Spider-Man are grimdark as well. With every post you out yourself as a fanboy who has no conception of the words he's using.

Thanks for overseeing the bluray Pet-

Someone get this Potterhead outta here!

Harry Potter is infamous for going grimdark and you're trying to argue it isn't, very cute

JUST

Pretty sure everyone ITT is being autistic even me

Well yeah but the main origin for the derailment is the potterhead.

ftfy

Nah it was the autist who was mad at potter and who called him a mod with a daughter fighting autism with autism

lol they don't call it BLUE-ray for nothing amrite XD

I guess he took the ==blue== part seriously XD

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

you're trying to argue hairy pozzer was always grimdark, he's trying to make you understand that it was a sudden change in the middle of the series to cater to the wave of post-twilight grimdark shit
nice try shifting the goalpost

By the way, just found out that James is 37 years old, wow is he old now.

Fuck off, Potterhead.

No I said it naturally gets grimdark, watch chamber of secrets extended and prisoner of azkaban and goblet of fire and tell me that isn't gradually getting darker.

It never gets grimdark. Grimdark stories don't have villians that are defeated by the power of good.

Seems like you actually don;t know what you're on about and are blaming Harry Potter for being successful and there being knockoffs.

There's never been a mainstream grimdark franchise. Even Game of Thrones is just generic fantasy with gore and tits thrown in to disguise that.

...

...

If you're really this much of an autist, the series has tone shifts that focus on Harry and he doesn't have a good ole time after Voldy returns.

the book came out a year earlier and the movie was hyped out long before it came out

No, nobody knew or gave a shit comparatively to harry potter until the film came out and you are absolutely retarded to think Harry Potter had to adhere to anything but itself. The series had the same scriptwriter for all of them but 5. And they all feel the same yet different because of the progression in the story.

nah

Yes and the sixth one only has comedy because it was the last time they could incorporate it so they decided to use as much as they could. Since the next book was not allowing of much comedy.

...

Those are two different anons. And HP is better than most all films in the OP besides godfather part 2 obviously.

i was talking about twilight, retard

...

HP is definitely on the same level as the big redditski

So was I can you read, nobody comparatively gave a shit about twilight to harry potter then and film 5 came out before twilights first film. Harry Potter did its own thing the entire time.

All the good lines in the world can't save a mumbo jumbo pointless wank that is a jew Coen brothers movie.

Oh, you're that guy.

It would be nice the directors had a purpose for making the film to show something off elemental wise that I could give a shit about and remember.

I feel the same way when talking about films her, fucking nazis.

It's a comedy movie. If it has funny lines it's good.

the fact that anybody gave a shit about harry potter before the movie is irrelevant to what we are discussing now
the last grimdark movies came to ride the wave of emoshit of that period, which twilight was a main cause of

No they didn't because as I pointed out the tone change and the DIRECTOR change which is all you're arguing BTW the same argument that plebs use against not liking it because its different.
Came out in 2007 before Twilight, no fucking reason to pander to Twilight you dumbfucking nigger. Harry Potter is a million times more relevant.

the movies are nothing alike man, if anything twilight tried to copy HP and failed

You can see it in the later HP posters, too. They knew their target audience. Twilight catladies and sexually-frustrated teens.

Wrong, now you're using the poster as a fucking scapegoat. The latter films are directed to closest to Cuaron's. Except they are edited better.

Classic. Pretty much built the foundation of modern film. All of your favorite directors aped this movie.

Over rated, but not annoyingly so like capeshit movies are.

Who over rated this? It's a good flick and nobody has ever claimed more.

It's just downright un-American to not like this.

Just stop. The Matrix was an amazing film that was unlike anything seen at the time. You're playing to a crowd that you know damn well is too young to remember it.

Another contrarian opinion for the sake of contrarianism. Such a well-made film that it spawned a decade of knock-offs with audiences demanding said knock-offs.

Tips contrarian fedora. Again another film that was so unique and miles beyond what was coming out at the time. You are obviously letting modern internet culture affect your opinion on film. "I'm looking for deep meaning in a film". Why? Is your life that fucking empty?

Holy tipped fedora, Baitman!

Does this guy enjoy anything?

I'm not using posters as anything. Just noticing how marketing executives definitely knew the type of person most likely to want to watch their movie.


I'm noticing more and more people base their life-choices on whether or not reddit has something to say about it.

The people most likely to want to watch their movie were HP fans, pro tip I dont even remember the trailers because I didn't need to watch them nor did I care about the posters. And all the posters are the generic "characters standing looking at you" even the fourth one. Goblet of Fire is actually the one taking all the flack for the because for 30 minutes it becomes a romantic comedy. It had to due with the Yule ball and shit, that director did Four Wedding and a funeral. Everyone who wanted to see the latter films wanted to see them because they were actually more fit for adaption on the screen, 5 6 7 have cool climaxes. As did goblet of fire.

They did their own thing and had everyone hooked from the getgo, it was the highest grossing film in 2001 over fellowship of the ring. The directing styles changed. And all this arugment is about is mistaking muh twilight pandering to the directors actually changing and making their own films which they did and which the producer commented on saying is the best way to get the best film you can, like when they hired Cuaron and it didnt gross as much as the others but was still critically received the best.

If I blurred the faces and erased the titles, you wouldn't be able to tell which poster was which.

Like I said that's "generic standing looking at you"

Also you proved you're wrong here that first poster is not a poster for deathly hallows because Harry is 14 and thats his costume from prisoner of azkaban

So even the old posters looked like faggy Twilight bullshit for fauxgoth pre-teens? Damn, you showed me.

...

I didn't even know what Twilight was before I had read every single Potter book and seen most of the films in theaters.

So you admit it's faggy shit on par with Twilight?

read this
thanks for addressing not a single point and still doing the MUH twilight just because the posters are similar, when you even posted a fake poster

well that's fine. you dont have to like everything popular. He probably has a bit of a contrarian streak. I'll have to watch the video to see exactly what his commentary is on why. Not liking the matrix is alittle surprisingly cuz that's the only film on the list that really left an impact on me. But if you'd already read the comic they ripped it from then it makes sense. I still remember that surreal feeling when we all walked out. and we all felt it - we sorta looked at each other - everyone had the same look, we all laughed nervously because we all knew it. I was the first one to say "so.. what if .." some people were like o.O, some laughed. It's been a while since a movie left me questioning reality like that.

they were my co-workers/college friends

Answer my question instead of giddily linking to someone else's post like a drunken cuckold.

yes, a director that apparently was better at shitting out emo dark garbage that was so in auge at the time
the book came out before, and the first twilight movie was highly hyped, i remember very well the incessant commercials on tv
anyway, even if the came out roughly at the same time they're still both part of that cancerous trend whose lifespawn was fortunately very short, and that's not something to brag about
twilight died off faster, but back in the day it was just as relevant as hp, if not more

I linked to my post. The people involved with Harry Potter are proud to have been a part of it, I know you might not know this buts there 10 years worth of documentaries that are up there with the Lord of the Rings appendices,(when even there Sean Astin apparently was an asshole and even a dick to Ian Mckellen).
Then look what Pattinson thinks about the Twilight movies he's practically embarrassed and has stated his apology for being a part of such a series.

how is that a good thing, hackuaron is a turbofaggot

Nah lad you see the books were like that, so he directed the scripts he was given to fit the scripts he was given and made good films.

you obviously let modern pop culture influence your view too much

That's your subjective opinion but there's nothing wrong with his film or adaptation

The very fact that you keep trying to lift HP onto LotR's dick to keep it afloat makes me think you realize how gay HP is. Just admit it, we're all anonymous. It was an Eragon-tier children's movie that kept it's audience thinking it was cool with edgy emo aesthetics.

I'm not, see once again your angry. I'm a huge LOTR fan and the appendices are something everyone knows about and knows is a reason to point that love and care was put into them.

can I just say fuck The Christmas Story that movie sucks

harry potter was good tho.

Thanks user!

I know you are, hence the post you just replied to.
I put love and care into my penis sometimes, it doesn't mean the end result is pretty.


I disagree.

Yes it does, only watchable for the asshole dad and his lamp

yep, totally organic change, nothing weird to see here

You used like 80 or more letters and didn't say anything.

Also you disagree because you have poor taste.

Yea no shit they are different faggot. They are both pandering to harry potter fans. Who grew up with the series, organically. Apparently your brain hasnt

It's almost like they are two completely different movies with different directors from different decades or something LOL

Maybe we just disagree on this. Don't be mad.


lol

I approximated bubba


How old are you familia? Tell me please.

I'm big and grown up. I like Evanescence and Harry Potter.

my argument is that the edgy emo tone it took in the last movies doesn't fit the general tone of the series nor even the basic premise, and it was made to cash in on the trends of the time which died off a little later, making the last movies the ones that aged the worse, thus the shittiest ones
but hey, if you want to continue mindlessly defending your favourite movie series from your childhood/adolescence and come out as a brainwashed fanboy with no argument suit yourself, you'll have great company with the antifa brigade on twitter, encouraged by mrs. rowling herself

it's almost like you're a dumb nigger with nothing of value to add LOL

I watch Harry Potter over Tarkovsky and Herzog any day of the week.

thanks for your diarrhea, the point is there is no general tone because it changes in every single film, they all have different atmospheres.

again they focused on the characters in this case harry and the trio moreso in the latter ones than the eariler ones. you know cinema focuses on the characters sometimes

This is a good post. "Grown with our audience" is hack-speak for "we targeted a market we thought would give us the most money".
HP was turned from a colorful children's adventure into an edgy werewolf romance story and you defend it because you're dumb.

This

i was indeed talking about general tone
the very premise of the series is to have some light hearted child fantasy in a classic british environment
this was all thrown down the shitter in the latest movies to jump on the emo faggy edgy train
but of course you're just going to tell me i don't get it and keep defending this shit because you have no opinion of your own but what the studio had you thinking

Yea the characters physically aged and weren't children but became teenagers.

no it seems you dont understand it does both perfectly, because the latter ones shouldn't be like the earlier ones because witchcraft is inherently evil as is killing people

Half blood prince is one of the most lighhearted ones and even Order of the Pheonix has comedy montages.

Admit you don't like that they are different and wanted them all to be the same.

You are mad they aren't all the exact same, thats your argument, Therefore you are an enemy to cinema and a fucking pleb. The last two were serious and you got upset lol

oh don't worry user, i understood it since the very beginning of our discussion

You do realize this isn't an argument, right?

Nope but nice try. I see what they did and they matched the atmospheres of the books in film medium and made me care.

weren't you saying they are all different? the first few ones were all kid movies, and according to your very words they were different from one another
you don't make any fucking sense
stop it

...

The first movie, the second movie and the third movie are all different. Columbus even talks about this and making them different and progress because things are going to get even darker. Just as Columbus made 2 a bit more dark, Yates made all his films different too.

Come on, cuz. You can do better. I've given my argument a bunch of times. You've said, "uhh but like emo is like cool because i was 14 instead of 8".

literally your only argument is that we shouldn't argue about harry potter turning into my chemical romance amv material because it's all perfect anyway and we just don't get it

right, so that invalidates what you were telling me before
nice to hear you admit you're an incoherent nigger

The only thing I've been saying the entire time is the atmospheres progresses naturally

I'll see you in 50 years when people are still talking about Harry Potter and not MCR

...

...

...

Dude why did Harry Potter get exponentially darker!!!!!! No fair!!!!!!!!

lolwat


Ease off the lean, Weezy.


I rest my case.

you were telling me i wanted all the movies to be the same because i disliked the turn that the last movies took, despite you saying just a few posts before that every movie, including the first few ones, all had a different vibe
you're internally incoherent

that's why i've been saying that the last hp movies aged badly
to be fair i fail to see how anybody past the age of 16 can take those seriously

the autism and faggotry in this thread is reaching harrowing levels

>>>/reddit/
the most reddit thing you could do fam

A majority of people were aged 17-21 when the last ones came out and they've aged very well shame you have a shit setup. They look great and get better on every rewatch as is the case with good films.

Ok.
Here's a song you might enjoy.

Well that's all you were indicating when you said wah MUH FUN

user, hp was cool because magic is cool. because people like to get immersed in a world that's new and exciting with some things they've heard of and some things they havent. HP was cool because the main characters had a LOT of on screen charisma (rip Snape) and because we got to experience that new world along with the characters. The formula may have been simple but it was what audiences have been denied for a long time.

What exactly did you not like about the films? If ur only argument is they got worse and edgy-dark as they continued, i think we all agree the shift in tone was a mistake.

I'm actually looking forward to hearing why you didnt like it, please elaborate if possible.

Yes exactly, like a bookfaggot

Christ, it's exactly like hearing out a little girl whining on about twiling

His arugment is the same argument actual plebs on reddit twitter imdb and cuckchan will give.

You want stone cold proof Harry Potter isn't reddit?
cuckchan hates harry potter and they are reddit incarnate

It's truly adorable

Kubrick always was overblown. Boring film surrounding a plot hole.
Pointless, obvious smut film where the only thing of quality was the ship sinking.
Boring and dull.
This is a great film, fuck off James.
It was alright. Just alright.
Capeshit, not even once.
Tarintino is a hack.
Was okay, I guess?
The movie manages to carry itself, despite some stupud parts and a nonesense ending.
FUCK OFF, JAMES

i was indicating that the edgy tone of the last movies sucks, it doesn't fit the series and it was done for demographic pandering reasons, which led them to age badly
also, can you please learn how to quote a post? are you new to imageboards or something?

...

And it doesn't suck, it fits the films. Guess what maybe you didnt like the fucking direction Rowling took, the last films are better than the last books. They didn't pander to anyone you fucking idiot. Again you are straight up nigger tier dumb.

i wish, at least i wouldn't be wasting time reading the posts of an annoying fangirl who can't handle someone pointing out flaws with her favourite movies

I was too old when I watched them, and found the child actors irritating and not relatable. The idea of a magic school for weird kids, with their own nerds and bullies, did seem comfy, and I understood why kids liked it. The way it went full Twilight is funny to me, and I like seeing if people defend it, but it was never my thing. You could say I'm arguing in bad faith, but I like to think my points stand.

Adults are aged 16

Well there you go you are a fucking asshole because they are extremely likable and played their characters spot on.

alright, we're just going in circles now
it just doesn't matter how much i try to reason with you, you're just going to shut your eyes and repeat as always that it's perfect, everything with hp is perfect

see? that's exactly what i'm talking about
this is the exact same reaction you would have gotten back in 2009 if you told a 13 year old girl that twilight is shit

...

What? The annoying Harry Potter with his dumb head? The spergy whore who wouldn't give you a reacharound if you paid for it? Or the ginger goofball who makes silly faces for the camera?
If you like the movie, fine. To me, it was trash. The setting beyond the school is boring, the characters are incredibly annoying and trying to make it some dark edgy My Immortal didn't help.

Yea sounds like you're an asshole.

Goblet of Fire is shit adaptation and every single other one is kino

Let me give you some advice. Sometimes in life, the asshole is telling the truth.

And most of the time he's being an asshole who probably wants to kill himself.

Remember, this is all over a 5/10 children's fantasy movie. Calm down.

it is rather obvious that the last movies were pandering to the emo wave of the late 00s which twilight took a big part in promoting
if you keep autistically refusing to see that then you truly are a disingenuous faggot
in any case point still stands that you're reacting like a fangirl
at this point you're just annoying

Your imdb reddit is showing, all of them are kino but Goblet of Fire

well. i guess if they were annoying to me i'd hate to movie too. But i thought ron was da bes. hermione was cute and basically the only reason anyone likes her is because they started liking her during HP. Harry himself was cute and endearing to me and his accent didnt feel out of place or too much. young malfoy was probably my favorite child antagonist in a long time. I'm sorry you couldnt enjoy it, but i appreciate your candor.

Give me a break man they were written by the same guy who wrote the first ones as the characters interact the same and the director made the movie he wanted to make.

This is the formula, they were going to make as much boatload of money as they were the entire time, the producers gave the directors creative control to make the best movies they could as well. Cuaron wanted to come back to the series because he was given creative control.

Malfoy is such a little shit its hilarious in first one and second.

I loved Harry Ron and Hermione for all their own reasons as well. I thought Harry was actually more likable than the books and more human, same with Ron and Hermione but they play off eachother very well.

yes, fine
point still stands the last movies took a shit turn which is out of place and made them age horribly once the emo trend was over

You guys don't even make sense anymore. Point taken, though. One thumb.

So? Justice League was written by the same guy who wrote Buffy.

So? Justice League was written by the same guy who wrote Buffy.

Lad this isnt an argument we were talking about the last movies specifically pandering I'm talking about movies that already exist here, the writer was the same and you can tell the writing is the same good ole writing.

I'm not the other guy. I'm saying all the movies suck dick, the characters are terrible, the entire series is boring unless you're 12, and you should be ashamed for liking it.

They've aged very well, Goblet of Fire has aged much worse. They are actually underrated because of people like you and not even like you at all. They aren't fucking "emo" they are more serious with respects to Harry emotionally yes. It happened. It was something that Cuaron did too early on though, it wasnt going to happen differently.
Truth is they all age well and the first two might have remastered 4kHDR prints but the last 4 already are on 4K HDR and they look very good and have aged very good. You just never liked them. I always liked them but I think they have aged better and I like them more now. Again I've rewatched them multiple times. The one that was shot the worst framing wise and had the worst CG is goblet.

the writing was never brilliant but it did its job for a kids fantasy movie
once they decided to go full edgy emo it all went to shit

Okay but you realize you're wrong. It's the only worthwhile series besides Jacksons trilogy. The only one, you likely watch shit a lot worse.

alright you're not even funny to mess around with anymore, have fun

Can you at least stop memeing and say what you directly are saying, the director changed and did the last four films and gave them and the series some balance as opposed to changing directors. You didn't like David Yates' direction but technically speaking alone his execution is really good.

and

i'm not memeing
yes, and?
no, it just made a laughable attempt to have some grimdark serious spin to it to ride the trend of the time and i'm getting tired of repeating it
who cares

Nope nice try I rate 1/10 for answering some questions simply and sadly

right, fine
can we let this wreck of a thread finally die now?

No one is stopping you from leaving since you are wrong about Harry Potter not being good user.

You know you can make your own thread right guys?

The kind that fucks black guys too.

No one actually loves Citizen Kane. It's a solidly good movie, that's notable for inventing a bunch of techniques. Not for being the best movie ever.

And yet he has a career, a home, a wife, and a child.

Nice try shekelberg.

Empty accusations are for brainlets.

he pays for the whole house and is only at home in the basement, and the wife and kid were a mistake. nobody here feels jealous of that sad sack except maybe those who wish they had that many NES games

Hold up! Is that an official promotional shot of young Emma Watson's panties?

WTF how did they get away with that? Saved
