babark: I honestly mean no offense, and please take this as lighthearted as I wish I could make it sound, you seem like an okay guy otherwise, but (unless I'm conflating you with someone else), it really is hilarious (and I do mean funny, in the sense it makes me laugh) how you genuinely dislike almost everything I like or am indifferent to, and find things I dislike to be genuinely good, even when (especially when?) in both cases, the general as well as critical consensus is on my side as well. Adding to the hilarity is how you often phrase your critiques and reviews as the most obvious thing in the world, and of course anyone would agree with you.
Well, it's obvious to me, and I don't give a rat's ass about the general or critical consensus one way or the other. You might disagree with me 100% of the time, but at least you can be sure you're getting my honest opinion.
babark: If I'm not mixing you up with someone else, you liked Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman, Suicide Squad(?),
I love Man of Steel. I like BvS but I acknowledge it's far from perfect (the Director's Cut or whatever it's called is markedly better). Suicide Squad I enjoyed on the most basic "dumb action movie to see with friends" way, I certainly wouldn't praise it any higher.
babark: and disliked everything recent related to Star Wars
Here you definately have me mixed up. I liked Rogue One a lot. I've seen it twice, had great fun both times. Liked the characters, the visuals and the return of my favourite SW villain - Tarkin. I do however think Force Awakens is terribly boring and redundant, with no interesting ideas, terrible villains and bland protagonists.
babark: (I almost suspect you like the prequels. Do you like the prequels? :P)
I hate them with a passion, they are terrible movies. However, I still find them more
interesting than Force Awakens - they do have plots of their own, new places, new memorable designs. They suck much worse than Force Awakens, but at least they are memorable and distinct and leave you with something to talk about.
babark: , everything related to Marvel (did you like Iron Fist? Again, it almost seems like you'd like Iron Fist :P)
Not everything. I liked first Thor and the first Avengers. And Winter Soldier, sort of. The rest is between meh and horrible. And no, I didn't like Iron Fist. It was just boring and dumb. I liked the first season of Daredevil, but got bored quickly in the second.
Again, you have me mixed up. It's my favourite sf movie, one of my favourite movies in general. I love it like crazy. And I think BR 2049 is amazing and a worthy sequel.
babark: Stranger Things etc. So much so that when I see your post in a discussion about some piece of media, I know "Okay, here's going to be a contrary opinion". I mean, it's always nice to be able to see differing points of view, I guess.
I don't mean in any sense to be offensive, I just find it really funny, and figured this would be as good a place as any to ask you about it.
Hey, as long as it's kept friendly it's always good to be able to confront ones opinion with others. It's nice to find people who agree with you, but it would boring without contrary opinions, we need those for interesting discussions.
