Default Unpopular Book/Film/TV Show Opinions
We already have one of these for music, so I thought I'd open one up for the media section. So what unpopular opinions do you hold?

I'll get the ball rolling with this one: Farenheit 451 is a mediocre book with a terrible ending, especially with Bradbury's potential to be a better writer as evidenced by his short stories.

I find Mad Men to be really boring and just cant get into it.

I just watched half of the first Star Wars for the first time in years yesterday and was awestruck by just how awful and awkward a lot of the dialogue was. Most of the actors managed to pull it off, but Mark Hamill just dropped turd after turd, and it was only partly his fault. "Biggs is right I'm never gonna get out of here!" might just be one of the worst lines in all of film. And the stormtroopers...woof. Thank god other people directed the other two cause George Lucas couldn't direct traffic.

Oh and the art direction was pretty hit or miss as well. Sometimes it was brilliant and other times it looked like a bad episode of Dr. Who. Seriously, what was Lucas thinking with the droids in the Jawas...desert...tank...thing? And Luke and Leia's outfits? Woof.

I'll probably get alof of hate for this but Harry Potter.

I fail to see what is so great about the books and movies, i mean i enjoy the story as a fantasy tale but ive met some ppl that are REALLY into it, it's like Harry potter is a way of life for them.

It's been almost 25 years since I read that book so maybe I'd view it differently now, but I really loved it at the time.

x2. I've had so many people tell me I'd love it because I've worked in the marketing and advertising world my whole career, but think that's actually the exact reason I find it boring.

Its certainly a dialogue heavy show, and can drone on at times, but I really enjoy it.

Two and a Half Men- I never understood the love that Charlie Sheen got for this show. What a deplorable plot of a show and the one liners make me cringe. Also Jon Cryer, you suck.

If Seinfeld is Genesis then Two and a Half Men is the Damned (at least the first album). A sitcom stripped down of all pretensions and intellectualism and reduced to the simple concept of setup -> punchline. Not that I'm saying it's in any way artistic, but it's just a sitcom that requires no brain to enjoy, which doesn't necessarily make it the abomination that so many think it is.

Unpretentious and brainless is fine but I still require my comedies to be funny. Two and a Half Men isn't.
