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
There are no surprises
The characters don't even learn anything from the last time I watched them!
I didn't remember anything. I was a kid when they originally released.
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.
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.
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
Dude I just had this same experience recently. Hadn't seen them in at least a decade or more. They are not aging well. I know they are older tech but I even feel like the cinematography and special effects are pretty rough around the edges. And i love watching old movies. I love LOTR but yeah probably not gonna watch those again.
