This has a very talented and proven director.

 

A Monster Calls 87%

The Impossible 81%

The Orphanage 87%

 

That's a pretty fantastic track record quality wise. He hasn't directed anything else.

A Monster Calls is a heartbreaking film.

honestly, just own your opinions no matter how shit others might find it to be.  people who agree with the popular consensus all the time are boring anyway.

Definitely. It wasn't a slight at all. I admire it even if I don't understand or agree with it.

People who disagree with the popular consensus all the time are boring anyway too.

I agree with Baumer on Thor Ragnarok being laugh free and pretty boring. About as boring as Murder on the Orient Express.

 

But let’s not derail the thread.

in what way?  anyone straying from what's considered the popular consensus allows other people to consider what they found to be bad in a film that you thought was good, or vice versa.  if everyone was in perfect harmony regarding the quality of a film, then film discussion would be pointless.

Is Jake Johnson's computer-guy meta-character, who seemed to be around just to subtextually say how stupid the audience was for wanting to see JW, gonna be back? He was great.

Constantly disliking anything commercial or mainstream is rather tedious I found in reality.

 

Not saying you are, just people in general who are.

First, there is nothing intelligent in ALWAYS standing against the popular opinion. Without a well-founded thinking of why you position yourself this way in a particular case, it just seems like a childish tantrum. It's just boring and annoying.

 

Second, there are about five, six people here who are practically always against the popular opinion. And I tell you, the arguments that these people use would not make anyone 'consider what they found to be bad in a film that you thought was good, or vice versa''. It's just the same bad comments ''It's boring'', ''trash, garbage'', ''mediocre'', ''soulless'', ''CGI fest'', etc. OR ''movie X is way better than movie Y''. 

 

Third, if the person who is '' straying from what's Considered the popular consensus Allows other people to consider What They found to be bad in the film That You thought was good, or vice versa, '' why can't this person also change an opinion following what the ''popular consensus'' is saying? I've never seen this happening. Do they think they have a ''better'' opinion? Are they too closed-minded? I think I know the answer.

Subjectivity is the spice of life.

That being said, you re all mostly wrong about movies.
