re: Your unpopular movie opinions

I thought Manchester by the Sea was the most overrated movie I have seen in a while. After reading on this board that it was a "masterpiece" and "amazing", plus the ton of acclaim it received nationally, I was looking forward to watching it.

I understand that it is a character study and not in a typically movie format. But seriously, it is just two and half hours of depressed Casey Affleck and his annoying ginger of nephew. That kid was just the worst ! And then of course in typical modern "great movie awesomeness" it just sort of ends, and you're left saying "well...o.k. then ?"

Hollywood loves movies like this that are not typical and want you to feel like you just don't get it if you didn't like it....I got it, and it was crap !

It was labeled as "the most depressing movie ever"...I don't know but I get more depressed watching "This is Us" on NBC more than from this movie.

Michelle Williams was supposed to be "SOOOO AMAZING!" in this movie...she was on screen literally 10 minutes, and the confrontation scene that was supposed to be all the rage was just a slobbery apology.

the one scene of Affleck in a police station was truly a powerful scene. The rest of it is a kid scoring with girls he would never have a chance to score with in real life. The writer must have written himself into this role and decided to fulfill his long lost high school dreams.

People will hate to admit this on this board in fear of being told to "go watch Conair" or some other lame response, but you know what, I will go watch Conair because that was a solid flick (another unpopular opinion for this topic)
