While they have their share of flaws, Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Star Trek V: The Final Frontier aren't these godawful, terrible films that people make them out to be. Sure, they're far from the best Star Trek films, but they have their merits. Both are more "Star Trek" than any of the Chris Pine Star Trek films.

The only good Jason Vorhees film is Jason X
The Lost Boys were laughable and un-threatening even way back in the 80s
There are more unintentional laughs in the final act of Revenge Of The Sith than there are intentional ones in the whole of the prequel trilogy
Jon Carter and Lone Ranger are underrated pieces of "blockbuster" entertainment.
John Travoltas's performance in Saturday Night fever is one of the best of the 70s
The MCU was a high risk, and ultimately an impressive endeavour
Braveheart is one of the worst BP winners
The best films of the 40s were made by Pressburger/Powell
Ballad Of Cable Hogue is one of Pekinpah's best films
The Terminal and Always ae better Spielberg films than Temple Of Doom

1 Spielberg is an excellent technician but a TERRIBLE artist.
2 Di Caprio has given some great performances but The Revenant is NOT one of them.
3 The Shining is a dumb P.O.S.
4 Darkest Hour might be Oldman's worst performance.
5 "Favourite" and "best" are entirely different things.

Most movies are good and people tend to exaggerate their likes or dislikes to make their opinions seem more valid.

Endgame is the most embarrassing summer blockbuster of all time.

Endgame is the most embarrassing summer blockbuster of all time. Is it considered a summer blockbuster? It’s released in April. Wasn’t sure if it was too early. |

An American Werewolf in London is the worst movie I have ever seen.

John Travolta's performance in Saturday Night fever is one of the best of the 70s A fine performance in a fine film. The film got labelled a disco-fad movie but it's actually a harsh look at that life. And Travolta's performance carries that message quite well. |

Other than the dated music and clothes, its a very good movie.

Both are more "Star Trek" than any of the Chris Pine Star Trek films. I agree. The green horses in Star Trek 5 fit into old Star Trek. I wonder if the cat woman stripper was a nod to the animated series? Too bad they got cheaped out by the end because a giant rock creature (as planned) also would have been very Star Trek.

I think Ghostbusters (1984) is a good horror comedy, but nothing more or less. Yet so many people love this film, adore it, worship it, treat it like it's one of the greatest films of all-time and that it should be studied at USC film school, etc. It's fun and entertaining, but I've never been blown away by it like so many people.
And I'm someone who likes Ghostbusters (2016). The 1989 sequel film is decent fun although it suffers from "sequelitis". I have no interest in Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Obvious "damage control" film for the 2016 film and I know it's going to heavily cater to the 1984 film fan crowd.

Didn't think much of what I saw of the 2016 film, wouldn't say "terrible" though. |

Ghostbusters (1984) is a good movie and it has many quotable lines that people will remember forever. 
I'm with you that it shouldn't be worshiped. Remembering the cute lines is good enough.

Most movies based on history are bad, because they are generally filled with historical inaccuracies. A movie based on real history should at least be 90% accurate.

Films based on actual events or existing IPs don't need to be anywhere near historically accurate or faithful to the source material Which is the unpopular/controversial opinion? |
