A person's opinion of a film is supported by things that they see, hear, or otherwise experience in that particular movie.
For example, the opinion "Character A's character development was good because of X, Y, Z" is supported by events X, Y, Z that objectively happened in the film. The impact and importance of those events is entirely subjective, but the foundation of a person's opinion on a particular piece of art is often built on facts. I think that is the reason for OP's qualifying statement.

Yep. Sunrise isn't objectively great. Just subjectively great IMO.

I first started using the film boards on imdb back around 2000, which was over 20 years ago. The same type of people were posting the same kind of "hey Citizen Kane is wayyyy overrated" posts, which were met with the same type of reactionary responses. This will always happen, if you are going to be bold enough to go against the grain, then you have to be bold enough to deflect any harsh comments and keep it moving.

One I see a lot is “(Movie) is a masterclass in (editing/writing/acting)”

12 Angry Men is the only classic movie that they've ever seen.

Seeing Gwenpool on screen in the same style sounds great

“Oh you thought a recent movie was good? You don’t know movies at all the best movie of all time is actually a silent film black and white from Romania in 1937 that only 6 people have seen”

It could literally be a massive box office success that had a huge cultural impact and someone will call it underrated because they haven’t seen someone make a reddit post about it in the last week.

People are suggesting you talk to your agent. Totally fine if you don't have one! Here's what you say:
Tranquil45, independent, earth.
Good luck!

Reply to comment by Agamemnon420XD in Hollywood’s Covid Protocols Get Expiration Date; Vaccine Mandate Will End by LordHyperBreath
The 1918 flu no longer exists. You can tell by the fact that tens of millions of 20-30 year olds are not dying every year.
Covid still exists, you can tell because 200k are still dying every year, covid is still the third greatest cause of death in the US, just below heart disease and cancer, and because people are still being crippled by the hundreds of thousands due to long covid. Most of all of these young people.
Why so many? Because they are not being careful enough - not wearing masks, not keeping distance, not getting vaccinated, or even all three. Because government and industry has decided it is too expensive to deal with covid. Because they need the serfs and peons - that's you - back at your jobs and recreation so that profit is restored to the wealthy. Globally, this is happening - not just in the US.
And this is exactly what happened in 1917. And 1915, too.
And, like I said before, 1918 happened.
Because Nature doesn't give two shits about your precious, precious freedom. All Nature cares about is reproduction. Viral reproduction.

You're contradicting yourself. How can my opinion be objectively wrong but a movie cant be objectively bad? What if the camera is out of focus or the actors mumble their lines?

Reply to comment by StreetMysticCosmic in Which movie has better 2 hour non-stop violence? John Wick 4 or Mad Max: Fury road? by MinuteSolid8821
Yeah, Fury road has the edge in coolness of the action. You are right, but dont forget about the Japan scene. It was so long for just the beginning of a movie. It could very well replace a ending climax of any other action movie. Plus the fight scene at the gypsies was nonstop intense action for 6 minutes. Overall, it seemed to me like 70 or 65 percent of movie, if you include epilogue at the top of those stairs, was just cool violence.

Maybe something like Assault on Precinct 13 or The Negotiator though that's got cop drama more than horror

Really enjoyed it as well. The "Argo-ending" at the airport was a bit much but overall a very solid movie, and Egerton was excellent.

I grew up 25 miles east of Pawhuska and never heard of them until the early 80s when an Osage friend of mine told me about it. He swore there were over 160 Osage murdered. Went all thru school never hearing about it.

Reply to comment by SuperNntendoChlmers in Likable characters who are poorly used in franchises by mranimal2
Honestly, the whole toy gang was sidelined in that film. That’s why I’m impressed Toy Story 3 had something for each character to do.
Also, the fact that they are making a fifth Toy Story film depresses me. Why can’t they leave well enough alone?

Matrix Ressurections. Didn't love it the first go round, but thought I had to be missing stuff. Rewatch just cemented I hated it.

I didn't like Sunrise very much. I'm sure I misread the film a little bit, but the man sure doesn't let up his abuse of the women, even while considering the time it was made.
Not factually great

Reply to comment by gee_gra in What movie did you wish you *hadn't* rewatched? by gee_gra
I'm not sure why I'm getting down voted either when it has the lowest cinemascore in history haha. At a B plus which is low for a star wars film. Loved force Awakens and last jedi. Some of my favorites but while rise of skywalker had some good moments it kind of destroys the rest of the Saga imo and calling it rise of skywalker when the last one dies (Ben Solo) killed the franchise for me. He was the best character and poor thinking ahead for the franchise.

They want to make art and sell art. That's the risk of selling art.
