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.

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.

“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”

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.

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.

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.
