25 “I’m Sorry, What!?” Takes On Movies By People Who Missed The Point, As Shared Online
Article created by: Robertas Lisickis
While it is true that everyone is entitled to their opinion, it is also true that opinions are like [back]holes as everyone has one. None of this traverses into the realm of facts, though, as those are reserved for objective statements. Still, both have an equal power to rile folks up, and both have equal force to wreak havoc if the statement is absolutely ludicrous.
Enter folks on AskReddit who share some of the most far-fetched, weirdest, dumbest or just flat-out what? takes about movies they’ve ever heard said out loud in the wild. Scroll down to check out the best of the best opinions found in the now-viral Reddit thread.

I once saw someone comment they could not get into Ghostbusters because the CGI was so terrible.
The CGI
In Ghostbusters
That was made in 1984
Jason Lane 8 months ago (edited)
Aside from the fact that kids today call all SFX "CGI", there was CGI in Futureworld, the Westworld sequel, which was released in 1976. So, scoffing that someone would think there was CGI in a1984 film is just wrong.

Doesn't quite fit this thread, but, after leaving Avatar 3D in 2009, we overheard someone say "why was it so blurry", for them to be asked "didn't you wear the glasses"? Dude sat through 3 hours of blurred film lol

I knew a woman who saw Schindler's List and said, "It was just a sad movie about people in jail. Why would they even have kids in jail?"
Legitimately, that was her take. Her mother asked her if she liked it and she said, "It was okay. It was really long and old."
This girl was around 24-25 years old at the time.

In an open class discussion about what movies we thought were best and worst a guy in my film studies class said he thought marvel movies were best because they have the biggest budgets, most effects, biggest stars, make the most money, etc and he thought Monty python movies were the worst because they were cheesy and not funny. He specifically cited the coconut horses as being stupid. I try to be open minded and not judgmental about people anyone and especially those who share my passions but I just couldn’t ignore how god awful of a take that was. He’s a studio execs favorite demographic I imagine

Every single critic in 1997 missed that Starship Troopers was satire. I think our timeline got mixed up with some Bizarro World timeline for a couple months.

Years ago, some Christian movie about the nativity story had just come out. I was listening to the radio and one guy complained about the movie being too predictable.

I went with my best friend in high school to see “Backdraft”. It was a populat movie about firefighters and she was really into whatever Baldwin brother was in that movie. It was a pretty good movie. Some major plot holes and unrealism set aside by good acting and great sets/special effects. I was especially surprised by a small role by Donald Surherland who did an amazing job with just a fee minutes.
Came out saying I was pleasently surprised and glad she dragged me along to go see it. She was silent. I asked what was wrong and she said she didn’t like it. Her reason?
“There was too much fire.”
In a movie about firefighters.

My co worker says she won't watch Star Wars due to the opening text scrolls. Says if she has to read to know the back story it's a bad movie

A coworker went to watch Memoirs Of A Geisha thinking that Geishas were some sort of Ninja women. He had some very harsh criticism of the movie afterwards.

It's a heartwarming story, but it's just not believable. Which is why I give E.T one and a half stars. - Perd Hapley

Someone on here criticized Jaws for not explaining in detail why Brody was afraid of water.
#15
A lot of antipathy towards The Godfather from younger whippersnappers these days, but my brother's take has to be the worst I've heard. He couldn't get through the first half-hour because:
* Nobody had been shot yet
* There's too much talking
* Marlon Brando scratches his face in an odd way
#17
Ben Shapiro's take on Barbie.
He contradicts himself several times, claims there is no plot, then proceeds to explain the plot (according to him lol), claims all jokes are in the first few minutes, then shows many many jokes.
Me and my friend heard he did a take on it, we never watch him, but his stupidity was so laughable that we watched the full 45 min.

Some years back I read someone say Mad Max couldn’t be a feminist movie because the brides were too hot

So if you watched the trailers for Arrival [2016] then it wouldn't be unreasonable per se that you went into the movie expecting it to be an Independence Day style invasion movie since it is really particular about including like every single dramatic scene in the movie that might make it seem that way.
As a result plenty of people went to watch it and were kind of shocked that it wasn't really that, it was more about the nature of language and perception and it gets into some way more heady shenanigans as well.
I will never forget, end of the movie in the cinema, everyone standing up and kind of shell shocked by what they had just seen and this group of older ladies in the row ahead of us whinging very loudly about the film.
'It was so boring!' 'It didn't make any sense. Do they think we are stupid or something?'
Hmm, well, indeed.

Guy at the office said Batman Begins was stupid because "in the end he learns about the Joker's existence and in the other Batman movie, he finds out the Joker is the one who [ends] his parents, so the stories don't match. Also, the guy who kills his parents in BB is not even the Joker, like in the other movie" and in conclusion, Batman Begins was based on big plot mistakes. I tried to explain to him that the movies are from different directors and from different eras/universes and that what happened in the 1989 one doesn't have anything to do with BB. He laughed, called me a nerd and doubled down on his opinion.

Logan Paul is a goldmine but Armand white is the undefeated GOAT of dumb reviews
“none of these digital-cartoon characters reflect human experience; it’s essentially a bored game that only the brainwashed will buy into. Besides, Transformers 2 already explored the same plot to greater thrill and opulence"
-Armand white talking about Toy Story 3

"That was the most boringest movie ever." - some teenage girls about *Jurassic Park* according to RedLetterMedia

That “Dune” is a Chosen One cliche fest with some uncomfy imperialist vibes…which is exactly what I thought, until my sister, who had actually read the books, explained to me that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be set up in order to subvert the whole thing. Which I now think is brilliant.
