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.

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.

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.

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.

When the original 1987 *Robocop* was released, our local paper had a movie critic I had not read before, Laurie Horn, review it. She completely missed the movie’s outrageous satire and gave the film zero stars.
Among the things she noted was that the film was “very violent” and that the target audience was “immature boys”. That “the rest of the human race will want to stay far away from this witless and cynically exploitive film”. “If there was satire in the concept, (director) Verhoeven’s bloodthirstiness destroys it”.
She went on to write, after describing the scene where Robocop shoots a would be r****t through a woman’s dress (and hits his… uh… *privates*): “Humor like this is fit only for the likes of Klaus Barbie and Rudolf Hess”.
My guess is she didn’t like it.

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"
