I always thought of it as a documentary.

I HATE how Freddie was portrayed. I feel he was done a complete injustice, regardless of the storyline. I hate how they made him seem so stuck up and pretentious, and the way he reacted to the media and his family was so out of character. I have watched nearly all the Queen and Freddie Mercury documentaries, and he was not like that at all. In real life, he was sweet and shy. Plus, those teeth were absolutely ridiculous, like a parody on SNL. He was extremely self-conscious of his teeth and didn't flash them all over the place. Also, when they showed him writing new songs, it was just ugh. Like he really sat at a piano and just glorified in how amazing he is for what he just created. He did not do that. If they stayed true to Freddie's real life story, it would have been so much better. So much of his life was altered or left out and it would have been such a good movie if they focused on everything they glossed over or changed, it would have been a much better movie and represented him in a much better light. I hope they do a true to life biopic on freddie that isn't such a travesty. I love you dearly, Freddie. Wish I could have seen you once in person. Queen opened their tour recently near me, and I thought about it, but just can't bring myself to watch a Queen concert without Freddie in it.

Anyone watching movies and asking for scientific reality deserves to be disappointed. People need to relax and just be entertained

Always thought of it as an overly-long, boring take on the "white savior" trope.

dont know if anyone noticed but this is just Pocahontas with aliens

It was a great use of 3D and CGI but other than that, the film/story were just meh

It was massively overrated. It looked pretty, but that was it. Terrible story that was a complete copy of better movies that came before. It was so repetitive it wasn't even particularly fun to watch.

As a movie it's just Dances with Wolves/Pocahontas, in space. But I'm still more impressed by the world-building and effects.

I watched it once in the theater when it first came out. I have no desire to see it again or to watch the second one.

I loved both 1 & 2 but most people don't seem to want to admit it. Best box office of all time. And it couldn't be too hated since Avatar 2 was the third best box office of all time. James Cameron takes a lot of flak and dismissal but he's got three of the top four box office smashes of all time.

Avatar could have just been called Blue Pocahontas because that's all it was.

Love the film, and I love the sequel, which was my second-favorite film of 2022. Still regret not seeing this one in theaters.

I found the 3d sub par, (Building posts don't suddenly appear in your face unexpect3edly when you trun around in real life!), and the relationship between the 'hero' and the young, naive, girl was at best deceptive on his part, (He took her virginity thinking he was never coming back and then lied about being a god-blessed hero, after just realising you could just jump on the big flying birds things.) He got lucky when things turned out OK but he was a real piece of c**p and and i can't watch the sequel because of this scumbag.

I remember watching it at the cinema when it came out. Got really baked first, and even then found it quite tedious.

It's visually amazing but the story is just a remake of Dances with wolves

I'm pretty sure plenty of people pointed out it's generic, basic, done to death story at the time but still really enjoyed the spectacle of it.

I never saw the first one until the the sequel came out, and I think it is overrated. It's not bad, but it isn't as great as people proclaim.

The Red Wedding and The Battle of the Bastards will live in my memory as the best ever. Really alot of awesome moments. I don't hate GoT, I just hate how they caved to pressure and put costs over creativity at the final season and ruined it.

he wrote the screenplay himself? 😶

She did her best

I never liked the Tuohys and I only saw them as portrayed in that movie. They remind me of the Chrisleys. Just so over-the-top southern and fake and all about money and image. I recently watched them in real life on the tv specials covering their fraud. I knew they rubbed me the wrong way for a reason, and that was the fictional portrayal.

Because they know it is racist is the reason why they haven't released it in the US. It has been available in other countries. [ In 2017, after being inaugurated as a Disney Legend, Whoopi Goldberg expressed a desire for Song of the South to be re-released publicly to American audiences and stated, "I'm trying to find a way to get people to start having conversations about bringing Song of the South back, so we can talk about what it was and where it came from and why it came out".] wiki....And the books are still available. Racism is racism and history is history, the past can't be changed. Only the future.

That movie was so...awkward and hard to watch. And that was with my husband. I can't imagine watching it with my parents or something. So weird. Kevin Spacey creeps me out so much.

This comment, like the movie, fully ignores Canada's role in orchestrating and executing the rescue. I hate American revisionist history.

We expected (and rightly so) a progression in the story but, in reality, Disney just reshot A New Hope.

What have I missed?

The female astronaut acted like she was an intern who had had two months training. She should have been confident, level-headed, and extremely knowledgeable and skilled. Instead she came off like a shrinking violet, more like showing, "Hey, this is a ditzy, silly female would barely manage to handle this situation." Very bad writing and directing when it came to her character. (I thought Bullock acted well with what she was given.) Also, this is NOT the type of movie that should get a pass for bad science. And it did have bad science in many ways.

I adored that movie as a child and now can never watch it again because that's all I see. As I got older, I would worry if the kitten hurt his eyes when he popped out of a sooty chimney, or was terrified when they filmed the river scene. You can tell it's a hot tub not a river, but that is still a real kitten nearly drowning in the rapids. Milo is terrified in that box. They could have just had meowing sounds coming from it and not actually put a real kitten downriver in a cardboard box.

With the exception of "better than ESB", the sentiment and comments in that first paragraph still ring true for me. I think it's a brilliant film, I thought Luke was given a wonderful ending (before the "Mark Hamill hated it" people come in, he never expressed "hate", and he has walked back those comments). With all the other criticisms in this post, to me it felt like trimming the fat, and what we had at the end of that film was a completely fresh slate, which we had never had before in Star Wars. It was all so promising, and then it was all brought crashing down in the next film: "THE DEAD SPEAK!..."

Total s**t movie that should have been panned and never have been in the running for—-and winning, ffs!—-the Oscar! Should’ve won a Razzie.

The butter scene...

Thought it was stupid when I first heard about it, so I never wasted my time watching it. Most of what is being produced these days is s**t. It might be popular now, but that doesn’t mean it will become a classic. It means it will most likely age like milk.

I haven't heard anything about that and neither has Google, apparently (although I didn't dig too deep). The book A Million Little Pieces and its sequel My Friend Leonard were completely falsified by James Frey and anyone who bought a copy got their money back.

BS. This movie is still highly revered across multiple generations.

I loved this movie when it came, seeing women partly my age (I didn't age as fast as they did with time jumps after all :P) be so free with each other. I did think some sex scenes were over the top, but all in all, I left the movie feeling happy. Then came the reports of that f*****g director and I will be unable to ever watch it again. I still enjoy the graphic novel, though.

Good one. I always hated this movie and never understood why it was acclaimed.

It is sad that there is so much more this country should be doing for its veterans, but instead we need charity organizations to fill the gaps. What is truly sad is that this country still treats its vets a thousand times better than the majority of the rest of the world.

I initially thought of the 1915 film when I saw these words...which also fits this thread

It's funny how someone denigrates traffic for a later TV series (15 years later, no less) that was modeled on the movie

Loved this movie
