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.

30 “I’m Sorry, What!?” Takes On Movies By People Who Missed The Point, As Shared Online 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.

30 “I’m Sorry, What!?” Takes On Movies By People Who Missed The Point, As Shared Online 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

30 “I’m Sorry, What!?” Takes On Movies By People Who Missed The Point, As Shared Online 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.

This is a pretty common opinion, especially with boomers. Too bad. Some of the best movies ever are animated. Not to mention that there is a lot of animation out there that is decidedly NOT for kids.

Even the great film critic Roger Ebert argued a computer game could NEVER be art, and repeated that point oft. Very near the end of his life he admitted it was possible one day it could be... Just the same as 100y before people argued photos could never be art as they just "captured exactly what was out there", push button, no brain/soul involved.

Dunno why you got downvote, so I brought you back up. There are definitely some animated shows/movies designed specifically for children, but some that can be appreciated by adults. A lot of Hayao Miyazaki's movies are a great example of this. However, it's fine to have a distinction of animation for children and older audiences, respectively.

Right there mixed in with the Superman and Spider-man. Why B&N even had that I don't know, much less why it was out where any kid could lay hands on it

Shows like Over The Garden Wall and The Infinity Train can be enjoyed by kids but are clearly for adults. Aside from the fact that people can enjoy whatever entertainment they want regardless of the intended audience.

My daughter introduced me to both of those shows. We just re-watched Over the Garden Wall last week. I was never really into animation, even as a kid. My daughter has always been the opposite in that regard and has made it her mission to introduce me to some pretty great stuff. I randomly get “Train to Nowhere” stuck in my head all the time. (She’s a senior in high school, so not a little kid).

Tell your kid to watch any Gundam series (which oftentimes deals with themes like PTSD, war crimes, child soldiers, political unrest, death, etc), Death Note, Berserk, Evangelion, Castlevania, or Cyberpunk Edgerunners, and tell me if animation is still for kids. Or, if we want to stick with Western cartoons, Helluva Boss, Family Guy, American Dad (though I'm not a fan), Harley Quinn, or South Park.

30 “I’m Sorry, What!?” Takes On Movies By People Who Missed The Point, As Shared Online 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.

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.

30 “I’m Sorry, What!?” Takes On Movies By People Who Missed The Point, As Shared Online 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.

Empire reviewer complaining about the first transformers movie:

> "it's nothing but a bunch of giant robots punching eachother".

I don't think it matters whether one thinks the movies are good or not, it can't be denied that the entire point of those movies (and all anyone ever wanted to see), is a bunch of giant robots punching eachother.

30 “I’m Sorry, What!?” Takes On Movies By People Who Missed The Point, As Shared Online I got two of them, both regarding *The Batman:*

1. "The Riddler just suddenly turned evil by flooding the city when he had only been reasonably killing corrupt people beforehand." Ignoring the fact that he forced a man to drive into a crowded church earlier, almost killing a boy, and that he also targeted Bruce Wayne out of nothing more than self-admitted jealousy, the problem with this take is that Riddler wasn't targeting people out of a sense of justice or righteousness. At his core, he's an angry manchild lashing out against everyone he perceived as having wronged him, regardless of how justified it was. It's the extreme side to vengeance, a path that Batman learns he has to avoid.
2. "Everything after Riddler’s arrest was unnecessary." The ***entire*** point of the movie was that Batman couldn't figure out why his crusade against crime so far wasn't actually making anything better. Even after the top crime boss in Gotham was eliminated, things didn't magically improve. It's only *during* the supposedly unnecessary final act when Batman realizes that he inspired people who worshipped his methods while completely misunderstanding the point ("I'm vengeance.") that he realizes that what's missing is that in addition to punishing the guilty, he also needs to start helping the innocent. Said finale also gives him the perfect opportunity to do the latter. Without the final act, the whole movie is meaningless. And honestly, the scene where Batman's helping people on the rooftop is in my opinion, one of the best scenes in cinema I've ever seen.

Spoilers for Mission Impossible: Fallout

One of my professors in college got me into Letterbox’d and one day years later I saw he’d logged a review for Mission Impossible Fallout with one star out of five. When I read it, the review only consisted of “I can’t believe they managed to disarm the bomb with only one second left!” And like, dude? What kind of a movie did you think this was? Like, you chose to watch a Hollywood spy action blockbuster movie. Did you think it wouldn’t be like that???

Nostalgia Critic's review of Pink Floyd's The Wall

It really is like the Room of movie reviews. Its very awe-inspiring just how wrong everything in the review is. Everything take he has on what the songs are trying to say is incorrect. And its funny because the album and movie are very tailor maid for themes, if you were teaching a history class on the cultural effects of WW2 in Great Britain, the album/movie has everything.

It mentions PTSD of the war, treating children like another cog in the wheel and the brutality of their schooling. All of these are part of the album, and every take he has is incorrect on the authors intent.

Its mindboggling that he cares so much about the movie/album to wanna make a review about it, but at the same time, cares so little as to do 0 research on what the songs might mean.

And I'm not even the biggest Pink Floyd fan, but even I know what they mean by cultural osmosis. At one point he connects modern American schooling, to the schooling in post WW2 Britain. Its ridiculous where I ask the questions like "You've been reviewing art for a living for over a decade and you don't know how brutal British school children had it after WW2? How is that even possible?"

My main takeaway from his review is that every opinion about what the music about is wrong. Adding to that is that the parody music he does is also terrible, the animation in the review is bad, EVERYTHING about it just makes me feel bad, for EVERYONE involved

"Once Were Warriors will go down in history as New Zealands greatest romantic comedy."

I mean, although it's said a lot, it's said in a kiwi hard-case manner which is deeply sarcastic and delivered absolutely dead pan so that it is largely impossible to tell if it's sincere.
