City of God was overrated trash.
It was merely violence for the sake of violence.
I can't understand AT ALL why this movie gets all this praise as if it's some new avant garde film for the new century.

It's by far, BY FAR the most overrated thing I've ever seen.

And since City of God was a brazilian movie, I'll just throw this out there:

Wagner Moura (a brazilian actor) has easily 5 or 6 movies alone that are better than City of God.
Edit - if you want to go back like 70 years or something, Black Orpheus was also a great brazilian movie.

Here are somet that might be controversial, idk...

The new Matrix was an alright action movie, it's just movie plotholes are judged differently depending on which company/studio/etc. you represent.

Tomatometer is a silly way to measure a movie, it awards conformism and punishes character.

Eternals was among the better MCU movies with a unique look and feel to the series, an "evil" side you can empathize or even fully agree with and interesting ethical dilemmas as far as an MCU movie can explore them... The ending felt dumb though.

Movie critics who write down "too dark in mood" "too violent" and etc. as a supposed legit criticism of a movie should be excluded from any review aggregator and just shouldn't write about movies professionally.

Captain Marvel was just your bread and butter MCU movie it only got the hate it got because many ppl got in their feelings too much over what the main actress said in interviews and whatnot.

I understand why the industry won't work with Kevin Spacey anymore and I fully agree with that but what has come out about him doesn't bother me at the least when watching Usual Suspect, American Beauty, Seventh, etc... it's literally them getting into the skin of different characters I can give a fukk if he was a POS all the while.

Knives Out was a solid Agatha Christie-like crime movie, but don't get the cries about Oscars, it was the level of a better Poirot episode.

The Star Wars prequel trilogy was better than the sequel trilogy. Often cringe execution and some goofy looking early 2000s CGI but a lot more memorable scenes, more memorable characters, and even with the logical hiccups a better constructed, better thought out story that had a real arc unlike the sequel trilogy that didn't know what to do with itself even after the second piece (different directors didn't help either).

Age restriction should be a lot more liberal as far as nudity and cursing goes in movies, former doesn't have any harmful effect to children (mind you I'm not thinking of hardcore porn here) and latter doesn't change anything on how a person will turn out in life either. The censoring of both is without solid scientific backing, it's rather the moral panic of a group of over-enthusiast zealots who like to promote their bigoted worldview by justifying it as the "protection of children".

Show movie characters smoking cigarettes if it fits their character regardless of what movie we are talking about. Assume as much agency about people that they can make individual decisions on wether they will start to smoke or not, don't use the censoring of showing cigarette usage as a tool in the witch hunt against tobacco.

Cinema movies are not as good as some folks like to say they are

And some folks love to CAP with it, act like they smarter or come off like they a higher class or better than other folks….. when most cases it’s much further from the truth :mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:

they've eased a lot for the latter...a movie like accepted would have probably been "R" in the 80's and all it really has is shyt/bytch and 1 fukk

the former is still funny, especially when it comes to women. they can show dikks all day :dame:

but the minute it's a p*ssy it can be an NC/X film
