So, I know that according to basically everybody and every list of greatest films of all time that 'The Godfather' is a cinematic masterpiece. So last night we sat down to watch it... and promptly gave up about 1hr 45 mins into the film because it was just boring.

I know it's an incredibly unpopular opinion and I was not looking for a non thinker action film etc but films like 'casino' and 'Goodfellas' are just way better!

Also, The Smiths are shit, The Clash are overrated and Oasis were always a million times better than Blur. Oh and Summer in this country is horrid and humid - I prefer the cold.

So, what unpopular opinions do you guys hold that are generally against the grain?

Every "Zelda" game I have tried to play has been riotously rubbish and I can't understand how people are so enamoured of them.

Star Wars is boring, too much action and not enough plot/character building.
They'll never get a sequel out of it.

Terry Pratchett was a mediocre author in a pitiable proto-hipster hat.

I'll agree with the Godfather and the Smiths being wank.

Kings of Leon, Overrated wank too. Seems everyone loves them, I think they are shiter than a shite thing dipped in shite.

Thank fuck someone else noticed, I thought I was the only one. Prattshit was like some idiot who had read a couple of Kurt Vonnegut novels and listened to Hitchhikers Guide on the radio and then thought he would have a go. Someone should have broken his fingers the moment he learned to write.

Leaving a pile of damp, steaming foul-smelling bike textiles next to your desk is acceptable office practice. I know for a fact several people do not share this opinion.

That is your problem right there. You expected the Godfather to be just like the ''modern'' Mafia films you liked. Godfather is from 1972, the book is even older. If they did the adaptation of the book today, it would be just as flashy and full of violence just like those Mob films you liked. Thumbs Up

1) Police/army/air force/fire brigade/ambulance personnel etc aren't all automatically heroes.

2) Being ill doesn't automatically mean that you're brave - unlucky, yes.

I'm really going to feel the hate for this one..... but Blade Runner was boring as fuck, it took 3 attempts to get to the end and thought "was that it? I can't see what all the fuss was about"

Also on that list: Any of the new Batman movies, Superman movies, Suicide Squad, Split, all the Star Wars movies that I've seen.... and so on and so on

James Cordon isn't funny any more. He was ok in Gavin and Stacey but has ultimately revealed himself as a shouty fat lad with no discernible talent.

I quite like Baroness Warsi and want to see more of her on television.

Most bike accidents are the rider's fault.
