25 of the Most Controversial Movie Hot Takes

1-25

Nazarii Verbitskiy Nazarii Verbitskiy
TV Shows & Movies - March 13th 2025, 09:04 GMT+1
Escape from New York

25. People should watch more stuff from 70s and 80s

People should watch more movies from the 70s and 80s, especially Woody Allen's work from that time. His films are funny, clever, beautifully shot, and offer a genuine look at adult relationships that still feels fresh today. | © Embassy Pictures Corporation

Jenny forrest

24. Jenny was the most noble character in Forrest Gump

Jenny is the most noble character in Forrest Gump because she shows us our raw humanity and our struggles to save ourselves and help those around us. Her moments of vulnerability remind us that our deepest regrets often come from times when we fall short. | © Paramount Pictures

Channing Tatum

23. Actors like Channing Tatum really shouldn’t be doing movies

Actors like Channing Tatum often seem out of place in movies, with performances that just don't hit the mark. It makes you wonder if he belongs in the film world at all. | © Sony Pictures Releasing

Ghostbusters

22. Ghostbusters is exactly as good as Ghostbusters 2

Ghostbusters is just as good as Ghostbusters 2, they're both pretty average films. I think those who picked the reboot with its kiddie vibe and less humor over the decent sequel without the original cast really missed the point. | © Columbia Pictures

Elf

21. The only good Will Ferrell movie is Elf

Elf is the only Will Ferrell movie that really stands out. All his other films just don't hit the same sweet spot in humor and heart. | © New Line Cinema

The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring

20. The Lord of the Rings is the most overrated trilogy

The Lord of the Rings feels totally overrated. The hobbits drag down the films with boring and annoying moments, so I only stick around for the parts with Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and Gandalf. | © New Line Cinema

Raging Bull

19. Raging Bull has no business being on any top movies lists

Raging Bull is a well-made biopic with strong acting, directing, and visuals. However, Jake La Motta's unlikeable, one-dimensional character makes it hard to enjoy, and I can’t rate it above a 7. | © United Artists

No Time to Die

18. The last James Bond movies have ruined the franchise

The latest Bond films have taken the franchise in a wrong direction, turning a beloved spy into a more personal, lone-wolf character. Instead of letting a memorable villain steal the spotlight, these movies focus too much on Bond's agenda, straying far from the classic. | © MGM

Cropped Fight Club

17. Fight Club is overrated and more suitable for teenagers

Fight Club is overrated, and many teens are missing its deeper meaning while just trying to look cool. Even though some fans idolize Tyler Durden, the movie still delivers a solid commentary on toxic masculinity and male isolation. | © 20th Century Studios

Blade runner 20249

16. Blade Runner is terribly boring

For people who like subtle and understated narratives, Blade Runner is boring. However, for those who appreciate a film that reveals layers of meaning through details, it becomes a rich and evolving experience. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Batman Robin

15. Batman & Robin is top-tier Batman movie

Batman & Robin is a top-tier Batman movie that stands on its own merits. I believe it's heavily criticized because it shifts away from Burton's darker vision, rather than being inherently bad. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

X Men

14. X-Men should not be the part of MCU

It was great to see Marvel taking risks with films outside the MCU, offering fresh stories that weren't bound by a shared universe. Without these, movies like Deadpool and Logan might never have come to life. | © Marvel Studios

The Matrix Resurrections

13. The Matrix Resurrections is an entertaining movie

Aside from the shot fight scenes, The Matrix Resurrections is a quality movie that refreshes the franchise with smart storytelling. It wraps up the trilogy with a fitting epilogue, offering a clever take on modern society and a welcome break from typical legacy sequels. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Hulk

12. The original Hulk should get more recognition

The original Hulk is a standout moment when Marvel truly nailed a character, delivering raw energy and genuine emotion. This classic deserves more recognition for its bold storytelling and lasting impact on the superhero genre. | © Marvel Studios

Star Wars prequels

11. Star Wars prequels are superior to the beloved originals

The Star Wars prequels offer a fresher take with stronger stories, characters, and music that often outshine the originals. Their use of modern CGI and greenscreen technology creates dynamic battle scenes and environments, making these films feel more solid. | © 20th Century Studios

Bitconned

10. 90% of all documentaries are artless and disposable

Most documentaries often feel flat and disposable, relying on weak evidence and the same recycled theories. Instead of sparking fresh insights, they tend to lead nowhere, leaving viewers with little to remember. | © Netflix

Percy Jackson

9. Percy Jackson had a lot of potential

The Percy Jackson movie had the makings of a blockbuster franchise like Harry Potter, but it didn't quite hit the mark. If Riordan had more control over the film, it might have fully unlocked its epic potential. | © 20th Century Studios

Friday the 13th

8. Friday the 13th is the worst popular horror movie series

Friday the 13th may be counted among the three biggest horror franchises, but its repetitive approach makes it feel like the weakest from the bunch. Unlike the atmospheric suspense of Halloween or the creative flair of Nightmare on Elm Street, this series comes off as a bland cash grab that never evolves. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Psycho goreman msn

7. Psycho Goreman suffers from its lead character

Psycho Goreman feels weighed down by its lead character who takes up too much of the spotlight. This focus on one-dimensional role leaves the rest of the movie feeling unbalanced and underdeveloped. | © RLJ Entertainment

Cropped superman

6. Modern superhero movies are for children

Modern superhero movies are aimed mostly at kids, often missing the depth and character development that adult audiences need. Instead of offering thoughtful storytelling and introspection, these films bombard us with nonstop action that leaves little room for meaningful story. | © Marvel Studios

Halloween

5. Halloween should never have been a franchise

Halloween should have stayed a one-off classic instead of turning into a sprawling franchise. The original 1978 film had all the right chills, and the sequels only diluted its unique charm. | © Trancas International Films

Cropped The Brutalist

4. Most movies released today are way too long

Movies seem to stretch out longer than needed, loaded with too much world building and endless exposition. I wish films could wrap up their story in 90 minutes or so, leaving us with a satisfying ride instead of a marathon. | © A24

Die Hard

3. The term "Christmas movie" is dead

Calling something a Christmas movie has lost its meaning since films like Die Hard break all the traditional rules. We might need a fresh term to capture the wide range of holiday-themed films without boxing them into one simple category. | © 20th Century Studios

Tom Hanks

2. Most Tom Hanks movies are syrupy sentimentalism

Tom Hanks movies often lean into overly sweet, sentimental themes, with him playing the dependable, everyman role in nearly every film. While his best work shines, many of his films feel like a rehash of the same syrupy formula that gets old fast. | © Paramount Pictures

Avengers Endgame

1. Marvel always uses the same stuff in the same format

Marvel is stuck on the same tired formula, rehashing CGI action, weak jokes, and predictable dialogue in every film. It feels like they're stuck on repeat, relying on flashy effects and recycled lines instead of fresh ideas to captivate the audience. | © Marvel Studios
