Controversial opinions about anything
Since the Bond films thread has so many posts, I wondered what controversial opinions us Bond fans had about, well, anything else.
I'll start: I enjoyed Assassin's Creed 3 and I can't stand Adele (all her songs sound the same to me).

Considering the way most, if not all, discussions of them have gone, it would probably be wise to steer clear of them in a thread devoted to controversial opinions.
Good idea actually. I'd like this thread to last a while and it seems like every time any of the things you mention get bought up a massive argument breaks out and the thread ends up closed.
Neil Peart isn't the best drummer of all time. He's great, he's ONE OF the best, but there are many more who I would rank above him. In a similar vein, Ringo is, behind only John Bonham himself, the best drummer ever.
The Godfather, Part III is a bad Godfather film. It is a great film in its' own right.
I don't think The Beatles are the best thing ever, though I do think Rubber Soul, Revolver and Abbey Road are all top-class works of music; it's Ringo himself and his drum parts that I hold especially in such regard.
And that's really funny. "Un-American" for not liking The Beatles. Guess I must me un-Canadian for not liking tea or something. That's the funniest thing I've read all week.
Not sure about Bonham being the best drummer ever. I don't mind Led Zeppelin but I think my favourite drummer is either Ringo or Dave Grohl.
Also agree on The Godfather 3. Not a bad film by any means but a pretty disappointing conclusion to the trilogy.
This is a controversial opinions thread, not a blasphemous opinions thread ;). In all seriousness, it's pretty funny that they called you un-American for it.
On a similar note, I think "Imagine" is wildly overrated, as are "Kashmir," "American Pie," and "Don't Stop Believin'".
@thelivingroyale, *shrugs shoulders* what can you do? I just don't care for them in the slightest. Same with U2, though I think that band is worse than The Beatles. I can stand some of The Beatles work, and some of it is relatively good, but U2? Ugh. Disgusting. I think I can also comfortably say that I hate roughly 99.99% of all country and rap music of today.
Would "Kubrick is the best director of all time" be controversial at least on here? I never really see his name get dropped. How about the same statement replacing Kubrick with Kurosawa?
I agree on the majority of modern rap, but there are a lot of classics if you go back to the '80s and '90s. I had never been a fan of hip-hop until I discovered that stuff.
@thelivingroyale, 'Vertigo' is such a bad song, I remember that horrendously long string of time when it appeared to be played on repeat on the radio. It was terrible.
@Soundofthesinners, I'm talking about modern country and rap. I love rap of the 80's/90's and I really do enjoy some old country from way back when. Today, though? I cannot stand either. Rap is just a bunch of words thrown in that might rhyme, they might not, that don't really make sense, with some generic beat thrown in. As for country, it's the same thing in every song, I feel: boots, mud, tractors, a girl, a beer, something. I really don't feel like that's a stereotype or anything, either, as everytime I hear a country song, something to that extent is involved. Compliments of living in WV for a lengthy period of my life.
I enjoy Eminem and Kanye West's music. Kanye is a head case (as is Eminem to an extent), but he makes good music.
What exactly don't you like about it? I think it's a catchy, great, exciting rock song, full of energy and melody.
@Soundofthesinners Not a big fan of Kanye West. Don't think he's that good a rapper and he's an egotistical attention seeking prick in real life which really puts me off.
I also think this (at around 1:15) is the greatest piece of editing in the history of film:
"How to Disappear Completely" by Radiohead is the greatest song ever put to tape.
Here's a really random opinion - though I won't say it's controversial, but we'll see - but the worst commercial I've ever seen in my life is the new Honda commercials with Michael Bolton singing. Why him? Such a terrible idea. On the note of advertisements, I'm also sick of the Geiko commercials.
I agree, I couldn't stand the film and was surprised that it won Best Picture.
@doubleoego, neither do I.
Not sure how I feel about Master of Puppets, but yes to the other two; London Calling especially which I consider to be the best punk rock album ever.
The most recent being the cancellation of Ripper Street! :-q
I don't know that London Calling has much competition. Never Mind the Bollocks, I suppose, and probably something by the Ramones, but it's head and shoulders above just about everything else.
If you don't mind my saying, I think it's kind of funny you like Springsteen and not Dylan, since he was essentially doing a Dylan impersonation on his first few albums (with some other guys, mostly Van Morrison, mixed in).
Guilty. I think reality tv is funny. It's not good, but I find it amusing (though i don't watch duck dynasty)
I don't watch Duck Dynasty, but my cousins do and we watched an episode with them once. It's not nearly as bad as most reality shows, since they're not vapid, morally abhorrent morons.
