Hi,
I know I get Spoonmanian in my ranting on that movie, but it honestly comes out of a place of love for the Star Wars story and hesitation and disappointment in what I think is ultimately a bad thing for the overall quality of Star Wars films as a whole in the launch of another interconnected cinematic universe. The Marvel films mostly re-set their characters and don't allow their directors room to be daring in order to service the interconnected universe the films inhabit, and I worry that Lucasfilm, also owned by Disney, will follow that blueprint. Mostly inoffensive movies with likable casts, but a whole lot of boring movies.
As for anything else that's unpopular, I'll say I like Gone Girl. I think Fincher made a thematically interesting, trashy film that's tense and engaging and fun. I love Zodiac and the Social Network but I'm not a Fincher die-hard. I like Se7en, don't like really anything else he's done (haven't seen his Alien or Girl With the Dragon Tattoo).
Thanks!
