Recently on twitter.com, the official Twitter Movies account asked this of its followers:
Hit us with your most controversial movie opinion.
The moment I saw this thread, I immediately grabbed my popcorn and got to scrolling.
Here are some of the most incendiary responses:
1. On Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016):
@TwitterMovies Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition) is amazing and is misunderstood by many. It is the best CBM of all time and has the best cinematography, story, acting, and score of its genre. It’s truly a masterpiece. “People hate what they don’t understand”
2. On The Mummy (1999):
@TwitterMovies The Mummy 1999 is a masterclass of entertainment movie something that Hollywood has forgotten this last decade in that area
3. On No Country for Old Men (2007):
@TwitterMovies No Country for Old Men is 3 hours of boring crap and the Coen Brothers are the most overrated directors in Hollywood
4. On 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968):
@TwitterMovies 2001 A Space Odyssey is pretentious, too long and quite boring
5. On Love Actually (2003):

@TwitterMovies The Santa Clause is far superior to Elf
19. On Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019):
@TwitterMovies Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood was a very well made movie but shouldn’t be nominated for Best Original Screenplay because it was just one long sequence of events that didn’t actually matter

@TwitterMovies The new Star Wars trilogy (VII, VIII, IX) is better than the original Star Wars trilogy (IV, V, VI).
21. On Jennifer's Body (2009):
