25 Controversial Opinions About Popular Movies That Honestly Need To Be Said Out Loud

The beginning of Up isn't that sad.

We recently asked the BuzzFeed Community to share their most unpopular opinions about popular movies. Here are the controversial results:

1. Harry Potter was the absolute worst character in the whole franchise.

Warner Bros. Pictures / Via giphy.com

He was grumpy and narcissistic. He constantly reminded people about how his parents and Sirius had died, but he forgot that Ron’s family was extremely poor, and that Hermione was basically doing everything for him, and that Draco had a crazy set of parents. I mean, really, Harry?

2. Andy straight up stole Emily's job in The Devil Wears Prada.

As much as I loved Miranda, I hated The Devil Wears Prada because I couldn’t stand Andy. She stole Emily’s job and didn’t even care about fashion!

3. Infinity War was boring and forgettable.

Marvel / Via giphy.com

The plot was only mildly interesting when my favorite characters like Spider-Man or the Guardians came on, but even then most of the jokes fell really flat or were just awkward. Thanos honestly felt too overpowered, and it took them over half of the movie to even get a real hit on him.

4. The beginning of Up isn't that sad.

Disney / Pixar / Via giphy.com

Ellie and Carl clearly had a long life together, and yeah, it’s sad that she died and that she couldn’t have kids, but it wasn’t sob-worthy. She had three minutes of screen time. Her death was sad because a human dying is sad, but I never understood people who sobbed and cried because of it.

5. Rose and Jack couldn't have both survived on the piece of wood in Titanic.

Paramount Pictures / Via loveviral.tumblr.com

There have been a bunch a pictures of people trying to prove that they could've both fit, but in reality that piece of wood couldn't have handled both of their weights.

6. Bridesmaids is so not funny, it's nearly unwatchable.

Universal Pictures / Via antisocialclimber.tumblr.com

I LOVE stupid comedies, especially stupid comedies with Melissa McCarthy, but Bridesmaids didn’t make me laugh. It just made me bored.

7. Cady was the real villain of Mean Girls.

Paramount Pictures / Via sonjackcarl.tumblr.com

Sure, Regina was no hero, but she was intended to be a typical high school mean girl who eventually grows out of that phase. Cady manipulated her and the Plastics throughout the whole movie.

8. Pocahontas is one of the worst Disney movies.

Disney / Via giphy.com

Romance plays a huge role in this movie, but not in a good way. It seems kinda forced.

—ellalovestxt

9. Allie and Noah's relationship in The Notebook is incredibly toxic.

New Line Cinema / Via romantickisses.tumblr.com

While it's cool that they ended up together and happy, it's quite unrealistic and probably not healthy for them, especially for Allie. He basically kissed her without respecting the fact that she was engaged. How is that wanting the best for someone???

—soumyasathe410

10. Claire and Bender's relationship is actually pretty problematic in The Breakfast Club.

Universal Pictures / Via kylokyber.tumblr.com

As much as I love The Breakfast Club, Bender and Claire's relationship REALLY doesn't hold up well after 30 years. I mean, he spends the entire movie sexually harassing her, makes her cry, and is implied to have groped her inappropriately at one point, yet they still get together by the end?!

—trinaq5

11. Jasmine was way too good for that lying deadbeat Aladdin.

Disney / Via giphy.com

12. The soundtrack is the only good part of The Greatest Showman.

20th Century Fox / Via rewritting-the-stars.tumblr.com

The rest of the movie is completely underwhelming.

—lissyh2

13. A Star Is Born was a major disappointment.

Warner Bros. Pictures / Via giphy.com

Nothing in the first 30 minutes got me interested. They didn’t introduce the characters at all, the lighting made the whole movie look like a toothpaste ad, and the music wasn’t even that good.

—alisap47f9583b0

14. Sleepless in Seattle was not romantic at all.

TriStar Pictures / Via amalgamahunter.tumblr.com

Sam and Annie never even speak to one another until the very end. Even the response to Annie's letter saying to meet at the Empire State Building was from the little kid who's basically catfishing her.

—annk491072b86

15. Jared Leto was actually great as the Joker in Suicide Squad.

Warner Bros. Pictures / Via giphy.com

It was a refreshing take on the character. I feel like everyone says Heath Ledger's was the best version, when really each version was perfect for the story they were written for.

—celestec45cf820b7

16. Pitch Perfect didn't deserve a sequel.

Universal Pictures / Via giphy.com

The first movie was good, but after a couple rewatches, it's not that special. The second one was so bad and not funny at all, and I just pretend the third one doesn't exist.

—monikap6

17. Black Panther didn't live up to expectations.

Marvel / Via marveladdicts.tumblr.com

I don't understand why they were battling their own people. That threw me off.

—henrytelina

18. Grease is too cringey to be enjoyable.

Paramount Pictures / Via aliciavikander.tumblr.com

I adore musicals. I despise Grease. The music is cringey, the characters are cringey, and half of the time the dancing is cringey.

—babymagenta

19. La La Land was bland.

Lionsgate / Via aliciavikander.tumblr.com

La La Land is super overrated and really nothing out of the ordinary. Its ending was good and the music is fine, but other than that, it’s pretty bland.

—linnf

20. Jake Ryan from Sixteen Candles is actually the worst.

Universal Pictures / Via tearthatcherryout.tumblr.com

At one point, Jake trades Ted his drunk girlfriend for Sam’s panties with zero regard for her safety. He later breaks up with his girlfriend and goes to pick up Sam (who he doesn’t even know) and take her from her SISTER’S WEDDING. Ugh. —theshelbyjo

21. Veronica and J.D. should never have gotten together in Heathers.

New World Pictures / Via makeshift-kid.tumblr.com

I seriously don't think they had a good relationship.

—scavengerstarflight

22. Thomas J. got what he had coming in My Girl.

Columbia Pictures / Via giphy.com

Don't kick a bees nest if you're allergic to bees.

—meted99

23. Cher and Josh from Clueless were not a good couple.

Paramount Pictures / Via giphy.com

Clueless is a great movie — don’t get me wrong — but with that being said, Cher and Josh are so icky as a couple. It makes it hard for me to watch.—ryenmdetoro

24. The Lord of the Rings films were actually better than the books.

New Line Cinema / Via allnerds.tumblr.com

The movies didn't have pages and PAGES of random information that we don't need.

—fifigale123

25. And finally, none of the couples are worth rooting for in Love Actually.
