Twitter loves to reward hot takes and also engagement tweets, meaning questions or prompts that allow a lot of people to share their thoughts. That’s why the account @TwitterMovies hit it out of the ballpark with their demand to hit them with “your most controversial move opinion.” Controversial? Opinion? MOVIES? You got it, baby.

Unfortunately, a lot of people just used the opportunity to rag on films they don’t like or think suck. While that kind of opinion will definitely start an Internet fight, it’s more interesting to read the takes about how films are created, who is rewarded for them, and what kind of changes could be made to film culture in general.
Below are some controversial movie opinions we don’t necessarily agree with, but seemed hot enough to share. Don’t get burned.

It wasn’t until the Internet discourse blew up that I was even aware that men were missing the point. All the guys I saw it with at the time understood it. It even has sexual tension between male characters. The author of the book is gay! This isn’t some bro shit. Argh! pic.twitter.com/I4jXp2St7F

d*sney buying so many different franchises may be the worst thing to ever happen to cinema in terms of representation. its a company created for children and they’ve shown that they believe strongly in “child censorship” bullshit so it will and had already affected new media. https://t.co/vpjHCUNSCa

There needs to be a union for VFX artists that fights for fair compensation, and stops major corporations from bankrupting the people who allow them to make hundreds of millions of dollars. https://t.co/1r2xxtMhID

What’s the big deal with Avatar? I’ve only ever seen it once & don’t remember any of it. Utterly forgettable movie.
