Opinions will always vary, that’s a simple rule of life that isn’t ever going to change unless we all become overtaken by out-of-this-world pod people, which probably won’t happen in my lifetime. Varying opinions often play pivotal roles in the success or failure of feature films; one negative review can turn a potential viewer into a hesitant passer by. A single good review can spark a campaign of positivity that carries over into major dollar signs.
Regardless, it’s important to remember that one must make his or her own mind up as to what they do or don’t enjoy. And that’s the exact reasoning behind this list; to let you know, don’t put all your faith in a single opinion, unless it’s your own.
These five films received plenty of criticism from Hollywood insiders, and in truth, there isn’t much merit to a whole lot of that negativity.
#4 - The Runaways:
This flick received plenty of praise from critics, but for every one positive review, you’ll spot two negatives. Floria Sigismondi does a fair job of remaining true to the story of Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, but it’s both Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart’s performances that leave a lasting impression in my mind. Michael Shannon’s depiction of quirky (or insane, as some would say) producer Kim Fowley should not go unmentioned either, as his performance easily exceeds convincing. A fantastic soundtrack tops off what is actually an excellent, and highly underrated film. If any negative criticisms have left you feeling cautious of this picture, throw those notions out the window and give this one a try, it’s an extremely good piece of work.
