Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

All this is wrong because it’s Total Recall, hands down
So my opinion of this is colored by nostalgia, but I tend to agree with the OP.
When I was very little I rented Conan shortly after seeing T2 and assuming anything with that guy in it would be good.
I sat at home and watched that movie in AWE. it was AWESOME. dude is poetic and he doesn't take no shit, and DARTH VADER is in it??? How had I never heard of this before?!
Few movies have captured that childlike wonder in me the way Conan the Barbarian did. LOTR got close, only because I'd been anticipating it for so long. But there's something about that movie you see as a child that just blows you away, that is at least in it's own right a decent movie. Conan isn't just good to a kid who probably shouldn't be watching it, it's genuinely a decent film. Total recall, while also good, just didn't light that spark in me.
I still watch them both every few years. Last action hero and Tango and Cash and demolition man too.
That's a weird way to spell True Lies.
edit: Sorry, skipped over that the post title already mentioned True Lies.
Nope, it's the one where he's a clone and flies that cool airplane/helicopter.
I don’t remember Danny Devito flying a chopper (Twins) /s
I actually loved the sci-fi in that one. The cloning of pets was pretty cool. Also the plot twist was pretty neat. I'll have to watch it again to see if it holds up.

I think Total Recall would have been better with a different actor. Fight me.
