Seeing as I often feel like the only person who thinks The Life Aquatic is fantastic, I wouldn't say disliking it is an unpopular opinion.

I saw it and loved it.

Life Aquatic... Hmm, I love what Criterion does and most of the films they choose to give the royal treatment, but they definitely got it wrong when they chose to work on Life Aquatic. So overrated!

Is the Life Aquatic really overrated? It's might be my least favorite Wes Anderson film but I thought that was the general feeling most had about it. It's MetaCritic score is a 62, which is just about average. I guess the IMDB score is a bit higher at 7.2 but that's not too much higher than it should be rated.

You may right about that. However, a lot of people I know really like that film. Besides, cinecasting Criterion made a special edition about it. 9 times out of 10 that's a good sign. Life Aquatic was the other 1.

Criterion has a handful of questionable choices, but the Life Aquatic is far from the worst film they've released. Armageddon?

Criterion worked on Armageddon? You must be shi**** me.

-James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.

i don't think Aquatic is fantastic, but it is really good. All of Anderson's films are really good to great.
