...apparently not available on Hulu nor Netflix, though.
Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 92% so far, with audience rating still pending.

"Formulaic emotion jerkers" is code for "his movies made me cry and I'm angry about it". Also, "pretentious"? I have serious doubts that this person has even seen much of Robin's work, I'm thinking he just picked a topic to get the most Reddit votes.

He's in the right sub.
I won't say I haven't been critical of RW back in his day. Not every movie he was in was pure gold or anything.
Things like: the Centennial Man was a bad adaptation, and Ms Doubtfire was x likely to be evolved past in his lifetime. He was still an amazing person, a great comedian, a great actor, a tormented soul, and in some of his work truly inspiring.
Saying he's a hack or formulaic is just trolling though. Some things are a formula now because of him.

There is rarely (if that even) anyone who claims to have met Williams and had a bad experience. Even those who saw him at his darkest, that darkness never seemed to be aimed at anyone except himself. His humor was often gold and there are so many stories of actors being unable to to keep a straight face during takes because every take would be some new ad-lib from him. Not everything can be masterpieces but this was someone who could do everything from comedy to drama with emotional heart.
Most stuff on unpopular opinion is made up anyways. The whole point is to say something so unpopular people upvote you for it. This guy likely just realized saying this would be an easy bait since Robin Williams has been so beloved over the years.
The only way it could be more bait would be if it ended with "and don't get me started on that Steve Irwin prick"
Dropping this here because it belongs here.
