正直映画より映画論の方が面白い。

English Translation

To tell the truth, I find discussions about movies more interesting than movies themselves.

映画 is closer to “theories about movies in general”. 映画 is “reviews on a certain movie”. I interpret the English sentence as the latter.

To the tell truth?
Isn’t it 〝To tell the truth〟?

To tell the truth, I find discussions about movies more interesting than movies themselves.

となっています。Nori-peeさんの見間違えではありませんか?


All of the sentence pairs in the English course from Japanese and the Japanese course from English on Clozemaster as well as the original source on Tatoeba use the idiom “to tell the truth” properly.
I’m afraid you gave a false alarm…
