overopinionated

Too full of views

Overopinionated describes someone who holds too many opinions, holds them too strongly, or expresses them too freely.

The word implies both excess and intrusion—the overopinionated person offers views where none were asked for: He's overopinionated about everything from politics to pizza toppings.
