Awful Movies That Are Almost Redeemed By One Thing

[Carter]

Ultraviolet. The only thing good about that movie was the amzing fighting scenes!

I think Batman Begins was a more believelable movie than the previous 4, but not realistic. That was a term overused by fans, honestly.

A secret ninja society bent on destroying Gotham? A man dressed as a bat fighting crime? A man who wears bag over his head and sprays 'fear' gas?

No...but all of these elements are acceptable in the movie's enviorment. Hence, it was 'believable' not realistic.

I thought Nolan did a great job balancing things out, but I felt he should of used another terminology than 'realism'. How about that one word that Donner used for Superman? Vermuiltitude?

PS

BATMAN BEGINS RULES!

Well, using a secret ninja society to make the idea of a man dressing up as bat more beleivable doesn't strike me as the best use of common sense, but hey, that's just me. Nolan said he wanted to show how Batman could exist in a world like ours, I don't think he did at all.

 

[Warhammer]

Batman's existance in our world = Caught Dead or Alive.

 

[Sandman138]

Yes, I know. But secret Tibetan ninjas aren't a beleivable justification for why he wouldn't be.

 

[Sandman138]

It would have been more beleivable if he trained with the Zapatistas and the Isreali Army under a false name.

 

[Warhammer]

Well, I can't argue with that.
I gotta give you your respect.

 

[Savage]

It wasn't the training with ninjas part that made him come up with the idea but what Ra's told him about theatrics. Putting on a show to scare your opponent which is what The Batman is essentially all about. He doesn't have to be able to beat you, just make you believe that he can. There's a reason the JLA is terrified of that paranoid bastard.

 

[Sandman138]

Yes, but that is essentialy the secret of the uber amazing ninjas, so same differance. He could have learned that from the Zapatistas. They've known that for years.

Napoleon Dynamite, the scene where Napoleon was dancing on the stage

 

[TheSaintofKillers]

Any giant monsters movies. Even the very bad ones. Why ? Because they have Giant monsters, heh.

 

[The Hero]

Constantine-I liked the way it was shot,and the style of special effects used.Basically,everything in the movie was good...except the script.And the casting.And the acting.And the name.

 

[The Kid]

I might be alone in saying this but Sin City was almost redeemed by the boob shots.

I totally agree with you.

 

[Carter]

I want to add the abortion that is Star Wars Episode 1.

Darth Maul is just insanely cool, they shouldn't have killed him

 

[Sandman138]

Honestly, Maul just looked really cool. Other than that, there wasn't anything too him. No where near as menacing as Vader in either presence or look (Grim Reaper meets German facism).

 

[Carter]

He had way more presence than Dooku or Jango Fett

 

[Sandman138]

He had way more presence than Dooku or Jango Fett

Too true (how the guy who played Toad managed to have more presence than Christopher ****ing Lee is beyond me)

He was also more intimidating than the robot with the bad russian accent and emphazima.

 

[Carter]

haha I forgot about General Grevious. Yeah, he sucked too

 

[The Hero]

Don't forget Milla's ass

I now have a small urge to see Ultraviolet.

Damn my loneliness.

I'm gonna add Once Upon a Time in Mexico being redeemed by Depp's awesomeness. How this ended up being so far below Desperado's level, I don't know. Giving it an awesomely epic title and one of the best trailers ever only made the disappointment hurt more.

Depp was 'the awesome' in that movie... especially at the end.

I thought I was the only one who found this film to be an utter disappointment. yes, Depp is fantastic, but the plot is about five or six streams of mini plot woven together to make a movie that makes no sense whatsoever. Revenge, betrayl, drug dealing, revolution. All of this as the finale of a series about a man solely set on avenging his love, killing anyone who gets in the way. Overcomplicated it and made it too much. Willem Dafoe couldn't save it. Depp, as amazing as he was, couldn't save it. Still, I know many liked it, I just don't know why. Rant over!......

 

[Dr. Fate]

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome - almost redeemed by the Thunderdome fight

Highlander 3 - almost redeemed by showing actress Deborah Kara Unger naked

Superman 3 - almost redeemed by the mere presence of the delicious Annette O'Toole

Superman 4: The Quest for Peace - almost redeemed by the fact that it has a slightly more coherent story than Superman 3, the late Chris Reeve's struggle to still imbue Superman with unabashed sincerity despite the fact that even he knew the whole thing had turned into a pile of crap, and a scene in the Fortress of Solitude between Supes and the ghostly elders of Krypton.

Eurotrip - almost redeemed by the confessional sex scene showing a very naked Jessica Boehrs

King Kong 1976 - almost redeemed by scenes of a nude or nearly nude young Jessica Lange

Supergirl - almost redeemed by the sight of Helen Slater's hot body in the classic Supergirl costume.

Terminator 3 - almost redeemed by the sight of Kristanna Loken nude.

1941 - an uneven war comedy almost redeemed by the scenes where a much younger Nancy Allen is coming to orgasm on an airplane.

Robocop 2 - almost redeemed by a few competent, well executed action sequences, particularly the fight between Peter Weller's Robocop/Murphy and the giant cyborg Cain-Robocop, and some decent music by Leonard Rosenman.

Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets - almost redeemed by the late Richard Harris's portrayal of Albus Dumbledore and some decent music by John Williams.

Jaws 2 - almost redeemed by the very brief use of John Williams original Jaws theme.

Diamonds Are Forever - a less than inspiring Bond film almost redeemed by the sight of Lana Wood wearing nothing but purple high heels and transparent pink panties outlined with frilly blue lace.

Tomorrow Never Dies - another less than inspiring Bond film almost redeemed by the sight of Teri Hatcher in her underwear.

The World Is Not Enough - and another less than inspiring Bond film almost redeemed by the sight of Serena Scott Thomas stripped down to her underwear.

Hollywood Homicide - almost redeemed by the amusing interrogation scene.

Star Wars Episode I - almost redeemed by the three-way duel between Liam Neeson, Ray Park and Ewan McGregor

Elektra - almost redeemed by the scene where Jennifer Garner gets her ass handed to her by General Zod, AKA: Terence Stamp

Van Helsing - almost redeemed by any scene where one of the central characters is enduring physical abuse of some sort

Pearl Harbor - almost redeemed by some good explosions

If you hadn't seen Desperado, I can understand liking it. It wasn't altogether bad. But compared to Desperado, and with who it has in it, it just feels like a completely wasted chance. And it sadly used up that awesome title. If you're going to use "Once Upon a Time" it better be somewhat epic.

For some reason, my boss, who was one of Rodreguiz's teachers at UT, liked OUATIM best out of all of them. He said he thought that all of the movies were baisically tongue-in-cheek and that said movie was just more open about it. I never could understand that point of view, not when El Mariachi was just sooooo much better.
