Save a bad film

[DyeLorean]

Ok, so I saw the Honest Trailer for Batman Forever today and, what are the odds, the film is on TV right now.

And I thought to myself, yes, the movie is not very good, but it does have some redeeming qualities: I think Jim Carrey is perfect for the role of Riddler (at least in the context of that particular universe) and the production design is full of rich images.

Maybe we can play a game where you say at least one redeeming quality of the film that a previous user think is bad or not so good, and then name another film you think is bad for the next user.

Here, I start with... mmm... The Happening.

Mark Walhberg is a science teacher in it so it's kind of funny? Ok, a difficult one:

Sucker Punch

Straight up a live-action anime or a movie that really understands video games.

Movie 43

Movie 43

The only favorable thing I can say is that they put together QUITE A CAST for such an ill-conceived film.

Catwoman

Catwoman

It has been difficult for Pitoff to make another film since.

The Snowman

 

[childeroland]

Rebecca Ferguson isn't half-bad.

Geostorm

 

[DyeLorean]

In a year without disaster films, at least we got one for all of us that enjoy those. Have yet to see it though.

Son of the Mask

Son of the Mask

Is the best Looney Tunes movie that's not a Looney Tunes movie since Space Jam.


Star Wars: A New Hope.

 

[wampa1]

...

Terminator: Genisys

 

[Deck Rickard]

Umm... Lee Byung-hun is a decent T-1000 for the five minutes or so of screentime that he has.

Suicide Squad

 

[gwynplaine]

Jared Leto and Margot Robbie had good chemistry, even though I'm not a big Harley fan in the 1st place, I'd watch more of their shenanigans.

The Tourist.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I have no regrets not remembering it exists.

Battlefield Earth

 

[childeroland]

Introduced me to Rifftrax.

The Hottie and the Nottie

Hopefully it got Forrest Whittaker a nice paycheck.

The Phantom Menace.

Easy, Darth Maul. My personal fave SW universe bad guy.

Batman & Robin

Batman & Robin

Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1 liners as Mr. Freeze were so bad that they were good.

Battleship

 

[psylockolussus]

Rihanna made me laugh

X-Men Apocalypse

X-Men Apocalypse

Didn't care about the kids going in but they were, surprisingly, what worked on the film.

Anaconda

 

[Spider-Aziz]

The snake effects looked fine back then

Lionheart

 

[gwynplaine]

Van Damme is a good dude, he rescues stray dogs.

Burlesque.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

The Room-Wiseau

 

[childeroland]

Maybe the greatest bad film of all time except for Mantos (maybe) and great to see with your friends.

Saving Christmas

 

[Spider-Aziz]

A reminder that the bloody cash grab of a holiday is coming to a wallet saving end.

Armageddon

 

[DyeLorean]

Armageddon

It isn't the worst film Michael Bay has made.

Ghost Rider
