The "I gotta rant about how horrible this movie is" thread

An arbitrary group who couldn't care less and managed to make me smile through the good vs evil monontany, oh yeah they were definitly needed.

Lol, emo, goth...?

 

[Goddessreicho]

As for James Bond: Sean Connery = good, Timothy Dalton = bad, Roger Moore = meh, P. B. = wannabe

 

[aaron]

sean connery - god! timothy dalton - meh, roger moore and pierce brosnan - not bad, daniel craigh - amazing!

 

[Goddessreicho]

I am so not either. Do I come of as one? Hahahaaa....

I just hate good vs evil, with no grey area. Frodo not giving the ring back is the savior of the whole thing for me. One of the reasons I like the books.

Just a few bad movies whose suckitude dumfounded me in more ways than one:

Date Movie - I watched about four minutes of this garbage, and I can safely say it's probably the worst movie I've ever seen. It is completely devoid of intelligence and talent, and is only good for maybe one cheap, half assed giggle, nothing more. It is proof at how low mainstraim cinema go.

Alien3 - the third movie in a franchise is generally the weakest, but this one is a prime candidate for the worst. Completely ignoring the ingenius vision set up by Ridley Scott in Alien and continued by Cameron in Aliens, director David Fichner chose to create this meandering, depressing suckfest of a sequel filled with hideously over the top acting (Sigourney Weaver included), a horrible, fake looking alien, a plot hole ridden script and poor special effects. The saving graces of the film are Charles Dance (who makes Clemens a great, likeable character despite being killed off before he can get any real development) and Charles S. Dutton, whose performance as Dillon almost makes the film worthwhile. Almost.

Die Hard 2: Die Harder - on its own, it's not that bad, but when compared to the other two films of the series, it's dreadful. It lacks the slick intensity and intelligent scripting of the first film (one of if not the greatest action movies ever made) and the explosive mix of humor and intense that enabled With A Vengeance to work as well as it did. The plot is extremely hard to follow and the performances are dreadfully over the top, especially the villian, played by a no name actor who completely lacked the intelligence and creepiness that Rickman and Irons brought to their roles. Even Willis seems out of it. The action sequences are nice but lack any real excitement, and overall it's just not that great a movie. Not completely awful, but bad enough to warrant a spot on my list.

Omen IV - The Awakening - poorly made and completely unnecessary made for tv update of the original, with Damien Thorne's daughter Delia wreaking havoc on an unsuspecting All American family who have adopted her. It almost kills the credibility of the entire series to the point where it is laughable (for me the series was done after the first one, though II was entertaining). Every sequence meant to be scary is a deliberately cheesy homage to the first film, and that's where it really fails.

Beverly Hills Cop - I know I'll catch heat for this one. I know a lot of people love it and consider it Eddie Murphy's best movie. I watched it last summer, and I hated it. It hasn't aged well. I didn't find it very funny, and I though the humr and action sequence were horribly dated. It is far from Murphy's best work (Trading Places and Coming To America can fight it out for that prestgious title), and definitely his most overrated.

I could probably think of more, but they're not coming to me right now.

hey what?

 

[JLBats]

I am a film aficionado and I go to filmn school, I can tell when a movie is bad.

Dude... you make the most incoherent reasonings for why films are bad, arguments that often have absolutely nothing to do with the film itself. I refuse to believe you went to film school. That is a bold faced lie

 

[aaron]

^ lol

 

[Goddessreicho]

But if you are, how do you feel about yawn-eriffick good vs evil themes in movies?

I`d like to add that I was absolutely disgusted by Blade 2`s stupidity. I enjoyed the first one, I thought it was a well crafted film with a gritty sense of realism (as far as comic films go), and when I read on these boards many Blade fans preferred the second film to the first, I couldn`t believe it, and after watching Blade 2, I still don`t... Had I seen blade 2 while Batman Begins was in production, I would have been worried of David Goyer`s abilities as a screenwriter, fortunetely he pulled it off, but man did Blade 2 suck. Story was weak, characters were annoying (especially that smartass kid/sidekick, forgot his name). Although I will say I liked Ron Perlman in it. I cringe to think what Trinity is like, I haven`t seen it.

 

[ultimatefan]

Being the movie buff that I am, I find it hard to believe I´d watch any movie and completely lose interest after about twenty minutes, most of all a movie about the classic Universal monsters...But so it happened when I rented the Van Helsing DVD. After a while, my brain was so numbed by the cheesy dialogue, the forced humor, the uninteresting action, the lack of sense of mood and atmosphere... I just decided to skip right into watching the movie with the audio commentary, cuz it´be at least funny to see the director sounding excited and enthusiastic about such a pile of manure, and try to figure out how the hell he thought it was going to work... I had to laugh my ass off when Sommers said people who hate the movie probably watch the commentary to see what the hell the guy was thinking, cuz it was EXACTLY what I was doing, and when he was talking about how well the movie did on test screening, when you see the movie aware that it sank like a rock after opening weekend...

if you didn't like 2 as much as you just said, then you probably ought to just ignore trinity... it'll probably make your head explode.

2 is my favorite of the 3 by far, though.

 

[Octoberist]

I have to admit: I love Stanley Kubrick but I hated 2001.

Trust me, I gave it 3 shots and I just didn't like it. It's like watching paint dry. However, I loved Dr. Strangelove, The Shining, and A Clockwork Orange, so it evens out.

I also hated Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. And I Love Depp and Burton!
The issue was that it was the same damn thing, minus the warmth of Gene Wilder. In fact, I prefer Wilder's dry wit over Depp's naive Michael Jackson-esq portrayal.

Also, nothing can beat the orignal Veruca Salt. Stil the biggest brat in cinematic history. The new Salt wasn't that annoying nor that mean..she was just misguided.
