Which Bad Movie Have You Seen Lately?

[leifastagsweed]

Under The Skin.

Scarlett Johansson + Sci Fi /= Entertainment.

I know. I thought it did, too. Lessons in life and 20 minutes of my life I will never get back (turned it off so that I could get a foothold on reality)

The Amazing Spider-Man 2. I'm not fond of this superheroes to begin with but this movie was just stupid in all regards.

Disliking Spiderman is like disliking air. Or water. Or food.

Or America.

He's one of my favorite superheroes of all time.

That being said: I didn't bother watching this movie. I'll catch it someday and know it's a pile of shit beforehand so I can better enjoy it.

It's not possible for me to dislike America when Captain America is my favorite.

[Celephais]

You guys see Zombeavers? Awesomely bad movie.

Tusk was less awesome but another good bad movie.

I recently tried to watch two things that were absolutely unwatchable. Firstly, I was going through Pauly Shore's filmography and finding that he probably didn't deserve as much crap as he got in the late 90s, and then I hit Jury Duty, which justified all of it. I couldn't even make it to the end. I still stand behind Son in Law and In The Army Now, though!

Secondly, I couldn't get past the first 10 minutes of Rock N Rolla. I just...couldn't. It was hard enough to get past the title.

[Androidpk]

I'm waiting for Beer Zombie, the movie.

[Parkbandit]

It's not possible for me to dislike America when Captain America is my favorite.

That's true... and maybe I need to GTFO since I've never liked Captain America all that much.

From the comics.. not necessarily from the movies or TV shows:

Spiderman
Ironman
Batman
Daredevil
Flash
Green Lantern
Dead Pool

In that order.

[Androidpk]

If we're just talking about the comics then Spidie is okay. I don't think any of the movies have done him justice though.

I didn't really like any of the Spiderman movies. The earlier ones had moments that were entertaining, but on the whole they are kinda crappy.

I also didn't particularly like the first Captain America movie. It's definitely worth watching the second, as they are quite different from one another IMO.

The TCU/LSU CWS opener.

[Ker_Thwap]

The New Mad Max. I thought it was overall lame. Not one, but two "Bane Masks." Max was a pudgy afterthought, with goofy flashback sequences to demonstrate his madness. So very much bad science. There are no resources lacking, infinite vehicles, infinite vehicle parts, infinite disposable people to crash said cars, infinite water that they just pour out in a deluge into the sand. For all the hammering home of the feminist plot, in the end they just rescue the pretty girls, and leave the audience in the dark about the fate of the women who were being used as milk cows. A depressing movie.

I rather liked Mad Max. The water resource was explained, but the way it was distributed didn't make sense. That was the one really weak part of the movie, but it was a pretty small part of the story. Mad Max was basically a two hour car chase, with some dystopian culture thrown in. Which was just what I was looking for.

Pretty much. it has been one of the best movies of the year. I don't think it's better than Road Warrior or the first but it kicks the crap out of Thunderdome and has no creepy Gibson baggage. Hardy/Theron did just fine and Hoult deserves awards.

SPOILERS!!!!













The bad guy is a pasty white old guy, who controls every aspect of the society, women are reduced to breeding stock and milkers, he trades tanker trucks of breast milk for gas. Inexplicably, evil weird guy put a one armed woman named Furiosa in a position of power. She chooses to rescue the pretty breeders and take them to her childhood oasis matriarchy. They drive and battle, find the Matriarchy oasis has been fouled up, collect the sexy/regal/earth friendly mentor old ladies, turn around and drive and battle back. Max hands her the rifle with the last bullet, because she's the better shot, apparently this is deep. Furiosa rubs grease on her forehead once in a while do demonstrate her badassedness.

So, it's a battle drive there and back, because attractive women are awesome and strong. Two guys aren't bad, and semi useful on occasion.

I think you're missing the point. I don't think it's the storyline itself that makes feminists happy but more because women figure as leads in an action movie at all. That's rather uncommon.

Women should only be side characters that look hot and get banged by the protagonist.

Out of curiousity, I did a google search for action movies with women as leads and most of the ones listed would fit right into the theme of this thread. Lots of really bad movies. Mad Max is an action movie that features women but is also hugely successful. That's a rarity for sure.

Mad Max was awesome. Honestly, if I hadn't heard of the controversy before-hand I would have never picked up on any sort of perceived feminist slant.

Eh, I felt like it was just paying lip service. Superficial at best, kind of like Disney princess feminism. They tried, but failed. I think I watched it with my "Feminist Dad" hat on, and found it wanting.

Netflix, right? Yeah it's pretty bad. I watched about an hour a few nights ago and was surprised when I checked the time because it felt like I had been watching it forever. Last night I watched another 45 minutes and holy crap I'm still not done. The movie will not fucking end.

Also WTF with Marky Mark playing a dad.

No, I saw them. They came out about 20 minutes before the movie ended. Literally no personality, no lines, they all looked alike, and for being introduced as some kind of ultimate warriors Grimlock(?) got his ass kicked pretty easily by Optimus. SUPER disappointed.

[leifastagsweed]

Fifty Shades Of Grey. No, I didn't read the crappy books nor did I expect it to be anything but a crappy Hollywood movie. I *did* however, think mayyyyybe it would be sort of sexy. I was pretty sure for a long while that I never wanted to read or watch any of this drivel. What finally piqued my interest in viewing was the movie's title song by The Weeknd which is a cool, sexy, slow jam. So this week, I randomly thought, hey, this song is purdy sexy, maybe I too can lower my expectations and enjoy some of this soft porn that has sparked such a cattle drive of rabid lady fans. But no. Just...No. This material was clearly not meant for people who *actually* like sex. I watched for a while, got angry, got bored, went and did stuff until the last scene, and then got mad again when it was over. It was a mood killer more than anything. Curiosity killed the cat. Boooo.

[Tisket]

I agree. Fifty Shades of Grey was wasted time and money.

I finally got around to watching Battle of the Five Armies and holy fuck that movie should have ended after the first 15 minutes. Kung fu wizards and Super Saiyan Galadriel and exposition/tie-in characters that shouldn't even exist. Please no Silmarillion... please no Silmarillion...

Not sure if this counts as I only saw the trailer but.. London Has Fallen. Die Hard vs. Taken vs. Air Force One essentially. I was dumbstruck when I saw it.

Also I concur somewhat belatedly about the Hobbit garbage, but I think the writing was very clearly on the screen with The Desolation of Smaug and all of its gratuitous CGI and just flat-out made up bullshit. You could also say the same about the first one, An Unexpected Journey, but it was pretty toned down imo (though still not good) in comparison with the second offering.

I agree as a one-off, though it was a bit strange that the same movie was released twice in the same year. As a sequel though, it seems to have just become "Hey, people loved Taken enough to shower 3 of them with cash, why not take the president next?" to me.

The Godfather Epic. It's Godfather 1 & 2 re-cut together to run in chronological order, with some extra/deleted scenes. The extra scenes I guess are ok if you haven't seen them before and you're a fan of the movies, but it's mostly just because they're new (to me), not at all because they are in any way important or impactful.

I expected them all (LOTR and Hobbit) to suck compared to the books. They were still entertaining, but yeah, not good. I think to be good they'd have to be a lot darker, and that's just not going to sell as well. Need to get an independent studio and some rich ass person that doesn't give a shit to finance it, then make one hell of a movie. Then for fun, throw in a giantman warrior named Jeril. Now that's some BAMFS!

It's more than just being used to them a certain way. In their original format, both Godfather 1 and 2 are basically flawless. Excellent pacing, transitions, the flashback scenes make sense when you get to see Vito in his younger days, etc. The editing to bring all of that into chronological order kills a lot of the flow of the movies and makes it feel like (to borrow from an IMDB review) a string of mediocre TV show episodes pasted together.

I don't agree with lumping LOTR and Hobbit together. I thought the LOTR trilogy was pretty well done, all things considered. It was relatively faithful to the books in my opinion and interesting to watch even though I am very familiar with the books. They had 3 mostly well-paced movies for 3 decently sized novels, whereas The Hobbit, shorter than any of the LOTR series novels, gets split into 3 bloated, nearly unwatchable carcasses.

Well, I lump them together because of PJ being the director of both and both being remakes of Tolkien books. I also lump them because, and this goes without saying obviously, but neither was as good as the source material. You aren't wrong though to separate them because you're right about the quality of each on it's own; although it's been a while since I've read the Hobbit vs. LOTR. There were some blatant CGI background graphics that really bothered me about LOTR though, which made it hard for me. Plus, and I know this is subjective, the actor/character portrayal. Inevitably this was probably going to cause issues for people. My issue is they used fairly good to great actors for most of the parts, but the problem with that is I've seen a lot of those actors/actresses in other parts, so it was hard to separate what they had done previously with what they were trying to do in LOTR. I'd almost rather they had used a couple of well known people in key parts and used lesser known people in the other parts so as not to run in to that issue. And again, this is just me, but I would have rather have seen a darker movie than what it was. Closer to Max Payne. And FYI for anyone who might be a Max Payne fan, my only experience was the movie. (hopefully that's a good analogy, but I'm not sure)

Why "of course"? Hollywood is rife with good movies that use science that wouldn't hold up to even a cursory examination. If it's a bad movie then the devil is in the storytelling, not the details.

You can get the 2 part movie on iTunes. It's fantastic. I hope B v S is even half as good.

[subzero]

Why "of course"? Hollywood is rife with good movies that use science that wouldn't hold up to even a cursory examination. If it's a bad movie then the devil is in the storytelling, not the details.

Because it has Superman in it.

I've never read any, but I've watched most (if not all) of the Batman movies since the late 80s/early 90s. Maybe I was baked out of my gourd, but I don't recall Superman even remotely being mentioned in them. Never been a big fan of DC stuff in general, so that probably doesn't help. Batman's the best they've got, really.

[shad0ws0ngs]

Batman V Superman sucked. I could see if you liked Frank Miller's version of Batman you might like it, but even then it wasn't that coherently put together. They seemed to be trying to allow for leading up for the next few movies with the future/dream bit, but it just made an already awkward script more awkward. Batman was more of a thug than a meticulous planning detective-mastermind in this and that was a shame.

I just figured the movie was the start up to make a Justice League series, trying to be like the Avengers. They just suck a lot more compared to the epicness that was the Marvel movies that led up to the Avengers over time. Marvel did lay it all on you at once, they introduced all the characters individually and then brought them together.

The dark knight returns is a 2 part animated. It's excellent. Based on frank millers comic from the 80's. Batman is old, comes out of retirement, fights superman in hand to hand combat...

[Parkbandit]

Batman vs Superman is a bad movie, which made me sad.

It's all about expectations.

I read the reviews.. most of them were "OMG THIS WUZ TEH WERST MOVIE EVER" which lowered my expectations of the movie.

I ended up enjoying it.

The 2015 Steve Jobs failed to impress. We get it, he had a crappy relationship with his first kid. I wish it had kept up with the beginning and focused more on his eccentricities, uncompromising vision of what he viewed to be perfection, and his ability to get people hyped. Guess I'll just have to keep waiting for a good one, if it ever happens.

What We Do in the Shadows I couldn't even finish. I laughed during the trailer but the movie went flat.

Wow nothing since March!

I watched Roar (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083001/?ref_=nv_sr_3) this weekend, twice. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. As a movie it completely fails, but as a piece of filmmaking history there's nothing like it.

The Adventures of Hercules II (with Lou Ferrigno). So bad.

[Jhynnifer]

Secret Life of Pets.

Let me preface this with the fact that up until watching it I had heard only the best things about the movie, so my expectations were already set incredibly high.

The best part of the movie was the opening scene (and what you see in the trailer). Everything that followed was a rehash of the same old, boring, overused and cliche storyline that really just didn't do it for me. All the great CGI and fun characters cannot make up for a boring plot. =(

I didn't get the hype for this movie at all. I really liked the Professor X stuff, but really couldn't bring myself to get attached to the kid(s).

The comic storyline it's semi-based on is considered to be really, really good.

Which Star Wars?

Some were good, some were bad but, if you mean the first one from 1977, well, you need to watch it in a time machine for it to have the same impact it did when it first came out. It's not all that impressive by today's cinematic perspective. We've become jaded.

I am a giant X-men fan, and specifically of Wolverine, but I have to agree with you. The story was really meh. It was like "Hey, we know we really need to come up with an ending for this iteration of Wolverine because Hugh Jackman doesn't want to do it anymore, and this story more or less works, so here you go." Also, (and I want to preface this by saying cursing doesn't bother me one bit) it definitely makes sense for Wolverine to curse because of his character, but for Professor X to curse so much just seemed contrived and poorly written.

I can agree with you, I think it was a poor choice meant to help emphasize his overall decline. What they did with the Professor was my favorite part of the storyline mostly because I never considered the kind of massive damage he could do should his mind ever start to go. I even liked Wolverine's "redemption" but if the movie had ended at the farm, I'd probably have been A-OK. It's probably the first superhero movie I haven't wanted to watch a second time (since the X-men 2 and 3).

Haven't see a bad movie in some time. 30 years of being a video buyer makes it pretty easy to pick and choose. But to be fair, I am also bored of most movies now. I've seen all the plots, I won't even consider a remake, and historical movies are garbage to a historian.

I don't think we have a bad TV show thread, but The Witcher on Netflix is bad.

I really wanted to like it and, although I'm only through the first episode, I'm disappointed. Have you watched the whole series? I'm hoping it improves.

[Archigeek]

Ad Astra. Really bad.

[Taernath]

I really wanted to like it and, although I'm only through the first episode, I'm disappointed. Have you watched the whole series? I'm hoping it improves.

I'm at episode 6. I'll probably try to finish it tonight.

It gets a little better, but not by much. The fight at the end of episode 1 is the high point, after which it's almost entirely talking for another 4 hours. How familiar are you with the setting? I've never read the books but I'm vaguely aware of who the characters are and their histories. The problem is it's a Netflix adaptation of a series of books and a TV series in a foreign language which serve as a very loose prequel for a video game. We're reaching levels of obscurity that shouldn't even be possible. I think if you're not a Superfan you'll be absolutely lost.

I'm afraid that the hunchback sex scene may have awoken something inside me, though.

[Astray]

I actually liked the series but I'm a hardcore fanboy. The swordplay is fucking amazing, if nothing else.

[Menos]

I'm not at all a fan of the books/games, and I thought it was on the good side of ok. The fights that only included Henry Cavil vs other people (like the end of episode 1) were really good, alot of the other hero actors and the CGI animators were not as good at fights (See the opening of episode 1, or any of the battles). Also, why didn't they just copy armor from the games instead of giving the baddies armor that looked made out of someone's 1970's black prom dress?

[Tisket]

I'm afraid that the hunchback sex scene may have awoken something inside me, though.

Just the phrase, "hunchback sex scene" awoke something in me. I'm not saying whether it was disgust or interest though. That's between me and my imagination.

[drauz]

I enjoyed the show, not a hyper fanboy but I really enjoyed Witcher 3 game. My only gripe is that there seems to be a lot of going back and forth in time (flashbacks) and it sometimes took me a while to realize this was a flashback scene.

I agree, the flashbacks were over/mis used. I would of rathered they just told the story chronologically.

I found some of the flashbacks I was 4 or 5 minutes into the episode until I realized it was a flashback.

[kutter]

I am about halfway through Witcher and I like it ok so far, but I know nothing about it, never read the books, never played the game, so for me it is an all new thing.

Now for my bad movie, Joker. I wanted to like this, I really did, but all it did was depress me. Except for some silly plot adaptations to the Wayne family, it had nothing to do with the DC timeline. I will admit that if they named it something else, and got rid of the ridiculous plot tie ins it could have been an engaging movie. I thought Joaquin Phoenix's performance was good, even if he did look like a skeleton. But the movie had NOTHING to do with anything as far as DC is concerned. And now I hear they are making a sequel, I know what I will not be going to see.

[Neveragain]

I don't think we have a bad TV show thread, but The Witcher on Netflix is bad.

Tried watching it last night. It's very not good.

[Teveriel]

Enjoyed the Witcher books, loved each of the games, and three episodes in, I like the show well enough. I can see how it would disappoint people who only know the games, which took some liberties with the source material.

[Winter]

I wasn't a fan of episode 2 I found some of the dialogue a little bit cringeworthy, but I watched all 8 and really enjoyed the narrative. I think this is the first netflix series I've watched where the cast was made up almost entirely of classically trained actors.

[Gelston]

I like it better than that fucking multiyear trash series you fags liked called Game of Thrones.

[Viekn]

So I'm on episode 4 and am now realizing everything with the Witcher up to now seems to be a flashback, while everything with Princess Cirilla is present time. I definitely like the show but am a bit irritated now by this method of story telling and the separate timelines without letting the viewer know that's what they were doing before hand. Anyone mind at least sharing at what episode do the timelines come together?

Or does the first season end without the timelines coming completely together?

[Winter]

Anyone mind at least sharing at what episode do the timelines come together?

Can't really say without spoiling it but if you're on ep4 expect more jiggery pokery with timelines.

[Viekn]

Ok. Thanks for the heads up. Yeah, don't spoil it. I'll just keep going. Characters and story are good, but don't love the timeline structure. Hopefully it resolves at least somewhat satisfactory and/or sets itself up for an even better season 2.

I liked it as a movie. It was better than the other 2 new trilogy movies. I mostly hated the entire direction they took with the new trilogy, basically making the original trilogy not matter in anyway. I wanted like, New Republic vs the remnants of the Empire, not "Oh hai, new rebel vs a new Empire we made up!!"

I enjoyed The Witcher. I did not have high expectations nor had I read any of the books or played any of the games.

The show is indifferent towards the audience regarding the timeline of events as presented. The world and the storyline(s) are not exactly spoon-fed either. Ironically, I think that's why critics are nailing it, but audience scores are much higher.

[Fierna]

Some of the Witcher episodes have pockets of genius, like episode 3 with the Striga arc.

But most of the shows “main arc” is kinda shit, with typical “network tv” banter/dialogue and general shitty costumes. The armors in the show are poorly done with the platemail being clearly visible as spray-painted plastic. The ballsack armor is almost comical and an eyesore.

[Tisket]

I just watched the episode where Yennifer tries to save the baby and the mother from the assassin and his pet. I thought it was really well done.

The story arc with the cursed hedgehog dude and the princess was so fucking confusing though. I had no idea what was going on. Really shitty writing.

I figured that out at the end. It was all the other shit that happened at that ball that could have been clearer with better writing. It seems, in most episodes, the writers responsible for the dialogue had never actually had a conversation before in their lives. I still don't know why that queen hated the hedgehog so much and tried to kill him. All the overacting, dramatic faces the actors made during the whole thing weren't adequately explained during the actual scene and it was annoying. It doesn't help that Cavill only seems to have one expression either. They must have hired him for his granite jaw and ignored his lack of acting talent.

I'm in the middle of the dragon episode now and enjoying it. The overall series is actually enjoyable, you just have to watch with a less than critical eye and hope the writing improves next season.

[Some Rogue]

https://youtu.be/ltnXFGa6244?t=213

Explains a lot from the perspective of the games which is changed up a bit for the show.

[Gelston]

They are basically doing all the backstories for the characters over many different centuries. Geralt and Yennifer are in their 100s when they meet Ciri for instance. Instead of just focusing on one person and then saying "Okay, forget them for a while" they are doing them all at once. Season two should bring it all together.

[Sile]

I just watched through the witcher for a second time. There are a lot of nice hidden details that you dont really notice on the first run through.

But I agree the conversations are generally poorly done, and the order of events makes things confusing.

I feel some of the casting is a little weak. The actresses who plays yennifer and triss are not the best choices, yennifers actress is beautiful but dont give me the dangerous feeling I get from the yennifer of the books. Nor is she as vengeful as i would of hoped
I feel Caville hits his role out of the park though.

Also the fights. Some are brilliant, some have too much going on and are either confusing or badly written. I found the defense of the mages very badly done. The only guy I liked was the sword mage.

Still excited for the 2nd season, now that the world building is mostly done. I hope they slap in a few more monster hunts as I feel the Striga episode was the best of the series and people love seeing old fables brought to life.

The problem with the approach the writers and directors have taken is that they assume the viewers know about that world and so fail to explain what's going on for those viewers who aren't familiar with the stories or games. I'm familiar with the games but I still spend more time than I should going, "what the fuck was that about?"

It's been a while since I played but didn't Triss have a bigger role to play? Or did the writers sacrifice her storyline for some reason?

The fights are really enjoyable, you are right about that.

I will say this for Cavill: He uses the word "fuck" to good effect.

Just out of curiosity I googled the 100 worst movies of all time. I liked a lot of the movies on that list so I think I've lost all right to post in this thread :(

You don't realize how absolutely terrible the last 3 Star Wars movies are until you watch them for the 2nd time.

Absolutely pieces of steaming piles of shit.

Exactly this.

George Lucas must have put a Kennedy curse on Siskel and Ebert. I don't even remember if the aforementioned piles of shit got a definitive thumbs down. Well. Thumbs down :thumbdown:

Oh no. I know how that works here. I post something and ten years from now someone dredges it up as ammunition for some squabble.

Uh uh. Some things should remain private, like my enjoyment of movies like Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2.

Watched this as well. Dug it. Good concept. Pulled it off well. Three thumbs up.


A friend of mine cut up Sucker Punch and removed all the non-action scenes, ie. boring scenes. The movie got a lot better then. Not great, but better, which speaks volumes about how bad it was in the first place.

I actually liked sucker punch, despite the concept that all the sexy dancing was replaced with CGI battles. Good soundtrack, very graphic novel-escqe film. The writing needed help but the big budget managed to pull it off.

Yeah, critics are dicks and seeing a critic review a movie as terrible is motivational for me to see it.

Disagree, they're all better than the one with Jar Jar. You sound like a grumpy old man who refuses to like anything that is made in this century.

The prequels were bad, but they had a clear, overarching plot. From the new trilogy, the first was a A New Hope remake, the second one went out of its way to sUbVeRt yOuR eXpEcTaTiOnS, and the third was a disorganized mess with Palpatine as a complete asspull. They're pretty to look at, but I really don't enjoy them as Star Wars movies.

Agreed. Beerfest and Super Troopers on my list.

I actually wanted to watch that Half in the Bag, but didn't want it to spoil the movie for me so I watched the movie first. Boy did I feel stupid.

Watched this. That is dark. Felt like Greek allegory to me. 3 of 4 stars.

Everything Everywhere All at Once - My son who is a big film nerd wanted to go, so I went with him. I don't know that the movie itself is bad, but personally I HATED it. It seems like filming a movie like this would be a lot more work than any normal movie, so I'm sure it took good actors to even make it through filming. The concepts were so far fetched though and the applications of those concepts felt like amateur B movie production level at times. But bits and pieces of the movie also seemed brilliant cinematography and storytelling. I have a fairly strong willing suspension of disbelief, but this movie just went completely off the rails. It got so bad I just switched to reading a book on my phone halfway through. Literally there were people with hotdogs for fingers.

Moonfall. Mind-bogglingly stupid.

We Need to Talk About Kevin

It was like watching a film that was made for psychology students to debate over. It was also very predictable.

[Tisket]

Moonfall. Mind-bogglingly stupid.

Never have such good special effects been paired with such spectacularly terrible acting and dialogue. Much like a trainwreck, I couldn't look away.

I rented Morbius last night. The memes made it sound like it would be so bad it was ironically good, but it was just bad boring. The memes were a lie.
