Constantine. I’ve seen it dozens of times and it never gets old. Tilda Swinton as Gabriel and Peter Stormare as Satan are a big part of why.
Best Satan
Uhm… no.
Fine. You win
I didn’t know it’s got terrible ratings, love the movie.
The Ice Pirates is a damn fun movie. Very camp 80s sci-fi.
Hot take, I enjoyed Chappie. I don’t care that there’s some self-insert band in there, it’s just a funny robot movie
There’s lots of them but one that hasn’t been mentioned is Sucker Punch. It’s 6.1 on IMDB and 22% on Rotten Tomatoes and I loved the visuals.
Also, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is terrible but everyone needs to watch the opening sequence
I remember Sucker Punch being visually pretty, it was the story and overall vibe that was awful.
Valerian was pretty cool, I have given it 7 in imdb. Seems like it globally has mediocre rating. For comparison I have given 3 for Sucker Punch.
Yeah, the writing wasn’t good and the vibe was real bad, dealing with extreme mental illness and sexual abuse. But for the visuals and the fight scenes it’s great.
We are probably a decade apart, but sucker punch made me walk away. All of the anime CGI faces and action scenes just had me bored. Maybe I wasted all of my Suspension Of Disbelief on pulp sci Fi novels back in the 90s.
I loved The Chronicles of Riddick! It’s bombastic space opera, of which we have much too little that isn’t Star Wars tripe, and Vin Diesel is perfect in this role.
In 2006, a movie was released in which an evil AI is defeated by Shia LeBouf.
The evil AI’s plan? Kill the president!
Why does the AI want to kill the president? he has too much unchecked power and bombed village of innocent people in the middle east and the AI told him not to because it could not confirm if there was actually a terrorist there.
How does Shia LeBouf defeat the evil AI? Opening fire at the capitol to cause a panic.
The war in Iraq was ramping up at the time, how was there not rioting at screenings? How is this not a controversial movie?
The acting is not great, but it deserves better than 27% on Rotten Tomatoes when the message of the film is the government does bad stuff and should be persecuted for it
This is legit the movie I shit on most. I hate it so very much. It’s not the plot exactly, it’s two things:
-
The tech accuracy is so bad. I won’t go into everything but they go out of their way to say shit that doesn’t make sense. My favorite example is that the AI is just a big floating orb and they feed it data through infrared, the slowest communication method available. Like they didn’t have to say infrared, they chose that.
-
The product placement. Again, a lot of examples but my favorite is how at the end he shows up with Guitar Hero and the kids are like “Yay Guitar Hero that’s the best game ever.”
-
A movie can have a good message and still be bad though.
Speed Racer
Freddy got fingered is the most notorious example of a movie with very funny/memorable scenes that got hated.
Palm Springs should have had best movie oscar, much less nominated, is my biggest pet peave.
Honestly I think freddy got fingered wouldve done better if released nowadays.
FGF came out when I was a teenager. Me and my mates would’ve watched that over a hundred times. I can quote pretty much the whole movie. It has its place.
Van Wilder
Soundtrack is incredible, it’s one of Tara Reid’s best roles, the cast is absolutely stacked, and IMO it’s basically Deadpool without the costume. It’s Ryan Reynolds best movie to date, and if he doesn’t return for a second (the sequel doesn’t exist) his career afterwards is ultimately pointless.
Fun fact: the character of Van Wilder is based on the comedian Bert Kreischer who also went to college for way too many years. You might know him for accidentally joining the Russian mafia
Was a junior/senior in high school when that came out. Me and my dudes definitely wanted to be that guy that never graduated and lived on school grounds forever, without realizing how pathetic that life would be .
I’m British, and I’d say that this was probably my first time acknowledging what college is like in America. We can legally drink at 18, but we’ve usually got a year or so of drinking behind us already, so university for us is basically just studying between drinking sessions at a time when it’s legal (and encouraged).
Van Wilder seemed absolutely wild to me, especially the idea of dorms outside of a first year, and all the events that US colleges have for people. The basketball scene especially is wild, because university sports are (again) an excuse to drink with people that like playing basketball. It kinda seemed amazing to me, but yeah, being an older guy around students would be my idea of hell nowadays…
Both Pacific Rim movies!
Meet the Feebles
Oof.
Now I will fall asleep thinking of a crack head rat dry humping a hippo. Truly the Real Garbage Pail Kids gross out movie, but it was too grown up for children and to basic for grown ups.
You’re not wrong
Well that’s certainly a take!
Joker 2. Laughing my ass of to all the people complaining about how it ruined the image of the joker for them.
I liked it as well, they just did remarkably poor with the expectation management prior to screening it.
Or they knew what was coming and wanted to grab the money.
I filtered in IMDb movies where I have voted 7+ while user rating is up to 6 and these jumped out seemingly panned by both critics and users.
- Gods of Egypt. Visually great, standard action story, don’t get the dislike at all.
- Tremors 4: The Legend Begins. I have watched most Tremors movies, have given them 6+. The one I disliked most was Tremors: Shrieker Island which I have rated 3.
- Iron Sky. Do not remember a single thing, but it looks fun. Probably will rematch soon.
Iron Sky is one of those movies that was great the first time I watched it, but when I watched it the second time knowing the plot and where all the jokes were going I realized it was actually pretty terrible (though still with a few funny moments here and there).
If you don’t actually remember any of it, you might enjoy the rewatch.
Iron sky was created after someone played through all the wolfenstein games and then decided to play stellaris. This applies even more heavily to the second one.
Idle Hands is a very late-90s stoner comedy… horror movie. This turns out not to be a winning combination of genres. It works, as both, but the audience is the overlap of a Venn diagram instead of both circles. It’s a stoner movie you absolutely should not watch while stoned.
It’s also packed with now-recognizable names. Seth Green, Jessica Alba, Vivica Fox, Devon Sawa, Elden Henson.
Absolutely bombed.
Dude Where’s My Car?
Nothing spectacular but I thought it was pretty funny. I still remember laughing my ass off at individual scenes. I read ten or eleven reviews of it, and all of them except one said it was the worst movie they had ever seen. Not just bad - the WORST movie they’d EVER seen. Wat?
and then?
Don’t remember much of it besides the tattoo scene, but I recall it being alright for this type of movie. Weaker version of Dumb and Dumber maybe?
Besides the “and then?” speaker somebody mentioned I remember another scene where they have to walk somewhere because the car is gone, and the one guy is sick of walking, seemingly after a time lapse but you can still see their house like 30 ft away.
I watched that again recently and thought it was still funny. Fuck the haters!
