There's the good movie thread i enjoy and the matrix sucks thread made me think about all the movies I've watched that fucking suck so why not call some out. I'm ignoring anything with no budget etc but top 3 stinkers of 2021 for me are
F9: right off the bat I'm not a fan of this franchise but I honestly can't see why anybody is. Even for mindless action there's no actual stunts it's just shitty 2008 looking CGI. Movie constantly slows down for bad acting/nobody could possibly give a shit back story. Nathalie Emmanuals dialogue is 90% just literally explaining what's happening for the audience and then just being part of the comedy releif which not a single person on earth finds funny. Over an hour in they're still introducing characters every ten minutes. It's not funny enough for how dumb it is.
Chaos walking: this just sucked. A total chore to watch. Nothing works. The basic gimmick of the movie is fucking broken and annoying.
Shadow in the cloud: it's just the actress face for like an hour then when the action starts it's too fucking stupid. Tries so hard to be a positive female role model it does the opposite. The climax of the movie the woman rips off her sleeves to fight the monster but has zero muscle somehow barehand kills it then gets a tit out to breastfeed a baby. All completely done sincerely. So dumb no fun.

I’ll just add my two cent’s here it seems to me like the day they stopped using practical effects ie true movie sets green screens creature fx puppets and replaced it with overrated technology and cgi the movie industry is floundering.
Hence remakes/reboot nothing original, which is why blumhouse and other horror movies are killing it, cheap to make and the right story and practical effects you’ve got a blockbuster.
My movies I liked
The Void
Conjuring series (sure cheesy and boo scary but suffice it to say it ain’t bad)
Hereditary
Halloween series and other slashers are my favorite movies.
-
I gave up movies ages ago.. until I though "well, how bad could new Bladerunner be?"... I'll never watch a movie again.
-
The Irishman kind of sucks. I absolutely love Martin Scorsese films, this one overrated. I have attempted to watch it 2X.
The beginning great then just drags on
-
Saw the new spiderman, it was fine but I'm completely over watching any comic book shit ever again

Yeah, it's almost like doing that shit for 15 years gets a bit old...
-

I have a love/hate with marvel movies and i feel kind of similar to you. They all have a similar feel to it and it gets a bit repetitive (the "relatable" humor, the story arc, post-credit cliff hanger, joke that was originated from the internet, etc.). Objectively, amazing movies, but so formulaic
-
I told myself i wouldn't watch any more of these things after endgame, but the family all really wanted to watch the new spiderman on Christmas so i bit the bullet to not be the grinch. It was cool seeing all the villains back, but I'm so over all these self aware cameos and having spiderman telling spiderman "you rock, have some self care"
-
fuck it, i liked the new spiderman even as a 30 year old. I loved spiderman as a kid and have no shame.
The new matrix was awful though. Jada pinkett looks like a fucking klingon and she is a terrible actress.
-
Free Guy. I thought a bit of fluff was needed while my girl and I were waiting for covid tests, but I think my anxiety precipitated some over-critical rage. Genuinely irritated by the 8 minute plot stretched over however long, that was cobbled together from someone's recent rewatch of Truman Show and The Matrix... where some soulless husk also thought the last third should just be a multi-meta advertising cumshot of other Disney properties. The idea that if you include enough affable dudes (Waititi, Reynolds, Not-Jean-Ralphio) then wink-wink factory-made comedy quipping becomes real humor. Wasted Lil' Rel. My girlfriend's anger over including a whispercore cover of Fantasy by Mariah...in the same movie where you've played the unfuckwithable original multiple times.. was funnier than anything on the screen.
But hey, everyone else I know seemed to like it, so maybe I'm just being a prick. Tests were negative.
-
Werewolves within: shit. Tedious. It's about 90 mins but drags on and on feels like double that length. Never funny, never scary, terrible special effects, boring action.
-
"I care alot" on Netflix
One of the most irritating, implausible plot lines ever
-
'Old' the M. Knight Shyamalan flick that came out later last year sometime was comically bad. I kinda recommend watching it
-
Not completely terrible but mostly bad/meh the new Texas chainsaw massacre. I'm not going to pretend I'm some super horror fan but I've seen tons and this is just dead centre.
Acting is decent, story is fine enough for a dumb slasher thing, cinematics good. Special effects pretty chat mostly CG garbage.
I'm going to sound like an old fuddy duddy but I just don't see the point. Horror movies arent actually scary so make it more fun like final destination or nightmare on elm Street etc
Personal pet peeve is wedging in a bunch of lazy woke shit/social commentary. Not that I'm anti woke or anything but it's just not really the place for it.
I guess it's a good movie for someone who hasn't seen other horror movies.
-
Not a movie, but a TV show. I think ‘1883’ on paramount+ Sucks. As a fan of westerns I was excited, plus Sam Elliott is in it. But so far it’s been a big letdown. I’d be interested to hear if anyone else has been watching it and how they feel about it.
-
I have also been watching it, and I think it's excellent. Isabel May is going to become a huge star off of this show.

Yeah I mean I’ve got no beef with the acting per se. She strikes me as a less annoying Jennifer Lawrence.

Independance day was so bad. I remember being so angry after walking out of the theater. What a shit show . Will never get those hours back.
-
Kimi may have been ok 30 years ago.
A tech worker just needs to hand deliver evidence to the FBI or reach a pay phone before the bad guys get her. She's both a computer genius and agoraphobic--just text or email that shit.
-
I kinda wanted this thread to be for bad movies that for various reasons should of been good (budget, cast, hype) but weren't. There's way too many just outright bad movies. But I'll go against my own plan and have to mention "vanquish" I couldn't even get thru twenty mins. It looks like utter dogshit every scene is completely green red or blue. Ruby Rose is the biggest con in modern cinema. I don't know how these production companies all get fooled into casting her at least Nick cage and Bruce Willis were good thirty years ago she was already bad before she even started acting and was just some skate event criddler
-
The king's man
Real messy. They must of had enough footage for two movies. Don't know who it's aimed at the other kingsmen movies were basically silly James Bond for teenagers but I think teenagers will be completely bored by this one. feels like it goes on for hours. Big finale is dumb/doesn't even make sense. Pet peeve every other line of dialogue has "fuck/fucking" not that I'm against swearing but it just feels lazy and doesn't even fit in with this movie. Don't remember what it was rated but felt like they were trying to seem more adult/serious with some violence and language but it's for the intelligence of a 7th grader
Forgot to mention (SPOILER) it does some alt reality ww1 stuff that's kinda insulting for anyone who was involved with ww1/families etc. Like no the reality didn't exist it was all our silly movie characters that did everything. Also after credits scene that's just completely baffling to why anyone involved would think it's a good idea. Especially the poor actor who must of got talked into it because it can't be good for someone's career
-
Most of the superhero movies and also all the new star wars movies and that boba fett show was terrible
-
The Great Wall, muddled, unrememberable, it just didn't take.
-
95% of what’s on Netflix and my exes made me watch instead of puffin to Palasonic or some shit.
I had to sit through hours of absolute fucking shite. Without being able to fully express how fucking shite that was.
Last straw was the fire stick or whatever that’s called. Gateway to even more garbage.
Never went full stupid tho like my flatmate and his ex used to watch these Polish black and white films with obscure subs or something. I would walk in the lounge after a bit with both of them passed out haha.
I mostly don’t bother myself. I’d rather watch the big Lebowski for the 101th time instead.
-
Watched Halloween Kills last night; what a waste of my night.
-
Snake eyes
I have zero interest in any gi Joe stuff and had already heard it was a bad movie but often I find I get surprised by movies everyone says are bad and find them to be ok. Not this time.
Fight scenes filmed kinda trash. That too many cuts with camera jumping around style. I missed a 15min chunk in the middle when satellite went out but it came back with some absolutely awful CGI. Then SPOILER it just fucking ends.
Also I know this could be my tv but I literally had to adjust the volume for the entire length of the movie. I watch movies everyday and it happens but it's pretty rare. usually I find the right setting and it's all good but this one was wacko. Can't hear any dialogue then boom the speakers are newly being blown out by backing music.
-
The newest Mortal Kombat was pretty lame. Tried too hard to be funny but there were fatalities from Deadly Alliance which shocked me.
Halloween Kills was absolute dogshit but I’m looking forward to the 3rd one just so I can see how they tie it up.
I just want a 3rd Sicario and 28 Months Later already.
-
North Hollywood.
I wanted to give it the full benefit of not paying attention to all the awful reviews/opinions but now have to say it's not good. It's not completely awful but it's pretty pointless.
Feels like there's about twenty five minutes of actual movie and the rest is a ton of filler. Maybe would of actually been better if it was done cheaper/smaller scale. A lot of style over substance. Maybe I'm too old too I'm sure when I was 13 I would of been so psyched on actual skateboarding in a movie but now it's just distracting. The whole movie just stops to watch someone skate a hip for a few mins just completely stalling the flow
-
'Old' the M. Knight Shyamalan flick that came out later last year sometime was comically bad. I kinda recommend watching it
Just watched it. It's like actually broken. Bad acting and dialogue which would be fine in a dumb horror/thriller type thing but was especially bad this time. SPOILERS there's like 5 scenes in a row where the people on the beach go like hey something's not right here. Like you just saw something bizarre but now for no reason can't believe something else strange happened. Also there's no cleverness to the ending. They never work as a team and solve the problem.
-
The Wave, completely derivative, cliche, and boring. Corporate stiff explores hallucinogens with an overuse of psychedelic visuals. Superficial philosophical introspection which the film circlejerks itself into the stratosphere.
-
Liam neesons the ice road.
One of those It's so fucking bad it becomes good. Or not good but weirdly watchable. I watched old last night and that felt actually broken. like dumb dialogue with bad acting. This is the same but it's completely cheesy so it kinda works. Every time a new fast and furious comes out I try watch it but usually just give up. This is so much better. I wish they tried justa little bit harder to put some intentional laughs in rather than laughing at how dumb the dialogue is. "The ice is going to keep cracking for another 2 or 3 thousand metres" " oh god that's more than a mile!"
Since whenever "the meg" came out I've been more aware or movies being written in a way that sounds asbergersy but it's because it's for a foreign market. This is a mix of that but also for English speaking dumdumz. Every line is just explaining as plainly as possible what's happening in the movie.

Out of death. (Maybe worst movie title ever, sounds like a parody of a 90s action movie)
At this point there's no real reason to even watch a Bruce Willis movie other than to laugh at how bad it is. Weirdly this one is by far the best of the last ten or more. Bruce Willis is probably the worst part of the movie but it's the best he has been for a couple of years. Looks like he is mostly actually on site altho the whole movie looks like it's either shot on a golf course or in someone's backyard. Probably shot in a weekend. Some real bad acting on his part and some bizarre sounding ADR. If Willis wasn't in it I'd say it's a relatively decent amateur movie.

Those new Bruce Willis movies are wild. Word is he has some sort of cognitive decline (dementia?). He's staunchly anti-union and won't work with any of the major guilds. Evidently, he made like ten of these trainwrecks? I've only seen the first 20 mins of Apex before calling it quits.

I can't even remember if I watched all of apex. Most of them I just give up on. That sort of grungy sci fi look is maybe my least favourite movie asthetic of the last five years. Out of death is just like maybe a cast of ten people max and four of them just run back and forth in front of some trees and then in a house. Without the actors would probably cost maybe 5-10 grand. Genuinely seems like a student film.
-
So many bad new movies, I feel I should bring the thread's vibe up a bit.
Morbius. The Best movie ever made, and it hasn't even been released yet.
Featuring Jared Leto. The Man himself.
Morbius will win every Oscar. The poets will tell of Morbius in all the years to come.
Morbius will be the first movie in history t

This got confirmed yesterday, or at least I read it yesterday. Anyway, he has just quit acting for good due to worsening conditions.

While that is a bummer it doesn't make any of those 35+ awful "movies" any better. Altho I wonder if people will start thinking positively about them. That would kinda suck it wouldnt be good for his legacy and he prob wouldn't make any more money just the sketchy companies that own the movies would.
Also unrelated to Bruce Willis saw about ten mins of "me you madness" and it looked like total dogshit

Me you madness is a vanity project for Louise Linton bankrolled by her husband, Steve mnuchin. They blew the entire budget on clearing all the tracks that they play throughout the movie. Also feat. that chuck bass loser from gossip girl or whatever who recently got metoo'd. Just a lovely group of people all around

It is rather reckless of me to ask for a continuation of a couple of my favorite franchises huh? All these years I waited for Blade Runner 2049 (which I thought was amazing btw) and then they announced an animated series which I was hyped on but I couldn’t even get through the teaser trailer. Too much of a good thing I suppose.

Run hide fight
Who the fuck thought this was in any way a good idea. End to end brain breaking why you'd make this. Main actress kinda bad. Or been given direction that doesn't work. Bad writing with some bad acting, altho some pretty decent. Actual filmmaking is good weirdly. Seems it was made fairly cheap so there's that.
Edit: I actually bailed half way thru but came back because I hate myself. It only gets worse and dumber. Very dumb ending and then credits song jeeeeeeeeezus

Exactly how i felt. The art direction and all that is great, but holy shit the story felt like a whole lot of nothing. Could’ve cut an hour…
After rewatching Nolan’s Batman after, i am little spoiled. The writing in all of them is cohesive.

I generally want to know nothing about films before I see them (or in the case of shit movies like this don't even know they exist before seeing them) but knowing that now it's kind of weird that it wasn't super conservative right wing gun nut etc. It was just a bad idea for a movie and kinda badly written and acted by a few (extra unfortunately the main character). It's actually annoying because there's kind of a good movie in there. If it was changed from a school shooting with teens to a bank robbery with adults or something it could of even possibly worked. But I guess that would just be die hard.

I mean it is pretty pro gun in the dumbest way, which is like "if only this stone cold operator child was allowed to pack heat in school, she could smoke any school shooter" which is a completely ludicrous solution. The hero of the film is a dead eyed freak kid who loves to kill other teens and animals.

Watched just under thirty mins of "the bubble". Realised I hadn't even come close to laughing once. Now I can't think of the last comedy movie I saw that was actually consistently funny

Saw it in theaters 3 times in a week and a half. It grew on me. Atmosphere is outta this world great. Loved Dune too. Denis Villeneuve is great at creating a trippy ambience

Recently watched Mr. Right. It was terribly cheesy, quirky in all the wrong ways, and utterly tone deft. The director must have debilitating lead poisoning or have been completely out to lunch. Just when you think it couldn't jump the shark any higher, it takes off into a transoceanic flight. The knife-throwing scene, in particular, was egregious:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytO-JPeCzD4
Scat porn has more intrinsic value than this shitshow.

Same, it felt like it was gonna be 2 hours of covid quarantine jokes, just straight up tone deaf and boring to add insult to being unfunny.

Watched maybe ten more mins. Still garbage I've had enough. Had to look up why one actor was so bad like were they really a til tok person. No it's the directors daughter. And I guess we needed a five minute montage of the directors wife roller skating too.

I gave up movies ages ago.. until I though "well, how bad could new Bladerunner be?"... I'll never watch a movie again.
I really liked it. Long, the plot moved in an old-school slower way, but I thought it was good.
In contrast, I gave the Star Wars sequels a fair shake.
Thought the first one was ok, until I got to the Cantina rip-off scene, followed promptly by the ‘Dagobah tree scene’ and the basically the ‘whole last half of Episode 4’, and I was like ‘don’t they have the budget to hire people to write an original story’?
I went to episode 8 against my better judgement, and walked out feeling like Disney emotionally manipulated me to steal my money. I want that money back.
I didn’t bother with episode 9, which by all accounts I heard was the right choice.
I haven’t been to the theaters much since, but really wanted to see DUNE.
-
I'm speechless...
-
bladerunner 2049 was sick ikobrakai is probably a fuckin rutger hauer type replicant
-
I'm speechless...
It was beautifully shot, the story was interesting in similar ways to the original, raised questions about technology and its applications, and didn’t seem to fall back on cliches or cheap tropes, I thought it was all in all pretty good.
It didn’t move fast, compared to modern movies it could be a bit boring, if that’s what you want in a sci fi film noir.
But the first Blade Runner wasn’t a big hit with most people either.
What didn’t you like about it?
-
Well, the OG is subtle, classy, raw and groundbreaking. 2049 is too in your face, lacks eligance and has the shittiest second half ever, unlike OG that ramps up and gets even better...
I fucking hate myself for saying this but OG is Gino, 2049 is Jagger Redbull, or whatever the fuck his name is.

In your face how? I thought it was very subtle, many scenes where it lets you figure out for yourself what’s going on instead of spoonfeeding you. The only thing I didn’t like about it is Jared Leto, especially after finding out David Bowie was supposed to play Wallace.

I went to episode 8 against my better judgement, and walked out feeling like Disney emotionally manipulated me to steal my money. I want that money back.
I didn’t bother with episode 9, which by all accounts I heard was the right choice.
I haven’t been to the theaters much since, but really wanted to see DUNE.
DUNE was excellent. Highly recommend.
I didn't see any of the new star wars. Probably never will.
-
Fuck, I don't feel like turning this topic into a sperg essay. But just like you see the Neo Star Wars is how I see Bladerunner 2049.
Speaking of Star Wars, those idiots at Disney should turn Jedi Fallen Order cannon. That shit was so damn good!
-
They should do a star wars but without any Jedi shit. It was a galaxy wide war that went for who knows how long. Plenty of regular people would of been fighting/ surviving. There's gotta be a few interesting stories there. Especially since the whole thing is just copy some other war movie but do it in space

Well, the OG is subtle, classy, raw and groundbreaking. 2049 is too in your face, lacks eligance and has the shittiest second half ever, unlike OG that ramps up and gets even better...
I fucking hate myself for saying this but OG is Gino, 2049 is Jagger Redbull, or whatever the fuck his name is.
2049 is in your face ?

Don't breathe 2
Movie itself isn't bad. It's as good as it could be BUT if you watch in standard def with any lights on in your house/at daytime you won't be able to see shit. Even with no light it's still pretty hard to make out what's happening for a lot of it.

Gunpowder milkshake
Not terrible but not good. Can't tell if it cost 100 million or 5 million. Not sure what youd call this new genre like John wick, hotel artimis, polar but also I think trying to be a bit funny like umbrella academy. Can't completely knock it it technically works and I made it thru to the end. Don't think the actors really had to try hard because it's mostly hammy. Definatly overly long tho. Not sure if it's based on a comic or something but there's definatly way you could of changed some scenes and cut 30+ mins out.

Pattison is still super unlikable, corny predictable plot. Drab uninteresting settings, generic 2 dimensional mob movie stereotype characters

-
Endangered species.
Knew this was gonna be trash but just wanted to see what level. All characters are proper dumb/kinda pointless. Terrible CG. Story doesn't make much sense but that's expected for this sort of thing. Jerry O Connell must of been on set for about 24 hours. Filmed on location tho so that's something.
Couldn't help but do a bit of "research" seems like a lot of one (I'm guessing wealthy) family involved. Also did another terrible movie set in Africa called rogue with mega fox. A lot of overlap altho that ones actually a bit dumber.

Was gonna watch dune last night but went with Old (the new M. Night Shyamalan movie) instead for whatever reason. Big mistake, it was terrible

The suicide squad (the newer one)
Feel bad saying it's bad but it was very disappointing. Maybe my fault because I actually had been waiting to see it for a while so maybe my expectations were too high but overall I found it pretty boring and overly long.
I think I'm also over the super graphic violence out of place gimmick. Like maybe if you just did it once or twice it would have more impact but it's just unneeded at this point.
SPOILERS also they already did the whole bait and switch thing in Deadpool 2 where they introduce a cast of characters and just immediately kill them off. If anything I wanted to see the movie with the dead characters more than the ones they kept. Overall I just expected a tighter and punchier movie and it all felt pretty stock/bland.

I fully accept it's just mostly my opinion not matching the masses. It just didn't get me laughing. I felt like it was just really flat. As I said I feel like they killed the characters that would of been interesting pretty early and left me with three straightmen. King sharks not my sense of humour and I think I've got Harley Quinn fatigue (I never even made it all the way thru her individual movie)
Add on: the really shitty thing is I have a lot to say about it where as there's a thousand new movies every year that I'll watch fifteen minutes of and be like ok fuck this it sucks and switch it off. I would say tho I'll probably rewatch it at some point and I couldn't say that about any other (especially DC) super hero movie
-
Reminiscence
This thing sucked. Way too long and really not interesting. Sci fi premise kinda pointless. General setup decent but wasted. Most of the dialogue was just characters saying what's happening. I've probably seen too many movies and shows but generally a noir has a sort of unexpected turn and with this it was just exactly what I thought it was going to be to the point of I didn't even realise it was meant to be a twist.
-
Senior moment
Weirdly compelling made it to the end. I guess it's technically a comedy probably aimed to old people. Nothing really happens tho. In 90 mins it's just a bunch of scenes that often don't really connect or would even matter what order they were put in. Pretty flat sometimes just seems like just an excuse for Shatner to see a girl in a bikini or drive a sportscar but mostly fairly inoffensive
-
American night.
Yet another of whatever genre this is called (pop noir?) Like polar,hotel artimis, gunpowder milkshake etc. All the same cheese you've seen a hundred times by now down to a shootout to an old pop song. These things have replaced the zombie/infected horror movie for lazy shit that comes out every other month.

Was gonna watch dune last night but went with Old (the new M. Night Shyamalan movie) instead for whatever reason. Big mistake, it was terrible
honestly, that movie was so bad I almost enjoyed watching it just thinkin how they probably never say "no" to Shyamalan and his shitty ideas lol. I remember all the characters just talking about their jobs. from what I gathered it's just a movie about exploring different careers
-
Interceptor
Technically works. Story makes sense, okish acting, nice sets, nice to not completely awful special effects but overall really flat and feels very dated. Like a Steven Seagal type movie from the late 80s/early 90s. Main actor sucks tho and everything to do with them that isn't part of the actual plot is a total drain. How did they get the part? Oh it's Chris Hemsworth a wide. Hemsworth cameo at first is ok but then they cut back to him more than some actual characters in the film. Watchable but not good.

Old was super shitty. It almost brought up some interesting ideas about aging but then was like “nah, let’s get down to a dumb twist, have characters act ridiculously, and never linger on any of the difficult aspects of the protagonists’ journey.

The card counter.
Give it a miss. Feels like they just gave up half way thru. Interesting premise and decent acting wasted.

Thanks, was on the fence about watching this one, trailer had some promise but gave a weird low budget, "this movie takes place mostly in 1 room because of said budget" vibe

Jurassic World Dominion. Big surprise since the last 4 were increasingly awful. IMAX projector broke down 15 minutes in and I felt a sigh of relief it was so bad. Pirates of the Caribbean might have had a better success rate as a franchise

Leprechaun origins (2021)
Just stay the fuck away from this. Absolute bottom of the barrel dogshit not associated with the leprechaun series in any way.

Top Gun Maverick was a pretty dry, joyless affair. The stunts are cool but the entire thing felt like a nostalgia piece from a better time in America. Jennifer Connelly 10/10 smokeshow though.

OLD wasn't great but I will say, what's crazy about M. Night is that after The Visitor (a blumhouse micro-budget horror film that was meh) he self-finances his entire productions. Dollar for dollar. So any profit made at the box office/rentals/streaming he gets a FAT percentage. Like 85%. And then uses the profit to make his next film. Kind of a cool thing but the problem is there's no one to tell him "No." or "what if we changed...."

Last night in Soho
Didn't really do it for me. I guess it's kinda a homage to Giallo films which is cool in theory but everything digital/CGI looks chat. Any unique camera work or effects become kinda meh. Story takes a while to get into then the ends sorta lacking. Main actors voice is tuf too but that's a personal opinion

Probably my favourite of the series…..I haven’t seen the remake yet…

I don’t doubt part of that is true, but he also has to find a distributor (Universal for Old) who invests costs in Prints and Advertising, etc which is more expensive than you’d think.
The situation you describe is more akin to Star Wars ep 1-3

Im just watching the last Matrix movie now. Im 32, so the original trilogy was popping when I was a teen, so it made a huge impact on me and all my school buddies. Part of why I love science fiction now so much.
Anyway, this one fucking sucks. I like Keanu, he is cool as fuck in this, but what a waste of time. I have an hour left, and just cant keep watching to save my life, I keep checking SLAP instead..

Dangerous (2021)
Scott Eastwood seems like a dick. Not just his character but the actual person. Why always take these lame roles? They aren't cool. Basically some people shoot other people while Scott Eastwood half does an impression of his dad while clearly being a foot shorter and having about a hundredth of the charisma. SPOILER ALERT (but who cares don't watch this) Also the bad guys in this movie never tell the good guys what they are actually looking for. Literally all they'd have to say is "we want the gold" and none of the movie would happen.

Aside from the cinematography, Lady Gaga looking fine, and Al Pacino being in it, House Of Gucci was pretty boring and discombobulated.

I saw the gentlemen yesterday, and i came into it really wanting to like it as a guy ritchie fan and for a movie full of actors that i love, fuck it was bad. And really racist too. Like what the fuck, there was some early 2000s unfunny Asian and gay jokes. Just hack garbage

Resident evil: welcome to racoon city
So had to watch this twice, first time got to the end and thought it must of fucked up and skipped a chunk or I fell asleep or something because I couldn't remember a single thing that happened. Watched it again and no it's just that forgettable. Maybe if you're a fan of the franchise it has stuff in it you'll like but for a normal person who's been buried in zombie (or infected if you're one of those people) movies and shows for the last 20 years there's really nothing new or interesting here.

Yeah, the original has a cool spooky vibe. Tbh, John Carpenter had a hell of a run in the 80s, just banger after banger. I never checked for much of his 90s stuff, but, oh man, he had the 80s on lock, his scores were ill too.

Had to resurrect this thread to say that The Black Phone does not live up to the hype whatsoever. At first, I gave it an 8.5/10, but after a few days of thinking about it, I'd give it a solid 5/10.
Thin characters, thin plot, got to the point way too fast. Only positives I can mention are the filming and acting were well done.

I wanted so badly for it to be a good, scary movie, but that shit just fell so flat after the plot was revealed. Too much reliance upon jump scares that really weren't scary.

Finally got round to watching moonfall. Could only get thru maybe thirty mins but I think I'll come back later. I knew it was meant to be trash but thought it might be fun trash, so far not but maybe once the actually finally starts.
It's unfortunately in my least favourite trend of new movies that are American/english but clearly made for a foreign audience. Even tho everyone is speaking English in any back and forth dialogue nobody talks like a regular person, it's like the audio version uncanny valley.
Also every side character is fat and/or stupid.

Scream (2022)
Had very low expectations but like most people my age scream was the horror series of our time so might as well check it out. Scream was already this weird self aware commentary but this one went way too far, maybe I just was in the wrong mood but felt like they were just loving the smell of their own farts. Kinda reminded me of that ghostbusters how it's kinda shitting on it's own fanbase, altho obviously nowhere near as bad as what ghostbusters did.
Spoiler: also just turns into glorified good guy with a gun beats bad guy

I saw it in the theatre and thought it was terrible. The mask was so cringey and lame to me along with the name "The Grabber" and that little girl swearing was not remotely funny. There were surely more things I hated about it but it was so unmemorable I cannot recall them anymore. My favourite part was Ziggy from The Wire super high on coke trying to solve the mystery.

Had to tap out of the matrix resurrections. Don't know if they changed it for streaming but it doesn't look like a movie, looks kinda like that cobra kai show. Keep doing that weird frame rate thing that was very popular in the early 00s. Maybe it's a throwback to the og matrix but I don't really remember. Ok the movies meta and kind of a homage to the originals. An hour and a half in and barely anything has happened. it's so slowly paced which would be ok if it wasn't also a cheesy action movie. So much exposition dumping.
Guess since it's kinda funny wish it was a bit funnier and maybe just a bit shorter because it was a bit of a chore

Finally saw jackass forever. Not the biggest jackass fan and expectations were already very low but just thought the whole thing was kinda sad. I know there's a ton of movie magic editing involved but everything in this one felt particularly fake. "Oh my god you're putting honey on me? And now salmon!" Pretty much every line of dialogue is just them yelling exactly what's happening incase anyone watching somehow doesn't get it. Reminded me of that shitty British version of jackass from back whenever that was.

Got home late last night and decided to give Oculus a chance. Absolute dogshit of a movie. The cinematography was absolutely awful and the acting, if you want to call it that, was even worse.

I just saw the new Hellraiser and wasn't a fan of it, which sucks because I love the og one and was really looking forward to this. The plot was way too convoluted and none of the characters were particularly interesting. There are a handful of cool scenes that pay homage to the og one and it's first sequel.

Hellraiser in general is kind of a weird franchise. I first saw them when I was about seven and obviously didn't get it I just thought oooh scary guts man in the roof.

So I don't get how a new one is supposed to be interesting yeah it's thousands of hours of work but something about cg just isn't interesting. And I'm sure heaps of it was practical but the whole movie was already meh dumb dark CGI who cares.

i’ll ride for 3 too, while it’s not actually good like 1 and 2, is enjoyable in a fun/dumb way. i’ll even apply that to 4 as well, to a lesser extent.
i rewatched the new one because my wife wanted to see it and i have to say it’s not so bad the second time around. there’s a lot i didn’t like but it’s absolutely miles ahead of most of the other sequels, not that that is saying a lot. i’m a sucker for the hellraiser lore and i thought that aspect was handled well.
halloween ends was so stupid and weird that i actually kind of liked it. a really nonsensical ending to DGG’s halloween trilogy. makes me want to rewatch halloween kills, which i thought was terrible.

Ambulance (2022)
I've heard den of thieves being referred to as "shitty heat". Ambulance would be shitty den of thieves. It's so corny tho you'd think it has to be self aware. Still gotta say I don't hate it, it's kind of fun in a so bad it's good kind of way.

How’d you like the flashbacks to their childhood that looked like they took place in the 1950s instead of the 90s

Least of the movies problems. One of those you'd really hope cops and paramedics aren't like that in real life movies

Trust me. Only one movie and one tv show have ever come anywhere close to representing what being a paramedic is like: Bringing Out The Dead, and Sirens.

Skateshop (2021)
Almost feel bad bringing this up but kinda want people to watch it too. Anyone familiar with trailer boys (Sam and Nate from whitest kids) it's almost samdering but not, rlm fans almost a black tank top but totally not either.
Most stock storyline ever which would be fine/probably actually good but there's no comedy or at least no good comedy.
Everything revolves around an old guys skate shop (who I'm suspecting probably wrote it) and classic heartless developers want to evict him and it's up to the wacky skaters to save the day.
I feel mean laughing but it's got a lot of classic movie making mistakes that are kinda funny but it's no the room or anything.
If the creators or anyone involved lurks on here tell some stories

Watched Godzilla (2019) last night and the only redeeming factor was the fact that I've always wanted to see a modern representation of Godzilla v King Ghidorah. Such a dogshit movie filled with nothing. At least the final fight was decent enough.

Amsterdam
Not awful, watchable but wasn't that great. Acting was good story was fine but for a kind of detectivey noiry sort of thing it didn't have much twisty turny going on.
Overall the edit just felt really flat especially for what was going on. Also a little long and felt like every 5-10 minutes they had to make it very clear a new very famous actor was now in the movie

Everything Everywhere All at Once
Don't know how anybody thought this was good in any way. Managed to make it about halfway thru but had to bail (Prob finish it at some point tho). It just felt like a very annoying music video that never ends

Hellraiser in general is kind of a weird franchise. I first saw them when I was about seven and obviously didn't get it I just thought oooh scary guts man in the roof. Then way way later I appreciated all the work and just thought the movie was passable. So I don't get how a new one is supposed to be interesting yeah it's thousands of hours of work but something about cg just isn't interesting. And I'm sure heaps of it was practical but the whole movie was already meh dumb dark CGI who cares.
The first two are the only ones worth a shit.
For real
Which one had the CD DJ cenobite?
The new one sucked, imo. Insufferable protagonist. I will admit that the degloving shit had me wincing. I thought seeing the different configurations was cool, but that’s about it. Doug Bradley is my mfing Pinhead
