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.
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?
Prometheus. I don’t care how stupid the plot is, and how many holes it has. Its aesthetics are (for the most part) excellent in a way that tickles my brain. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t like it as much the second time though (especially since I saw it in a theater)
Deathstalker 1 & 2, although the second is far superior.
It’s completely tone deaf by any standards, let alone modern ones. Watch as a gang rape is interrupted and turned into what can only be described as a “heroic sexual assault”.
The second swaps out the main actor for a much funnier one, and has probably the catchiest out-of-place theme tune of any movie.
You know you’re watching a terrible movie, but they breeze along and you can’t help but be entertained by it.
Skinamarink. It was truly terrifying for me.
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
For me it was Alice in Wonderland (2010). I really enjoyed the whole “I do six impossible things before breakfast” thing. I was also really drunk when I watched it.
That’s my sister’s favourite movie!
Hey man like what you like. Most reviews are done by people who are WAAAAY to into cinema.
Batman V Superman from 2016.
My local theatre had an early early show: an early morning premiere, a day earlier than the official release date.
In spite of the, frankly, stupid trailer #2, I was still excited to see the first live action movie with Batman and Superman with my fellow nerds.
We came out of the theatre thinking it was a good movie, with Lex Luthor’s odd shenanigans aside (mannerisms, maintaining tabs on meta humans with well designed logos, etc.).
I specifically remember appreciating and talking about the movie’s score (Hans Zimmer), cinematography (Larry Fong), and costumes (Michael Wilkinson and Ironhead Studios).
While driving back, one of us checked the reviews and box office indications, and it was abysmal. The reaction was so bad that there was unspoken agreement between us to never talk about it again in public.
I still like the movie, and like the Ultimate Edition even more. But I wasn’t a fan of all the movies that followed.
E: grammar
as a standalone work, divorced of all context, BvS was a perfectly serviceable movie. I had fun watching it.
2003’s the core. I always loved the semi friendly rivalry between Zimsky and Brazz. And how Keys (the main character) is sort of the glue that holds the team together and I think the cast has a good energy together as a whole. Combine that with genuinely enjoyable yet ridiculous 90’s style end of the world action / world destruction scenes and you got a 10 / 10 in my book.
I like The Core but omg it’s objectively terrible. “Unobtanium” is just a buckyball. The random kid drawing in the notebook just for heartstrings. Them welding power connectors right next to each other on the hull so that even IF their nonsense theory was correct they’d only be 0.01% efficient. Oh, and if the core stopped spinning it wouldn’t get the planet roasted anyway.
But hey, it’s a B movie so I give it some slack.
Joker 2. Laughing my ass of to all the people complaining about how it ruined the image of the joker for them.
I watched Last Action Hero a few years ago for the first time, and it honestly didn’t even feel that dated. It held up!
Oh so I guess that’s mine too. I didn’t even know it had been reviews
I think Last Action Hero is an overall good movie with some flaws.
It takes a little too long to get going, the bit at the front that mostly establishes that his life is kind of dull and he prefers to go to the movies drags a bit. They play the “BECAUSE THIS IS A MOVIE” note a little too often and Slater just outright doesn’t believe him for a little too long, he should have started to buy it before they go out into the real world. And the ending kind of just putters out? The bits where it’s a send-up of action flicks is really fun and it’s worth seeing for that, though I think True Lies is a better loving send-up of action flicks.
Haha, we need to open source movies before production. Put the script on GitHub and check those pull requests!
I like comedies, dumb action movies and horror. So it’s almost everything, just like the person in the meme. lol
The butterfly effect.
I saw it when I was rather young but I thought it was pretty good, apparently people thought it’s edgy.
Should watch it again now and see if it holds up.
Saw it as a teenager. Its edgy but I enjoyed watching it.
Until the prison/stigmata scene that completely broke the movies own rules. The whole fuking point is he goes back in time to change something and he is the only one who knows it. To everyone else that is just how the past has always been. But not in that scene! People actively see the world change due to him changing the past. (Oh and him mutilating himself as a kid changes nothing about his live except for the scars? He ends up in the same jailcell with the same cellmate 25 years later? Sure.) Even as a teenager i realised the gigantic plot hole.
With that scene its a 3/10 movie for me. But not because it is edgy.
saw it a week ago. found out there are 3 different endings. holds up with a few plot holes, but decent.
I saw a version with a different ending (cuz piracy) than that what was widely released in theaters and i really liked it. Have you seen both? Do you know what I’m talking about?
there’s 3 endings. theater one was where he told the girl at the party he hated her, and they never met.
second is he goes back to a baby memory and kills himself or his mom from the womb I think?
third he runs into the girl as an adult after never meeting her, she went to live with her mom instead of the abusive dad.he recognizes her on the street and starts to follow her, roll credits.
No, I saw it in theatres, what happens?
I’ve heard in the theatrical version he goes back and ends his friendship right? In the version i saw
seriously cw warning i warned you
He goes back in to the womb using a sonogram and wraps the umbilical cord around his neck killing himself so he instead never meets her
I saw that version too! Apparently it’s the director’s cut.
I saw it when I was rather young but I thought it was pretty good, apparently people thought it’s edgy.
That’s me, I’m people. Same as you, I remember watching it when I was young and thinking it was a cool mature thriller, but I rewatched it last year for the first time and I was honestly a little shocked at how edgy it seems. Like the first 30 minutes really hammer how much trauma Evan went through, and it just felt really heavy handed.
edit: to be clear I don’t hate The Butterfly Effect, I just remember distinctly thinking how edgy it was on review
Yeah… I don’t care. I watch a movie and accept it for what it is. If I’m entertained for a few hours, great. If not, meh. I don’t need critical opinion.
I agree. I usually do it out of curiosity though. I tend to find, in general, the reviews are on par though.
The number of times I watch something and afterwards am like “that felt kind of shit”, turns out everyone else agrees and I’m wondering why I didn’t check first to save my time.
‘Most’ People on the internet want to ascribe to a hivemind. Basically what the OP is suggesting with this thought exercise regarding films we have watched. It’s very sad, people need to watch a film, make a decision and stop flip flopping cause their group says something else about film.
