The remake for IT number two. It had way to many comical scenes for a horror movie. It had one scene with a gay couple that didn't mat sense to me. 🤷

I absolutely hate movie star wars. So dull and boring.

Transformers 2 was the most painful film I've been subjected too that I recall. Other people were watching it at a friend's house and I just kept getting up and leaving the room to get away from it. I mean I love "so bad it's good movies" (give me some Surf Nazis Must Die any day!) but f**k me, that thing was utterly unwatchable.

Suckerpunch is up there too. I mean if you can put that many scantily clad, hot women in a movie and I still can even stomach it, you've gone so wrong.

Venom is the one that comes immediately to mind when I think of recent examples. Incredibly bad, like, to the point where it made me angry for the time I lost watching it. Dishonorable mentions include The Last Jedi, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Suburbicon.

There are other movies you watch though knowing they’re bad going into it. Like Geostorm or Skyscraper or The Meg. They’re stupid and horrible but they’re at least entertaining.

are you viewing those films as a regular audience spectator for entertainment or as an aspiring filmmaker, L.A.? which is not to say, you can't do both

Congo - it had a gorilla that signed (i know they do exist) and it had a machine on its wrist that vocalised the signing. Uhh... lots of s**t acting and terrible 'bad gorilla' suits. Not even Tim Curry or Bruce Campbell could save it.

Most of the ones I listed were for film school. Except TED, that was my family's choice.

Others I forgot to list are After Earth, Lucy, The Forbidden Zone, Citizen Kane, Transformers series (Michael Bay).

I also have a sort of love, sort of hate relationship with A Clockwork Orange

I thought A Clockwork Orange was incredibly overrated, same goes for Full Metal Jacket and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Not a fan of any of them.

Justice league, I nearly turned it off 3 times, but forced myself to the end just so that it was watched and that I wouldnt be tempted to retry it after half watching it, thus repeating what I'd already seen.

Blade runner 2049, the runtime wouldnt have been so bad if it had've been more like the first one. Some films need to be long to fulfill its contents, this on the other hand was long due to bad film making with a extremely drawn out story, and being allowed to be over long for a theatrical cut. Even Ridley Scott said "It was too f**king long".

I think it would be kind of interesting to critique a movie through the lens of being a film student. What kinds of things are you looking for that maybe the average viewer isn’t?

LazyArtist

Nov 5, 2019 17:16

Well to be fair I'm not the best judge of cinema. I tend to enjoy things that are absurd or that stand out for their unique content. I'm typically paying the most attention to sets, props, costumes, creature design, and effects.

Wilhemina_SeaHag, please, on behalf of most here, will you STFU with your incoherent rambling!

Deleted User

Nov 6, 2019 01:26

You remind me of when I was in undergrad and did some film studies; we can get so wrapped up in taking in all the technical techniques of a movie like its composition of angles and shots that the obvious point you were making passed me by: those movies you mentioned, many of them, are are about violence and degradation, especially against women, Laze. You have proven the Chron. guy wrong when he said in his post, that we live in a 'gynocentric society'; we sure don't and statistics also prove it, hell, even this pervert Zed's talk to that young Wiccan girl about wanting to use anal pumps, etc. shows that.

It's just that when it comes to studying movies, it helps to have some of that Tarantino-enthusiasm about them, especially the ones who are exceptionally good and to not stay focused on your own preferred genre; the things you pick up from other genres can get transferred to the one you work in. Same thing applies to bands, when influences get hidden or absorbed into the music from somewhere else, it will help in your distinct cinematic style.

I understand the importance of thr cinematic pieces I watched it's not lost on me. But the experience was so unsavory I just cannot ignore it. I appreciate the techniques and the process, but if the content is not to my taste I'm not going to pretend to like it.

Mortal Engines looked like a nonsensical CGI nightmare. Cities on tank treads? It’s a cool idea for a steampunk painting, but it kinda breaks down as the basis of an epic narrative given three seconds worth of thought.

I'm usually quite good with films, if I know it's going to be a bag of s**te, I won't watch it.

Deleted User

Dec 1, 2019 21:05

To me, if I watch a movie and it's actually s**t, then it's because it genuinely s**t in my opinion.

I don't go to movies and investigate every possible detail hoping to find a flaw or 3 just so I can go "well there are 3 mistakes, the movie is trash"

Like a lot of the MCU movies, are they brilliant movies with the best stories ever? No they're not, they have massive plot holes in most of them and some take ideas from the comic books, Disney those ideas, then spit them out in a movies, but from an entertainment standpoint, I think they're fun and enjoyable.

One of my all time favourite movies, Kingdom of Heaven, the is based on actual historical characters and events, but has tiny marginal historical accuracy, but 98% of it has fiction rather than fact.

But my God to I love that movie.The Director's extended edition is way better, it fills in gaps in the story.

Deleted User

Dec 2, 2019 08:04

Totally agreed about Kingdom of Heaven. Ridley Scott historical epics don’t tend to be historically accurate but damn if they aren’t still entertaining as hell anyway. The director’s cut makes all the difference in the world for that movie.

Dec 2, 2019 20:07

In terms of worst films I've seen at the cinema, I'm torn between Home Alone 3 (which was truly awful without Macualay Culkin), L.A.Story (which I walked out of) and the Blair Witch Project, which despite the hype was little more of than someone running around with a very shaky camera whilst a girl repeated gives off high pitched screams...horror it wasn't!
