I'm very frustrated this week because I've wasted my download bandswitch on movies that are complete rubbish (in my humble opinion) although it has high rating on IMDb so this thread will be for movies that you don't recommend us to watch.

I'll begin myself :

The Wolfman (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780653/)


http://i49.tinypic.com/5vnn6x.png

A repeated story without any actual horror.

My rating : 4/10

What about you?

6 on imdb means no need to watch for me:lol:

But yes, it was kinda lame comparing to let's say "4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days" which has a similar content but it's way better.

phew....i could list hundreds of movies ranging from bad to fuc*ing awful :rolleyes:

the thing is, after a while it starts to get annoying, all those half-done and amateurish daydreams or blockbuster formulaic or outright preaching movies or cgi (re)loaded, yet virtually no contents worth mentioning or cliched one-dimensional characters with the usual good-bad combat with no depth to it...so for some time now i've been quite picky as to what (movies) i download: mostly its older stuff i know it was good or that has some pedigree, so to speak, as for newer movies i usually choose something that sounds interesting or some promising/hyped mainstream movies...but as opposed to the past, i tend to fast forward and skip a lot, especially if it becomes boring or it has some of the aforementioned (negative) characteristics - the most irritating thing is that older movies feel more genuine than newer ones (with very few exceptions), so i'd say that probably my habit of (somewhat) following whats getting released nowadays, hoping for something entertaining, may be the only reason for downloading newer movies

more on topic, here's some of recently (beginning of 2010 till now) watched crappy movies (meaning skip-a-lot & delete):

interesting. how so? did you try different versions?



What was bad about it?

well it was just so flat and forseeable. the storyline was so not-creative ... it's been there a thousands of times before.
and the spaceship is sitting there for what? 20 years? and they did not provide just one single piece of new tech???? :nene:
and what about the culture of the aliens? some info about their origin (more than the 2 sentences they gave us)? and so on ... they just failed everywhere i'm afraid :frown:

slikrapid
28.05.10, 19:51
District 9 was quite awesome if I may add

well, i thought it was above average, with some fresh ideas thrown in the mix, like the unusual approach with that clumsy/silly UN negotiator (or something), wacky camera work, decent horror elements (growing into a half alien)...eventually it got a bit dull/predictable towards the end, but i liked it nevertheless


some info about their origin (more than the 2 sentences they gave us)?

maybe that was the idea, to keep it obscured, keep us guessing ;)

Instab

silly diplomat? how's that 'fresh'?

not new either


decent horror elements (growing into a half alien)

decent, yes, but absolutely not new

There sure is a lot of crappy movies around. Probably all Uwe Boll movies.

If you want a suggestion for a movie not to watch, I'd say Speed Racer (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0811080/) (2008). Pretty lame acting, overuse of special effects and dumb storyline. I was hyped since it was directed by the Wachowski brothers. Terrible overall experience.

silly diplomat? how's that 'fresh'?

can't remember seeing such an odd character in a movie before, not to mention the (subtle) mockery of UN effectiveness, or a lack of the usual hero character or the ghettoized aliens (similar to the slums in mega-cities), that was an unusual mix


not new either

it doesn't need to be actually all new (as 90% ideas were already tried out more or less successfully), just an interesting/unusual combination of used ideas, with a specific twist that keeps the viewer interested


maybe they just wanted to save money?

possible, but generally speaking i'd always go for a good story/characters rather than cgi/effects


I'm making my own decision, too many times I got a wrong rating from imdb.

that is so true, individual experience beats all :top:


Probably all Uwe Boll movies.

oh yeah, the guy just churns unbelievably bad movies, whats even worse, he still gets hired to make new ones :rolleyes:

I didn't like it either. It was too slow for me. One of those "how much time until it ends, how much time until it ends..." flicks. Of course I could just stop watching it and delete it, but I prefer watching movies till they end, even crappy ones - maybe so that having transcoded all of them becomes worth the effort.

Paranormal Activity sucked just as much.

The problem for me is; I can't resist not seeing the rating beforehand and unfortunately, the rating on IMDB play a big part of my rating to the movie. I don't know what to do :biggrin:

Morgan Freeman performance was disappointing i admit , but overall it was a good movie.

The acting was disappointing from all actors, even Matt Damon. However, what saved this movie is the story line, which I admit is very nice, especially that the story in general is true.


Regarding District9; a predictable plot -sadly- became part of most movies (with a few exceptions of course). For this reason, I think it can be neglected :tongue:
I thought the movie was good, the acting was so different from other movies. The predictable part was the big part in the middle, however, I don't think that anyone expected such an ending. I thought the guy will be going with them :biggrin:

A bad movie to watch is "12 Angry Man", 7th on IMDB (8.8/10), maybe because it is a 1957 movie but it was boring.

How about this, Twilight (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1099212/) and its sequels.
Top US box office chart pwned.

When I was watching it, I was snooring at the same time. I was forced to see it in the cinema with my GF. :frown:

Very very boring movie. But it's better than Uwe Boll's because i can asleep when watching Twilight. :tongue:

True that for most sucked director is Uwe Boll and its movie. If I was forced to watch his movie, I would prefer to cancel the date.

well, then forget about the ratings and just follow your own instincts


The acting was disappointing from all actors, even Matt Damon. However, what saved this movie is the story line, which I admit is very nice, especially that the story in general is true.

that movie (invictus) was filled with political propaganda, portraying mandela as some kind of wise saint or smth (whereas he was/is a suffering cult-of-personality-icon puppet in reality to the same ones who started the apartheid in the first place and his political party continued a similar politics, getting financial support from all over the world)

a strange element is this victory of their national team (led by the white guy, who is the main actor, symbolically showing the black guys how 'its done'), as it was supposedly won by an unfair incident - the other team, superior in skills (south-africans were outsiders) had food poisoning just before the match thus having a major disadvantage

agora is similarly propagandist, yet concerning ancient times (picking sides as to whom is to be blamed for burning the alexandrian library and what were the actual circumstances, as usual using a hollywood-style (fake) history biased filtering, painting local people as an ignorant mob and so on), the only thing good about it are the 'costumes' & the decent lead actress, the battles were just plain bad and imo unnecessary (but war is trendy isn't it? :rolleyes:)



A bad movie to watch is "12 Angry Man", 7th on IMDB (8.8/10), maybe because it is a 1957 movie but it was boring.

interesting, i liked that one, fonda was cool as usual, not to mention it had a few morals on 'justice' and 'conformity', being shot almost entirely in a single room is quite an achievement from filmmakers point of view and it fits well in that movie era (not so flashy/fast as later lawyer driven movies)

29.05.10, 12:49
Actually, to be able to say if a movie is good or bad, you must first see movies from top 250 imdb. After that, if the movie is a comedy, you must have seen all the classic comedies and compare it with those.

Doing this , most of the movies will look crappy to you.

Also another factor that may make you think it's the best is the fact that you probably haven't watched a movie of that genre for a lot of time. For example, if you haven't watched a comedy in 5 months watching one now will surely make you overrate it.Or if you watch too many comedies, it will make you underrate it.

A movies rating depends on your mood too not just on the story.

I agree with Mihai, looks like we've got a movie critic here at Sb-I. :tongue:. According to me, Actually there are movies that most crappiest then Uwe Boll's, They are Movie that sell sex as a main weapon even though it isn't a sex movie. It doesn't need acting just moaning and playstyle. :redface:.

Sorry for the porn freak at Sb-I if I was attacking your favorite show. :frown:. That's why I rarely saw a porn movie fully, just skip to the show. Yes, I'm watching porn just to waste my time. :wink2:

Sorry for the little Off-topic, Which is better for review, Rotten or imdb? I know that in imdb you can get all technical details of all movie ever made with some exception meanwhile rotten doesn't have that kind of database.

29.05.10, 15:19

umm, that would mean you are left with some 200 movies to watch and thats it, not to mention among those there are many rather average or hyped ones, some even quite crappy, like:

Schindler's List (1993)
The Departed (2006)
The Pianist (2002)
V for Vendetta (2005)

i liked it even if it was kinda depressive at times, still, imo it was well done, though for a specific audience


I just watched Unthinkable.

What do you guys think?

hardly, apart from having an unbelievable story and average acting, simplistic reasoning or dilemmas, lame torture methods and their timing (2 of 3 days of torture gone by with no results...maybe i should increase it to a higher level? o rly?), ridiculous authorization issues (military vs fbi vs higher authority), laughable terrorist character unaware of his simple/basic weaknesses (his family, duh!), an irreplaceable sadistic walk-in-the-park kind of investigator (you know, tortures a few hours, then spends time chatting with his wife for half an hour and so on),...there is also this political theme (approving of usa politics in foreign countries), pro-war, pro-torture, 'there is no other solution' (even the main terrorist concludes so, while being tortured!) and similar fear mongering present in the movie, delivered in a patronizing manner towards the leading actress (conveniently forgetting to mention who is to blame for having this kind of problems in the first place)

Actually I liked the movies you post with the exception of V for Vendetta ,but I have to say many people like it, like my brother and some friends , but in my opinion is not a great movie just a decent movie, I just like Natalie Portman:shockkk!::

sure, we all have different tastes, expectations & critical viewpoints...actually the more movies (and related stuff) i have seen, the more critical i get considering the next ones i view (having some basis for comparison)

i wouldn't say i'm a fan of any director in particular, since most of them aren't able to keep up a high level of their movie quality (for various reasons), especially in a later period of their activity and usually only a minor part of their filmography has a special kind of sympathy from my perspective

to stay on topic, here are imo crappy movies from the mentioned directors:

Spielberg
Munich (2005)
Schindler's List (1993)
The Color Purple (1985)
Duel (1971)

Scorsese
The Departed (2006)

Polanski
just about anything i saw from him except Chinatown (1974)

Joan of Arc (1999)

If most of their work like me maybe 90%), I will say then I'm fan of his/her work ,because it would be really difficult to find a director whom all his movies like me :tongue:

01.06.10, 11:09
Most director I would think takes pride in being able to step outside their box and be as different from their previous work, it shows that theyr varied and multi skilled.

memento was great, insomnia & prestige had its charms, but i was disappointed with the sterility of both batman's (less with dark knight)

LOL We really have different opinions about movies.Christopher Nolan's Batman are my favourites :tongue:

Memento is a tricky movie ,but it liked me because it makes me think and you could have different hypothesis about it something like "Mulholland Drive"

we may turn the crappiest thread into gold yet :eek:


Christopher Nolan's Batman are my favourites

well, i can say that they were enjoyable, but imo haven't reached the level of first 2 batman movies (especially the first one)


Both movie are universally acclaimed..May be your expectation from are to high or to different..

it doesn't matter much what acclaim it has, its the feeling(s) i get when watching it, and of course comparing it to earlier batman (and other) movies


a few more of those crappy's:

just about any movie with christopher lambert (a few are mediocre but the rest, at least from what i have seen, is quite amateurish),

movies made by woody allen (they say he is great, but every single movie i tried to watch was either useless or unbelievably irritating)

movies with celebrities from other areas (singers, wrestlers,...) tend to suck-a-lot, like with madonna, mariah carey, britney spears, oprah, 99% wrestlers,...on the other hand there are well done performances like jennifer lopez (the cell), whitney houston (bodyguard), cher (mask (1985), the witches of eastwick), the rock (the rundown)...

edit:


Have you ever watched "Annie Hall"?

don't think so, but after checking the plot summary its rather obvious what to expect (the irritating element) and quite frankly i've had it with watching stuff like that, meaning woody allen is past tense now ;)

I would like to say that Legion (2010) was a crappy movie imo, lame acting, bad/empty storyline, very irritating, etc, I can't even believe I've gone through it till the end.

Usually (late) films with Cuba Gooding Jr, Val Kilmer, Wesley Snipes, Ray Liotta, among others, they do suck a lot, these actors seem to have enjoyed a golden era in cinema in the past, but now all their movies are below budget and pretty senseless, so I'd recommend to stay away from those.

I'm a big Harry Potter fan, read the book a countless number of times but some of the movies were really disappointing. I think they realised their mistake and they want to make it up with the fans :tongue:, the seventh book; two parts (more profit and good for the fans)

its always safer to assume that these ideas aren't original anymore (just the particular execution/adaptation/variation/combination that may be), especially since movie making has already reached many high-points throughout its history


Experimentation with nonlinear structure in film dates back to the silent film era

also, their rating system is questionable as many votes aren't being counted, some others are probably fake (like those of voters 'for hire' or 'haters') and so on:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Movie_Database#Criticisms_of_IMDb_ranking

on topic:

other crappy recent movies would be:

I Love You Phillip Morris (2009)

idiotic drama with jim carrey (his idea of realistic acting is being undernourished i guess) and ewan mcgregor (his idea of realistic acting is having a hillbilly accent and amateurish grins i guess) about some gay prisoners having serious dilemmas about whether to be pummeled by other prisoners or to suck their d*ck :rolleyes:

if you're interested in some decent movies (drama's) with homosexual themes better watch: Gia (1998) for female or Brokeback Mountain (2005) for male related themes

Someone's Knocking at the Door (2009)

lame horror with a boring first part & pretty much repetitive scenes of murders, too short actual splatter stuff and overall amateurish & useless plot & acting, scripted/directed probably by a barely literate person with some serious issues (vocational & psychological)

The Book of Eli (2010)

as predicted some time ago this one was full of religious propaganda (emphasizing the book, ie. the bible and its perceived purpose), pathetic action scenes, lame dialogue and ridiculous characters (another jewish 'avenger/hero' wannabe, protecting the bible/christianity, symbolizing their historical religious connection, a little sun worshiping and the usual propaganda) - the only interesting thing would be maybe the post-apocalyptic landscapes

but if you want a good post-apocalyptic movie watch any part of the Mad Max trilogy

Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned,
Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.

After The Wrestler i belive Aranofsky became the "must love bu critics" director, but that that mean that the movie is good only because of that. It felt forced at times and the ending was pretty abrupt
