ITT: movies the critics got wrong
Jupiter Ascending. Speed Racer.
Fuck everybody
F4ntastic four
DUDE ALL THE GOOD PARTS GOT SCRAPPED AND CUT TO 5 SECONDS LMAO
Great concept, bad film. Sam Niell almost manages to save it though.
>>63166509
awesome film
>>63166528
>>63166556
nice b8
>>63166509
>Generic slasher in space
>/tv/ spurges about it every chance it gets
Event Horizon is the most over rated movie on this board. I genuinely believe i may be missing some joke here, because i find it hard to fully believe so many people would find so much joy in such a forgettable movie
>>63166509
that movie is shit and im surprised it got a 24%
Naw its shit
>>63166902
Twin Peaks is shit
>>63166895
>but the first 2 acts were good!
>>63166902
I love twin peaks but this was unwatchable
>>63166895
no
>zombies in space
>see: Dead Space
hell that's fucking chilling af baka desu senpai, I'd even love to see a film out of the Death Troopers novel (Star Wars) which is pretty much Dead Space also.
fuck just imagine, crashing a ship in space with no survivors, since all of them are zombies...
>NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM IN SPACE
>>63166528
Lana please go
>>63166509
Didn't get it wrong at all, it's a shitty, predictable, badly written movie that 13 year old boys love because "muh spinning shiny hellmouth, so evil".
>>63167048
shit wrong film
>>63166509
This is the worst flick I have seen in quite a while.
>>63166509
Rating is too high.
>>63167147
the movie I mean was Pandorum which also got btfo by critics
>89% RT
I expected an entertaining horror western and I got a Syfy Original Movie tier schlockfest. It was fun in parts and some of the lines were funny but damn was it drawn out and cheesy. Matthew Fox's character was surprisingly the best part
>>63166509
>>63167467
this was basically The Hills Have Eyes set in the Old West
>dude graphic violence makes it good lmao
>>63166509
Didn't Games Workshop threaten to sue Paul Anderson over this because he ripped off 40K?
>>63167394
That film was boring and generic as shit
>>63167467
Was this released in theaters, haven't seen Kurt Russel make a movie since Death Proof
>>63167634
I don't know why the fuck Robert Heinlein's estate allowed this abortion to be made.
>>63167394
I still don't get why this was so hated by critics.
One of the only actually well directed, acted, shot, and written sci fi films of the last decade that's actually interesting and original but NOPE that's not good enough for people, better go give another billion dollars to some lowest common denominator franchise!
itt plebs finding out their taste is shit
>>63166528
Nah they both suck. Cloud Atlas on the other hand is a masterpiece
>>63167661
Romney and Paul are mixed
>>63168261
no, it's right
>>63168167
they all suck
>>63166998
no way, it was amazing, one of the best horror films ever made imho
didn't laugh once
>great practical effects
>actually worthy of being Rated R
Should be about 60% with a certified Fresh
>>63168383
In my top 5 greatest movies of all time
Your taste isyour own
>>63168395
naw man that was like low tier B movie, not even a good B movie, really shitty and so bad all around
>>63168383
this is my official fuck-you-i-liked-it of the year.
>>63168167
cloud atlas is a beautiful film I just can't bring myself to sit through a second time...
I remember it having its issues (some of the makeup is terrible, asian hugo weaving for example) but its easy to look past it when you see what they are trying to do with it
>>63168638
Elaborate
>>63168830
No, that is dead on.
>>63168830
not the awesome as fuck original
gtfo
>>63168869
fucking pleb
Event Horizon is terrible but definitely watchable.

I unironically liked Showgirls.
>>63168773
I just attributed the makeup as future asians or weird racemixing. 1800's asian white girl was inexcusably bad.
Is Pandorum a spiritual successor to Event Horizon?
>>63168755
Sup Max
>>63167467
you fag
Too low
>>63168962
I liked that first Sherlock Holmes movie too. So I guess I just have bad taste during the holiday season.
There is no justice in this world.
>>63168895
The original was better and got rated as such.
HOWEVER, watching Oz from American Pie kill a man with an end table, and LL Cool J ride a hog through the desert all in night vision camera, makes for a fine film.
>>63168755
I thought McAvoy was a respected actor, why is he doing shit like X Men, Frankenstein and Wanted?
>>63169152
>Wanted is bad
Objectively wrong desu senpai
Way better than WoWS and AH combined
>>63168755
I liked it too. Just pretty ridiculous at points
rotten tomatoes is the shittiest way to calculate the public's views on a movie. everyone could give the movie a B- and it would be 90%-100%. (see: avengers)
>>63169152
Wanted is great you shitlord
It and History of Violence are the only real candidates for "better than the comic"
>>63169304
i like cult classics from the 80's, movies from the 50's, serious dramatic movies from now and usually hate the 'blockbuster explosions michael bay' mentality current audiences and even bay himself have, but GOD DAMN if this movie isn't FUCKING SO GOOOOOOD.
>>63168830
too high of a score, I agree
>>63169482
literally why
i am actually asking
>>63168383
Yeah this was shrek 6, I'm with you man. terribly predictable jokes and written by reddit for reddit
This immediately comes to mind.
>>63169602
yeah, too high of a score, you're right
it's like another director tried to remake drive and fucked it up
>>63169602
>65 posts in
>immediately
>>63169304
For a Michael Bay movie it was good. Could have been a lot better, though. At times it felt like a bad Coen Brothers ripoff.
It was well worth watching for the animation alone
>hurr no plot hurr its boring hurr i dont get the point
Too many of these shitcunt reviewers are so far removed from normal society living in jew york apartments, they don't have a clue how hard this masterpiece hits home for the working class.
It deserves at least a 50%
>>63169652
lol more like refn tried to redo one of his movies.
and it wasnt drive
>>63166509
>24%
meanwhile capeshit hovers around a respectable 89%
>>63169584
Go watch it
>>63166895
It didn't work as a whole, but the set design, lighting, and cinematography were amazing. Engine room was based as fuck
>>63166509
It is a lot better if you are familiar with the lore from Warhammer 40k.
>>63169693
Wait... people actually like the movie Wanted? I've never laughed so hard in a theater except for maybe hell boy 2
>>63169683
Maybe anon just got into the thread?
>>63169747
because for capeshit, they include people's blogs for scores, just look at how many reviews capeshit gets in comparison to others
obligatory
It's funny, I kind of like Max but everything he makes is shit.
Way to high of a score. What an unfunny piece of garbage.
>>63169813
I was at the bar last night and it came on after the Notre Dame game and we were all sitting around laughing at how bad it was.
>>63169584
because it's partly based on a true story, because it has a real sense of style (people accuse bay of overdoing things and that may be still a little true here but i think he does well here), like it actually has some subtlety, the music is cool, there's a lot of funny moments, but more importantly, the story and the message it conveys. you hear voice over from a lot of characters. mainly from wahlberg, but also the guys on the other side, giving it a balanced and objective feel. that movie, despite wahlberg's character being kind of an amateur, is about being an entrepeneur, about bettering yourself every day, THAT'S the AMERICAN DREAM.
wahlberg's voice-over is surprisingly deep, in the very beginning of the movie, he's a meathead, but talks about real things, like "the hardest part of changing yourself, is changing how others see you" and even in the end, well, i don't wanna spoil it, but it's imo the most inspiring movie i've ever seen.
literally the only flaws: the director's name is "Michael Bay", the marketing for it is "A Michael Bay action movie with a twist of comedy". If you go into it with a clear mindset (don't watch the trailer), you'll appreciate it more.
>>63169909
Yeah but what about when John Cena is on screen HAHAHA
IT'S john CENAAAAA lol hahaha
big laughs tho okay? ;) JOHNNN CENAAAA hahaha
>>63169747
>>63169843
You two are fucking idiots, stay persecuted you literal retards.
>>63169875
10/10 film
>>63169909
I like how the commercials for this trash were completely centered upon its RT score, critics are such plebs.
>>63169875
Only right answer
>>63169988
it wasn't deep at all, he was just an idiot and you were hearing his take on the story
I think the part holding the movie back the most is that Bay movies are consistently super unfunny whenever they try to be
>>63168946
Not even close
One was people going cruhazy
The other was the warp from 40k
>>63170057
Speaking of commercials, does anyone feel like the recent ads for In the Heart of the Sea are going to kill the movie before it ever comes out? I remember seeing the first trailer for it really early in the year and it looked awesome but these new TV spots make it look very "meh"
>No fun allowed!
If only the movie was about Sigourney Weaver and Colonel Miles it might have been GOAT
>>63167278
>Uno Farto
What kind of meme is this.
>People picking movies made 20+ years ago that RT only has like 20 reviews of with most of which being recent reviews from some internet blogger
lol
>>63170273
Are you aware that good movies can be fun too?
>>63169909
>Hilarious work from Amy Schumer
Nice oxymoron there.
>>63170233
I feel the same way. I was interested when I first heard it had been adapted, but the new ad makes it look like a generic action movie.
I have to say, though, a lot of trailers in the past couple of years seem to really badly represent their movies. I've even seen movies advertised with multiple trailers, each of which gives a completely different impression of what kind of movie it's going to be. It's very weird.
>>63170476
Has that kaffir who made directed that ever done anything good? District 9 and Elyesium both sucked ass
start a threat with Event Horizon
>man, that movie fucking sucked.
bring up Event Horizon on another threat later on
>fuck yeah dude, it's great!
>>63170185
he wasn't strictly an 'idiot', i mean a bit, but he cut a lot of corners and improvised a lot, but he gives a lot of good life advice. watch the first 10 mins of the movie again and filter through the meathead talk about "america being the buffest country on the planet", he says a lot of relatable things, or at least to the ones concerned with becoming better every day. and the movie has a lot of funny moments
>>63169909
But goddamn Cena was fucking hilarious
>>63170450
>I only watch Fresh movies
>I don't watch icky Rotten movies
That's the mentallity of a true plebeian. I like these threads, it really brings out who the real newfag and redditors are

why would you start a threat with Event Horizon? wave a gun or knife in their face, it works way better

fuck up t.b.h District 9 was great
>>63170592
If you start a thread with something you like and praise it in your opening post it's going to be smeared because people are being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. It's best to shit on whatever movie you'd like to talk about in your OP to have people come storm to defend it.

Did anyone else notice the subtle references to Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" in the film "Event Horizon"?
>>63170233
>>63170534
Agreed. Also, they're banking too much on "THE STORY THAT INSPIRED 'MOBY DICK'" because anybody who likes Moby Dick already fucking knows this and people who don't care about Moby Dick won't care about the inspiration
>>63166998
Honestly you are the biggest pleb in the world if you think this. That's not meant as a knock at the show or anything but it is worse to hate the movie and like the show than it is to hate both.

>>63166528
Speed Racer I understand, but Jupiter Ascending was next to Fantastic 4 as best unintentional comedy of the year.
>>63166509
I liked it a lot, up until the end, they had it perfect, but fucked it up. It should have ended with the rescue leader pulling up his visor to reveal Weir's disfigured face, but for some reason they turn it around two seconds later.
I'm also disappointed we never got to see more of Hell/the alternate dimension.
>>63170701
District 9 is one of the best sci fi films of all time.
>>63171418
Apparently, the hell sequences were supposed to be way longer and even more intense, but because of burgerclap ratings, they had to be cut.
There was news about the original footage for those sequences being found a few years ago, but I never knew if we actually got to see them.
>>63171614
>In an Event Horizon Q&A in 2011, Anderson was asked when extra footage will be made available. He responded "never", explaining that much of it is gone forever.[4] However, in a 2012 interview he announced that producer Lloyd Levin had found a VHS tape with his original rough cut. Anderson said that after finishing Resident Evil: Retribution, he planned to watch this rough cut for the first time since assembling the film

That's not the case with Event Horizon though that movie was just shit.
it deserves at least a solid 60%
People are actually saying this should get a best picture nom. What the fuck is this world coming to?
>>63172473
I agree hard. Didn't feel like Mad Max, didn't feel Australian at all, was decent for action. I get the feeling the hype was artificial. The praise it got just feels off.
>>63172473

>>63170476
Every complaint I've heard in regards to Chappie is directed towards Die Antwoord. Complaints of being unrealistic and "cartoony". These people have obviously never met white south African gangsters.
They just didn't get it. It's not really the critics fault. None of the reviews talk about how it's a bad adaptation. They didn't know it. Even fans of the source material forgave the movie for deviating.
Spoiler: It fucking rules.
>>63175562
The story is pretty shit. The bad guy only motivation is he wants his robot to be a police robot when it should be a military robot. They even tell him he should sell it to the military.

oh i didnt know Meet Your Makers was already released
>>63168830
first tits i ever saw in that movie
The moment I saw that Terminator 3 got a damn 70% rating instead of the 20 below rating it deserved I knew RT was full of shit
>>63176272
Well Terminator 3 is a 6 or 7/10.
>>63175716
I really liked this one but it really just appeals to people who thought the Universal Monsters were neat. If only it had an Invisible Man or Mummy.
>>63168383
saw the hype, the reviews, and unfortunately the movie.
>>63169443
That's why you look at all the information not just the big bolded number you mong.
>>63168383
It's understandable that jokes for small children fell flat for you.
>>63169788
This. What the hell happened to Paul WS Anderson? This film looked amazing, on par with Alien even, whereas everything he's done since looks so awful and cheap.
>>63168383
Not a bad movie, the animation was great. Everyone really hyped it up though so I was a little disappointed in the humor.
