Let’s be fair to “Jurassic Park”… it wasn’t “just rain” it was a hurricane
“FACE/OFF” is hands down the stupidest movie I’ve ever seen. And amazingly, it was almost unanimously praised by critics. I will never understand this. The plot defies all sanity and, really, all common decency. The cops need information from a guy in prison, so they take the guy’s evil brother, suck his face off, and put it on a cop, whose face they also suck off and put in a jar. While the cop with the bad guy’s face goes into the prison to get the info, the evil brother, faceless, escapes and steals the face of the cop (and somehow, his body and hairstyle as well) and takes his place. And along the way we get lots of slow-motion gunfights with people flipping around and tossing guns in the air for no reason and at one point the cops shoot up a house knowing there’s an innocent kid inside. I might add that the movie takes all of this SERIOUSLY…
Awful…just awful.:smack:
Dungeons and Dragons was pretty horrible for a lot of reasons. Why did Slobbo the Dwarf join the party? He didn’t like them, wasn’t going to get paid, and had no higher purpose in doing so. Plus he sucked, but no more than most of the characters. Why was Mr. Blue Lips able to control the tentacle creature that E-Ville Wizard-Warlock-Necromancer-Megalomaniac stuck inside his head to control him? Why did Deceitful Thief Guild Leader have to get Noble Thief-Hero to recover a magic item from his own Horrible Trap Corridor, instead of, I dunno, knocking a hole in the back wall and getting it that way? When Empress Stupid Prom Shoes declares that her subjects are now “free”, what does she actually do to back up her words? Uh… um… er… nothing.
The original Highlander was cool. All other incarnations do not exist, especially Endgame. Which, incidentally, had Mr. Blue Lips as the main bad guy.
My vote goes to Jeepers Creepers.
This really was a jaw-droppingly bad waste of what could have been a good film. It started well, and then suddenly veered of the rails. It was as if it was written by a committee whose members could not agree on what type of story they were writing.
Should it be a tense, dark tale about a sick, mysterious serial killer, and the kids who knew too much? Should it be a Buffy The Vampire Slayer style romp involving the supernatural? Or would a Terminator kind of all-guns-blazing action movie be a better bet?
For some reason, the writers thought: I know - let’s just combine the lot, one after another! We’ll start things off dark and eerie, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. Next, we’ll introduce the idea of demons – better bring in some pointless character with the sole purpose of explaining away the rest of the film, then. And then, when we get bored of this idea, we’ll suddenly make the bad guy into the Terminator, and have him blast his way through a police station. Excellent! And just to complete the mixture, I reckon that if we bung in enough massive plot holes, the audience won’t notice how truly terrible the story has become. And best of all, we’ll tag on a ridiculous ending, where nobody in authority seems to be particularly worried (or, indeed, surprised) that a huge monster thing has killed half the prisoners and police, and then flown away in full view of everyone.
No, no, no – bad, bad, bad film. Started off brilliantly – and lost the plot around about the time that bloody medium came into it.
Father of the Bride II pissed me off. Yeah I know it’s a minor film, but anyway. It’s meant to be a light-hearted comedy but there seemed to be a massively right-wing racist hidden agenda. The mere fact that the Chinese/Hispanic guy (erm, sorry, can’t remember, but hey he spoke with a ‘funny’ accent) wanted to buy the family’s precious house (and what? Turn it into an opium den?) made him the ultimate baddie. There was no suggestion that Diane Keaton should not have her baby, even though she was turning fifty. Sorry, I’m not explaining this very well, but I really hated this film.
**A.I. ** – could have been a great film, but the plotting was rubbish. Pissed everyone off.
**Breaking the Waves ** – one of those films that start brilliantly and then turn into utter pants. Why do so many films do this? Maybe we need another thread for them.
