I don't think it's that bad, but Sweeney Todd is definitely not that good. (I can't think of anything worse right now; might edit if I do.)

monte python and the meaning of life...well, it was the worst 20 minutes of a movie i've ever watched because that's about as far as my friends and i got before we decided to return it to the video store.

I saw Sweeney Todd, and I did not expect it to be like a musical. LOL. On the previews, Johnny Depp sang, and I thought it was for fun. Until I saw it, it was like a musical. It was okay because it had an interesting storyline & side gore to it.

There's no worst movie IMO, but the movie that I find that wasn't that decent was Untraceable and When A Stranger Calls. That movie was so weird and the girl who was acting was awkward. It was based inside the house mostly and I expected it to be a thriller, scary type. It turns out it was a slight scare and not that good.

Titanic

The Sixth Sense (at least Jean-Claude Van Damme movies had some martial arts and male flesh mixed in with the horrendous acting and dialogue)

Catwoman one of the dumbest movies every made. This is supposed to be worthy of an Oscar-winning actress? Lots of movies have bad scripts, a good actor rises above it. She didn't. She can't.

Really? I really enjoyed that movie! (Apart from that really annoying "Johanna" song. I swear, my friends kept singing it to me after the movie stubborn.gif )


Hm, worst movie? I'll have to say that I really did not like The Adventures of Pinocchio (otherwise known as the Pinocchio movie with Jonathan Taylor Thomas). That movie is pretty much what made me fear whales. Bastards.

It's just mediocre hollywood horror (remade at that). I don't see why it's even worth mentioning here? Shit, man. Get creative.

But, since we have a new thread, I guess I'll post a short list of some personal favorites:

1. Elephant.
2. Kids.
3. Legally Blonde 2.
4. The Fountain.
5. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
6. Crash
*
7. The Passion of the Christ.
8. Saw II.
9. V for Vendetta.
10. The Butterfly Effect.

That stupid movie that came out last year about the alligator in Africa that kills people. Its based off a true story, but the way they made it was TERRIBLE. The actual story is actually pretty interesting.

I recently saw Diary of the Dead; It has replaced Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as the worst film I have ever seen in theaters.

f**k, even Land of the Dead was better than this tripe! Georgie, baby! What the f**k are you doing?

You should read the book. I think if the movie actually followed the last bit of the book, it would have been better and more thought-provoking.

Just because it wasn't a great representation of the book doesn't mean it's not a good movie. Personally I was a fan.

Spider man 3. It was cheesy, it didn't follow the story line like in the comic book. They defamed spiderman with that emo style and his goofy dance. I think they made the movie too fast, they should have spent more time on the movie, the plot/storyline especially should have been regulated to follow along the comic. I will never watch any more Spider Man movies -.-

That reminds me of a movie I was (sort of) forced to watch on a plane. It was Possession. It was melodramatic and stupid. I felt the brain cells being sucked out of me every second it was on. I went through almost 50 bucks in alcohol purchases, hoping to either fall asleep or get so slapdrunk that at least the acting would make me laugh.

The Fountain has nothing worth salvaging. It is so sophomoric and pretentious. There is not a foot of depth in that poorly executed, murky, and boring shallow pond of scum-bucketing shit. Even on a purely aesthetic perspective, the movie, though it was hailed as beautiful, is truly yawn-inducing and full of nothing but old tricks. For those who think this film is "odd" or avant-garde, you really couldn't be more wrong. It's nothing special, and it's certainly not brave. And, it's all very unfortunate, because I feel that Aronofsky is a very competent director. He just really f**ked this one up.

So, is it only eloquence and extended-articulation that separate my statements and your own? I mean, I might have been more explicit than yourself... but, if my comments are so "condescending", what are yours?

Normal. I don't try to intimidate people with my overwhelming intelligence. This is a message board full of a lot of idiots, none of whom really give a shit about what you have to say. PS, you're still being condescending thumbsup.gif

Just because it wasn't a great representation of the book doesn't mean it's not a good movie. Personally I was a fan.

well personally I wasn't a fan. This thread is full of opinions, I may think one movie is bad and I'll have my reasoning for it. If it isn't your reasoning, to be quite honest I don't care.

Yes Nate, the Fountain was a bit of yawn.

The Fountain has nothing worth salvaging. It is so sophomoric and pretentious. There is not a foot of depth in that poorly executed, murky, and boring shallow pond of scum-bucketing shit. Even on a purely aesthetic perspective, the movie, though it was hailed as beautiful, is truly yawn-inducing and full of nothing but old tricks. For those who think this film is "odd" or avant-garde, you really couldn't be more wrong. It's nothing special, and it's certainly not brave. And, it's all very unfortunate, because I feel that Aronofsky is a very competent director. He just really f**ked this one up.


See, when you make comments like these, you should follow them up. What about the movie was sophomoric and what makes you call it pretentious? How was it poorly executed? I really have nothing to say about this since I haven't actually watched The Fountain, but I've disagreed with a lot of your comments about movies I DID like... such as Juno and HAVE felt that what you said about those movies are a bit pretentious and condescending.

I've read movie reviews that cut down movies I like, so it's definitely not that. Most reviews tell you just what it is about certain films that they find horrible, where the redeeming qualities are, and why they hate it so much. Calling something "pretentious and sophomoric" is not a review, it's an opinion. You've never followed it up.

You use big words, but people really need to dig through that pile of shit to get to what you're really trying to say.

Seems that its a bit hypocritical to allow your opinion to be shared but not mine, nor my opinion on your opinion. You don't really have to care, I just have to care enough to type it out. Which doesn't take long thanks to my amazing typing skills.

I think if you honestly read what he said past the word sophomoric you would have gotten all of the information you're asking for.

I think the whole point of a forum like this is a sharing of opinions. And if you honestly don't like someone's opinion, you shouldn't just say "Well you're being a c*ck." Provide a counterargument, and give supporting reasons. It's simple. It's a discussion not an argument.

What exactly are these old tricks? Sometimes, old tricks are the best; they've been used and have obviously been successful, so there's nothing wrong from borrowing from the past to prove a point or try to make a movie work. As for yawn-inducing... I thought Space Odyssey was yawn inducing and still liked it.

QUOTE

There's another point that you don't follow up.

You don't give any comparisons to put it up against.

I don't really care enough to disagree with his opinion. Everyone has their own and of course, he's entitled to his. I just really don't care for the way he presents it. If he wants to write a long paragraph, at least make it worthwhile. All I got from what he said was that he thought it was a pile of shit and that people who have an opposing opinion are wrong.

But then again, that's just my opinion.

Never having fully watched a movie doesn't really have anything to do with any part of what I said.

And from what I can understand from his posts he wasn't so much saying other people's opinions are wrong. In fact there was nothing there that eluded to it. He merely stated his opinion in confidence. Yeah, he said the movie was a pile of shit, but Rachel said the same thing about Hot Rod, and no one jumped down her throat.

Personally I liked Hot Rod. It wasn't outrageously funny, but it was unassuming and quaint. It was a movie I could sit down and it won't necessarily move me, or make me laugh a lot, but it's got its moments and it was a good way to melt off some stress.

But that's just my opinion.

I don't know. I think a lot of my criticisms (say Harold and Kumar and Juno) have been informed by more detail and evidence, while some might have been more vague (possibly in this instance). But, I'm not compelled to really articulate anything much further than my most immediate impressions when someone praises a film in perfect simpleness and utter ambiguity. Although I agree that my comment could definitely benefit from greater substantiation, I couldn't possibly concede that I have presented my opinion in any less detail than anyone else in this particular thread. Further, I am not persuaded that my comment is any more or less condescending, in comparison to anyone else's comment here, given merely by its explicitness.

If you actually see the film, and still disagree with my (more general) opinion, I would encourage a discussion. But, for now, I'll leave you with this:

The Fountain was so pretentious impart because it was so self-indulgent. The same scene(s) - literally the same scene - is shown an unreasonable amount of times. The symbology of the film is overwrought and cliched (the tree of life, etc. etc.). The jilted time frames and chronology of the "stories", which add very little to whatever depth one might be able to invent, are unnecessarily confusing as well as arbitrarily placed though-out a far too lengthy running time (during which very little actually happens). Usually, the highlight of a slow-paced or minimalistic film is its attention to tone, however, because of the non-contingency of the entire experience, no atmosphere is truly unearthed. Instead, the movie just appears lost. Worse is that the filmmaker is constantly informing us, through his direction, his use of dramatics, and his imagery, that something profound is happening. To me, the constant reminder that something important is happening only extends the dubiosity I hold to any film that already can't seem to articulate it's supposed insights.

Really, I could go on forever.

But on that subject, I have no problem with big words. Trust me, I don't. But unless you're trying to say something substantial, using big words to fill up space is stupid.

I don't mind the big words when he's saying something worthwhile like this:

I've only seen the first one and the second one. Or wait, the second one is all or nothing, right? Because that's the one I saw. And OMG, so bad. I mean, I like Hayden Panetierre, but ew, the character she played. Even though the moves and stuff were cool, that's the same for most cheerleading movies. This is probably her worst movie. Or maybe the worst that I've seen from her, at least.

Wow. You guys post some movies I thoroughly enjoyed.

Hot Rod was hilarious. It was stupid funny. Something I can watch over and over again just like shaun of the dead.

In response to nosex, I'm sorry you found the movie to be lacking. I liked the visual effects of the future scenes. They started off barely showing us what the future was like and it made me crave for more. What the hell do you do in a bubble? Although I do admit it reaching the end was a really, really, really long journey. That bubble was moving like a snail. Eternal life is very desirable. Drinking from the tree and seeing the outcome was unexpected, but filled the role of what it needed to do. I originally thought the movie was going to be about two people in the past do something and they became immortal. Then you see them living life through different time periods.

wow, that was an awful movie indeed. not that the first one was great, but it had some scary parts to it. in the second, i was like why don't you just eat all the kids already? it made a huge hole in the bus and just kept leaving and coming back.

The Punisher - as a rabid fan of the comics, this movie made me want to slit my wrists.

Dracula 2000 - I downloaded it because it had that looker who played Leonidas in 300 in it. I have duly been punished for my lechery by WATCHING A F*CKING TERRIBLE MOVIE.

Aeon Flux - Charlize Theron dressed in a giant condom. O noez.

And I have seen a LOT of crappy movies... luckily, I seem to have erased most of them from memory.
