Cos I've just watched Wonder Woman
Holy crap, absolutely dreadful. Like, awful.
Creed II, utter shit.
Mad Max fury... desperate...
Not a movie, granted, mandalorian. I only managed 15 minutes.
Atomic Blonde
expectations were low, but somehow.....
Wonder Woman is certainly one of the worst films I've seen recently, given the hype. Nearly as bad as Polar.
My wife did find the second half of Coyote Ugly on the TV eariler...
/thread
But Polar was that bad it was actually good.
A star is born
But Polar was that bad it was actually good.
No, it started off bad enough to be good, then got far too bad to be good any more.
Watched Black Panther for the first time the other day. Almost as bad as Wonder Woman
Transformers: The last knight.
Not only is it a steaming heap of turd, the aspect ratio changes literally every other shot, even in conversations between 2 characters, in the shot, then reverse shot.
It could be a drinking game, where you get to take a shot if you wrongly guess the next aspect ratio. You'd be dead after about 10 minutes.
Exhibit A.
Black Panther. Worst film ever...
Emma. After 15 minutes turned it off in favour of watching a kettle boil.
Wonder Woman? Black Panther? You are really not trying hard enough. Both have a certain narrative logic.
Try The Kitchen.
Guava Island... We were planning to watch a film but time had ticked away, but Guava Island was only 55 minutes so lets be open minded to something a bit different to what we usually watch. It has Donald Glover in it who I mixed up with Danny Glover so I was expecting some corny comedy moments. Unfortunately for the corny comedy moments, Donald Glover is Childish Gambino, and it also has Rhianna in it. I did like the different take on "This is America" but there was just too much of a half dressed Danny Glover writhing around with his eyes popping out in that weird way of his. Plus crap story.
Human Capital, oh dear lord what a crock of shite.
Moon. - Sam Rockwell is effing amazing in every film apart from this one. Incomprehensible
John Wick 3
Hunter Killer. Utter utter shite. One of the opening scenes we meet a US Submarine Captain in a hunting scene set in the Higjlands of Scotland according to the captions. He’s in the snow, dressed head to foot in real tree cammo, armed with a compound bow and is about to shoot a Bull Elk but stops when a cow and calf wander into the cosy family scene. It didn’t get any more believable and mercifully I nodded off.
The new(ish) Hellboy.
What. A. Crock. Of. Shite.
Ford vs Ferrari / LeMans66, awful American script writer English dialogue “i’ll have a cheese cob and pass me that wrench gov’nor” coupled with Fast and Furious gear changing and pedal stomping.
Le Mans 66 was my second choice.
What's happened to Patrick Bateman?
Peelers on NetFlix
Absolute dire acting from the men
Will try my best to watch till end, just cause ya know...
😜
Batman and Robin - rediscovering the reason why I haven't watched it for years.
One of the John Wick films, I forget which. Turned off after about 10 mins.
Polar.
I'm sensing a theme with Netflix's own films. Triple Frontier was also pretty rubbish.
bad boys for life. managed about 15 mins before i had to switch off.
El Shalimo - moon. one of my fav sci fi films ever. how can you not like that if you like Sam rockwell
6 Underground.
A Netflix Michael Bay original. (which really should tell you all you need to know)
There doesn't appear to be a plot, or any sense of script, or plausibility, there's some by the numbers back story character stuff some awful mid-America concept of what a middle eastern country is like, some blatant product placement, objectification on an epic scale that makes your fear for any woman unlucky enough to find her self in a room alone with Mr Bay, and explosions.
It makes Wonder Woman look like a work of high literature
The Internship. Found it on our sky + box last night, managed 1/2 hour which was pushing it. One of those comedies where you realise you haven't laughed once
Terminator Dark Fate, watched it last night. Bloody awful.
The marriage story.
How the shitting hell that won any awards is a mystery.
The Sisters Brothers.
Joaquin Phoenix and "that bloke you recognise but can't quite place" in an incredibly uninteresting Western.
6 Underground.A Netflix Michael Bay original. (which really should tell you all you need to know)
Oh that had s thread all to itself a while ago! Here we go:
https://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/6-underground-netflix/
Once upon a time in Hollywood. What was Tarantino thinking? I can only assume it was a bet to see if he could get people to watch such garbage after all his other good films. There's literally nothing to it, utter dross.
Well I though Birds of Prey was pretty bad, if having Margot Robbie in there can’t save it it is dead.
Last night I watched Guns Akimbo with Daniel Radcliffe. Same values as Birds of Prey but zero Margot Robbie. Strangely I woke up wanting to see it again. I’m sure that will pass.
The real crap lately was probably Vivarium but I still have to watch Underwater that looks like a shit Deep Blue Sea.
BTW I liked 6 Underground and Polar.
The Sisters Brothers
Oh no! I loved that book.
I didn’t mind most of Wonder Woman. The final act is absolutely atrocious though.
Rented Jay and Silent Bob Reboot recently. Was expecting more of the same brain out fun, but it was just painful.
On the flip side, watched Knifes Out last night. Fantastic film!
We are also currently working our way through the Disney back catalogue with the boy. A LOT of dross!
I thought Black Panther was okay, just. Killed a couple of hours on a plane.
I started to watch Hunter Killer on a plane too, thought it had the potential to be so bad it's good.
Moon. – Sam Rockwell is effing amazing in every film apart from this one. Incomprehensible
One of my favourite films 🙁
The Favourite. It's got Olivia Coleman in it! It won every award going!
But utter crap. Horrible distracting camera work and everyone chewing the furniture overacting.
That thread on 6 Underground fooled me into thinking it would be fun to laugh at. Like being lobotomised through the eyeballs.
MrsMC had a lazy sofa afternoon yesterday and found some straight to Channel Z dirge about William and Kate.
Proud to say I lasted about 45 seconds of it
bloodshot was pretty crap, couldn't understand why they need vin when they already had the psycho twins 😕
You thought The Favourite was bad, try the director’s other films! 😂
(I liked The Favourite)
I didn’t make 15 minutes through Marriage Story.
Roma is beyond me. Just the dullest thing I have ever tried to sit through. And I love an arty foreign drama, me.
Single worst film I’ve tried to watch lately though is Rough Night. The cast is superb! The script is a bag of shit.
Last straw for me, about 15-20 mins in, they’re in an airport, one of them pops a champagne bottle. Everyone in the airport dives for cover. The next line “er that sounded like a gun. And we’re in an airport”. wtf. If you want a “comedy” that exercises your frown muscles, give it a go.
Watched The Phantom Menace with the 6yr old forgot how crap it was, even the special effects were pretty rubbish, even the little one wanted it turned off and watched a 1952 Robin hood film instead!
I was once lent a copy of Idiocracy by a well-meaning friend. It lasted all of 10 minutes.
Been watching the Star Wars films with my eldest and come to the conclusion that they’re all a bit shit apart from Empire and Rogue One. Prequels and new ones especially so. The cartoons and The Mandalorian are better.
If you’ve got half an eye for old serialised westerns, Firefly or Shogun Assassin then I fail to see how you can dislike The Mandalorian.
I watched The Rise Of Skywalker the other night, that was drivel and unforgivably long.
I must say though, a lot of people on this thread have certainly got their hate on for some perfectly reasonable films.
Cats. I was coerced into seeing it. It really was spectacularly dreadful. I was physically in pain with the want for it to end.
A Quiet Place. Much as I like a bit of Emily Blunt, it was....a bit meh.
Villain 1971. Crap film and Richard Burton was terrible
A Quiet Place totally bored me. I put that up there with The Happening with Mark Wahlberg
I thought Foxcatcher, which was on the box the other night, was pretty terrible, but reviews suggest I'm in a minority.
John Wick. How anyone stuck it out to John Wick 3 is beyond me.
Cos I’ve just watched Wonder Woman
Holy crap, absolutely dreadful. Like, awful.
You're obviously not the target audience (eight-year old girls).
The latest Charlie's Angels. Wife wanted to watch it. What a load of rubbish!
The latest Charlie’s Angels
Were the previous ones any better?
The latest Charlie’s Angels. Wife wanted to watch it. What a load of rubbish!
Oh yeah, I forgot that one. I made it to about half way before binning it. Kirsten Stewart just looked embarrassed, and rightly so.
I watched Wonder Woman. I'd watch Gal Gadot doing the ironing.
Anything by Michael Bay doesn’t make any sense apart from Pain and Gain. Which was ace. I’ve yet to make any sense of any of the Transformer films.
There’s plenty of rubbish on Netflix but nothing compares to the Expendables
I’ll second Once Apon A Time In Hollywood.
I’ve never been so disappointed in a film in my life. Utter shite...and I love Tarantino films.
Mamma Mia. God awful. Especially Pierce Brosnan ‘singing’, they really should have overdubbed him
Robin Hood. No, not the Costner or Bergin films, a very recent (probably Netflix) remake. Starts with what you might expect a Gulf War firefight to feel like, other than the bullets replaced by arrows & crossbow bolts. And gets worse
a lot of what has been mentioned plus Star Wars - all of them.
The Grey. One film too many Liam.
Citizen Kane is alomost invariably in the top 5 best films in lists compiled by film critics. I watched it waiting for the story to start or something af any interest to happen, it didn't.
The new Markie Mark offering on Netflix, whatever it was called. It really was crap but switching the old brain off for a couple of hours wasn't a bad idea.
Bad Boys for Life for me.
I’d switched off mentally after about 20 mins and the my wife woke me up towards the end.
Sharknado is the biggest pile of poo I have ever seen
I’ve yet to make any sense of any of the Transformer films.
The first one has a plot you can follow and Bumblebee is actually good. The rest I agree on though. Not a clue what’s happening on screen beyond robots smash!
Some of you clearly haven’t seen any really shit films. Shark ado is supposed to be a bad film. Wonder Woman and Black Panther both pretty much do what they intend to and do it relatively well. Try Justice League, now there’s a shit superhero film.
Rocky V
I was having a movie marathon earlier. Enjoyed I-IV but V put a stop to it. Balboa, Creed and Creed II will have to wait for another day.
Sharknado is the biggest pile of poo I have ever seen
What? That's fantastic. And the sequels.
Just realised I was a bit quick to mention guava island as did actuality stick it through to the end. Can't say the same for "uncut gems" however. Awful music. Awful characters. Gave up after twenty minutes. And it came recommended from by a STWer.
Once upon a time in Hollywood. What was Tarantino thinking? I can only assume it was a bet to see if he could get people to watch such garbage after all his other good films. There’s literally nothing to it, utter dross.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes!
Nothing happens. It's just awful. Emperor's new clothes in cinema form.
Also, Black Panther. We're all supposed to love it, like it's some piece of cinematic magnificence. It's an OK superhero popcorn film, to pass a few hours on a flight. Nothing more.
(Disclaimer- most of the films I watch on flights are utter poo. Hell, I even watched the Point Break remake once. Not even the aperitif, wine list and spirits list could save that one!)
If Sharknado is in play I'm wheeling out Iron Sky
Spenser Confidential.
****ing Awful.
Polar, could have been so good, was pretty poor.
6 Underground, probably the worst I’ve seen in a good while. I love cars, lots of the ingredients should have worked but it just didn’t, in fact I found it mildly offensive.
Love films, have a fairly large collection of dvds I can’t part with but what is it about many of the latest ones? Or have lots always been like this? I’m probably too old and clearly not the target audience for most of the modern stuff.
Do not watch Coffee & Kareem on Netflix. Taraji P Henderson should be ashamed for taking part in such hateful dross.
Spenser Confidential.
Boooo! I liked that.
Is Netflix Funding/support/encouragement a film killer ? And while I remember
Mortal Engines, we all really enjoyed the books, great series with one of my all time favourite endings but BUT the film... oh dear it was sad...how could they? All that effort, expertise, expense and to produce that.
John Wick. How anyone stuck it out to John Wick 3 is beyond me.
The only cerebral element to John Wick are the bits he externalises with whatever weapon he has to hand. Its a Keanu Reeves film, temper your expectations. I actually enjoyed them all.
6 Underground was shit but enjoyably so, we watched it for that express purpose.
Never bothered with Hellboy after the previous sequel ruined it all. And Atomic Blonde was good!
Honestly, the worst film I think I've seen recently was Ready Player One. It was never going to be anything brilliant but they butchered what there was and turned it into a Nickelodeon special.
