What are your most Hated Movies?

Yes, that too. The animators, writers, and other people doing the actual creative work were treated pretty shittily by the corporate production side of things. The product to come out of it is still praised with pretty strong words but I didn't sit down and watch the thing myself to form an opinion of it.

 

I don't hate them, but I'm not too fond of the new Star Trek movies in the "alternate timeline" where Vulcan is destroyed. Seems like they're just imitating Star Wars and fixating on the TOS era with a different plot.

 

The first and third I liked, especially the third one. The horrid attempt at Wrath of Khan can go mount a shotgun though.

 

CinemaSins did a humorous review of it.

 

In no particular order.

Dirty Dancing. (My parents watched that movie so much the wore out the VHS tape, also caused me to not get anywhere my NES)

Napoleon Dynamite. (Absolute Shite)

Batman Forever/Batman & Robin. Tim Burton Nailed the first two, and the magic died with these two.

Catwoman. Halle Berry is no Urtha Kitt.

Captain America (1979). Captain America with a plexiglass shield that doubled as a motorcycle windscreen. (I laughed so hard I choked on my Dr. Pepper when I saw it in Captain America the first Avenger)

Mama Mia. I was dragged intonwatching this one with my cousins and there 5 and 8 year old kids on DVD. Mostly sulked and MST3K'd throught the whole movied. My best quotes were. "It must suck to find out on your wedding day your mom was a whore." And, "All that money spent on that wedding and nobody can cough up the cash for a God Damn DNA test".

 

I will never watch The Last Airbender.

 

The Legend Of The Guardians was probably the first movie where I left feeling disappointed because of how badly they butchered the source material.

 

One of the awful Michael Bay Trashformers movies had a scene with dogs humping each other for no reason. When we were watching it my dad said "This movie should be rated X".

I don't know which one it was because they all blur together and were boring.

 

It was the second one, I think, maybe it was the third. I also think that when one of the decepticons changed sides and decided to become an autobot (I remember that scene made me cringe for some reason), he started to hump Megan Fox's leg. Maybe I'm remembering that wrong, but I think that's what happened.

 

Redlettermedia actually watched all three at once, and they hit the same beats at near the same time. I don't blame you guys for getting confused. It's also why I knew when to fold them and walk away, and why I wish the Chinamen stopped watching them.

 

I saw that Ghost in the Shell remake a few days ago, and it's already risen right to the top of my shit-list.

 

The 80s remake of Metropolis can go suck a fattie.

 

The Giorgio Moroder version?

 

Yeah, the 1984 version. Putting 80's pop over something as oldschool and unfitting as a 1920s German sci-fi silent film is a recipe for disaster.

 

Meh, i have the DVD of it, it's honestly not that bad.

 

It's not, if you mute it. That's mostly because Metropolis is so good visually.

 

Not to say that the 80's soundtrack is a masterpiece, but it's not as grating to me as it is to others. Different strokes I guess.

 

How did it suck?

 

I've forgotten most of the details by this point, but here goes.

Spoiler: WORDS WORDS WORDS

It completely guts the original story and everything interesting about the '95 movie, such as it's themes of identity and artificial intelligence, and turns it into literally Robocop without the satire. The characterization is so fucked that Motoko is now

Spoiler

an anti-augmentation radical that was kidnapped along with her friends by the gubment to get turned into anti-terrorism robots.

Project 2501 oh sorry, I mean 2571 isn't a rogue AI that wants to preserve itself as a biological creature anymore, he's now

Spoiler

Motoko's fuckbuddy that's trying to kill all the doctors that turned him into a robot.

Togasa? Who the fuck is Togasa? That guy that was in the movie for about five seconds? He never even has the conversation with the Major about using the revolver, even though he still has it. The most insulting part of the whole thing is that it rips off shots and scenes from the '95 movie, but not only do they just look awful in comparison, they completely change the context of them and are generally less effective. Like I said before, I'm a bit fuzzy on the details, but I remember being shocked by how badly the scene where they're interrogating the guy that had his Ghost fucked with was done in comparison.

I also didn't like was that really fucking stupid pole dancing scene, and I don't know why they felt the need to explain how Batou got the cybernetic eyes. I don't think it was ever explained in the original, I think you're just supposed to assume he has them because everyone has augmentations, but here he loses his eyes while shielding the Major from an explosion. The atmosphere is definitely not GitS either, it rips off pretty much every vaguely cyberpunk movie you can think of, but has no distinct flair of it's own. Oh, and they had Beat Takeshi playing the chief. No idea why, since I'm sure the people the studios wanted to sell this movie too wouldn't know who he is, and he's distracting since he only ever speaks Japanese with English subtitles, even though everyone else speaks English.

I could probably go on, but the movie's just not fresh enough in my memory. The bottom line is, it's a truly awful adaptation of GitS, I was expecting nothing less, but on it's own it's nothing but a derivative Robocop ripoff.

 

Does Hollywood have a terminal inability to make good movies anymore?
