[Torn blue sky]

[Manus]

Yeah, we\'re touchy like that! lol

The Wild was very poor- a rip-off of Madagascar, and I didn\'t enjoy that overly much. Only watched it cos I was stuck on a plane at the time.

A movie that should get the vote (but I refuse to see it) would be \"The dark is rising\". It\'s an awesome book, and from the look of the trailers the director has killed it, then resurrected its stinking corpse and made it do some sort of macabre dance. Feel free to correct me if you think I\'m wrong, but don\'t expect me to pay good money to watch it.

You guys realize that 300 was the adaptation of the graphic novel right? Considering that . . . look at it from the artistic point of view. The way they filmed the movie and the look of it was edgy and brilliant. It basically is the graphic novel come to life. Which was their goal and considering that it was very well done.

Aye, I\'m aware it\'s based on Miller\'s 300 and was intended to be an adaptation. The problem for me is that it\'s not actually an attempted adaptation, it\'s an attempted complete copy, and that doesn\'t necessarily make for a good movie.

Zack Snyder has horribly overworked each and every visual so that while it features the same sort of blocking and layout as the comic, it just looks like a heavily polished music video or at its worst a commercial for blood brought to you by the same team that advertises Loreal. By aproaching it so clinically he\'s ripped out any of the grit evident in the artwork.

I see very little artistic merit in simply trying to copy something, so can\'t admire it for this.

Oh, and the old \'slow down/speed up trick can only maintain my attention for so long as a battle booster before it becomes tiresome.

Have y\'all ever seen the original 300 Spartans? If not, go see it. Then you may appreciate the remake based on the graphic novel a bit more.

I haven\'t seen it, but I don\'t see why any film, no matter how bad it may be, would make me appreciate a film I already consider to be pretty awful.

I enjoyed it from the artistic and historical point of view. The Battle of Thermopylae is one of my favorite battles in history. Reading the Greek historian, Herodtus\'s account of the battle just amazes me. I thought it was very cool to see it come to life on the big screen in a dramatic way.

I find it strange you pick out the historical aspect as something to enjoy, considering the extreme levels of fantasy throughout the movie, but yes, I suppose it is inspired by historical events.

As for drama. For me to find something to be dramatic requires at least one character developed to a point where I can care about them. As 300 just featured caricatures with well defined abs it was about as undramatic a film as I\'ve seen.

Lets see...

Alexander
Troy
Arthur (sensing a theme here yet?)

All horrible movies IMO relying mostly on violence and shiny weapons/props + boobies. Also on the list is:

Running with scissors, why the hell it was labeled as a comedy is beyond me.

I have to agree with many that the worst movie ever adapted form a books has to be Battlefield Earth. The book was such an enormous sci-fi classic, made into an enormous sci-fi turd, its unbelievable.

 

[supervike]

I can give a pass to lower budget films as \'bad movies\'....Blair Witch for instance, filmed for only 30,000...but I thought it was kinda cool! It delivered some chills to me anyhow.

I can also give a pass to foreign speaking films, because of cultural and translation barriers. THE HOST, for instance...A Korean \'Monster movie\' (monster is cool!) But the characters are so bizarre that I wasn\'t sure if I was supposed to be laughing at the serious moments.

But to take a semi-interesting element, have a big budget, top flight actors and STILL freak it up is inexcusable and gets on my \'worse movie ever\' list.

I\'m looking right at you THE INCREDIBLE HULK.

Other movies that fall into this category...


Signs.

The Lady in the Water.

The Patriot.

The Grinch Who Stole Christmas w/ jim carey

Batman and Robin.

The Entire Spiderman series.

Battlefield Earth.


I just want to throw my 2 cents in about DARK CITY also....I freaking LOVE that movie. It is so moody and creepy and well done.

 

[Swordwind]

Hang on. Did you just say that it cost $30,000 dollars to make The Blair Witch Project? The studio was robbed. I would have written it, shot it and editted it for a a fiver.

 

[Rigged4Mini]

People are dissing The Patriot, Troy, Braveheart?

I think the movies were pretty good from an action stand point. I don\'t care so much that they aren\'t the History Channel versions.

Funniest thing I hear is how people say that Mel Gibson or Bradd Pitt can\'t or shouldn\'t act..or lack talent. Well..they are making millions.. so they are doing something right.

As Katt Williams says.. \"there are to many mother***kin haters in the world. There are real nig*as and their are bitch nig*as.\"

I watched some show a few weeks ago about the 100 BEST FILMS of all time and most of the top 20 were old b/w junk with the number 1 film being Citizen Kane. WTF.... we still can\'t make a movie that tops a junk film made a thousand years ago?

As Chris Rock says.. \"I love black people, but I hate ni**az.\" And as I say.. \"Katt Williams is clearly retarded.\"

Dungeons&Dragons ... I was so disappointed (did they ever finish the Dragonlance cartoon?)

The all time worse on my list --- Army of Darkness ---- I accualy walked out and asked for my money back (of course i was refused ) graphics was good but the movie totaly sucked butt ...

Don\'t be a hater son.. Be a baller.

 

[lono]

I guess I must have missed something here. If I was from the US and knew more about who exactly Katt Williams was, I\'d probably be able to see the rich irony in his statement. He\'s probably a movie critic, skillfully using the counterpoint between niggaz and bitch ass niggaz in his film analysis isn\'t he? D\'oh! And there I am making myself look foolish by questioning his stunning and deep thinking.

As for the baller advice, I\'m not really that efficient when it comes to most sport so I\'ll have to pass. It wouldn\'t be financially beneficial to pursue as a career.

And the hater thing, well hate\'s a pretty strong and extreme reaction. So far I don\'t believe I\'ve even expressed mild annoyance, let alone hate.

But many thanks for the advice anyhow sonnyjimmilladdyoh!

 

[Rigged4Mini]

Hes a standup comedian.. A little potty mouth on him but very funny.

Check out clips of him on youtube.

 

[Gilvan Blight]

Some of the worst:

He-Man Masters of the Universe
Abraxas
Street Fighter
Universal Soldier
Lawnmower Man 2
Santa With Muscles (staring Hulk Hogan)
Reality Bites (actually walked out on this one)
The Animal (probably the worst I have ever seen)
The Warrior and the Sorceress (a complete rip off of Yojimbo and a bad one at that)

I know there are probably hundreds more. Those are ones that come to mind. There was one more it was a Three letter title (IIRC), it was a messed up Sci-Fi movie that is based on some French Series of Novels. It was so bizare, more so then Zardoz. There was a huge fat guy in a tutu as one of the villians. If anyone knows the movie I am talking about please let me know the name, it\'s been driving me nuts that I can\'t rememeber.

 

[Recoil889]

shoot em up.

 

[Rigged4Mini]

The newest Star Wars films. Episodes 1-3.

Pure junk. Bad acting... bad storyline.. crappy special effects as well. Even Samuel Jackson couldnt save that garbage.

 

[Roger Bunting]

I thought Troy was a bit better than King Arthur; but not that much. I found it annoying that Achiles had a signature move, very silly.

 

[Ritual]

Some of the worst stuff I\'ve seen include:

Legends of the fall - Completely overloaded, overly bombastic, overacted melodramatic drivel! And it\'s looooong! The misery never ends!

First knight - Someone mentioned this catastrophe of a film that fails completely in every aspect! No chemistry between the characters, no action, no drama, and no authenticity... nothing!

300 - I agree with everything lono said about this film.

Scary movie <insert number here> - I accidentally watched 15 minutes of one of these films (don\'t know which one) and it was so bad that I felt sick. I think this type of film is the lowest you can get. People with no comedic talent whatsoever (or any other talent, for that matter) who tries to be funny off the backs of other films, or whatever else they might be targeting! It is just nauseating...
