The "Man That Movie Wasn't As Shit As I Heard It Was" Thread

[stokeriño]

I also think Stardust is brilliant if you can just enjoy it for what it is - basically a fairy tale turned into a film.

hmm Stardust is an excellent movie, if not a tad long but a very enjoyable movie.

These infer that someone else has been hating on Stardust, and if so, I wish to locate and slap them.

Should I mention Daredevil? I know, I know, it doesn't stay true to the comics at times, but damn it, I have a soft spot for Ben Affleck.

[Jimmy]

I've already mentioned it. And it is not wrong. I'm watching Ben Affleck in Dogma right now. He's a great man.

Daredevil is a fine film, it's totally saved by Michael Clarke Duncan and Colin Farrell and their fantastic performances as King Pin and Bullseye. Those may be two of my favourite portrayals of comic book villains ever, behind the obvious. (Heath Ledger's Joker and Callum Blue's Zod mainly.)

This x100

Although I liked Jon Favreau's bits as well, Ben Affleck though, eugh.

[IDOL]

Land of the Lost wasn't nearly as bad as everyone made it out to be, and despite being dragged to the theater to see it, I liked Dear John too.

I have set my DVR to record a movie with Josh Hartnett, 40 Days And Nights I think it is called, from like 7 years ago that fits into the same category.

40 Days and 40 Nights was a good film (what with Shannyn Sossamon and all) right up until the point the protagonist gets raped while tied to his bed by his ex-girlfriend, then has to apologise to his love interest for it.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls - I didn't see it until it came out on DVD and I thought it was pretty good. It seems like everyone forgot that Indiana Jones has never been realistic (see melting Nazi faces, etc.) and was made as a tribute to B movies.

Jeepers Creepers I and II - I will defend these movies to death. Off the top of my head, this movie created the only great "monster" during the 00's. Saw had Jigsaw and The Ring had that creepy girl, but The Creeper was truly a monster.

Why did you link to what B-Movies are?

The Boat That Rocked and Constantine are also great yet not well received. I could watch Peter Stormare as the devil for the rest of my days and never grow tired of it.

I try to explain this to my friends sometimes and I have to explain what they are usually.

So I do not need to watch it now?

So I watched it and

you're pretty much a fucking prick giving away the ending of the movie like that.

With that said, it sucked really. I kept thinking while watching it how much better it would be if this happened or that happened, which is never a good sign.

[MalaCloudy Black]

It's funny 'cuz Be cried about people giving away the Superbowl ending.

[TGC]

I know. I am ironic? No wait.

Also I have decided that Stardust, Role Models, and Music and Lyrics are next. Everything else in this thread I either have already seen or hated. Or stars Will Farrell.

[TKz]

Role Models wasn't badly received! It's got like a 7 rating on imdb! 7!

[IDOL]

Epic Movie. I know, shoot me.

[Sousa]

Van Helsing is amazing and I will not hear a bad word against it.

This, this, oh god this. Van Helsing is spectacularly grandly terrible like few other movies have ever been. It's consistently entertaining from start to finish just because of how bad it is.

[TGC]

Epic Movie. I know, shoot me.

I was about to curse you for listing my all time hated film ever, and then I realized that it is Date Movie. So you have been given a reprieve.

[IDOL]

Yeah, Date Movie is the absolute drizzling shits. I don't get all the hate for Epic Movie. It had its fun parts, like Wonka's Chocolate River.

[GhostMachine]

The Tri-Star Godzilla movie isn't as shitty if you realize that its actually more of a remake of The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms and ignore the Godzilla name. (Its still a shit film, just not AS shitty)

Van Helsing is amazing and I will not hear a bad word against it.

This, this, oh god this. Van Helsing is spectacularly grandly terrible like few other movies have ever been. It's consistently entertaining from start to finish just because of how bad it is.

Well, that and the fact that Kate Beckinsale is absolutely fucking hot in it.
