Overrated movies that really sucked

[MAX]

A recently re-run episode of Seinfeld reminded me of this with Elaine and "The English Patient" of which I couldn't agree with her more cos it SUCKED!

I'll also add that fucking "Titanic" SINK AND DIE ALREADY AHHHHHH!!!!!!!

"The Horse Whisperer" is another. Give me time and please help me unload.

[Switch84]

:mad: "The Matrix" 2 and 3! That shit sucked BIG TIME! I only own the first one, and that's enough for me. The other two couldn't touch it.

[Rikk]

TITANIC did fucking suck! But at least people are starting to remember that now.

What a piece of trash that movie was. Who cares about a love story when over a thousand people are dying. It's awful.

LOL!

I saw this thread title and popped in to post "The English Patient" and you beat me to it.

Misery of a film...

[blueturk]

"On Golden Pond" got Oscars out the ass and it makes "The English Patient" look like "Terminator 2".

:confused: Am I the only one that thought "The Matrix" sequels sucked ass? Come ON, people! The 'Architect' and the 'Oracle' in cahoots with each other using Neo and Trinity as pawns in their sick little game? That shit was WEAK!

[Mr Badguy]

"Kill Bill" and "Kill Bill 2"

What the fuck was that all about?

[smaz]

Suck ass films would be the 'Teen Movie' ones. American Pie, Road Trip etc. American Pie 2 etc just make them worse. Scary Movie, which took the piss, even has become like em.

KB 1 & 2 were both great movies. Matrix 2 wasn't TOO horrible, but 3 sucked donkey balls. The worst movie Ive seen so far this year has to be the one I just watched... The Terminal w/ Tom Hanks. What a fuckin' snore fest. 9 months in a terminal....RIIIGGGHHHT..... That "could" happen". :D

[smaz]

I thought the first Halloween was shit. Watched it because I'd heard good things but stopped it again after a short while. Just seemed boring and uninterseting.

No it just shows you have common sense. "I'm NEO I can fly" what the fuck was all that shit. It just got ridiculous.

[Cathedral]

The Day After Tomorrow, was a crap fest in story telling. hey the effects were cool at some points, but the actors all sucked donkey balls.

And the CGI wolve's...What the fuck?
Can we not use real animals anymore?

The flooding scenes of New York, like water moves that slow when it's taller than a fucking skyscraper, right.

And Dennis Quaid, hasn't Hollywood learned that he is the kiss of death for film?
Jeez, he needs to make a sequal to that Jerry Lee Lewis film he did so horrible in.
"I'm Jerry Lee"...fucking dink.

It was beyond ridiculous. "Matrix 1" was perfect (except when SWITCH was killed off, the bastards!)

The Architect - Hello, Neo.

Neo - Who are you?

The Architect - I am the Architect. I created the matrix. I've been waiting for you. You have many questions, and although the process has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevocably human. Ergo, some of my answers you will understand, and some of them you will not. Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also the most irrelevant.

Neo - Why am I here?

The Architect - Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the matrix. You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden assiduously avoided, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control. Which has led you, inexorably, here.

[fe_lung]

Anyone want to comment on The Villiage?

[bueno bob]

I'm sorry, but I'm going to disagree with everyone on the Matrix sequels. I thought they were awesome, loved both of them. In fact, I almost liked Reloaded more than I did the first one. What I liked about it was the fact that it WASN'T your every day run of the mill bullshit "Hero Saves The Day" tired-ass Hollywood action trilogy formula.

Neo ended up being what he was - human, and prone to human successes, triumphs and failures. He had to make human decisions in a human world where humans often times could suffer the results of those decisions.

The Zion resistance ended up being what it was - futile. The second and third parts of the trilogy were MUCH more believable than Neo just coming along and "saving the day for all the poor people" which would have wrecked the entire series for me. Neo didn't save all the people and end the war - not permanently. The most that he, with all of his abilities, was able to accomplish was a temporary cease-fire, and that was NO margin of victory at all, but given the parameters of the story line, it was the only realistic one given the circumstances.

Frank Herbert said that heroes are dangerous to the masses...and that superheroes and supremely dangerous. I think that the Matrix trilogy really sort of expanded on that whole concept, putting a normal person in an impossible position and then watching what transpires - much the same way Muad'Dib's personality broke down between the first three "Dune" novels. The notions have always intrigued me and I welcome any sort of indepth examination into the topic, and since Reloaded and Revolutions did exactly that, I was more than happy with them as movies.

I can appreciate that a lot of people didn't like the sequels, and that a lot of critics didn't like them either, but in both cases I just don't think people understood them.

I will say this, though - on an action level solely, Neo's battle in the park with the Smiths was OUTSTANDING!!! And the highway chase scene in Reloaded remains one of the VERY best highway chases I've ever seen on film.

I just don't understand why people seemingly hate those two movies, I thought they were extremely well done.

[bueno bob]

By the way, I wrote up a relatively brief synopsis for "The Matrix: Resurgence" that goes a LONG way towards answering a lot of the questions that people were asking after Reloaded and Revolutions...if I may say so without sounding too arrogant, it's extraordinarily good and answers every possible question that could be raised, and it DOES put a cap on the series, permanently (hint: it's the run-of-the-mill Hollywood ending I was talking about earlier, but it happens in a way that NOBODY would ever expect...lol).

[manwiththedogs]

1. Lost in Translation
2. Godfather 3
3. The Virgin Suicides
4. Basically anything involving Sofia Coppola in any way, shape or form.

[fe_lung]

I will say this, though - on an action level solely, Neo's battle in the park with the Smiths was OUTSTANDING!!! And the highway chase scene in Reloaded remains one of the VERY best highway chases I've ever seen on film.

To me that sequence represents everything that was wrong with the entire series. This attitude that if one is cool, then 500 will be 500 times as cool. That scene and the car chase you mention were among the most yawn inducing sequences in modern cinema. They just went on too long and had nothing to offer the audience.

Compare Reloadeds car chase with the one in Bourne supremecy. Reloaded just keeps going and going without any real excitement or sense of danger. The car crashes (surely the stuff of any modern nightmare) were presented in the annoying slo-mo matrix style that robbed them of their urgency or excitement.

Supremecy's chase was well edited and kept you on the edge of your seat. Your main character gets hit out of nowhere and all of a sudden the camera is spinning. You're hearing the sound of crumpling steel and shattering glass (again, an auto wreck has it's own distinctive sort of sound, and it's a sound that puts most people on edge as soon as you hear it). The scene is edited with fast cuts in a pseudo-documentary style that sucks you in and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

In the end it's supremacy that achieves the goal the matrix team set out to do: Leave you feeling exhausted at the end of the sequence. supremacy leaves you thinking "holy crap! What the hell just happened" while Matrix leaves you thinking "what in the holy hell was the point of all that?"

I agree. I saw the first one at the theatres and nearly dozed off. It wasn't really any better than any other movie of its type.

[bueno bob]

Skip ahead about 25-30 odd years or so after the events of Revolutions, and things between The Matrix and Zion are slightly different because Neo did something that the other One's had never done; but the game was still being played, only in a much different fashion...since Neo, however, "ended" his life within the grasp of The Matrix, the new Agent that's been loaded into the system goes around by the name of "Agent Anderson".

Basically, what the Matrix/Architect has done is to reload Neo back into the system (now remember, in Revolutions the Architect informed Neo that he had inside him a "code" that the system would download to reset the Matrix if he chose door #1 - Neo, of course, chose door #2) and reprogram him as it's new lead Agent, downgraded his ability list (in essence, if the Matrix was a living video game, the Architect turned off the majority of his cheat codes) and programmed him to run the system, hunting down freed humans attempting to educate the uneducated as to what the Matrix is, without any personal memory of his previous incarnation as either a human or The One.

Now, there's a new One surfacing, and the citizens of Zion are rejoicing because the Oracle has prophesized that the coming of the one will end the war - same old song and dance, basically, with the Architect and the Oracle working at opposite ends for their own results.

One member of the original trilogy is still alive, though, and although he's on the council and doesn't enter the Matrix any longer, he's had one encounter with the new Agent during his second to last trip inside of the Matrix - that man is Morpheus.

On his last trip inside, Morpheus goes to see the Oracle and confronts her with his knowledge...the Oracle informs him that while it IS essentially Neo, in many ways it also isn't, and there's been a precedent for The One becoming the new Agent in times past - The One re-entering the system to re-emerge as the new Agent some years later has happened once or twice before, although it's been rarely done and only as an experiment on the part of the Architect to see how the program of the One can integrate with the program of the Agent. How the new One will incorporate that knowledge into his plans is basically up to him, and furthermore it's up to Morpheus to decide whether or not it's even worth telling the new One and the rest of Zion about.

Morpheus is initially uncertain of how to proceed, but he decides to follow Neo's original lead by making a certain choice of action and sticking with it. He opts to inform the new One of Agent Anderson's true identity and what he learned from the Oracle. How, or even if, Neo's old identity could be restored to him is a mystery to everyone, however...of course, while all this is going on, there's chases, action, The One facing off against Agent Anderson (who, to the surprise of everyone, is strangely able to hold his own against The One and puts in a fairly decent showing whenever they go at it).

The fact that Agent Anderson/Neo can stand toe to toe with The One convinces him that Neo is still inside somewhere and the Matrix hasn't been succesful in totally erasing his identity - but the key to triggering his old memory and restoring his old self is still the problem. No doubt either the Oracle or the Architect could do so, but of course they wouldn't.

Morpheus, towards the end, slaps himself when he didn't think of it at least somewhat sooner, but he sets his best computer/Matrix hackers to work at creating a subprogram within the Matrix - a Trinity program, designed to try and elicit the buried subconscious mind within Agent Anderson and restore him to himself. At the best, she could succeed, and at the worst, Agent Anderson would kill her - either way, something worth the effort.

Anyway, I've got two different ways the story goes after that - in one, the Trinity program works and Agent Anderson restores his identity as Neo, teams up with the new One and they both take on The Architect program together - eventually, they defeat him by Agent Smith's old trick - Agent Anderson and The One merge into each other and while doing so simultaneously merge with The Architect, which results Neo's death, the One's death, and a complete and total system failure - in essence, ALL the machines become lifeless hulks ready for a long haul to the scrapyard, and everyone still locked into The Matrix at that point simply dies, but even with 95% of mankind decimated and destroyed, the human races picks itself up out of the ashes, wipes away what's left of the Machine City and rebuilds the Earth from the ground up.

In the second ending, the Trinity program fails and it all falls onto the shoulders of The One to end the whole shebang - and I haven't quite decided how that one ends yet :D

The dialogue I didn't bother with, for obvious reasons, because you'd all be reading this post for a very, very long time...but I'm curious as to what you all think of it anyway....

You guys trashing Aliens are crazy. That movie is a CLASSIC, period. Non stop action, great plot........who gives a flying fuck about the dialogue, this aint Shakespeare! In fact, it's the only Alien movie that's watchable. The first one is boring, 3 is a mixed bag, and 4 is horrific. I agree about LOTR to an extent. They were overlong and mostly boring.

To each their own, I just can't stomach it. Maybe if I watched the last half when people start getting toasted it'd be ok.

I liked all of the Aliens movies except for Alien 3; Resurrection's first half was OK for me, but having Ripley humping aliens and being a mother figure for them was just too fuckin' wierd for me...the first half was decent, I thought.

there's a guy stuck in the Charles De Gaulle airport in Paris...
i think he's been there for 14 years. but thats cos he doesn't want to leave, even though he can.

Man, have I seen some bad movies... let's start with fuckin' "GODZILLA"-the Matthew Broderick one. BLOWS CHUNX!! Just like every other movie by Roland Emmerich... "Day After Tomorrow", "Independence Day", "Universal Soldier"... Emmerich is the worst director EVER.

"Batman Returns" sucked so bad I never wanted to go to the movies again-I actually walked out of that one.

"Rushmore" is for fuckin fags. I walked out on that one too. The only 2 films I ever walked out on...

"Matrix 2 & 3" can kiss my fuckin ass every day for the next year.

I hate to say I saw "Jurassic Park 3"... Guess what... It BLOWS.

I agree with Bueno Bob about the Matrix movies (here's a vote for you)

Titanic was the biggest disappointment ever

Also, the Terminator sequels...the first movie was great, but the sequels sucked.

[nosuchluck]

Titanic was really funny...i dont know why.
my friends and i couldn't stop laughing.

[bueno bob]

Terminator 2 was goofy...but I thought T3 had a nice twist to it and it played well at home...wasn't much of a "theater" flick...

[thebuldawg]

bob, I think your Resurgence idea was good, but that's probably because I liked all 3 Matrix movies. I definitely agree with you on the not so happy ending theory too.

I think that the biggest reason that the last two Matrix movies weren't well recieved was that the first one raised the bar so high that while the next two, while doing the same things as the first, didn't do anything other than wrap the story up. "Ergo" since there was nothing to make you sit up and say, "That's some cool new shit!" like the first one, they were veiwed as far inferior in comparison. "Vis-a-vis" they get bad reviews.





I do have to say the Architect thing was lame. No one talks like that, machine or not.

The only part of Titanic that was tolerable was the boat sinking. Lets see. BOAT SINKS & PEOPLE DIE. That part isn't gonna change. "I didn't see it coming......"
PURE PAP.

The 2 new STAR WARS movies. "Oh Yeah! I was a kid in '77."
BORING.

Something About Mary. Loathsome.

[Seshmeister]

I think the problem about the new Star Wars films is that people forgot the old ones were kids films.

Ewoks for fuck sake...:)

Then when the new ones came out they were all shocked.

Would you get excited about a new Muppet film?

Same difference.

I bought the remastered Star Wars trilogy 3/4 years ago because I thought I should have it but it's still in the wrapper.

Cheers!

:gulp:

You are truly my fucking hero!!! It's nice to know that I'm not the only one in the world that cheered when Leo's face fucking sunk. LMAO!!!

"I'm the king of the world!!!" LMAO!!! Now you are the king of icy parasites you bastard!!!

I cheered like when the good guys defeat the bad guys at the end of a Summer Action Packed Blockbuster or a field goal winning kick of a close game!!!!

Seriously, one couldn't pay me enough to ever sit through that movie EVER again.

On a sidenote: I think Kate Winslett is one sexy woman though. ;)

The only reason I sat through that entire piece of shit is so (besides my wife hitting me) is so that I could truthfully tell everyone how horrible it was.

I think I'd choose a public lynching over sitting through that ever again.

Hell on Earth my friend. Whatever we did earlier in life, we paid dearly sitting through that shit ONCE!!!!

Clean slate after that!!!!

Fucking Celine Dion singing to boot!!!!

That was the Dear Lord above and his personal warning to me to straighten up and fly right cos that flick gives an entirely new meaning to "Lord have mercy on this man's soul!!!"

[Matt White]

AMEN!!!

[Mr Badguy]

Hey, I forgot "Highlander II : The Quickening".

The first film was brilliant with a perfect ending.

Then they make a sequel about the immortals coming from another planet and bring Sean Connery back to life.

What a load of shit.

[Mr Badguy]

Same with "Terminator III".

The end of "Terminator II : Judgement day" was great with all the loose ends tied up.

Then Arnie`s career bombs and he gets some fuckwit to write a new film that spoils the original films.

I don`t know how you can critisize any of the "Alien" films with turkeys like these hitting the theatres.

It was almost even worse...they also wanted to bring Kurgan back for it, but the dude that played him (can't remember his name) backed out, sensing a stinker...good move...

[bueno bob]

Speaking of Highlander, I just can't grasp it. The first movie ENDED everything! Then, of course, Highlander II rolled around, then we got Highlander III, which pretend either that H2 never happened or that it hadn't happened YET (can't figure that out) - after that, we get the TV show with thousands of other immortals running around, including Connor (WTF?!?!?!?), then End Game where Connor gets KILLED by Duncan...plus the gayass cartoon...I just can't make heads or tails about where that story is supposed to be at...?

Man, I try to just remember it as the original film, which was an excellent piece of fantasy film making, and forget ALL of the shitty sequels/cartoons/TV shows.

"Highlander III" was stupid because it had three immortals locked in a cave for 3000 years or something, and "The prize" would only be won when only one remained.

Surely he couldn`t get "The prize" with those three still in the cave?

I can`t even explain it, it`s too stupid.

[bueno bob]

Stupid is exactly the word.

On a related note, I had to go see "Titanic" in the theater. Because I knew that they KNEW I was out there and hadn't been to see it yet. I knew that somebody was sitting back somewhere going "Uh, you know, Robert Bright hasn't seen this film yet - keep it in the theaters for a while until he gets the hint."

So I finally went to see it and two days later it was gone.

Sorry I kept you all away from GOOD movies for so long.

[Panamark]

Highlander II ! What a crock of shit..

Anyone mentioned Robocop III yet ??

[Mr Badguy]

Yeah, so many of those 80`s sci-fi/fantasy films were great one offs and didn`t deserve to be cheapened by inferior sequels.

[Mr Badguy]

Hey, anyone remember "Battle beyond the stars" starring Richard Thomas and George Peppard?

I think they were trying to cash in on "Star wars".

What a crock!

At least they never made a sequel to that.

In fact, there`s no doubt it was a cash in.

Check the similarities:

Young man refered to as "Kid", mentored by an old man and using a mythical energy force, has to find mercenaries to save his planet which is being threatened by a dictator in a spaceship with a laser gun big enough to destroy it.

What a good idea.

Pity George Lucas thought of it first.

[hard rock]

i got to go with lost in translation. also someone here mentioned that The Terminal was un realistic because a guy spent 9 months in a terminal. Ah hello that is based on a true story.

there is an iranian dude who has been stuck in a paris airport for 21 years . i dont remember his name but he was in a lot of newpapers when the movie was out. he cant fly out of paris because his passport is not good and iran doesnt want him for some crimes he had and france wont take him in.

He made tons selling the right to his story. he claims he spends 4-5 bucks a day in food and news papers to keep him busy. he gets his food free from people who have worked at the food outlets who know him in exchange for cleaning up tables and taking out trash etc etc

[stringfelowhawk]

Here's one that should be shown in its entirety instead of cut down to two hours. You see all of The Abyss and it makes a hellova lot more sense. Otherwise, its fucking undecipherable!

This is personal for me. I hate the first Star Trek but liked 2-7. I don't care if the inferior generation gets lost on a stray wave that goes out in space instead of my tv. I hated that shit.

I may get flamed for this but I'm not the only person I know who thinks George Lucas and Stanley Kubrick are the two most overrated humans to ever breathe. I can't stand anything Kubrick did and I have never been into Star Wars. Its not because I haven't tried. I've sat and tried to watch them on more than 7 occassions and I've fallen asleep each fucking time. They just bore the shit out of me. Lucas' only saving grace is the Indiana Jones franchise.

On tv? Seinfeld has to be the most overrated show to ever see airtime. I've sat through a few of those shows and they are so fucking boring when I can't sleep I turn it on and I'm out before I set the remote down. You know, cause that shows sindication deal made sure no future generation will ever have taste in television again since it runs every 30 mins on every fucking channel here. The kicker is, they only show Seinfeld commercials during episodes of Seinfeld to remind you its coming on again in 30 mins.

Yeah! And the next few didn't have Queen's music in them. And they are un-watchable!

"There can be ONLY one!" Too bad they didn't take that to heart!

Independence Day, Men In Black 2, The Ring, Armageddon. All Blew goats!

Now "Cecil B. Demented", That's a film!:D

[DLR7884]

I'll probably take shit for this, but I'd have to say "Braveheart" is over rated.

It's one of those movies that you MUST see, I agree with that.

Hell, I enjoyed the movie quite a bit.

Part of what makes a good movie a good movie is watching it more than once......I can't sit through the whole God damn movie ever again.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

DLR7884
BTW~all 3 Matrix movies sucked, especially the last 2.
