I mean, "The Rock is in the movie" was a selling point for the film so the, uh, lack of his presence at the climax was frustrating. Forget the monster and just have THE ROCK and I think people remember the movie more fondly. CGI Rock was a huge letdown.
As much as I dislike Snyder films, his Watchman film was awesome. I do think his Dawn of the Dead remake is overrated. The opening scene sequence was a lot of fun, but the film itself was stripped down and lacking in character development, story, and setting which are all strengths of the original. Also, the original was a politically charged film - given it explores the political developments of social and political developments and conflict during the outbreak of a zombie pandemic. But the remake (like most recent films) is politically sanitized.
The "Save Martha!" scene probably would've worked better if Superman had just said, "Save my mom" or something, and if they'd filmed it in such a way that it looked like he was exhausted and nearing death. You could've had a moment where Batman has a "Am I the bad guy?" realization and then decides that he can't go through with it.
Or, in a rational, non-comics world, Superman would've just straight up stated before the fight started "Lex Luthor is manipulating us into doing this. He has my human mother held hostage where I can't find her. What did he do to get you into this?", at which point Batman should've immediately realized that stealing that Kryptonite from Luthor was just a bit too easy. And even if he didn't, Alfred, who was listening in, would've gone "hey, wait a second, Master Bruce". The way they set up this fight was ridiculously contrived, is what I'm sayin'... At least in the graphic novel from which they lifted (the idea, if not the execution of) this fight, they had a good reason for throwing down. It was basically Clark's way to allow his friend to go out on his own terms
Honorable mention for Luc Besson's "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets" who, after it became apparent that it was a box office bomb, vigorously defended his film and blamed "American audiences" for the commercial failure. Sorry Luc - we wanted to like it, just like we loved the "Fifth Element", but the erratic storytelling, the huge departure from the source material and the worst lead actor castings of all time Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne resulted in a movie that almost no-one liked after about the 15 minute mark.
I just watched it for the first time the other day. It was.... Meh. About the most mid Sci-Fi movie you can imagine. That's fine, I like Sci-Fi, so I didn't think it was terrible.

When you watch the CGI in Benjamin Button,which is brilliant,you’d never think the mummy returns is only 5 years older and is awful. Time should not be the excuse
Olga Kurylenko's Camille Montes was Quantum of Solace's saving grace- and of all the films on this list, its the best of an indifferent lot. Snyder never once understood how to present a superhero film.
QoS is better than Spectre and No Time To Die. Some people said that Pierce was great but given bad films. I think Daniel stole that crown easily. The best bond movies I have seen lately are called Mission Impossible. They even had their own Spectre(Rogue Nation) and it was leagues better and the payoff from Fallout was great. QoS is rewatchable and is a great back to back from Casino Royal, after skyfall, the writing fell off a cliff and I can't sit thought them.
@@watsomd My favourite bond was Timothy Dalton (he really gave me the impression that he could be licenced to kill), and yet his Bond films are among the very worst.
Sorry but Quantum of Solace (terrible name btw) is a masterpiece compared to the boring slog that is Spectre everything after the amazing opening sequence is a punish to get through.
To anyone who says the CGI was bad in The Mummy Returns - how many anthropomorphic immortal scorpion demon Dwayne Johnson creatures have you seen in real life? You don't know what it's supposed to look like.
@joshpetzoldt6344 maybe the portal or whatever the hell transports creatures from the netherealm to the Earth realm distorts your face, and makes you look like an N64 game. We have so many questions, but no real answers.
M. Night was simply the wrong guy to direct Airbender. I can envision the boardroom meeting now- we need a director for this fantasy Kung Fu movie, let’s get the guys who did the matrix-nah, how about the guy who did the Transporter films- nah, okay how about dude who did the Jason Bourne movies- nah, I’ve got it! We need a guy who makes slow paced horror movies that no one knows what’s going on until the last five minutes!!! Brilliant!!! 💪🏿🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸✊🏿
What went wrong with *Cats* is that the director wouldn't allow the cast to wear mocap suits, which makes matching the CGI to the live action a little bit impossible
The Martha moment isn’t the worst thing about Batman vs Superman; it was just a very stupid way to end Batman fighting Superman, and gave people something easy to laugh at, and meme. The main problem with BvS is…almost everything else: it’s dull, po-faced, and overly long, with incredibly unlikeable characters, and one of the worst, most annoyingly grating main villains in all of cinema history. Zach Snyder is one of the worst storytellers to have ever helmed major films; he is completely style over substance, seemingly preferring to focus on how things look, rather than telling a cohesive story. I could go on, about everything that is wrong with BvS, but it doesn’t deserve to be given that much time; it’s best left forgotten completely.
Wreck-It Ralph, Zootopia, Moana, Encanto, Raya and the Last Dragon, Strange World and Wish are, to my knowledge, all original stories. And most, if not all, Pixar movies are too.
THat's now what happened. Trolls like you posted naked pictures of Leslie Jones and called her an ape, and when anyone spoke out against the bullying, the trolls doubled down on the race bait by falsely claiming that "anyone who doesn't like the movie is being called an istaphobe"
I don't understand the hate for the Cats outfits. I saw this movie when it came out and how they were dressed didn't bother me one bit. The movie was long but I thought it was good, outside of the weird acting from Wilson and Corden
The costumes could have been forgiven if the directing of the songs wasn't so awful. Completely butchers the music to the point of changing the featured cats personalities. His projects get Oscars for the sound, because of the herculean efforts that people have to go through to make it slightly presentable.
I think, "rad" - is actually the best description of Hellboy. Yes, it has some flaws, but it's very dynamic and creature design is... well, it wont appeal to everyone, but it's undeniable very bold.
The cats in “Cats” look just like the ones in the commercials for the theatre production I saw as a kid. I really don’t see what the problem is. Were people expecting accurate depictions of animals like in “The Lion King” live action remake?
The Hellboy reboot works as an anthology series.... but not as a movie. The scenes are fun and the look good... but together they don't work as a coherent story.
The one that got me recently was Ridley Scott blaming the Zoomers for why "The Last Duel" flopped. I'm a Gen X and I thought it sucked too. I think the Zoomers were lucky that they didn't go see it, it was boring AF. Yet, for Ridley, it's those youngin's that -didn't get off his lawn- I mean, those young people that didn't watch his films, fault for it failing. Of course it would have nothing to do with the story or the writing or even the director for making a boring movie... it's those bloody kids. So many directors blame everyone else for their horrible creations, but never where it truly belongs, on themselves. Not every thing they create can be gold, get over themselves.
The original home alone was also panned by critics. Slapstick humor never reviews well. Also the problem with cats is that the original musical is a nonsensical mess.
Ah, Quantum of Solace... the fantastic movie where a Bolivian woman is played by a Russian actress (Olga Kurylenko) who win the role to an Israeli actress (Gal Gadot)...
Daniel Craig is the worst Bond and the run of films he is in are, unarguably, the worst. Home Alone failed because people don't typically respond well to female characters getting beat up.
In fairness, I didn't think that David Harbor's Hellboy was better than it has been given credit for. I don't think any of the Mummy trilogy had decent CGI. Sure the Scorpion King was really, bad, but its not like the rest of the CGI aged well.
@RBweb24 no, and I think that's probably why I was able to just enjoy it for what it is. I didn't have any expectations of any characters being a certain way or anything.
![I.N "HALLUCINATION" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/n5B5q1Hwt_U/mqdefault.jpg)
"Mummy returns" has one scene with horrible CGI, but it wasn't a "terrible movie".
And the rest of the effects, as I recall, were really good. It's true the technology just wasn't as good back then.
IMHO it is awful ✌🏻
Brandon Fraser's Mummy reboot is one of the best reboot franchises ever.
I mean, "The Rock is in the movie" was a selling point for the film so the, uh, lack of his presence at the climax was frustrating. Forget the monster and just have THE ROCK and I think people remember the movie more fondly. CGI Rock was a huge letdown.
I feel the same way. I enjoyed the mummy returns
"It was a good idea but there was a better way to do it," sums up most of Zack Snyder's film career.

Depends on what kind of language they were using to defend it.

Glad to say I didn't see most of them....
Wow. I’m surprised anyone but me even remembers Serenity. A unique combination of ‘terrible’ and ‘amnesia-inducing’
I liked the 2019 Hellboy... And it has nothing to do with my 20+ years long crush on Milla Jovovich either.
I'm surprised 2016 Ghostbusters isn't on here.
It's actually a decent film, what's bad about it?
Ghostbusters 2016 wasn’t that bad.
That movie was firmly middling. It was neither a particularly bad movie or a particularly good movie. Just kind mediocre and forgettable
@marioozzie it's not in the slightest bit funny, it's a steaming pile of woke shite 🤷🏻♂️
Probably because no one who helped create the ghostbusters atrocity reboot is defending it in public or during its Theatrical run

Lmfao ofc the fight between batman and superman was over quickly. Bruce beats clark in just about any universe.
Someone should make an "Aliens!" meme photo with Spielberg instead of Tsoukalos. 😂
I liked The Lone Ranger
I enjoyed Hellboy I wouldn't say it's up there as much as Milla jovovich says it is but I enjoyed it it wasn't a bad movie.
Part of his hate for Milla was for her saying the cast and crew were fantastic. Which is a terrible criticism.
@LexLuthor0719 cool name
I didn't know Harbour at the time, I'd give it a try now, *BUT* *NOBODY* is going to be Ron Perlman

What went wrong with *Cats* is that the director wouldn't allow the cast to wear mocap suits, which makes matching the CGI to the live action a little bit impossible
I find it bizarre that the show was a long-running musical with iconic costumes; and yet the director decided to go with far more expensive cgi.
I thought it was because the director didn't have the guts to release the "butthole" edition. LOL
“All those years later” bro it’s only been 5 years… Millas right….
