Disappointing movies...

[shamammashouse]

I was really disappointed in Public Enemies. It was too long, the story line got a little boring at times and I really hated the camerawork and how it was filmed

 

[raisinboy]

I wasn't really disappointed cause I haven't been expecting that much after the trailers, but I was hyped after the tv shows, so Terminator: Salvation was still a harrowing experience for me. I don't expect to see anything worse this year.

LOL you thought it was bad? I heard it was kinda good? but also having to hear what had happened with the movie prior to it being released turned me off about christian bale and the movie itself. Let the spam begin!

 

[raisinboy]

Who are those people who always tell you they loved those bad movies? *lol*

No, Terminator: Salvation is bad. Really, really bad. The worst of the franchise. It's aptly directed and has some nice looking action sequences, but its storyline doesn't make any sense and you don't care about the characters at all, it becomes dull.
And yeah, if everything I read is true, I also blame Christian Bale.

 

[bloop2]

Yeah I did not appreciate what he had done when he was in the studio to that employee.. I heard his spazztic attack and I was heart broken! My sisters boyfriend was the one who had told me it was good so, it seemed good on the trailer but .. then i hated how he still treated that guy.. what a dink!

 

[raisinboy]

Yeah, but that's not what ruined the movie (though it was a douche-move). Word is, McG asked Bale to star in the movie, but Bale insisted on playing John Connor. But - John Connor only had one scene in the first draft of the screenplay, it wasn't planned as a movie about John Connor. So Bale forced the studio to re-write the script. They did it - without changing their original storyline, just exchanging some scenes for scenes with John Connor. The movie doesn't make sense now. Seriously. It's full of plot holes and plot contrivances and one-dimensional characters. If you just wanna see explosions and some robot action, you could watch it - but then, even Transformers 2 did those better.

 

[bloop2]

Oh.. I didn't know that.. =(.. but the reason why I didn't want to watch the movie was because of his verbal attack towards the person .. but good to know that little detail..

Oh shit...i'm going to see that next weekend

I've heard good and bad about it so liking it seems to be pretty subjective. It isn't one of those movies that everyone likes but there are those who like it so maybe you'll think differently

CLOVERFIELD - another overhyped "look at your watch and :yawn: very 15 minutes" movie

 

[raisinboy]

Heh. I loved Cloverfield. It was exactly what I expected and wanted it to be.

 

[bloop2]

OMG I HATED CLOVERFIELD!! .. Raising is it that you and I can never seem to angry on anything?! lol as much as I love you I hated that movie and it was terrible! It was blair witch all over agian the camera work was just terrible.. I understand the effect that it was trying to give.. but I WANTED TO PUKE after 15 minutes of the movie I was so nauseous and it was this.. kind of like comedy and serious plot.. anyways.. it was .. just not for me.. =( I wouldn't watch the second movie if another one comes out

 

[raisinboy]

I've never had problems with shaky camerawork, not with Blair Witch (which I don'T like that much), not with Cloverfield and I saw both of them on the big screen. My boyfriend got a little nauseous, but he also liked the movie.
Though I don't see any comedy in Cloverfield, it'S serious from start to finish.
If the camerawork turned you off, I guess you could still watch the sequel. I don't think they will repeat the style, Blair Witch 2 was also radically different from the different (and sucked so much that it killed the franchise).

It'S funny, I remember watching Woody Allen's "Husbands and Wives" on the big screen back in the early 90s (yes, I'm that old) and people were getting nauseous from the camerawork because they weren't used to handcamera. Maybe the Cloverfield-style will seem totally normal in twenty years.

I wouldn't call the camera work terribly. Actually, whether you liked Cloverfield, its simple plot and the style in which it's been done or not, the camerawork, editing and directing was outstanding. Just from a technical viewpoint, of course. And I can totally appreciate that.

 

[bloop2]

You don't remember the part where it was funny in cloverfield raisin? remember!! when uhm.. they were going up and climing up the rocks that had fallen after the big monster.. and .. they were in the balcony.. and there was one part.. and remember in the party? in the beginning of the movie? there were a couple of funny parts.. argh I wish i can still remember but it's been so long after i've watched the movie but its there lol .. I guess its because I can't handle the moving camera work.. even with video games that allows you to do a 360 degree turn it makes me so sick.. even first person games .. they make me barf

 

[raisinboy]

Well, the characters sometimes said a few funny things to ease up their own tension - but that's not comedy. Taken in its context, it's all still drama.

 

[bloop2]

Well .. I guess that's what I mean.. I guess comic relief? .. but uhm.. i just didn't like it.. but hey I hope we can talk about that you and I really like.. uhm.. *ponders.. even though that this is a disappointing movie category.. :S.. HOW ABOUT BRIDE WARS!! did you like that?!?! CUZ I CRIED IN IT CUZ I LOVED IT!

 

[raisinboy]

You actually cried in Bride Wars?

I saw it ten days ago but even though I have a soft spot for chick flicks and didn't expect that much, I still didn't like it. Kate Hudson was just too unlikable, I would have preferred not to know who to root for but I was firmly on Anne Hathaway's side. Though I didn't understand why they had to fight and not just go with a double wedding - the conflict was too constructed. I felt sorry for their spouses. And Anne Hathaway ending up with Kate Hudson's brother was just ridiculous, they had two scenes together and it felt really forced. But at least I had Chris Pratt to look at.

 

[bloop2]

I agree chris pratt is so adorable!! the reason why they didn`t do a double wedding was because anne wanted her own special day and didn`t want the attention to be divided between them two but just onto hers. I knew they were gonna be paired up and I think it was a cute. The part that I had cried at was when they had walked out of their rooms and was across from each other in front of the hall to walk in to the wedding room.. and saw each other in their wedding dress it was a very heart felt moment..!!

 

[raisinboy]

Yeah, I got their reason to fight, I just didn't buy into it.

 

[bloop2]

LOL oh raisin.. so hard to please baby =P
