Worst Kind of Movies

[Pixel--Dude]

What kind of movies do you think are the worst? For me it has to be super hero movies. I think they are terrible. All these endless marvel and DC sagas just serve to bore the absolute shit out of me. Not only are these types of movies boring with lack of story, but the actors get paid a f***ing fortune to do pretty much f**k all. In a 3 hour movie they might get paid millions of dollars for 30 minutes of acting and the rest of the movie is just them in CGI. Absolute dog shit.

I also think romance genre is really shit as well. These movies make me feel sick and they also set an unrealistic standard for relationships. It's because of this genre that a lot of relationships end up dysfunctional.

A lot of superhero movies are big screen films, if you want to watch action. The Guardians of the Galaxy movies were funny and entertaining, too. What do you mean by 'worst'? Worst for impact on society, or worst for unentertaining?

I am sure there are many genres of porn out there, well any genre, that takes a little piece out of someone's life whenever they watch it. A lot of Hollywood movies are probably similar, sometimes to a lesser degree.

For entertainment, though, romance movies vary. I was watch a scene from 'When Harry Met Sally.' It promoted some of the same lousy sexual morals that a lot of films promote, minus some of the more recent homosexual stuff. But it was very well acted. Does it give unrealistic expectations? I don't know. The characters were both broken and flawed in their own ways. But that is one of the better ones. Meg Ryan did an IMO much more boring and flat movie with Tom Hanks that women went crazy for 'Sleepless in Seattle' back during that era. Some women liked it as it was along the 'An Affair to Remember' movie with Carey Grant, which I'd seen on TV with my mom in the room and thought was kind of dumb as a teenager. 'You've Got Mail' was somewhere in between.

The bottom of the barrel for romance is probably those little predictable made-for-TV Hallmark movies. I'm sure there are some B romance movies that are much worse. Come to think of it, just about anything produced in Indonesian that I've seen, except for 'Isteri Dari Masa Depan'-- wife from the future which was actually a romance movie of sorts-- was a chore to watch. FIlm writing was sorely lacking over there, but I am more familiar with the early 2000's era. I watched translated Mexican Telenovelas a little with dubbing to pick up on some of the language, but ended up with formal vocabulary. I could stand to watch the news, but had low tolerance for the unentertaining shows. I knew a white guy who co-wrote for one of the shows, though, that was supposed to be better written and more popular.

I never even saw the episode of a show I acted on. I am not a medical doctor, but I played on on TV.

I think some of the recent superhero shows are okay for entertainment. Some are pretty entertaining, and some of the recent movies after infinity war are kind of dull, even if the special effects are decent. Maybe because I saw them on a big TV screen instead of in the movie theater.

I kind of like sci fi sometimes. I liked some films that got low ratings or rankings. The Butterfly Effect, an old sci fi film, has a tomatometer score of 34% but an audience score of 81%. This is one of those examples of when not to trust critics. They want art, not entertainment, I suppose.

But I The Fifth Element, rated 71% Tomatometer Audience reviews 86%. The dialogue was off from the get-go and it was really unfulfilling when Bruce Willis did not knock out that annoying Christ Tucker character with a punch to the head.

I actually liked BattleShip Earth with a 3% tomatometer rating and a 12% audience rating. I thought it was entertaining, though a bit formulaic. I thought some parts were funny if you didn't take the movie too seriously. But hearing about its association with the cult Travolta follows made me like it less.

I think LOTR movies are overrated. For entertainment, if you like watching action on the big screen, they are okay for that. Nerds who read the books sometimes like the storyline, but you sit there for hours and nothing resolves. I realized how ridiculous one of them was when they were sitting around throwing out a bunch of mumbo jumbo names about some fake history that happened in the LOTR universe....and they held us hostage for over two hours and didn't get around to killing the dragon. It's like they never heard of the cutting room floor.

There was also a Dark Knight Batman movie many years back where it seemed like they wasted five minutes of our time watching Batman walk down the hallway of a hospital. They crammed 90 minutes of action into two hours and twenty or forty minutes or whatever. Filmmakers need to respect the fact that people have other things to do in their lives.

Then there is garbage like La La Land that wins academy awards because the people who give them out like to watch boring movies about their own industry. They lost me when the two main characters started dancing against a purple background in the sky. And the lesson that dating someone who won't commit makes you a better person and helps you get where you are going in life is kind of a lame message and not a perspective I want my kids learning. A woman choosing career over a man who presumably would be a suitable life partner isn't a good message either, IMO.

That being said, I used to enjoy movies more than I do now. They are pretty much a waste of time for the most part.

Hahaha!

That's annoying. Woody Allen used the handycam type approach to filming back in the day for dramas. I hate those cut scenes for fighting. I remember seeing them in one of the 'Taken' movies with Liam Neeson. I figured he probably couldn't do martial arts so they had to use cut scenes. It makes me dizzy and it's boring to watch.

Everything that came out these last few years. Movies and TV both stopped being enjoyable near the end of 2006, shit went downhill horribly bad ever since the West became so hell bent on pushing communism and far left propaganda in everything. It's like the entire purpose is to make you hate the f**k out of living. That's why I usually just watch a lot of stuff from the early 2000s all the way down from there. Beyond 2006 I noticed everything changing in a very bad way rather quickly. Look how Fast & The Furious went from drag racing to full blown action BS once The Rock got involved with the movies. I mean granted they always sucked but now its just flat out ridiculous. And then Michael Bay just committing the worse of sins to Transformers and TMNT.

For the most part, horror movies are just plain dull and unimaginative, so it is time to stop pretending that you like them.

I was thinking the other day about John Wayne! That guy is a f***ing terrible actor! My auntie really loved watching his movies. Even @Winston claims to really enjoy his films. But objectively he's just a shit, one-dimensional actor. Check out this trailer for Genghis Khan starring John Wayne. His acting is awful! Not only that, but everyone who worked with him said he was an arsehole. Talk about worst movies we ever saw! Anything with John Wayne!

The acting in those clips was terrible. I looked the movie up and it said while it made a profit at the box office, the film is considered one of the worst movies ever made. Of course, it has been done more now, but seeing a lot of money spent on horses running around doesn't make me want to see a movie.

John Wayne's acting isn't really acting. It's more like a comedian talking trying to imitate John Wayne. He says everything about the same way, like John Wayne. But the dialogue in those clips was especially badly acted out.

I also just read that Wayne took the role after Marlon Brando backed out. I read that Brando changed acting. Before his influence changed it, film actors used a (fake-sounding) stage style. On the stage, actors had to project their voices. On film with sound, they could be more realistic, and that is how Brando acted, and others followed. It looks like the new style had not been used on this film, which uses the silly-sounding melodramatic style of films of the early 20th century.

The idea of white John Wayne as Ghengis Khan is a little silly, IMO, especially if he sounds like John Wayne. He couldn't even fake a Mongolian accent for the role? And while the leading lady isn't bad-looking, I think films tend to have better-looking leading ladies now.

I would say the worst big-name actor movies I've seen are--- overall Mother! and for sci-fi, The Fifth Element. That was just a terrible piece of garbage.

I wouldn't count Naked Lunch, because I don't know if the Robocop guy from the 80's counts as a big name actor. That might have been nearly as lousy as Mother! It was late and I walked out half-way through that movie and never saw the end.

But I saw Mother! on DVD and I kept laying there waiting for the movie to redeem itself, not believing the movie could continue to be as bad as it was.

I normally like Sci Fi. Some people think The Fifth Element is awesome and love the costumes. I just found the movie so annoying I couldn't follow the plot. The dialogue was just weird and off from the first scene. And I just waited around for the Bruce Willis character to smack, punch, shoot, or kill that super annoying Chris Tucker character. I don't think he even got killed off by a random bullet.

John Wayne was popular because of all those tough guy roles he use to play in a vast majority of films in his younger years, and then he continued doing those roles even in his 50s, 60s, and 70s. I believe that's what made him so mainstream is he did so many roles like this, although I have never watched a single one of his films from beginning to finish.

I honestly feel that every movie that gets made in this current generation is garbage....They all have this "Woke" feeling to them now too which is another reason I avoid cinema of any thing modern at all. It's hard to pick out what is the worse kind of film from the earlier years. I hated movies like Higher Learning though, they were doing the whole political dumb shit long before it became as weaponized as it is now. I mean you had your Jew, your white supremacist, the woman who becomes a lesbian feminist because her boyfriend raped her, you had the Black Power types, it was such a shitty movie begging for attention. Then there were awkward films like The Sorority Boys....Terrible stuff.

I saw one of his films where he brought a French prostitute to Alaska to replace another French woman his friend had, and his front wasn't interested. The woman misunderstood and thought John Wayne's character had proposed marriage, and the movie was about their relationship. Other than that, I think I've just seen bits and pieces.

You can easily look them up on youtube and find clips. But Sorority Boys showed just how far Hollywood was willing to go to humiliate White males by having them pretending to be girls. And even though Crossdressing is a very old form of theater. When people did that many years ago it wasn't used as a means to dehumanize or humiliate them. Like Japanese theater for instance. Today when you see that sort of thing in cinema, it's to humiliate the actors in the worse way you possibly can. That's why a lot of those films have a lot of heavy gay influencing elements in them. As for Higher Learning, it was just a very heavy politicized film. It tried too hard.
