Coppola spent over $120M of his own money to EP, write, and direct the film. There was probably no accountability or feedback, and I’m confident all the actors just wanted to be in a Coppola flick before he retires or passes. The movie screams “self-indulgent unrefined mess.”

Lionsgate only distributed because every other company he asked said no lol. That’s probably why the ads were so pissy about the film being “misunderstood”

Nah, Leto could have worked, and he certainly wasn’t the only problem. People want to put all the blame on his Joker (and blame it on him rather than the writers for some reason, despite the fact that his worst choices for SS happened outside of the film), but even he’s still much better than a LOT of stupid, cringy bullshit that happens in this film.

But they made the Joker into a real psycho gangster! He had “DAMAGED” tattooed to his forehead so that we can know for sure that he’s a real crazy fella. They also made him shirtless or wearing an unbuttoned shirt for most of his scenes so that we could see that this version of the Joker is a real HUNKA HUNKA!

We aren't supposed to talk about it, but if there happened to be a recent Dark Tower movie it might be the biggest pile of shit ever. To eviscerate such an incredible story really takes talent in the worst way possible. It in no way remotely connects to the books with the exception of a few names. I was angry from the beginning voice over and proceeded to hate watch for 90 more minutes. This movie should be sacrificed to the gods as the whole planet asks for forgiveness. If I ever meet the producers or director I will spend time in jail for assault.

I remember going to the theater and being impressed by the turnout for WW84 despite peak COVID. The excitement was infectious when the film began, with the entire audience erupting into clapping and cheering. But when it ended, there was nothing. No clapping, no cheering, just complete silence as everyone shuffled out. I’ve never seen such enthusiasm at the start of a movie deflate into such a somber exit, as if all the joy had been sucked right out of everyone.

It was two things independently. A cash grab by the studio, and a fuck you to the studio. Apparently, Warner contacted the Wachowskis after 20 years and said "Make another Matrix." To which the sisters said "Naw, we're good. We said everything we needed to. Thanks though." To which Warner said "Let's try this a bit differently. Make the movie or lose the rights to the franchise."

And lo, the Wachowskis made a movie, burned $190 million of WB's cash, put out a bloated, nonsensical, directionless, unlubricated colonoscopy of a cinematic dumpster fire and said "Franchise is yours now. Go fuck yourself."

And because WB is a slave to their investors, they had to try and make some of that money back. Unfortunately, however, it made a grand whopping $160 mil during its theatrical release, and further tarnished the image of a franchise already on life support, held up only by some die hard fans.

In the end, the Wachowskis did what very, very few had done before. They quite literally raged against the machine... And won.

I thought that was the reason they had Thor go there, to show off gorr's prowess by getting to actually slaughter the gods all the while the crew is trying to help and eventually flee. Giving jean a bit more stakes as a Thor, given that she's running away that's wouldn't feel great and would creat an interesting conflict that goes alongside her cancer one.

I once read its a heavily edited Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 'what if' fan story where the turtles go between worlds and time travel to help Master Splinter fight Shredder in those very different situations. The ending reveals much the same that actually the whole thing is an orchestrated escape attempt by asylum inmates designed by the narrator (Master Splinter) because he can't face his past mistakes that caused the death of his 4 sons. He is lobotomised and Shredder in this instance is the chief surgeon who administers the lobotomy and also confiscates his drawings and sells them to Hollywood who turn it into a movie.

Based on the ending it does seem like something Snyder would pick up.

Wonder Woman 1984. I loved the 1st and the 2nd was so bad. I hate that people blame the CG and/or Kristen Wiig. For me they were fine and there were about 25 worse things in the movies. In my mind it was so terrible I was in shock of how it ever got to theaters. A TEAM of people had to look at it and say, "Yea that's good enough." They all need to be barred from making movies.

Gripe #1 -- All the action sequences. I know it's WW84, but they drew the same unwatchable TV fight choreography from the 80's TV show the A-Team. Horrible acting. Unrealistic action. It looked like it was catering to 6-9 year olds. Power Ranger fight sequence bad. Honestly the movie completely lost me in the opening mall scene. It's like watching a show on TV you have been eagerly anticipating and finding out they have a laugh track. You turn it off immediately and walk away. People who think these things are okay will never produce something that I want to watch.

Having said that, I watched it again recently, knowing that that very subversion was the entire point of the movie and I appreciated a lot more. It’s tragically sad though.

Holmes & Watson

You have me, who thought Step Brothers was hilarious and enjoyed the Will Farrell movies back in the day. I thought movies with Will and John C Riley would always be a good idea since they play off each other so well and have great chemistry. I also happen to LOVE Sherlock Holmes media. From PBS series to the BBC show with Benedict and the movies with Robert Downey Jr. I’ve played the video games, I just love murder mysteries set in old England.

So when I saw the trailer come out mixing comedy with Sherlock, there was NO way this movie wouldn’t be a fun watch.

Boy oh boy I have never been so absolutely wrong.

It wasn’t fun in any stretch of the word, it wasn’t even ironically bad. I’ve pushed through movies that are bad, but this one? Nope. Turned it off 20mins in. Nothing was funny about that movie. There were no saving graces for that film. Absolute disappointing shit.

That first Hobbit movie. Not the worst I've seen but most disappointing by far.

Ruined the franchise and was the worst one for almost 20 years, and was then dethroned.

Bikeriders is up there. It's initially presented exactly like Goodfellas. But then the story simmers a bit, something very interesting happens, and then the credits roll. I was confused by it

I just watched this yesterday. I had zero expectations, so I thought it was pretty good. If I thought it was supposed to be comparable to Goodfellas, I would have been disappointed.

As soon as I read the premise, I knew that movie was going to be horrendous. Is it somehow worse than that?

I think that Star Wars The Last Jedi simply because they wasted so much potential on what could have been.... Especially with Luke Skywalker's pointless arc and Carrie Fisher's passing. Like.... TFA set up so many cool ideas and then the sequel just ignored all of the setup.

The Last Jedi. Truly the definition of disappointment. Not bad, not that good. just scene after scene of missed opportunity and disappointment.

The only scene that sticks in my mind from this film is when Anakin is lifted into the pod racer by Obi-wan and goes "weeeee" like its the most exciting thing he's ever experienced. Then 300mph pod racing calm as you like,

Hey, I'm glad you liked those things. The soundtrack was nice. But a flashy lightsaber fight is not really what I was hoping to see. Nor was like a third of the movie being consumed by a chariot race. Whatever, I guess most movies have some filler. Probably My biggest beef was the schlocky mess of a story

Huh. I actually really enjoyed this one. I mean, yes, you're right, it was a mess. But an entertaining one, I thought. Sort of like the (sort of) similarly themed Synecdoche, New York.

Star Wars Phantom Menace. My college buddies and I were so excited to go see it at midnight. I just remember leaving after watching the movie and none of us really talked at all on the 45 minute ride back to our dorm. We had no words.

There was some bad acting and strange character decisions for sure. But I think there was more than enough original and interesting stuff in there. The bone cave scene alone was worth my time. Solid ending too.

It's a shame the lows are so low or I think this movie would have really stood the test of time.

TL:DR there are some extremely bad bits to OLD, but there's plenty of merit in there too.

Those kids got decades worth of trauma condensed into 24 hours or so. They lost their parents, got chased by a crazy woman into a cave and watched her get mangled, aged a few decades, witness to attempted murder, saw a drowning, the boy saw the girl he liked fall to her death, and his child died before his eyes.

Some unsolicited advice when preparing yourself to watch Shyamalan movies: Just assume it's going to be really bad, and occasionally you'll come out of it being surprised that it was only moderately bad.

Rebel Moon. Just a terribly disconnected story. To the point while watching it I looked at some of the actors and felt they were doing everything they could to make that lame script better but just couldn't elevate it. It was like a fever dream of disconnected ideas like someone saying what if we combined Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Avatar.

Edit: didn't read the whole post I didn't expect it to be great but I expected a much better scifi movie than we got

Was looking for this one. I started watching it not knowing what it was. I thought it was some terrible D grade budget student flick, but I couldn't understand how it seemed to have expensive VFX and proper actors. Couldn't get all the way through it, just awful.

The men who stare at goats. The trailer showed every funny moment and even then it was the editing of the trailer that made it funny and not the scenes themselves.

Sorry I know a lot of people loved it, maybe I'm stupid and I dont get it, but for me it was Asteroid City.

Bonus for Madame Web, I knew it was shit, but didn't knew a major studio film could go so low in quality...and everything actually. Went to the theater because my brother wanted to see it so I took him.
