It was a blockbuster hit, which is pretty much considered a "Great Film" in that aspect. Otherwise, no. It was shit.Nazulu said:
Oh god, do not bring up that.. Burton mind mockery of a film, please. >_<Nazulu said:
The only reason I wanted Spider Man to succeed in the third movie was because, well.. everyone else (mostly) sucked balls at their characters and emotions, and Spider Man obviously has to have Spider Man (unfortunately meaning Peter has to survive in turn, damn him!) to continue. Despite sucking himself, as well. Although in all honesty, Topher Grace was probably the only redeeming quality of that movie. Until the shitty Venom portrayal, of course.
Oh god yes. Couldn't they just use one or two trained cats or something?Treefingers said:
Then again, that wouldn't really save the scene, since the setup itself is just...meh.
So, let's see:
Requiem for a Dream - The whole movie is a bit over-the-top throughout, but it falls a bit apart during the ending.
Marion participating in an orgy that would make old-fashioned rape look preferable? Possible i guess, especially since Aronovsky claims to have seen something like this in RL (eww). Mrs. Goldfarb abused for weird electroshock-therapy and being treated like shit? Seems a bit far out, but well, i couldn't say impossible.
Harry and Tyrone being arrested and apperantly imprisioned without a real trial, and Harry only being brought into a hospital after he completely collapses, despite him being already in a hospital shortly before where a doctor has actually SEEN how f**ked up his arm is? Wha?

Spider Man 2 - Look, i don't really like Kirsten Dunst as it is, i don't need a mediocre actress acting as a kinda bad actress. Twice.
Lost in Translation - The "Japanese TV Shows are weird" scene. Come on, i can't really belive that no one gives Bob any translation or at least a short "briefing" about the show and what he's supposed to do in it!
Hot Fuzz - What's up with the over the top gore-y murders? If that was a joke, i didn't really get it. For me that felt unneccesary and almost like an attempt to shy away younger viewers who imo could also get lots of enjoyment out of it.
Inception - That last shot. Cheeeeaaaaaaap bait so that the audience has something to discuss at the end and so that the creators don't have to have a definite ending. Kinda the same with Prestige but there at least it wasn't anything the entire movie hinges on.
And....errrm...can't really come up with more right now. I may return.
Uhhh... Zombieland. My favorite movie ever, but the scene in the grocery store, just after Tallahassee goes batshit crazy on the big fat zombie with garden shears, it looks like Columbus is wanking his gun.
I'm not sure if it was intentional, but it still disturbed me.
And if it's brutal to watch, then Inglorious Basterds. Another movie I loved, but when... I forgot her name, but the chick in the bar with Wilhelm. *Spoiler Alert* When the doctor is treating her bullet wound, and Aldo Raine is interrogating her, and sticks his finger directly INTO the bullet wound. That was... ugh... Still awesome as hell, but just... Ugh.

Something I never see brought up about the Dark Knight is that Two-Face can talk. Normally. As in: he can vocalize M and P-sounds and such. Try saying F with only half of your mouth.
The same goes for Return of the Living Dead. The movie itself is great, but I hate that the zombies can talk at a stage of decomposition where they don't have lips, a tongue or even lungs. You should still see the movie though.

Two things i came up with that are a bit off-topic but still:
Star Trek (the new one) - WHY exactly was the scene with the Romulans in the Klingon Prison cut out? It's like 5 minutes or less and closes a bunch of plot holes (even more if you are willing to interpret things a bit). It may not be the best or most exciting scene, but i can't really see how the inclusion would've hurt the movie more than the exclusion.
Titanic - I don't really consider that to be a great movie...or even a really good one. It's, well decent. But it gets fairly dragged down by being set in the present, with the actual story being told like a flashback. It always seemed obvious for me that this plot was only included so James Cameron could do his expensive underwater excursions, since it doesn't really help the plot in any way and just makes the movie a lot longer.
And speaking of Cameron...
Avatar - I think not only the movie would be better, but also less bashed if LOTS of crap would've been cut out or replaced with scenes that were written down in the original Avatar Scripts back when it was "Project 880" (for a detailed look: http://www.chud.com/articles/articles/21969/1/PROJECT-880-THE-AVATAR-THAT-ALMOST-WAS/Page1.html )
I can't really hate Avatar. The final Action Setpieces are awesome. It has a great design. It looks gorgeous. And I for one kinda like the protagonist for being a complete moron and kind of an Asshole. But i also see why so many people seem to hate the movie.
So cut away most of the anvillious "Humans destroy Nature" and "Na'vi are superior in every way possible except speaking english" crap and replace it with the following stuff blatantly copied from the article linked above.
Actually, if you read the entire article, "Project 880" would've had a lot of it's own problems and some stupid plot points, but i still think it would've made a better movie

- Earth and its environmental problems are explored (Yeah, i know it's going to be in the extended cut, but it really should've been in the "vanilla" movie. Show, not Tell and stuff)
- It's revealed the Avatar program exists to train Na'vi to be an indigenous workforce for the Corporation, since it's so expensive to send human workers (makes MUCH more sense than the Avatar program in the final movie)
- There is an Avatar controller who is burnt out because his Avatar died with him in it. He committed Avatar suicide because he had fallen in love with a Na'vi girl who had been killed by the military (not really neccessary, but sounds pretty good. Read it)
- Josh Sully gains the Na'vi trust by being a member of the community. He also excels in a major hunt (once again makes much more sense than "Those plant thingys like me")
- Josh Sully shows his leadership not by taming a dragon but by leading a raid on Hell's Gate to rescue prisoners (and yes, that also makes much more sense and it would probably make for a cool action scene)

Your hoping for a 4th Spider Man movie? Sequels only get worse and worse, I can't think of any good sequels after a shite sequel. A 4th wouldn't bother me though, I would hope it's something worth watching.ShadowsofHope said:
Yeah, there has been a lot of movies with over the top gorey scenes that just felt unnecessary. I might be biased though because I didn't enjoy any of the violence in Inglorious Bastards while my friends had a good laugh. Goes for a lot of cursing in movies as well, when it isn't funny or expresses their emotions.Frybird said:
Don't really agree with this though. What discussion is there to be had? It's either it was going to fall or not. I've seen some people I know argue over it but they were just repeating themselves.Frybird said:
Also, I reckon it was an interesting ending. But then again, I haven't seen The Prestige or any movies with a similar ending.
I'm not saying it's bad, it's just weird. It makes me want to laugh, and at the same time facepalm for how Gary Oldman was acting. I still love Gary Oldman and all his work, but that one scene is just odd for some reason.TundraWolf said:
i don't know if we'd call it a good movie, but the most cringeworthy scene ever is when they introduce the autobots in transformers 1.
Hard to watch as in bad.Caligulove said:
I'll be honest here, I kinda want to put Once Upon a Time in Mexico in here, but that film was so incredibly over the top it kinda seems harsh to judge it. But still, this:
Johnny Depp gets caught out for being the super the spy that he is and has his eyes removed. Despite this he still takes out a handful of goons with the aid of a little kid selling bubble gum.
Equilibrium had a few of these moments for me too. The Bale vs fat guy gun-kata fight for one. That can kinda be let off though as the fat guy is apparently the dude who invented the thing and Bale has just murdered an entire army of henchmen which I imagine is quite tiring.
That or the whole "It's Christian Bale!! Now we kinda know that he's a sense offender, and we know he's one of our most highly trained and dangerous operatives, so you, random soldier... Gently frisk him in this needlessly white room with minimal security and absolutely no metal detectors then give him a polygraph. I'm sure he'll have handed over all his weapons when you asked him for them, that's totally what fugitives do right? Better safe than sorry though."
Dude, that scene was fucking hilarious.shadowstriker86 said:
If any scene in Boondock Saints was cringeworthy, it would be Il Duce's final line: "The question is not how far, but rather, do you have the constitution to take it as far as it needs to go?"
Seriously? The movie was great from start to finish and you went out on that? Who fucking wrote this shit?
