This is hilarious! It contains pure failure in the highest form! Everyone watch it until your eyes begin to bleed! (Which is at about the 0:35 mark)Hardcore_gamer said:The man who saved the world, also jokingly called "Turkish Star Wars" by many.
Its a horrible Turkish film that's so bad that it actually rips off scenes from other movies, and when I say rip off I don't mean "copying the scenes" no I mean it LITERALLY takes scenes from other films and edits it into its own movie.
There are scenes from Star Wars thrown in at random, and sometimes the Indiana Jones theme song begins to play for some reason..
.....I wish I were kidding.
The whole film is actually on Youtube.
For those who have the guts needed to even dare trying to watch this horrid piece of turd, here is the first part (You can skip to about 1:50 where the credits end and the actual movie starts, also you need to turn on captions in order for subtitles to work):
Assuming you haven't put a bullet into your brain you can see the rest of the movie on youtube.
Exactly, unfortantnly.LiberalSquirrel said:...Really? Huh. Who'd'a thunk it. I knew a couple people involved with it were DBZ fans, but I am surprised that it was ever actually good.Jabberwock xeno said:The sad part is that the orginal script was actually pretty good, and treated the source material with respect, but then it got tossed around between different production staff so much, it just fell apart...LiberalSquirrel said:The American live-action Dragonball movie (Dragonball: Evolution, I think it was called?). It was like getting teeth pulled in a movie theater. It wasn't even "funny bad." It was just awful.
I Still think theres potential for a good DBZ film (after all, they are good comic book films, and they aren't that much more ridoculous then DBZ), but I don't think it will ever happen: DBZ's popularity ended 10+ years ago, so unless it's just made for the fans, and not the profit, it's bleak.
I think that a good DBZ film is possible. Of course! Anything's possible! And DBZ has some fun material in it, no matter how much people make fun of its drawn-out battle sequences. Sadly, though, it'll never be made. Especially after the disaster that was Dragonball: Evolution.
Fear not, I know exactly one person in RL who enjoyed it, and I haven't spoken to her in years so it's possible she's come around.manythings said:OT: Napolean Dynamite and it is like I'm the only person in the world who saw that garbage for what it was.
Yeah, I'm hoping for the same thing. I'd love a good live action movie based on one of my favorite manga or anime. A live action Death Note, maybe, to have some mass-market appeal, or even a (very, very R-rated) live-action Berserk, which could be absolutely amazing if they adapted it right.Jabberwock xeno said:-snip
Exactly, unfortantnly.
I think theres still a chance though: Manga and anime normally aren't that more over the top than american comics, but Manga often does get into more serious topics.
We just need the Manga version of the first Spiderman movie that came out in 2000: one that will make hollyood see the value in a making a good anime/manga movie.
OH GOD NOT THE BEEES AAAAAARGHEGOHJTGWERGHEGHRRGH!!!BreakfastMan said:The Wicker Man (1973). It was probably the crappiest horror film I have ever seen. I hesitate to even call it a horror film. It shares more in common with your everyday musical than a horror film (no, I am not exaggerating. It really does). The main character was an idiot, the films antagonists were not threatening in the slightest, and the entire thing was just as stupid as all get out.
I actually forgot about this one... it was simply so bad, my mind had an aneurysm and attempted to strike it from my memory.LiberalSquirrel said:The American live-action Dragonball movie (Dragonball: Evolution, I think it was called?).

Death note has had like 3+ films in live action made of it, though they were made in japan, there were some theaters showing one a year or two ago here in the states with subtitles.LiberalSquirrel said:Yeah, I'm hoping for the same thing.

Though I think part of the problem is the licensing tango they'd need to go through to actually get the rights to film an anime/manga. Obviously that's not the only problem, but it's part of it.
Ah, yes, I probably should have specified that I meant "non-Japanese live action movie:" there's quite a few live-action movies of manga and anime in Japan. Though I didn't know some of the DN live actions were brought over to the States. Huh. The more you know, I guess.Jabberwock xeno said:Death note has had like 3+ films in live action made of it, though they were made in japan, there were some theaters showing one a year or two ago here in the states with subtitles.LiberalSquirrel said:Yeah, I'm hoping for the same thing.

Shit... which means you've just reminded me how b-*seizes*
I remember seeing "Meet the Spartans" *shudder*NinjaDeathSlap said:Meet the Spartans. Unfunny pop-culture and movie references that seemed to be trying really really hard to make fun of ANYTHING BUT the movie it was actually supposed to be parodying. Even less funny jokes that resorted to cheap and nasty toilet humor and offensive references to real life people, which only work if the jokes are relevant, well-timed and coming from good actors playing likable characters, which brings me on to point 3... there was absolutely nothing to like about anything in it.
Avatar wasn't completely horrible but it did piss me off for 3 reasons:
1) 3D DOES NOT WORK! No, don't even try. I don't care how good the quality of the 3D is. 3D will always be an annoying gimmick that only detracts from the content of the actual story and completely ruins all sense of immersion, which is exactly the opposite of what it is supposed to do.
2) The story was not only unoriginal, but also came across as REALLY hypocritical when you combine the whole environmentalist message with how the film was made using tons of money that could have mostly been given to charity if James Cameron had just dropped the fucking 3D, and how the films main sponsor was McDonald's.
3) Who. The. Fuck. Thought. The. Name. Unobtainium. Was. A. Good. Idea!
Ratatouille (not sure if I got the spelling) wasn't bad at all, but it does stick in my mind because I expected a lot better from the Pixar I know and love.
Oh, and the 3 Twilight movies have been almost without fail the3 most consistently wretched franchise I have ever been introduced to. I won't list the reason because you will have heard it all before, I could go on for hours and the mods would probably ban me for my consitent use of foul language and caps.
