Wellllll.... Actually it was. Not the worst movie I've seen, but definitely the worst I've seen in theatres! (and it was pretty bad)ZombieVictor said:Then it wasn't the Worst movie you've seen in theatres now was it?AdhesiveTape said:Timeline. Wasn't horrible, 'cause I usually research movies before I go to see them.
I do so hope that was subtle sarcasm on your part...ZombieVictor said:What's weird about a mythical fictional firebreathing flying [HEADING=1]lizard creature[/HEADING] having feathers?HT_Black said:The Spirit.
'Nuff said.
Oh wait-- I almost forgot about Eragon. Shitty cinematography, cinderblock-grade acting, a drivel of a script adapted from an original work which barely passed the border of acceptable, and the guy from The Chronicles of Narnia. I don't know what it is about that guy, but I can't enjoy any film he's in.
Oh, and Saphira had feathers.
A DRAGON.
WITH FEATHERS.
Well, I could except a feathered dragon if Saphira were Quetzalcoatl from Aztec mythology. However, she is most clearly NOT...HT_Black said:I do so hope that was subtle sarcasm on your part...ZombieVictor said:What's weird about a mythical fictional firebreathing flying [HEADING=1]lizard creature[/HEADING] having feathers?HT_Black said:The Spirit.

Oh-- that's what he was supposed to be.

It was bad, but saying it butchered literature is a bit harsh. I've read worse.ZombieVictor said:The book butchered literature. I don't care how old the kid was who wrote it. I've read fan fiction that was more entertaining than that Star Wars knock off.Aedrial said:LOL, If you read the book, you would expect that, but the movie STILL managed to butcher the book, which despite it's many flaws I still enjoyed.Trotgar said:Eragon. It wasn't that bad (I don't go to theatres a lot), but it sure was Cliché-y. It's a little like Star Wars' story in a LotR setting.
Okay, I'm going to list the things in the story that resemble the things of Star Wars' story.
SPOILER WARNING:
-The land is ruled by the evil king Galbatorix.
-Eragon is a farmboy who is to become a dragon rider. They were "the keeper's of peace" who vanished some time ago (coughjedicough)
-In the village there is an older man, Brom, who is later to be revealed as a dragon rider (even though it's easy to guess).
-After his Uncle is killed by the minions of the evil king of the land (Damn, Eragon sees his house and rides there even though Brom shouts something like "don't go there, it's dangerous"), he leaves the village with Brom to kill the evil king. First the try to find a rebel base.
-On the journey Brom teaches Eragon to fight and use magic (obi wancough cough cough)
-They go in a fortress of the enemy to save a woman. There Brom sacrfices himself to save Eragons life (though he dies later in his wounds).
-They find the Rebel base, and of course Galbatorix' army has followed them. Then comes a big fight (which doesn't really resemble the Death Star figh very much) which the good guys of course wins and the film ends.
SPOILERS END
Huh, that was much.
The first move had more of an anti-war message, mostly due to the fact that it was a product of the atomic age, in which war would be able to annihilate mankind anyway, without the assistance of any alien species. So in that regard, the movie had a more sound message.ZombieVictor said:That was kind of the point of the original movie too. I was rooting for the Aliens actually.
"I want to talk to your President."
"RAAAARGH! NOOOO! IMPRISON HIM!!!!!"
Wolverine origins, I wanted to fight someone (that means beat the crap out of or have the crap beaten out of me, it didn't matter which) after watching that piece of shit, at least the pirated copy had no special effects so you could pretend that it was a parody and think "hoho, they're just joking, the real movie will come out sometime".Kimarous said:What is the worst film that you watched at the local cinema?
To my dubious honor, I saw "Stealth", a fullblown box office bomb (and I assure you, rightfully so).
That's strange, I loved the International...sublimedom777 said:Very Bad:
The International. (A half hour in I turn to my friend and told him we're not sitting here any longer. We theater-hopped to 'Fired Up' which was a THOUSAND times better.)
