Let’s begin with the obvious. Few 2016 movies—especially blockbuster hits—got raked over the coals the way critics savaged Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Longtime fans had issues with the film too, to say the least. Chief among the elements attacked: Jesse Eisenberg’s portrayal of classic villain Lex Luthor. Whereas most versions of the bald, ...
The adaptation of Veronica Roth’s young adult novel Divergent became a surprise hit in 2014. While not quite on par with other films in the genre, like the Harry Potter series or The Hunger Games, the solid box office take prompted studio Lionsgate to greenlight three sequels. A trilogy of novels, the final book would, like those of Hunger Games an...

When will Hollywood learn—video games don’t make good movies! What a shame too, that Warcraft, 2016’s big attempt at a video game adaptation blockbuster, had to waste so much talent to achieve so little. Director Duncan Jones made one of the best sci-fi movies in recent memory with Moon, while actors Ben Foster, Paula Patton and Ruth Negga have pro...
The X-Men have had an uneven film career. While entries like X2 and First Class have become classics of the superhero genre, X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine continue to sting fans for getting their favorite mutants so totally wrong. Their 2016 entry, Apocalypse, isn’t their best movie, nor is it really even a badmovie. It does, h...
Alex Proyas does not get his due credit as a director. The man who directed the sci-fi masterpiece DarkCity and created a cult phenomenon with The Crowdeserves mention alongside other sci-fi visionaries like Ridley Scott and the Wachowskis. Unfortunately, Proyas’ detours into studio blockbuster filmmaking tend to lose the gritty mystery of his lowe...
Robert De Niro has long held the distinction of one of the best actors alive. Having won two Academy Awards, the man could have his pick of projects. Heaven knows then why he chose to star in the gross-out comedy Dirty Grandpaalongside former teen hunk Zac Efron. Dirty Grandpa is the kind of movie that knows it can get laughs on the cheap simply by...
The original Bad Santa became a hit back in 2003 thanks to a delightfully irreverent performance from Billy Bob Thornton. Over time, the reputation of the comedy grew, to the point where it became a full-fledged, if not ironic, holiday favorite. A sequel probably seemed like a good idea, though Bad Santa 2probably isn’t the kind of movie fans of th...
Sacha Baron Cohen once looked like a visionary comic genius. He nabbed an Oscar nod for the script to Borat, his semi-improvised film about a crazy Kazakhstani reporter, which also made a killing in box office receipts. 2016 saw Cohen try again for shock comedy gold with The Brothers Grimsby, a film which met the opposite level of success from Bora...
If video games have a maddening predilection to becoming bad movies, what chance can smartphone apps have?!

Aug 23, 2011 · This movie has little if any story line, No character development, and poor acting. I especially liked the beginning 15 minutes of credits. Also watch out for the drag race in the middle of nowhere when 3 of the cast appear from thin air! I seriously don't know where some IMDB users get their ratings from. On a scale from 1-10 I give this a -1 ...

Apr 27, 2024 · You’ve got no notes up to that point, but then it suddenly becomes a wildly different (and worse) movie before brushing itself off and getting back to competent business like nothing happened. It’s a frequent enough occurrence that thousands responded when user jasontredecim asked r/AskReddit , “What’s the one scene that stops a 9/10 film from being a 10/10 film for you?”
