Hancock It was one of those films that started out decent but got bad so gradually that it wasn't until the end I realised it was bad

i watched the island on hbo when it was relatively new and didnt know anything about it or michael bay and for the first 30 minutes i was like yeah how nice of them to do a logans run / thx 1138 like thing on a modern blockbuster budget and then everything started exploding and didnt stop for most of them movie with the exception of a bit of dumbass exposition. so my interting concept is remaking schlocky classic scifi in a michael bay style

I was really excited for Sunshine, and I still rewatch it every now and again and enjoy it, but the naked burnt-up religious dude is just so random and unwarranted after such a well done 2/3 of a movie that it really pulls me out of it.

Dang. This movie written to hit me with a sucker punch twist, did in fact include a twist. Really wish someone would take the concept of making a boring movie and giving it a twist and remove the twist part

And imo it was an interesting concept, bad execution.

Yeah just because the twist was intentional doesn't mean it was a very good twist. Still a great movie overall but that whole part is pretty meh.

bitterandtwisted posted:Hancock I think it got bad instantly when they just gave up on the whole superhero that is terrible rehabilitation plot and went with the ancient immortal lover plot when the guy that was teaching Hancock how to not be a giant rear end in a top hat was sidelined for his ancient egyptian wife or whatever. Just ignore how an ancient African couple includes Charlize Theron. At least he got an eagle to gently caress or something at the end of it, I don't remember how it ended.

Beyond the Black Rainbow had a similar moment towards the end. It just felt really out of place after a slow-burning love letter to 70s high-concept sci-fi. LGD posted:I actually like Southland Tales more than anyone else I know, but I'm a pretty big proponent of the notion that you should judge a film by what it actually contains- if you need a tie in comic or 40 minutes of cut footage for it to make sense it was still a failure in its released form. I can't exactly disagree. The comic adds a lot more coherency to the film (which probably should've been there to begin with), and the extra footage would make it more of a Director's Cut than anything in my mind (if it were easily available, which afaik, it's not).

I liked it there because it only happened after they were both out of the compound so it felt like a natural place for the style to change. Agreed on Sunshine though.

The original script was a lot different and didn't have any of the weird immortal ancient lover poo poo http://pdfscripts.weebly.com/uploads/9/1/6/8/916864/tonight_he_comes.pdf but its also like a completely different movie too, its mostly about how hancock is lonely and depressed and it's like a small explosion when he ejaculates so he can never finish during meaningless sex with hot women. "breasts so full they could pop a boner in your dead uncle"

Inception. Neat concept, invading someone's dreams in layers? Let's do nothing outrageous with it (except for one scene) and make it a heist movie. More recently, As Above So Below. A good concept that was so painfully hindered by budget and imagination.

The Dune series. Itr's never really been given the full HBO-level treatment such a crazy universe so richly deserves. Lynch had some pretty good costume and set design though, and the SyFy/Space TV movies were horribly hamstrung in their budgets.

It was genuinely creepy until it started having really lovely effects. They had to backtrack through that stone creature room so by the third time through they were just sprinting through and shoving them over comically.
