BigglesSWE posted:Forgot to mention Jupiter Ascending, which is terrible, but, to its credit, I had a lot of fun watching it flail about in desperation. It's one of those few bad films that is entertainingly bad rather than just dull: Eddie Redmayne's whispered dialog, our heroine constantly falling off things, her glamourous poverty, Sean Bean as the part-bee soldier. You can really say "what were they thinking?" EDIT: it's far too though. You get tired of the stupidity.

Iron Crowned posted:I really only remember a couple scenes from American Sniper, and one of them was when he was about to shoot the Iraqi Sniper, there's a scene where the Iraqi Sniper kisses his family bye as he walks out the door. A lot of movies have these weird vestigial scenes and motifs, that I've always assumed were left over from earlier screenplays, edits and ambitions. My Name is Legend is full of them.

Darthemed posted:Special mention: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Ramrods the low-stakes fancy of the source material into the form of the LotR films. Chunks in unnecessary add-ons and warps the story's focus to up the action. Had a Denny's food tie-in more exciting than the film itself. Surprised this didn't feature in more people's lists. There were certainly a lot worse films, but for the money and time and people involved, it was awful, like a mirror universe LotR where they made all the wrong decisions.

Roblo posted:I think they have to top my list. Both from the fact they managed to be boring (which is quite a feat, given what's going on) and the fact they shat all over one of my favourite books from when I was a kid. They're remarkably tedious. Action-action-action interleaved with drama, neither of which really touches you, like they do all touchstones of an epic without it actually meaning anything.

Mr Shiny Pants posted:The characters not being in danger during anything just makes it stupid. On the one hand its all serious stuff (tm) and then the barrel scene happens.... Good phrasing. Much like the last Indian Jones movie, it felt like they were on an theme park ride. Never in danger, just lots of thrills and spills.
