Death Race 2000

And while the comedy might not be for everyone, putting this here: Best of the Worst

They review three movies and destroy one of them at the end.

Can't remember much about Red Sonja, except I think I liked it when I was younger.


Oh, one I recall seeing a lot and liking when I used to watch USA Up All Night...Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death.

I need to chime in and say that in my opinion, Man of Steel kicked ass. Maybe because I have no significant childhood attachment to the classic Superman I'm able to look past the changes to the character and enjoy it as it's own franchise, but I saw very little wrong with the movie.

Also I LOVED Watchmen, at least the Director's Cut. I know I might get a few boos, but I honestly felt the ending to the movie was better. To me it seemed a lot more cohesive and believable than the graphic novel.

Pretty much everything Reb Brown has done is a perfect pix of awful and awesome.

That reminds me of two things.

First is The Sword & The Sorcerer, a really great fun fantasy movie from the 80's. Honestly I would not call it a bad movie, though some might. Yeah, it's cheesy, and not exactly a cinematic masterpiece, but it accomplishes what it's supposed to, and that is being a fun adventure with magic, sword fights and a sexy princess. Reb only had a small part there, but still.

The second is, as I first heard of the glory that is Reb Brown from Spoony, I think the anniversary movies for TGWTG he was in fit in this thread. Sure, they are amateurish, made on basically zero budget and the acting skills of the cast range from really good to god-awful, but I still had great fun with all three. I think Suburban Knights is probably my favourite, but Kickassia and To Boldly Flee were a lot of fun too, especially Doctor Insano in the former, and interactions between General Zod and and Turl in the latter.

Mazes and Monsters,especially for D&D players.

For extra info on some of the films mentioned above, here are a few reviews, for anyone who's interested! You might even end up losing a fair amount of time checking out other movies, if you're anything like me. :-)

I searched for a trailer of Mosquito Man and found Zombeavers instead.

Looks exactly like the kind of movie we are talking about in this thread and I really want to see it now.

I could willingly rewatch Pacific Rim, and Dredd. But they are more "dumb" movies than "bad" movies, so they might not qualify for this thread.

Do you mean the Max Payne movie should have closely followed the plot of the (first?) game? I can think of a few reasons why video game movies shouldn't do that:

- The biggest target audience is probably the people who know the game. It is better to offer them something new to see, rather than a replay of the exact same story they have already played.

- Sometimes a plot that works well for a game, might not work as well in a movie.

I think it works the other way too. I think the days of movie tie-in video games, where the game is merely trying to recreate the events of the movie, are a thing of a past. Games that have the same spirit as a movie or TV series, but a story of its own, maybe even completely new protagonists and enemies, is much more fulfilling.

For what it's worth, I also liked the Hitman movie. I had not played the games before seeing the movie (but I was full aware of the games, owning the first four games already; just never having played them yet), but I knew the protagonist was supposed to be more of a middle-aged baldie, than the 20s something baldie of the movie. Yet, I liked the protagonist of the movie.

It may be also the movies turn down violence and antisocial behavior. So if e.g. collateral damage or even outright murdering innocent bystanders is allowed in a game, a movie might not be able to allow it. Damn US censors! :)

This argument can easily be turned around. Fans of the games being even more wanting to see a faithful rendition of the game's story. It happens with fans of adapted books, screaming out when the story they wanted to see on the big screen has been butchered. They are familiar with the novel, they don't want a different story.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone complain "you know, they followed the book/game/comic too closely. I wish they messed with it, and changed or omitted all the stuff liked".

Sure, some changes are necessary, but it's usually more about how to tell the story, then what story to tell.

It's rare but it happens. I think that the superiority of "LA confidential" over "The Black Daliah" comes from that. Having to faithfully cram an Ellroy story into a film leads to disaster. Preserving its tone, world, and characters souls to make a filmable story about them worked wonders.

But again, it's rare. Consider this a nasty nitpick. I globally agree with you.

i dont consider it a bad movie but i watched like 20 times, ´baby´s day out , when he´s going to go to china cmon! !

Yep.
