Worst Movie
- Thread starter Seggie8
- Start date
I read the books of course and yes, they have LOTS more. but as you said it would take a 20 hour movie to make it complete (instead of the 10 it took) and I think that the 10 Peter Carlos*son made was perfectly adapted putting in all the necessary to make the story work. you couldnt ask for more IMO.
and just so you know, the mayority of the real fans are happy about the movie.
oh, and Seggie8, complaining about a movie being 3 hours long is one of the stupidiest things Ive ever read
All the harry pothead films - worst acting i ever saw
Underworld - Fell asleep in the cinema
Spiderman - Most overrated film of all time, loved tha cartoons, tobey maguire is a ****e actor and the to much concentration on graphics than storyline
Daredevil - Much the same as spiderman really
and as for tha people who say godfather 3, they need a cat scan, it was a diasappointing end to the trilogy, but the last sequences where they show the corleone family's life is an amazing ending to a film probably the best ever.

Sorry I've gotta disagree with you there, I thought the amount of time he had was adequate, but his actual adaptation very poor. The only reason I watch them is to pick out the inaccuracies.Originally posted by Hakeem

ok, but think about it this way: do you think that somebody could possibly make a movie out of the books BETTER than what Peter Carlos*son did?
Im a fan of the movie first, then the books, but Ive talked to some of the huge tolkien fans, and they've been waiting for a movie for years and years (studios first started talking about making the movie in the late 80s) and they all agree that what PJ did is more than what they've dreamt it was going to be.
then again, he had to leave out lots of stuff so I understand when fans of the books like you didnt like the final product.
btw, I guess you did watch the extended versions of the movies right? cause for me the extended versions add all the stuff that he had to cut from the theatrical cuts, and its all stuff for fans of the books.

I can't watch a movie that's 3 hours and I wish hollywood would become original. There are too many remakes and movies based on books and also more recently video games.
What goes through their mind when they're making a movie based on such things.
BOOKS
Director- Ok let's make a movie about, get this... waldo. A bunch of killer chimps with laser guns look for waldo while he's off travelling the world in 80 days, with guess who... Carlos*ie Chan.
Producer- I like it. Here's some money.
VGs
Let's make a movie about, the sims. A bunch of idiots doing normal boring things! Starring Rob Schneider who thinks he is a... souvlaki.
Producer-I like it. Here's some money.
Reamke
D- I liked Spider-man 2 and it made tons of money, so let's remake it.
P- I like it. Here's some money.
Well it's little different than that, but you get the idea. Frankly this fad is getting tiresome, I'd rather wtach something that's new and original then something old and unoriginal.
The same goes with crappy teen comedies/romances/nothings and those stupid that aren't funny ! SCREAM 1,2,3, HOT SHOTS ! I've never bothered seeing these whole movies, I went back to blockbuster to get my money back (I never got a refund, but I was able to tell them you just lost your #1 customer, after that they took my picture of customer of the year off the wall, those mangie bastards.
). BUT there have been good films that are funny but stupid, Kung Pow, Airplane, Liam Nielsen films. All great comedies.

ok, I understand the remakes, and your feellings towards adaptations, but there are lots of original movies too.
and again, your problem with a 3 hour movie is stupid, is for people like you, that dont like long movies, that they make all the videogames and comic adaptations, cause they have less to explai cause you already know about it, and so they make the movies short.
if you cant watch a long movie then just watch TV

Ahh, I bet that's the problem. I've only seen the cinema versions. I guess I should see the extended versions before I pass judgement.

Stupid comment, everyone has different opinions on films, I think it's great that we have these threads we're everyone gives such good opinions.Originally posted by dannyeli
Hakeem > Limberopoulos21
I have to agree with Limberopoulos on remakes, some are good but the vast majority, esp the American remakes of foriegn films, butcher them totally and leave people with totally the wrong impression. Get Carter and The Italian Job are examples I always used. People see the remakes, think 'this sucks' and dont see the brilliant originals. If it aint broke dont fix it. The 3 hour comment was dumb though, some of the very best films are 3hrs+. Probably about half my top 20 (see other thread) were that sort of length. If you cant watch a 3 hr film, you should stick with the 'cool' crap aimed at low level audiences.

long movies are cool. some i wish never ended :>
here's my take on the remakes:
if you're going to remake a film, be it foreign or american, that was made 30 year ago or before, then I dont mind that much.
After all, times change, and the stories can be adapted to our times and technology, and that can make the remake a good movie too. even a better one though it hasnt happened much and no movie comes to mind right now.
what I really hate, is this whole stupid idea of remaking asian movies that came out a few yeas ago, or even this year. its totally stupid and they only make it to make money.
just release the movies here in the states instead of making the same movie but with Sarah Michelle Gellar. so stupid

3 hour movie are too long for me, I end up watching them anyways but I need a brake now and then. I just can't sit through a movie for that long. They tend to get boring at times aswell, but for the most part are fun to watch or are atleast interesting.
Too many movies have been based on comicbook characters and books, it has become fad recently. The same goes with "based on a true story" movies, we've got documentaries for that. Yes, indeed some of these movies in these categories are actually pretty good, but I'd rather see more original movies. Fictional movies, something new, not something I've seen before or already know of.
another bad, absolutely terrible, DO NOT WATCH!!!! HIGHLANDER 2! It's a joke that's not funny, like mine. Opera, Sean Connery, the white bros from matrix 2 only crappier and crappiest special effects= CRAP!

Also, Callan, have you read the Lord of the Rings books? The films are an AWFUL adaptation of the books, puts me to shame, and some aspects are just so pathetic. I know they are good films with good acting, good sets, good special effects, good scenes etc but being the fan I am of the books, I just cant watch them without seeing the millions of inaccuracies and rediculousness's of them - hence I hate the LOTR films.
So?
Why don't you see it as I do and not a 'remake' of the books but merely 'just a film' ?
That's all it is to me a film, not a book. Imagine if there were no book at all, then would the film be good, of course it would. To many people compare, so the books might be better, so they might have more detail but that doesn't make the movie bad, and everyone is bashing it in here, treating it like it is the 'worst movie' - it's far from it, but it is far from the best - but they are still excellent films: all of them, A LOT better than A LOT of films, even if the book is better.
