Bad Films I watched this weekend

Thought this was worth a watch from the glowing praise it got on release (and 98% on Rotten Tomatoes) but I'm out of tune with the masses again. It picked up towards the end but it was too late for me. I'd already lost interest. I found it mostly tedious and, as is the fashion these days, way too long.

For some reason, when a film claims to portray youth it usually means dreary sentimentality. My youth was a lot more fun and exciting. I don't recall anybody raising a smile in this whole film.

It was well made but just too slow and witless for me.

5/10.

So you didn't grow up poor ass in the deep south with your river shack about to be repossessed?

Hmm, I recorded Battleship - not worth watching then?

Only if you want to see Rihanna handbrake turn a 1940's Aircraft Carrier.

Would that not qualify as assume as awesome?

Well if Rihanna was thrown off a 1940's Aircraft Carrier - now that would be awesome...

I watched it the other day but only because we were trying out our new 4K TV and the images were stunning. The movie was pretty poor but I wasn't expecting it to be a classic.

Worst 'I have a 4k TV' post ever

However I am quite impressed sat here in front of my 100" projector screen

Fast & Furious 7.

F'ing terrible.

It's not a car film now it's just a bad action film with a few cars put in.

All the car scenes are sped up and stupid - head in crash, get out without a scratch. They couldn't even get the cinematography to look half decent or exciting.

Just so many 'da fun' and 'but that just wouldn't happen' scenes you start to just be taken for a fool.

Horrific cliched one liners.

Ok but unbelievable fight scenes

You know it's bad when Statham actually looks like the only one taking it seriously.

A few laugh out loud moments but not in a good way.

Too long.

Stupid plot.

Just horrible and dire.

It really would be a 4/10 film on IMDB if it weren't for the sympathy vote.

It has no heart, no soul and no character.

But sad at end but look past that and you've just got a b grade waste of 140 minutes.

I will be stunned if they make the rest.

I think we all know there is no correlation between quality of a film and whether a sequel will be made.

Ok it's not a really bad film but I have no idea how this has a 7.2 rating on IMDB. I generally like horror films (for example The Conjuring which is a really good film) but this is not even a decent film in that genre. Yes it has a reasonably creepy atmosphere to it but the storyline and acting are non-existent. The whole film just seemed like something parents would show their teenage daughters to stop them from having sex ..

I thought it was excellent, one of the best 'horrors' I've seen in years along with the Babadook

Have to agree with it being excellent. In a world of remakes and shaky hand cam/cctv films a complete breath of fresh air.

Perhaps you have to be in your late 30's and raised on 80's horrors to get it.

Entourage.

Love the TV series but found this a bit 'meh'.

Not bad, not good, just meh and quite forgettable.
