If you think Film critics are bad then check out the Games critics? they score very good Sonic Games really low, yet score the Call Of Duty's and Fallout 3 really high yet there not a patch on Sonic The Hedgehog.

There's other examples aswell but that's the worst I could think of.

But I will go back on topic now, I do agree with you that Film critics are not the best at judging Films quality, I remember they scored Drag Me To Hell really high yet when I watched it and I thought it was rubbish.

haven't got round to seeing it yet Marc,might just wait till it comes to Sky,I expected something gritty and not mythical creatures:bawling:

:joker: Tbf im only saying what many others are thinking.

nobody is thinking that sonic is better than fallout 3 or drag me to hell is terrible movie apart from you so no you are not

I know loads of people that hate Fallout 3.:joker:

And away from the critics, Drag Me To Hell was a very controversial Film because of it's content.

I was just asking for an opinion...It is a forum after all.

Was interested to see what exactly made you dislike it.

:nono: Drag Me To Hell is an amazing film imo!

Anyone who says it's an awful film doesn't understand the tongue-in-cheek nature of it and that it's SUPPOSED to be utterly ridiculous and funny. I guess some people are just taking it too seriously.

Exactly!

As the op said they went with expectations of a horror flick and instead was met with a very ott black comedic horror/fantasy film.

I would happily watch it again :)

Drag me to hell was ****e.

I understand that. And still think it's awful.

Why is it Horror Films suck these days?

This is like the 90s when the genre was dieing out, at least Scream came along and saved it for a while - now it's gone again.
Honestly, It's a shame too. It's just these constant films that try and be all scary and realistic and stuff, the trailer shows off 90% of the entertaining parts, and that's that.

Paranormal Activity 1 did what scream did, created a huge and undeniable buzz and helped the genre become popular once more.

Yeah definitely, but then sense then other films are trying to do this whole fly on the wall, barely any storyline, not much attention to characters type films - and think that's scary.

I thought it was excellent, it was well written and I've never seen anything quite like it. I liked how it deconstructed the cliches of the genre while at the same time sticking to them and making them believable. I really loved the references and nods to other horror films as well.



All in all I thought it was great, one of the best horror films I've seen.

Also Drag Me To Hell was a very fun film, they managed to make a good horror film with only a PG-13 to work with which isn't an easy task.

Totally agree.

Im hard to please aswell i tend to pick apart films but i seriously loved this movie.

watched it tonight. Was bad yet good at the same time lol

Did it really take 31 comments until someone finally mentioned the satirical undertones of the film?

I saw this today, I was expecting a normal horror, I was surprised. I thought it was fun and clever plus a bit scary at times.

its amazing shut up

(i bumped both threads lol) LOL sdlnfsdf xxx lol

The problem is with Joss Whedon he turns everything into some cheesy moment with a bit of comedy to it, his only attempt at going really serious (Angel) didn't last for very long without Buffy because it was really dull imo, Joss Whedon is very limited in what he can do and he has some of the most irritating characters in TV history so this Film doesn't shock me with it's content tbh.

bye

marc is so dumb
