Which Box Office Blockbuster movies do you think suck(ed)?….
 

…I was just looking at an article title of ‘31 Box Office Blockbusters that Actually Suck…’…I won’t list them all as there isn’t a copy-able list but some of the named and shamed are….Robin Hood/Prince of Thieves, Hangover Part 3, Pearl Harbour, Matrix Reloaded, Ghost Rider, Da Vinci Code and 2012….

…which Hollywood/box office blockbusters have you personally thought sucked…?…

aww Not Robinhood Prince of Thieves!! I loved that, the only thing sucky about it was Kevin Costners accent, he didn't even try :laugh2:

No Ammi

Pearl Harbour,
is a great film on
Blu ray and DTS 5.1 Sound

That film does not Suck

2012 is also a good action movie. Da Vinci code was good, Ghost Rider was shite, I don't think I watched the Hang Over part III. I liked the matrix on my first watch but less on the 2nd

…without prejudice and bias and just to offend equally, I’ll do a few more that it listed as sucking….

Wild Wild West (1999)
Batman V Superman - Dawn of Justice (2016)
Godzilla (1998)…oh Lord, I loved that movie…:love:…
Divergent (2014)…I liked that one too…
2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
GI Joe:retaliation (2013)

…this is the link to all of them…

…it’s not really an article as such, I just didn’t know what to call it…but there is no text, it’s just….THESE SUCK ….and then scrolled through them all…

…I’ll go with your review then and say it doesn’t suck, Arista ….a great 10 outta 10 film if you think so….

Top 2 sucked, I also liked Divergent but the follow up books were awful (did they even make sequels in movie form after Divergent?) the ending was stupid. I liked Godzilla too

2 fast 2 Furious, i mean it is what it is and what they all are :laugh: Don't think I watched the GI Joe one

…I loved Godzilla because we’d just got a new sound system for the TV screen and it all sounded amazing…:laugh:..

haha nothing like a loud action packed movie :love:

…it’s not on the list but my own personal one would be Titanic…the box office said blockbuster, I say suck, suck and suckety suck….

…yeah that’s all we bought and rented that year….action and LOUD…

Oh yes, with you 100% on that one

I also hated The English patient, what a bore fest

:laugh:

I haven't seen most of them but Matrix Reloaded did suck, and I liked Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - thought it was better than the recent one.

I liked both that one and the recent one

I liked Godzilla 1998 too.

Agree with the list about Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen - first one was alright.

I liked Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves.

Didn't like the 2010 Alice in Wonderland much.

any star wars movie sucked

… I don’t recall anything about Patch Adams… maybe it’s one that I didn’t get around to watching….

Maybe people thoyht Prince of Thieves sucked at the time but saying it sucks in movie history context is so objectively wrong - it is a CLASSIC for so many reasons - and the parts of it that are dumb/schlocky are part of what makes it such a classic. Alan Rickman's Sheriff of Nottingham is absolutely iconic cinema :joker:. American Robin Hood. Christian Slater's terrible acting. It has Morgan Freeman. It's extremely racist. Bryan Adams for cryin' out loud. It's a quintessential example of early 90's cinema IMO.

I think some people think cinema has to be high-brow so be "good" - it really doesn't, all it has to be is entertaining.

Like I can also appreciate why a lot of people don't like Batman vs Superman but from an objective standpoint, some of the imagery is gorgeous and there is some excellent physical choreography (Batman scenes) as well. It's over-long and some of the plot points are daft but it's not without merit. That applies to a lot of these films IMO. I'd put Matrix Reloaded in the same category, too. Do either Matrix 2 or 3 live up to the potential of the first movie? No, absolutely not BUT there is nonetheless some gorgeous cinematography, atmosphere, costume design etc. to be enjoyed in there, in both The Matrix and Zion scenes.

Thinking about another movie I'd plonk right alongside Prince of Thieves as a movie that is, on the face of it, dumb as hell BUT is at the same time classic cinema and a perfect example of cinema history...

Armageddon. Is it conceptually stupid? Yes! Is some of the acting bad? Sure! Does it have some truly bizarre dialogue? Yep!

But does it have Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck inexplicably drilling into an asteroid to save the world, Russian stereotyping, a classic ensemble cast of ruffians, and MFing Aerosmith? Yes it has all of those things and is just perfect for all of that.

Ben Affleck talking about how he told the director dumb the concept is is hilarious :laugh:

Christian Slater was the main reason I watched that movie multiple times :fist::laugh:

Poor Matrix Reloaded, I thought that Film was fun.:laugh:

i watched some of the old star trek films recently, and there were a fair number that were really terrible :laugh:
