Looks like Pixar, Moves like Pixar. Sorry, Weegee, it's Pixar no matter how you dress it.

 

>Has similar animation style similar to Pixar

>Walt Disney Animation Studios is Pixar

 

Yeah, I'm sure that DreamWorks movies are also Pixar movies due them have having similar animation styles and all.

Okay, here are my list of movies that I hate:

 

  1. Every Disney Animated Feature Film made since "The Great Mouse Detective" with the exception of "The Rescuers Down Under" and "Wreck-it Ralph": Right after this film is where Disney executives largely sold their souls to get the talent and skills needed to be rapacious money-sucking machines, IMO. Most of these films were never much good (with the exception of the two aforementioned exceptions) and one (The Lion King) even blatantly ripped off both "Bambi" AND "Kimba the White Lion". While I applaud Disney for recently breaking out of this mold of mediocrity by distributing the Studio Ghibli films, having Pixar make "Wreck-It Ralph", I'm still concerned that they can slip back into this former behavior, especially with their planned adaptation of Philip K. Dick's "The King of the Elves".
  2. Jim Henson's "Labyrinth": While I do enjoy the Jim Henson Company works (including the Muppets before they were largely sold off to Disney), this one was a rare exception. Made with a big-hair David Bowie playing the main antagonist, it was a yawner for me, made even worse by the fact that my sister enjoyed this tripe and watched it several thousand times, mostly dragging me along for the experience.
  3. Both "Ferngully" films: While I don't mind environmental message films as such (one of my favorite such films is "Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind"), the message gets forced down my craw at every opportunity during the films.
  4. James Cameron's "Avatar": See prior entry on the Ferngully films.
  5. The Twilight Saga films: The books and films are nothing but veiled Mormon propaganda and a desecration of everything that Bram Stoker held dear. I will say this once and for all: "VAMPIRES DO NOT BECOME WALKING DISCO BALLS WHEN EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT!"

 

I'm with ya, when it comes to 4 and 5, I like Avatar but I can understand a little bit why others don't, and I hate Twilight to heck so I understand even more when others do.

But Disney? Come on, even... Brave? Tangled?... Maybe The Incredibles? I can make a huge list of good... I mean AWESOME Disney animated movies, I don't understand why would you hate all (most) of them, I mean Wreck-It Ralph is nice, but it's totally unfair if you only liked it only because a dozen of your favorite characters were featured, someone should watch at least half a movie before they judge, and maybe the second half when the plot goes on.

I really, really... REALLY, recommend you to start with Brave. (That's if you haven't watched it yet, of course.)

 

You should've made Twilight 1 and Disney movies 5. dry.png

Sarcasm... It ain't nice.

I never understood this about the anti-Twilight crowd. There is so much that is wrong with the Twilight series and yet the only thing most people ever mention is one minor scene from the first film that was inoffensive at worst.

No one really has to understand, we just hate it. Whether we have are reasons or not, we're here to say that we hate it, not to give others reasons to hate it...

So we don't mind if you love it, please don't mind if we... Hate it.

No, I don't like Twilight either, I just wish people could come up with something more clever than "I hate it because sparkles" for once.

Hmm, maybe you can take a look at my post. If you want.

 

Now let's move to Twilight...:

Under what genre do we find this movie? Porn?

Bella meets Edward, Bella loves Edward, Bella kisses Edward, Bella has sex with Edward, Bella dies, Bella lives as a vampire, Bella stops Edward, Bella and Edward live happily ever after...

Now enough with the mocking part, I've seen some Twilight movies, not all of them though, the first one was great, my favorite character is Alice, the baseball scene was nice, the scene when they killed that blond evilness was also nice, burned him, cracked his neck, just killed him in every way they found in the book, just awesome... The way it's supposed to be. I loved the first movie, until it appeared to be a love story between a human girl and a vampire guy, wasn't it supposed to be a story about vampires? Yeah there might be nothing wrong if they fell in love with each other, but did we have to see how crazily they loved each other to -death-? Were the overrated love (sex) scenes even needed?

 

I can come up with more if you want, I'm totally the critic type, I can watch one of the movies and bring you a dozen of reasons.

Doom_movie_poster.jpg

 

I love the Doom games.  That's probably why I hate this movie.  On its own, it's just a bland action movie in space with failed science experiments to fight.  So it's already failed to be interesting.  But it gets a lot worse when you compare it to the source material.

 

Doom was about fighting demons on the moons of Mars and eventually making your way into Hell itself.  See: demons.  And Hell.  Neither of which are a part of this movie. And that's why it's a shitty adaptation.  Outside of some characters overusing phrases like "Go to hell," nothing about this movie has anything to do with demons or hellspawn.  And what was the movie's tagline?  "HELL BREAKS LOOSE."  Like HELL it does.  It just becomes another samey sci-fi action flick that does absolutely nothing to differentiate itself from the crowd.

 

I don't expect Doom to be an Oscar-worthy cinematic experience, but I do expect a fun action movie that does justice to the source material.  I didn't get that.  It's a shame, really.  In the right hands I think Doom could be a crazy fun action-horror film in the vein of Evil Dead.  Give it to someone like, say, Joss Whedon and I'm on board.  I'd like to see someone give it a try.  But as it stands, this film is just a boring, stupid sci-fi action flick with nothing to offer except a kinda okay four-minute first person sequence.  It fails as a movie, and it is an absolute wreck as a Doom adaptation.

^DEFINITELY THIS!!!!

I'm surprised that I forgot to mention this disgraceful imposter of a film on this thread a few days earlier. But I'm sure I mentioned it somewehre at least once before the 2009 server wipe.

That film murdered the franchise. It felt as if the director just labelled it "DOOM" by utter accident without even doing a quick pre-screen. That's how painfully disappointing it was.

It's like... Imagine that you went to the theatre to watch a new movie with the words "Harry Potter" in its title, but instead you ended up watching a movie about Peter Parker's endeavours as Spider-Man.... WTF?????

I'd want my money back for the false advertising.

I've watched both actually (took one of my cousins to see both), and did not really care for either. Brave and Tangled felt like "LOOK AT ME, I CAN DO MEDIEVAL STORYTELLING TOO, LOOK AT ME NOT SHREK!!!"

 

And for the record, I do not hate ALL of them, just most of the ones that came out after the aforementioned "The Great Mouse Detective" with the two above mentioned exceptions of "The Rescuers Down Under" and "Wreck-It Ralph".

 

So, yeah... Those Disney films stay at number 1.

 

The Twilight Saga is at number 5 only because I have little criticism of the films other than the what I mentioned before (Raping long standing Bram Stoker established rules on vampires, and use of overt propoganda from the Mormon cult thinly veiled LDS messages)

(most)

 

I really get it, you hate Disney movies that were released from the 2nd of July 1986 and on, with the exception of the two.

The Incredibles (since I mentioned it before) was released in 2004, can you give me 3 reasons why you hate it? Other than that they're 'lame super heroes'... Yeah you're probably gonna say that, so give me just only 3 other reasons.

I just remembered one live action film that I've hated ever since it came out...

 

215px-Junoposter2007.jpg

 

I'll probably get disliked for this, but I cannot stand Juno. It's one of the most annoying and pretentious films I've ever seen, yet it managed to become really popular because of its so-called "quirkiness" and corny Indie folk songs. >_> Oh and the Oscar-winning *SNORT* dialogue, like this!

 

'Honest to blog?'

'That ain't no Etch-A-Sketch. This is one doodle that can't be un-did, Homeskillet.'

 

How is this best writing? HOW? Nobody in real life talks like that! And if they ever did I would punch them! DX

  • 3 years later...

Unmarked spoiler below because I didn't want to break up the flow of the post with a spoiler tag, as a major point I was making centered around the spoiler bit. You have been warned...though I sincerely hope you weren't planning on watching this movie anyway.

I am going to revive this long-dead thread in order to talk about a movie that's, fittingly, about someone not being dead.

God's_Not_Dead.jpg

It's very rare for me to say that I hate a piece of entertainment media, but God's Not Dead is an exception. A BIG exception. Not only is this film absolutely terrible in every way, with characters and a storyline that are completely worthless and clearly had less than zero effort put into them, but to me, it also symbolizes everything wrong with Western Christian culture today, both in terms of its content and on a meta level. It embodies the fact that a large sum of Christians today care more about "winning", whether that be winning an argument with an atheist or creating a major Christian movie that performs well at the box office, than they do about loving their neighbors, loving their enemies, or the actual teachings and life of Jesus Christ and his apostles in general. Christianity is supposed to be about love, humility, and redemption. This move is about "oh yeah we sure showed those atheist losers with our AWESOME arguments!!" And sadly, very many ACTUALLY good Christians who DO care about what Christianity is actually about are oblivious to the terrible subtext of this film, because they only see it in terms of it being a movie that expounds their values, not realizing it's doing so on a superficial level.

One of the specific aspects of this movie that really shows in a blatant way that it's NOT about the love that is SUPPOSED to be the focal point of Christianity is the fact that at the very end of the movie, the atheist professor (the main antagonist) dies, but IT'S ACTUALLY A GOOD THING BECAUSE HE ACCEPTED CHRIST BEFORE HE DIED SO HE WENT TO HEAVEN! EVERYTHING'S COOL RIGHT????

Seriously, after the atheist DIES the Christians around him express NO sadness whatsoever. What the heck??? I don't think I have to tell you that, in this culture, Christians are still sad when people they love die, even knowing they're going to heaven, especially if that person dies young, because they're going to miss that person and be sad about them not being able to live their earthly life to its full extent. Therefore, the fact that no one really cares or minds when the atheists dies is a clear indication that they DON'T love him. Which is cool, because it's not like Christians are supposed to love other people or anything, right? I mean, that's OBVIOUSLY not a major part of our faith. It's not like the command to love each other is reiterated again and again throughout the gospels and epistles, or like love has been considered the primary virtue of Christianity throughout its 2,000 year history...OH WAIT.

Seriously, this particular part of the movie really screams out a message that's found in the subtext of the whole film - that they don't want to convert their enemies out of love, they just want them to go away. They want them to stop criticizing us and making the culture less respectful to our ideas, because that makes US uncomfortable. According to the "Christianity" of this film, opponents are obstacles that must be destroyed, and hostile enemies who are full of irrational hatred, rather than people who are no worse than us, who came to their conclusions through their own reasoning and believe them sincerely, who are worthy of respect just as we are.

And the worst part about this is, this is what people actually believe, and even many good Christians are too impressed by the superficial "Christianity" of this film to see how fatally flawed it is.

If you want to see a movie full of stereotypes (many of them rather nasty), characters that are BEYOND shallow, plotting so horrendous it's almost nonsensical, and FREE of anything truly moral or spiritual, God's Not Dead just might be the film for you.

BTW, even Glenn Beck backed off on his initial praises of this film because he realized how flawed its message actually was. THAT'S how bad it is.

I feel like that should be an internet law or something. 

Fox News Law: If even Glenn Beck and the other bizarre people featured on Fox News believes that a conservative Christian anything is too extreme for their liking, it can be safely discarded as junk.

But yeah, that aside, God's Not Dead is a failure I saw coming from the very start given its source material. I'm not making this up-- its actually based off of an internet copypasta/chain mail favorite. More specifically, the atheist professor one. RationalWiki, while not a favorite website of mine, has a good archive of the variations of the story, and each one is very obviously BS. With that in mind, its easy to predict where the movie would go wrong-- ridiculous situations, unsympathetic characters, and blatant demonization/angelification. On the other hand, at least God's Not Dead wasn't based on the Navy Seal version-- that's the one where the protagonist, a Navy Seal, punches the professor hard enough to knock him over and we're not only expected to believe that he won't get court martialled and/or roundly condemned but also that he's the good, honorable guy here.

---

As for the movie I detest the most... well, honestly, I don't really watch movies a lot and tend to avoid the big controversial ones, so its sort of a difficult question to answer. In terms of movies that overall disappointed me the most, though, I'd go with the Sonic fan film. It was a movie with an interesting concept-- what would Sonic be like in the real world? How would the actions of his friends and enemies be interpreted by people like you and me? And its spearheaded by the guy behind the Mega Man fanfilm, which is popular enough to get him access to people of note like Doug Walker and, perhaps, a larger budget than most fanfilms get. But it was completely squandered on bad CG, bizarre casting choices (What's Egoraptor doing here?), too much edginess (Yes, I know that some interpretations of Robotnik depict him as racist and that some his schemes could be interpreted as a form of genocide, but this film takes it way too far and ends up missing what makes Robotnik Robotnik-- namely, he hasn't got a trace of humor or ham to him and generally acts in way that brings him closer to Black Doom's characterization than anybody else's), and overall bad writing/editing (seriously, some scenes go on way too long). What a shame.
