I felt inclined to make a thread for what I consider to be the worst major motion picture I've seen in my 25 years. I watched this on Blu-Ray and was actually able to see the lines from the script coming out of the "actors'" mouths.
Who in their right mind thought this was a good idea? How did Nicolas Cage think this was a good idea???? And how in the fuck did Juliane Moore think her role was worth 2 cents??????
Has anyone experienced this pain?
I watched it off and on, not paying much attention. For that, it didn't seem like a bad movie.
Me and my mom saw the end of it a couple of times, it seems pretty good. Not really into it enough to rent it though.
I hated to death the scene where he had to figure out a way to talk to the girl in the little restaurant.
T'was decent till the ending which totally killed it.
It's like putting Nicholas Cage as Johnny Blaze.
Yes…I said it.
This is exactly how I felt about that Hancock movie.
Can this thread now be about bad movies we have seen lately? Because oh boy, have I seen some stinkers.
Nicolas Cage more like Nicolas stop acting
Hancock is BAD but you could tell they were trying.
I mean, I'm sure that twist looked GREAT on paper. Just the execution was SHIT and it needed a villain that somebody GAVE A SHIT ABOUT. It couldn't make up its mind whether it wanted to be a sci-fi, summer action fest, drama, family story. They were all smelt together into a highly condensed pile of 'awful'.
NEXT just….ugh. If someone plopped that script in front of me and promised me $100,000 to act it out I dunno if I could do it.

TWIST!? you call that a twist!? I'm not typing it out again so here's my post from the hancock thread.
There seems to be a trend of late where films have a great premise, where it shapes up to be good, the trailer builds it up but then you realise you've seen the best bits before you've even sat down.
Things I knew before I went into the film
! He was a bum
He had superpowers
I'd seen all his action sequences. The car chase. Leaving the car on Capitol records, throwing the kid in the air etc…
The PR guy wanted to help him
He managed to turn his life around
he would eventually wear a suit
He would fight in the middle of a storm.
! Which turned out to be 85% of the movie.
Unfortunately it was also completly predictable.
! @Trailer:
! > I am the only one of my kind
! I've seen enough poorly scripted films to know, that when I heard that, that he wasn't going to be the only one of his kind. This was validated as soon as Theron started doing the 'Oh, I'm looking at him but I shouldn't because I know more then I let on'. Which was basically as soon as she appeared on screen. Not to mention that she was second bill in all the adverts, even though she is never seen in any of the fucking trailers or adverts. Fuck off.
Bad film.
I also wanted to explain how the twist is also just one big mishmash of a plot hole. Where the fuck did that storm come from? For example but I won't.
Also equally bad, if not worse. Deathproof. I hate that movie beyond reasonable doubt.
yesterday night i watched xXx² on TV.
That's like drinking a gallon of bleach just because you saw it lying there.
i thought you were talking about BANCOCK DANGEROUS at first
Weird i had actually kinda wanted to see Next but i didnt care alot so i never bothered renting. It was on just the other day and i DVR'd it. LUCKILY I wiki'd it first before i watched it with my GF and saw how bad it was, so i just fast forwarded it the part that made me want to see it in the first place, which was him dodging the bullets which was pretty nice. Then deleted it and ended up watched Resident Evil extnintion.
you guys can't recognize a movie that's so bad it's good.
haha, my dad loves this movie.
Wasn't this like based on a Philip K. Dick novel?
how to say my name: Darks, NOT Dar X, Dar X sounds retarded
