And I'm back to being Rush Limbaugh, again. And wow, what a fantasy world Miguel lives in! Hollywood is recycling all these old movies for "the enjoyment of a new generation". HAHAHAHA! Hollywood doesn't give a flying f*** about the new generation, all they care about is making money, and doing so with as minimal effort as possible. Sure, the makers don't intend for the revivals to be bad, but 9 times out of 10, they turn out to be bad. We're right in the middle of the "moviepocalypse" as we speak -- this year is proof of it, with every movie being a remake of or sequel to something from the 80s, and almost every one of them has sucked so far.
Miguel -- Why are you in such denial about this?

You are the one living in the fantasy world, BHB! You're too prejudiced to look on the bright side of these revivals. You should be placed in an asylum for believing the lies of another bigot. You should see these movies and form your own opinion, but you always pan the revivals even before they come out. You have no heart, no soul, and no open mindedness. You and MPC are the worst film critics in the world because you always shun the revivals and stereotype every one of them as bad. RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Yo, Miguel -- Please dispense with the use of epithets like "you jerk" (which I just edited out of this post). If you cannot make your point without resorting to insults, then your point seems less valid to anyone trying to appraise it from an unbiased perspective. Again, let's all try to maintain some degree of civility in our posts here... |

Hey, I'll be the first to admit that there are a few (keyword: FEW) exceptions to this reboot/remake/sequel craze that Hollywood is in right. Nolan's versions of Batman are few superior than the original four movies. The new "Karate Kid", good for what it is, but still not as good in its storytelling and character development aspects. And hell, even "Toy Story 3" is blowing everyone away. But it stops there. When you can only name one or two good examples out of hundreds of remade movies, the track record speaks for itself.
And frankly, you come across as a HUGE hypocrite, you do know that, right. He you are, claiming that I am the spawn of Satan for saying Hollywood remakes suck 9 times out of 10, and they are inferior to the originals, and yet you are a paying and voting memember of a forum that posts in the begining of each sub-forum about how they are devoted to bashing Hollywood remakes for being bad 9 times out of 10. So in other words, you're saying that everyone who posts here is a heartless, soulless, closed mind "bigot" ... INCLUDING yourself. Nice.
And let's not forget, here you are claiming I'm sterotyping these movie, yet aren't you the one who makes lists of movies in your Bottom 20 BEFORE you even better to SEE them? Not to mention how you declare anything with the name "Twilight" in the title as the worst movie coming out all year. So don't be whining and complaining about my posting habbits and opinions, considering your's are no different.

You have a point there. I have a strong dislike for Twilight and you have a strong dislike for remakes/reboots/revivals. Just one slight correction here: This forum is not only dedicated to bashing Hollywood remakes for being bad most of the time, but it's dedicated to bashing almost all movies, original or not, for being bad most of the time. I guess I'm just as stubborn as you are. Truce? |

Yeah, truce...
RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: OMG, might peace have broken out in the midst of an angry war of words??
It's not like I'm out to get you,Miguel. I just have a strong disagreement with your opinion about the current state of movies. Yes, this forum is dedicated to bashing all bad movies, original or not, but we first and foremost go after movies that we see as being uncalled remakes/sequels, which is what all these "revivals" are. You like to say studios are making these remakes for a new generation. I (and many Razzies members) see it as taking good, classic, smart movies, and dumbing it and watering it down.

I hope "peace" has not "broken out" on our Forum...Hollywood's output certainly isn't entertaining me these days, so I come here for amusement!

You're welcome, saturnwatcher.
And head RAZZberry, it's not so much an "angry war" as it is Miguel buzzing around like a fly in my ear, and me repeatedly just swatting him away...

He wasn't an idiot - He was mentally challenged. A lot of retarded people commit crimes because they don't know what they're doing. Why else would he try to kill the girl he loves?
Also, what team? Did you pay attention to the movie, or did you just watch it to make fun of Shyamalan?

It's currently 100% on RT. And I think Nimrod Antal is a very promising director after I saw Vacancy.

 Geez, MWG, haven't we discussed this? There are eight...count em, 8....1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...reviews counted for this film so far. The fact that the first 8 in are positive might well be a good sign, but it is hardly a trend. George McGovern probably got the first 8 votes in the 1972 election and Nixon ended up slaughtering him. So let's give it a rest until enough opinions are offered to make it worth actually considering, okay?

I really didn't like the first two films, so I'm hoping this will be the first good film for the Predator franchise. And with Nimrod in the director's chair, I think the film holds a lot of promise.

Addressing Vits' questions several posts above: 2. "The team", as in the team that he is a part of in the Predator movie.

MWG - Being "promising" and actually delivering the goods are two different things. Mister M. Night was at one time considered "promising," and now look at him!
PS: Although it is dated and has its fair share of campy and cheesy moments, the very first "Predator" is indeed a good, entertaining action movie.

Hey, congratulations again MWG ... you just jinxed the movie, like you always do whenever you say how great the first 10 reviews are ... which are then followed by 100 negative reviews! You really need to stop doing that, it really doesn't help your argument.

I found a picture of Brody from this that shows he's plenty buff enuff for an action movie:
RESPONSE from head RAZZberry: MWG - How do you know Brody's pecs aren't either prosthetics or the result of CGI doctoring?? Also, is that jungle mud -- or Predator sh*t -- that Brody is covered with in the photo??

I just found out the first Predator film got a 36 on Metacritic, which is surprisingly low:
