MEMBER DISCUSSION of DEVIL INSIDE

SO. IS THIS ONE HELLUVA BAD MOVIE, or WHAT?!? 

One For The Money is, easily, going to be the worst of those movies. In fact, that's the one "non-Seltzerberg" movie that I'm dreading the most!

Pardon my self-important tone, but didn't I bring this movie up? It looked to me like the worst film for the first weekend of the year, in other words, the first bad film out of the gate in 2012. If my memory (or rather the old release schedules for every year since Y2K) is correct, these are the past "First Bad Films Out Of the Gate":

I'd personally add Red Tails to that list.... and maybe lose Contraband (which looks kind of bland and doesn't look very memorable). But that's just my opinion....

Okay were really going off topic here, but here it goes....

Originally posted by SchumacherH8ter I don't know Vheid -- I think Battleship has the potential to be a laugh riot, unlike One For The Money.

In my mind, it is the final installment of a unofficial Flashy Invasion-trilogy, the other movies in that trilogy being Skyline and Battle: L.A., and I doubt if this movie will be much funnier as those other two...

Talking about Skyline... isn't Skyline 2 also supposed to be released this year....

Originally posted by whatsthepoint Why Red tails, it has possibly potentional to be good. Are you simply attacking it because it has Cuba Gooding Jr, in a non Straight to DVD release?

Cuba has nothing to do with it... It's multiple factors that makes me believe that it will be bad... The director (who's only other film is rated at 24% on RT), the producer being George Lucas, the fact that it's a movie with an oscar-baity premise being released in January, but most of all the special effects... I don't know if you've seen the trailer (if not here's a link) but there are some very cheap looking CGI planes in the movie and more importantly a lot of the fight scenes with the planes look like CGI-overload.... There is just simply too much happening on the screen.... I kind of have the same gut-feeling as I had with the special effects in movies like Sucker Punch and Battle: L.A....

I could still be wrong off course... The non-CGI parts might be very good and inspiring... maybe the reviews will be okay... It's clearly just an opinion of mine and you can give it as much value as you want...

George Lucas hasn't even produced any films outside of Star Wars and Indiana Jones in years (and both of those scored Fresh Ratings on Rotten Tomatoes might I add). The only thing he has produced with negative reviews was the Star Wars animated film, and even that spawned a successful animated series. Just because you don't like him (and a lot of people don't), doesn't mean critics hate Lucasfilms in general.

Also this is the first feature motion picture for the director. What movie has he done that has scored 24% on rotten tomatoes, because I can't find it?

I don't know about this one. At first, it seemed like a forgettable, bland film. However, the recent red band trailer peaked my interest quite a bit because I wasn't expecting this to be rated R. It could go either way, I suppose.

Originally posted by Vits Wow! As for the first releases of each year, if you look at GTA's list, you'll notice that those movies had reasons to be remembered by the end of the year, mainly having Razzie nominees, winners or contenders. But I can't find a reason for this to be even considered.
