Warcraft was a flawlessly executed faithful adaptation of the game of the same name. It's what I always hope for when watching adapted media, they literally took the story straight from the game and made it a movie without bastardising it.
@@origami83 might've helped. I'm still hoping for warcraft 2 and 3 and a show based on WOW where the first season is the base game and every subsequent season are based on the expansions.
Warcraft probably would have worked better as a tv series. Waaay too much happens and the lore is full of great instances of that world, that condensing in a 90min to 2hr movie wouldn’t have done it justice
I've only watched one F&F film. It was the one walker passed away while making and so I wanted to see how it was dealt with. That was the only movie I've seen in theaters that I wanted to walk out of cuz it was so...
If you want to see a Buzz Lightyear movie that's more faithful to the character we had in the Toy Story films, then watch Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command The Adventure Begins since it was a pilot movie for a Buzz Lightyear cartoon that came out after Toy Story 2 & was better than the Lightyear movie.
I still wish they had made a World War Z 2 where we could have seen Brad Pitt fighting an army of Zombies storming downtown Moscow. That said, it isn't a perfect adaptation from the book, but I still consider it to be a decent stand alone zombie movie.
Never gonna happen the author hated the movie so much he tried to sue the studio and when that failed he bought the rights too the IP so another can’t get made
WWZ had no connection to the book. Which would have been hard to adapt, but it could have happened well, as a British-narrated zombie survival guide. It could have been darkly comic.
But it's not World War Z. I wanted the Battle of Yonkers myself, or maybe Brad Pitt as that merc hired by the rich guy who broadcast him and his toadies to the world and paid the price.
Most people I speak to have terrible things to say about Blue Beetle, but I enjoyed it so much I saw it twice (I rarely go to the movies) I like that it was a fun time the WHOLE time. Sure, a little heavy on people mispronouncing names, but I laughed, teared up, and genuinely enjoyed the characters.
If you were shocked by the ending of "Clerks III" that says WAY more about you than it does about the movie, because Stevie Wonder could see that ending coming!!!
@@rainbowslushy223 I liked it too, but the ending was anything but a shock... Especially if you listened to any of Kevin's podcasts/interviews leading up to the movie...
Agreed, but he was wrong about more than the ending being a shock. He implied that there were no laughs during the movie, but seeing it in theaters, everyone was laughing through about 75% of it. It was, in my opinion, better than the 2nd Clerks. It was worse than the first, but then again, Clerks is my favorite movie. It's a solid A tier movie.
I am surprised that Avatar wasn't on here. The one with blue aliens, not the ATLA. Aside from the admittedly beautiful visuals, the story was bad. Acting, not great. And no one wants to say that Avatar was not a good movie. Just an opinion.
I was pretty much checked out of Clerks 3 the moment I realized Becky got fridged. Worst thing is the realization that she had to have died like RIGHT after Clerks 2 ended.
"Movies that suck", to me, indicate a movie that I'd never want to watch again. But a good number of these movies I've watched many times and will enjoy watching again. Are they Oscar level? No. But they are entertaining, and that's what's important with a movie.
Being subjective is the point of all movie reviews. There's rarely an objective review that studies the quality of the writing, editing and directing. If you agree great. If you don't agree, still great. You already viewed the video. Whether you agree or object you were interested in the content.
I just recently rewatched world war z and I still liked it, especially given the troubled production is impressive. I wish I could say I’m surprised there wasn’t a single marvel movie on here I’m not
I've watched it several times and I liked it every time I've watched it. And the scene when they were searching the lab was very gripping for me (although I'm not a huge horror fan so I don't have many comparisons). But it's not that I don't want to admit it, I just enjoyed this movie and whenever it comes on TV I will watch it because it's a good fun for me.
The BIG problem with World War Z was the title. That was pretty much all it had in common with the excellent book. It was a better than OK zombie movie, but it wasn't WWZ.
World War Z is my all-time favourite zombie flick, and Im a big zombie flick fan. I have no idea what its like compared to the book but I dont care, as I watch movies based on the movie it self, not to compare them to books. Agree with the rest of the list (Clerks 3 is the epitome of cringe).
I saw that during UK channel 4's launch year in the Worst of Hollywood Friday night series, along with the likes of Godzilla vs The Smog Monster (Hedorah).
Reloaded is still garbage, that freeway scene is amazing but does not redeem it whatsoever. You're right about the franchise, it should have remained one single legendary movie
I treat the first Matrix as a standalone movie that was groundbreaking and changed the cinema (and game industry as well). However I also treat other 2 movies along with the first as one story that got concluded. I enjoyed the other 2 movies, the history of Hammer fighting it's way home, fight with the machines, rave in this huge chamber of Zion. However I always cringe at the one moment of the last fight of Neo and agent Smith, I cannot unwatch the blow to the face of agent Smith at the end of this fight that is showed in slow motion.
I enjoyed Ready Player One. Maybe because the references were from my youth. But I liked the hunt for eggs, and figuring out the clues and such. It was fun
I agree, I actually enjoyed it better than the book. Maybe because the book had me rolling my eyes enough already that seeing the spectacle come to life in theaters made it more palatable.
Blue beetle didn't suck as much as it had a dated story that would of done well 10 years ago. I never played Warcraft so maybe that's why I liked it lol
I agree with all of them except Warcraft. As someone who never knew much about its fiction I enjoyed it, just kinda pissed it was made with CLEAR intentions of a sequel so I feel like we never got the entire story.
@@Terrato.Worzen The lead 'Human' actor (can't remeber his name) was crap, so that didn't help. He seemed to just be playing his character from the Vikings tv series. They also chose the wrong story to start a franchise.
@@Thurgosh_OG I understand why some people might think that, but honestly, he didn't bother me at all. Maybe I expected waaay too little and was greatly surprised.
Remember the time when fans were just excited to see a superhero movie and didn't demand they bring anything to the table other than being GOOD and enjoyable? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Cannot agree with Warcraft. Just being able to see those "places" from the game on the big screen was awe inspiring. I only wish it had done better and had started a franchise. GREATLY agree with It 2. I have no idea how that movie could be so bad.
As a fan of both the book AND the 90's mini-series (Tim Curry will ALWAYS be Pennywise) I thoroughly enjoyed IT Ch 2. It wasn't a faithful adaptation from the book, as a mature adult I'm OK with that and understand why that happens, but it was an enjoyable conclusion to the movies that hit enough of the key beats imho. No film rendition of the end of IT that targets a mainstream audience is EVER going to satisfying King fans.
Both "Chapters" sucked. Muschietti completely missed the themes and the tone of the book - something that the '90s mini-series managed despite being a far more limited production. Setting is wrong, characters are wrong, casting is terrible and the whole thing just wants to be "Stranger Things - the movie for the cinema theater goers". Which is like making a genuine Star Wars movie based on one of the thousands of Star Wars rip-offs - e.g. Battle Beyond the Stars. Hold on... isn't that basically the plot of Rebel Moon? Ultimate capitulation and proof of how BAD the entire Muschietti project was is the fact that after retconing the entire thing to the '80s to appeal to the Stranger Things crowd - NOW they want to make a DAMN PREQUEL retcon TV series set a generation earlier! Which, to bring up a Star Wars metaphor again, is like making prequels to episodes 7-9 by resurrecting and deepfaking dead and elderly actors and shoehorning them into franchises stuck between two trilogies. Take your pick which recent piece of shit fits more. But if one has to be chosen, Chapter 2 is far, FAR worse. From terrible casting which dictated re-imagining of characters and their relations because of star power, constant retcons of the first movie (now with older and taller kids - puberty, how does it work) because character dynamic doesn't fit the new casting, movie's incapability to choose a genre due to casting Bill Hader and letting him dictate the movie through improvisation (because script is shit and writing comedy is HARD) - constantly turning inta a comedy while trying to be both an atmospheric horror AND a jump-scary shlock flick, terrible, TERRIBLE bastardization of themes and missing the point of the book to the point of parody, movie being too busy planting Easter eggs and references to do a proper plot let alone story and theme... To the movie finally literally arguing that violence is the solution to trauma (find you childhood bully and murder him when you grow up kids)... Followed by advertising of suicide for those who are too weak to practice violence and who only weaken the society by their existence. Oh wait... Andy Muschietti is of ITALIAN descent - from Argentina? You don't say!? With ideas like that I would have sworn he was of GERMAN-Argentinian descent. You know... Might makes right, exterminating evil midgets, killing off gays, "the weak one" who would infect others with his weakness just so happens to be the Jew... BTW, did anyone notice how the black guy is way more incompetent and a liar and a thief in this adaptation? His lies almost ruining everything? Maybe his grandfather lied. Then again... Italian fascists had to hide somewhere too. Who knows. All I'm saying is he's clearly a psychopath. It took (me) 2 tries and over 4 hours to watch through the second movie. We constantly had to stop it to have a rant or discussion (with my girlfriend) as we were watching it after revisiting the '90s mini-series. First one I managed in about 2. it is still BAD, but it almost works.
Im honestly still waiting for thst ready player one sequel along with alita battle angel honestly both were really excellent movies that deserve sequels
Alita was surprisingly good and definitely deserving of a sequel. Ready Player One was ok but if the sequel was based off of the book Ready Player Two, then no thanks.
@Mattalica-ss9pj I personally haven't read the books but I'd mostly just love a sequel because I love the concept of ready player one and love to see more of the oasis personally
I'm not really waiting for RPO's sequel. I thought the first was decent(I've watched it off and on when it shows up on streaming again), but there is nothing really there to warrant a second. And from what I've heard about the second it seems really like the writer really didn't understand what made the first good.
Personally, I like Lightyear, even if it does clash horribly with the Toy Story movies. It's an enjoyable sci-fi story with some fun characters and an interesting exploration of time dilation (seemingly inspired by the song '39 by Queen).
Every single point of criticism levelled at Blue Beetle - which I agree with, by the way - fits to a T on Black Panther as well (except for "latino", of course).
I didn't like Black Panther much either, but I think you're forgetting just how bland Blue Beetle was. It's so painfully uninspired, I don't think there's any comparison to BP.
It's not that Black Panther sucked, so much as it really wasn't any of the things that the political hype made it out to be. It was Weekend at Bernie's made out to be Citizen Kane...
Except BP made money and shattered box office numbers for a non summer release when trolls were actively rooting against it. Was the story simply the Lion King retold? If you say so, because audiences *like* well told stories and Blue Beetle wasn't (that's the difference). Also, BP was deeply layered because every scene, costume, music score, etc, told a story (think Christopher Nolan type of nerd levels). There are plenty of breakdown videos you can check out for those things, which justified its Best Picture nomination.
Everyone I know hated Matrix and World War Z, Ready Player One is bad when compared to the book but the book had such a narrow target audience that it only made sense to broaden the appeal.
Almost all of these movies were disliked from the get-go, I guess titling a video 'let's take an extra dunk on these flawed movies' just wouldn't generate as many clicks.
Matrix Resurrections was so painful to watch, not even counting the whole scene that goes over what even the original was about, what was really heartbreaking was how weak they made Neo. That force push motion they use sooooo much in the movie in lieu of any good choreographed action, if you take away the lil force wave that shoots out, it is just our beloved Keanu Reeves flinching from every attack and the enemy just flying away. That constant visual of Neo just putting his hands up haphazardly to just shoot out a shockwave every which way made Neo seem like he was fearful of getting a paper cut.
Clerks III hits a little different if you're pushing 50. I'm not going to say it was the best entry, as obviously the second one was, but it is a solid ending.
Rustin is not a bad film. Sure, it didn't go as in depth on it's lead or the supporting characters, but it told it's surface story well and Coleman was still amazing.
I'm definitely in denial about World War Z so much so that it's actually one of my favorite horror/zombie movies of all time! haha. I love the opening especially. So tense and really sets the stage.
I can't take negative criticism of DC movies serious anymore. It's almost the cool thing to do. Most of them Get labeled as a terrible movie before they've even been seen.
Wish should be added to the list. Most people wouldn't think of it because they didn't watch it yet, but it did poorly at the box-office and even Disney fans said it was ok. But because it was an animated Disney film nobody wants to admit it was bad.
I enjoyed Warcraft, and have watched it several times. Now that I'm reminded of it, I'm going to watch it again today (or maybe tomorrow, as I'm playing WoW with my sons tonight).
Clerks 3 was great. It was sad, funny and a great ending to the series. Especially since my younger cousin introduced me to the franchise, and he's gone now. So for me, the movie was a little cathartic.
I liked ready player one when i saw it, but ye everyone just forgot about it almost immediately. It just didnt have anything very memorable to be memed or referenced for years after. and kind of predicted the current trend of exploiting nostalgia to get people to love it.
I thought World War Z was a pretty decent zombie movie. But in no way, shape or form was it an adaptation of Max Brook's World War Z. It's a really difficult book to adapt to movie form. However, I would have loved (and still hold out faint hope) for a well-written television series based on the novel. One episode per story - with maybe some stories like The Battle of Yonkers getting two-parts. In the right hands, a brilliant tv series could be created.
So, Ready Player One "sucks" because... it's "soulless"? No concrete flaws to point out, just a blanket statement that he didn't like the story, and some memebabble about "Hollywood's worst instincts" and it being "barren"? There was nothing wrong with that story, despite whatever this "critique" was supposed to say. Was it an Oscars contender? Of course not. Most films aren't. Was it highly entertaining for its target audience? Absolutely.
Clerks 3 is based too much in reality for some people to realise the point, it has elements of wasted opportunity and regret and loss which doesn't make it an easy watch, but i feel like people going in expecting it to be a carbon copy of Clerks 1& 2 has angered them, sure there's some cringey dialogue, but the plot is solid, some critics have said the final act has the best acting and directing in a Kevin Smith movie
Ready Player One was exactly what the presenter said it was in his opening sentence. Maybe it is because I saw it in the cinema and dont feel like watching it again, but I have no issue with the movie. It did what it was seeming to be aiming for. Switch your brain off and enjoy it.
If they wanted to make lightyear they could of just used the animated series with better animation and a longer script.... big loss that could of been great
I am surprise the Phantom Menace was not on the list. The initial reviews were glowing with praise. It took some time before people admit the movie was empty of story.
While I do like stuff that IT Chapter Two had, there were stuff that weren't done right. Especially stuff that were changed from the book. - They were supposed to include Maturin (the turtle that created our universe and Pennywise's sibling) and that they would include the Losers being in the macro verse (where Pennywise originated from) but they cut it out when they started filming. They do mention Maturin when Mike experiences the hallucinations from the native Americans in which it's the name of their root. And they do have plenty of Maturin references throughout both movies like the turtle the Losers saw in the quarry's water, the LEGO Bill broke from Georgie's room, even the turtle statue in the classroom when Ben looks back on a memory. Maturin was used basically as a guide to help the Losers. - They cut importance of Audra (Bill's wife) and Tom (Beverly's husband). Tom's role was cut short in the 1990 miniseries too, but Audra's short being cut short was worse. The reason why they did so was because Audra's actress ended up pregnant and couldn't film anymore. I don't understand why they didn't just get a different actress, unless they thought the woman was just too perfect or didn't want to spend more money to get someone else or they were too focused on their scheduling to film everything. But in the book, Tom decides to go to Derry to kill Beverly and the other Loseres. Audra goes to Derry to help Bill because she knows he's in trouble. Pennywise makes Tom kidnap Audra to use her as bait for Bill to go to the sewer. While Audra becomes catatonic upon staring at the Deadlights, Tom drops dead upon being frightened from the sight. Thus, Pennywise eats Tom. I wish we got to see Tom die because he deserved it for how abusive he was to Beverly. Plus, the movie could've done something creative in which Tom fights the other Losers like Bill and Ben. Mostly Ben. - While having Pennywise turn into a zombie of Patrick to break Henry out of the mental hospital, I wish we got to see Vic and Belch (other than the one flashback we get to see them). In a deleted scene of the first movie, it reveals that Henry killed them and they're dead in his car. However, in the book, Pennywise took on the form of Frankenstein and not only decapitated Vic, but bit the side of Belch's face off, causing Henry to run out of the sewer. When Pennywise turns into Vic and Belch in front of adult Henry in which he apologizes for running away. - They ruined the importance of Bill's bike Silver. Yes, Bill rides on it which helps him feel like a kid again and relive precious memories. However, it's used in the book to help save his wife Audra which was also used in the miniseries. Bill uses it to help wake Audra up from her catatonic state. It made it a beautiful ending for the miniseries in which they kiss in the middle of the street. I was excited to see it on the big screen for this film, but was disappointed on how that wasn't used. - The climax of the film is incredibly different. They make it longer than it needed to be with having Eddie and Richie decide what door to pick, Beverly and Ben trapped in separate areas, and Bill remembering he faked his sickness so he wouldn't play with Georgie. And they make Pennywise shrink by saying how he's a clown. I get the direction they were going for that, but it just felt kinda stupid. The way it's described in the book with Bill punching Pennywise's stomach open to get the heart out and crush it was more impactful, which is what the miniseries kinda did. Except in the miniseries and this film, they had all the Losers crush it with Bill. I will say that I was glad to see Mike join the fight since in the book and miniseries, he was left in the hospital after being attacked by Henry. But the clown/spider form was ridiculous. And while the miniseries' spider looks a bit silly, it's a way better form to be more close to the source material. Even though I'm afraid of spiders, I would have wanted to see what the book described as Pennywise in the book: a giant black spider with red eyes. Even having the flood happen as a result of Pennywise's death. - Killing off Dean (the boy that Bill tried to save) was disappointing. In the book, we don't know his name, but Bill does still show concern for him. They made the kid a bigger deal in this movie than he was in the book. And he didn't die in the book. Instead, when a flood happens after Pennywise dies, Bill sees the boy in a raincoat chasing a paper boat down the street just like Georgie did. Bill assured the kid that everything would be okay now. - They didn't include Bill's stuttering phrase. In the first movie when Bill was on his way home from school, when he was walking up the Neibolt house, and before Pennywise disappeared at the end, Bill had this phrase: "He thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts". His mom gave him that to help with his stutter. When Georgie died, his stuttering got worse. So Bill says the phrase to Pennywise to show he's not afraid and it actually hurts IT. Bill was supposed to say it again 27 years later when Pennywise poses as George in which Bill would say "You are no ghost". I will say that the main thing that I was okay with the movie changing from the book was the Losers keeping their memories. In the book and miniseries, they started to forget everything again after killing Pennywise. However, Stephen King teased in his other books that Pennywise might still be alive and that's probably why they forgot. But I'm glad they get to remember in this version. Even with painful memories, it's important to remember these things because it shapes us who we are. Plus, Bill won't have to forget about Georgie again. In the book, Bill tells Audra that even though he's mentioned Georgie to her, he was only repeating a fact and with that, he actually hadn't thought about Georgie since he was a kid. So having Bill ultimately forget about Georgie in the movie and miniseries makes it depressing. I also wish they did better with Bill's character. Bill's supposed to be the leader of the Losers Club. For Chapter Two, they made it almost like Mike was more of the main character. I mean, sure, he's was the only one who stayed and with that, he remembers everything. But Bill's leadership wasn't really there anymore in this sequel. Like when Mike and Beverly decided to make Pennywise think he's small. Bill was confused how they could do that. I'm a big IT fan and I will say that this sequel was not perfect. Sure, it does adapt things from the book that the miniseries didn't do and it made some interesting changes. And I was glad to see this on the big screen. But they set up so much stuff from the first movie and abandoned those aspects in Chapter Two. If another adaptation ever happens, I hope they can learn from Chapter Two's mistakes.
Yeah, I just think WhatCulture doesn't actually like movies. Most of these movies are fun watches if you aren't gonna nitpick the hell out of them. The only movie I'll actually agree with on this is is World War Z. That movie was garbage and should have just had a generic zombie movie name.
0:42 I am not surprised that Matrix Resurrections was in here? It underperformed and Warner Brothers face multiple lawsuits from the author and original actors for thier bad portrayal of it and in fact, they are facing further multiple class lawsuits and fines for the way it is made. They are facing court starting March 1th 2024 and expected to finish in 2030. Whatever is going on here, it is huge.
The only praise we heard for any of these had nothing to do with the movie itself. These were all praised for nostalgia, cgi, taking an IP in a new direction, or hitting DEI targets. I dont remember a single mention of the movies actually being called good
Most of these are universally recognized as being terrible. Have the guts to put Barbie on the list. It’s a cult movie at best. Can’t wait for the complaints about how many Oscars it gets snubbed for. Probably deserves about a 6 out of 10 just because of some of the costuming and social commentary elements. Years from now when the hype wears out, critics will revisit that script and not be afraid to admit how some of those scenes and dialog were just not very good.
Just to counterpoint the Clerks III hate - Jersey Girl and Cop Out. The former having some serious heart and the latter just being fun and dry and thus great for Brits.
I think most people would actually say the majority of the films on this list did actually suck. But no way are Warcraft, Ready Player One and WWZ bad movies.
But they literally all were complete fauilers. ESPECIALLY Warcraft and ready player 1 those did so bad it nealry bankrupted their respected studios. Just because you think they’re good does not mean they were successful in any regard.
"Ready Player One" was a much better book than movie. Still, it had major plot holes. For starters: hard core gamers wouldn't try to go off-track (backwards) in a car racing game for a full year?

Incorrect, most of these are popular movies. The guy who made this list is stupid.
If you want to see a Buzz Lightyear movie that's more faithful to the character we had in the Toy Story films, then watch Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command The Adventure Begins since it was a pilot movie for a Buzz Lightyear cartoon that came out after Toy Story 2 & was better than the Lightyear movie.

I was pretty much checked out of Clerks 3 the moment I realized Becky got fridged. Worst thing is the realization that she had to have died like RIGHT after Clerks 2 ended.
"Movies that suck", to me, indicate a movie that I'd never want to watch again. But a good number of these movies I've watched many times and will enjoy watching again. Are they Oscar level? No. But they are entertaining, and that's what's important with a movie.
I feel like this is so subjective. What some people think sucks, some people might just enjoy for what it is.
Yeah, there's a few in this list that I enjoyed.
Mind you, I enjoyed Man Of Steel, so don't trust my judgement.
Being subjective is the point of all movie reviews. There's rarely an objective review that studies the quality of the writing, editing and directing. If you agree great. If you don't agree, still great. You already viewed the video. Whether you agree or object you were interested in the content.
IT 2 and Ready Player One were awesome. Especially in theaters. Get outta here man. Who wrote this list? Jack Pooley?
I just recently rewatched world war z and I still liked it, especially given the troubled production is impressive. I wish I could say I’m surprised there wasn’t a single marvel movie on here I’m not
Naw, it should've been done like a WWII documentary. Instead, it was a sill mess.
@@pamusso1466 I will say I didn’t read the source material and I knew about the production issues so my bar was low from the start haha
I've watched it several times and I liked it every time I've watched it. And the scene when they were searching the lab was very gripping for me (although I'm not a huge horror fan so I don't have many comparisons). But it's not that I don't want to admit it, I just enjoyed this movie and whenever it comes on TV I will watch it because it's a good fun for me.
The BIG problem with World War Z was the title. That was pretty much all it had in common with the excellent book. It was a better than OK zombie movie, but it wasn't WWZ.
world war z was good, but the final act was boring.
I liked Warcraft .
World War Z is my all-time favourite zombie flick, and Im a big zombie flick fan. I have no idea what its like compared to the book but I dont care, as I watch movies based on the movie it self, not to compare them to books. Agree with the rest of the list (Clerks 3 is the epitome of cringe).
"Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" is the worst movie ever made. I love it!
"Hooray for Santy Claus" 😂 That movie's an annual tradition in my house, lol
@@martinboyle9163 Not Natalie Wood. Pia Zadora. Natalie Wood was in "Miracle on 34th St."
Now i want to see it...
I saw that during UK channel 4's launch year in the Worst of Hollywood Friday night series, along with the likes of Godzilla vs The Smog Monster (Hedorah).
oh no, there's MUCH worse out there. Go check out ed wood jrs "Glen or Glenda".
The Matrix is a good example of a franchise that didn't need to be a franchise since each sequel film was worse than the film before it.
Revolutions was awesome
yeah, I fell off after the 1st one
Didn't help it had John Wick in it!
Nothing wrong with John Wick of course, but they could have got Keanu to look a bit different.
Reloaded is still garbage, that freeway scene is amazing but does not redeem it whatsoever. You're right about the franchise, it should have remained one single legendary movie
I treat the first Matrix as a standalone movie that was groundbreaking and changed the cinema (and game industry as well). However I also treat other 2 movies along with the first as one story that got concluded. I enjoyed the other 2 movies, the history of Hammer fighting it's way home, fight with the machines, rave in this huge chamber of Zion. However I always cringe at the one moment of the last fight of Neo and agent Smith, I cannot unwatch the blow to the face of agent Smith at the end of this fight that is showed in slow motion.
I enjoyed Ready Player One. Maybe because the references were from my youth. But I liked the hunt for eggs, and figuring out the clues and such. It was fun
I agree, I actually enjoyed it better than the book. Maybe because the book had me rolling my eyes enough already that seeing the spectacle come to life in theaters made it more palatable.
Now imagine you didnt experience the 80s and 90s... it becomes very bland with cgi that already look dated.
@@godoftwinkies574 maybe. I ain't debating. I'm just saying I enjoyed it.
Yep. I really enjoyed it, myself.
It was watchable and you don't feel you're wasting your time watching it. But it's one of those movies you might watch only once and forget.
I always got 'fell asleep doing my homework and clambering to get it done' vibes from IT Chapter 2.
Then you don't know what a good sequel is, idiot.
Blue beetle didn't suck as much as it had a dated story that would of done well 10 years ago. I never played Warcraft so maybe that's why I liked it lol
I agree with all of them except Warcraft. As someone who never knew much about its fiction I enjoyed it, just kinda pissed it was made with CLEAR intentions of a sequel so I feel like we never got the entire story.
I have to agree. I feel like this could've done a lot of great as a movie series! It even got me to check out Warcraft lore!
That movie is amazing indeed. I've watched it many times and I enjoy it a lot. It's sad that people didn't like it so we'll never get a sequel...
@@Terrato.Worzen The lead 'Human' actor (can't remeber his name) was crap, so that didn't help. He seemed to just be playing his character from the Vikings tv series. They also chose the wrong story to start a franchise.
@@Thurgosh_OG I understand why some people might think that, but honestly, he didn't bother me at all. Maybe I expected waaay too little and was greatly surprised.
Many of the movies in this list was admonished by real fans immediately. Almost the only ones praising them were so-called "critics"
Remember the time when fans were just excited to see a superhero movie and didn't demand they bring anything to the table other than being GOOD and enjoyable?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
People want to hate movies now.
Cannot agree with Warcraft. Just being able to see those "places" from the game on the big screen was awe inspiring. I only wish it had done better and had started a franchise. GREATLY agree with It 2. I have no idea how that movie could be so bad.
I didn’t think It Chapter 2 sucked 🥺 I liked that movie a lot!
I liked it but not near as much as the first half.
I liked it but not near as much as the first half.
As a fan of both the book AND the 90's mini-series (Tim Curry will ALWAYS be Pennywise) I thoroughly enjoyed IT Ch 2. It wasn't a faithful adaptation from the book, as a mature adult I'm OK with that and understand why that happens, but it was an enjoyable conclusion to the movies that hit enough of the key beats imho. No film rendition of the end of IT that targets a mainstream audience is EVER going to satisfying King fans.
Both "Chapters" sucked. Muschietti completely missed the themes and the tone of the book - something that the '90s mini-series managed despite being a far more limited production.
Setting is wrong, characters are wrong, casting is terrible and the whole thing just wants to be "Stranger Things - the movie for the cinema theater goers".
Which is like making a genuine Star Wars movie based on one of the thousands of Star Wars rip-offs - e.g. Battle Beyond the Stars. Hold on... isn't that basically the plot of Rebel Moon?
Ultimate capitulation and proof of how BAD the entire Muschietti project was is the fact that after retconing the entire thing to the '80s to appeal to the Stranger Things crowd - NOW they want to make a DAMN PREQUEL retcon TV series set a generation earlier!
Which, to bring up a Star Wars metaphor again, is like making prequels to episodes 7-9 by resurrecting and deepfaking dead and elderly actors and shoehorning them into franchises stuck between two trilogies. Take your pick which recent piece of shit fits more.
But if one has to be chosen, Chapter 2 is far, FAR worse.
From terrible casting which dictated re-imagining of characters and their relations because of star power, constant retcons of the first movie (now with older and taller kids - puberty, how does it work) because character dynamic doesn't fit the new casting, movie's incapability to choose a genre due to casting Bill Hader and letting him dictate the movie through improvisation (because script is shit and writing comedy is HARD) - constantly turning inta a comedy while trying to be both an atmospheric horror AND a jump-scary shlock flick, terrible, TERRIBLE bastardization of themes and missing the point of the book to the point of parody, movie being too busy planting Easter eggs and references to do a proper plot let alone story and theme...
To the movie finally literally arguing that violence is the solution to trauma (find you childhood bully and murder him when you grow up kids)...
Followed by advertising of suicide for those who are too weak to practice violence and who only weaken the society by their existence. Oh wait... Andy Muschietti is of ITALIAN descent - from Argentina? You don't say!?
With ideas like that I would have sworn he was of GERMAN-Argentinian descent.
You know... Might makes right, exterminating evil midgets, killing off gays, "the weak one" who would infect others with his weakness just so happens to be the Jew... BTW, did anyone notice how the black guy is way more incompetent and a liar and a thief in this adaptation? His lies almost ruining everything?
Maybe his grandfather lied. Then again... Italian fascists had to hide somewhere too. Who knows. All I'm saying is he's clearly a psychopath.
It took (me) 2 tries and over 4 hours to watch through the second movie. We constantly had to stop it to have a rant or discussion (with my girlfriend) as we were watching it after revisiting the '90s mini-series.
First one I managed in about 2. it is still BAD, but it almost works.
@@d3nza482you do realise Stephen king was massively involved in the two movies and nearly all changes were his choice.
Im honestly still waiting for thst ready player one sequel along with alita battle angel honestly both were really excellent movies that deserve sequels
Ready Player One and Alita ❤
Alita was surprisingly good and definitely deserving of a sequel. Ready Player One was ok but if the sequel was based off of the book Ready Player Two, then no thanks.
@Mattalica-ss9pj I personally haven't read the books but I'd mostly just love a sequel because I love the concept of ready player one and love to see more of the oasis personally
I'm not really waiting for RPO's sequel. I thought the first was decent(I've watched it off and on when it shows up on streaming again), but there is nothing really there to warrant a second. And from what I've heard about the second it seems really like the writer really didn't understand what made the first good.
@@TrackMediaOnly - Yup, the second book missed the mark by a wide margin.
Agree with all of these films apart from Ready player one. It's a popcorn film - simple....and I've read the source material.
A handful of people only thought blue beetle was even stomachable. Everyone thought it was awful.
Maybe I'm an outlier with Blue Beetle
But I really enjoyed it
Man I loved Warcraft the movie lol
Personally, I like Lightyear, even if it does clash horribly with the Toy Story movies. It's an enjoyable sci-fi story with some fun characters and an interesting exploration of time dilation (seemingly inspired by the song '39 by Queen).
Every single point of criticism levelled at Blue Beetle - which I agree with, by the way - fits to a T on Black Panther as well (except for "latino", of course).
I didn't like Black Panther much either, but I think you're forgetting just how bland Blue Beetle was. It's so painfully uninspired, I don't think there's any comparison to BP.
I too felt critics over praised Black Panther … pretty formulaic superhero story with a Simba/Scar subplot
It's not that Black Panther sucked, so much as it really wasn't any of the things that the political hype made it out to be. It was Weekend at Bernie's made out to be Citizen Kane...
Yeah, but Black Panther didn't have Abuela The Secret Revolutionary in it. Her character alone is worth watching Blue Beetle.
Except BP made money and shattered box office numbers for a non summer release when trolls were actively rooting against it.
Was the story simply the Lion King retold? If you say so, because audiences *like* well told stories and Blue Beetle wasn't (that's the difference).
Also, BP was deeply layered because every scene, costume, music score, etc, told a story (think Christopher Nolan type of nerd levels).
There are plenty of breakdown videos you can check out for those things, which justified its Best Picture nomination.
Everyone I know hated Matrix and World War Z, Ready Player One is bad when compared to the book but the book had such a narrow target audience that it only made sense to broaden the appeal.
I could appreciate that if they had the courage to change the title too.
Seems like they're just mislabeled products to trick the unwary public
I completely agree with this list!... except for World War Z. This film is excellent. One of the best zombie movies of recent years.
Almost all of these movies were disliked from the get-go, I guess titling a video 'let's take an extra dunk on these flawed movies' just wouldn't generate as many clicks.
Matrix Resurrections was so painful to watch, not even counting the whole scene that goes over what even the original was about, what was really heartbreaking was how weak they made Neo. That force push motion they use sooooo much in the movie in lieu of any good choreographed action, if you take away the lil force wave that shoots out, it is just our beloved Keanu Reeves flinching from every attack and the enemy just flying away.
That constant visual of Neo just putting his hands up haphazardly to just shoot out a shockwave every which way made Neo seem like he was fearful of getting a paper cut.
Clerks III hits a little different if you're pushing 50. I'm not going to say it was the best entry, as obviously the second one was, but it is a solid ending.
Yeah, I enjoyed clerks 3, it was by no means perfect but it had heart (ironically)…
I agree
Rustin is not a bad film. Sure, it didn't go as in depth on it's lead or the supporting characters, but it told it's surface story well and Coleman was still amazing.
I was going to comment this, but you articulated my thoughts. Rustin was good enough.
I find It hard to believe none of the star wars sequels made it on to the list
Not really. They would probably be on a list of movies no one wants to admit they enjoy.
I'm definitely in denial about World War Z so much so that it's actually one of my favorite horror/zombie movies of all time! haha. I love the opening especially. So tense and really sets the stage.
"10 movies that everyone forgot existed before they even left theatres."
I can't take negative criticism of DC movies serious anymore. It's almost the cool thing to do. Most of them Get labeled as a terrible movie before they've even been seen.
A lot of TH-camrs are getting paid off by Marvel Studios.
Max Brooks once told me that WWZ was an okay movie....not something he would make.😂
Clerks 3 was amazing and sad
Ready Player One was a good film. Maybe you have to be a certain age to love the nostalgia. You should watch Ben 10 or something.
Warcraft was a great movie, made with passion and love. Shame to see it on such an unpleasant list.
That movie while it looked good it’s plot and character acting sucked
I will say that Blue Beetle was one of the most comic book accurate movie made.
In what universe do people refuse to admit these movies suck?
Blind matrix fans really tried to act like resurrection wasn’t bad at least closer to the release
I enjoyed WWZ , ready player 1 and warcraft.....
I rewatched all of them in 2023 and still enjoyed it
Wish should be added to the list. Most people wouldn't think of it because they didn't watch it yet, but it did poorly at the box-office and even Disney fans said it was ok. But because it was an animated Disney film nobody wants to admit it was bad.
I think if you watch Blue Beetle like it’s a telenovela you’ll get more enjoyment from it.
The Star Wars New Hope remake from 2015 and the recent Prey Predator 5.
Hey, the fans wanted Luke, Leia and Han back.
They got their wish.
@@nicksterj I also want a million dollars handed to me by a bikini model, but we don't always get what we want.
Finally, the Quentin Tarantino essay I was waiting for.
I enjoyed Warcraft, and have watched it several times. Now that I'm reminded of it, I'm going to watch it again today (or maybe tomorrow, as I'm playing WoW with my sons tonight).
World War Z should not be on this list. Thought it was awesome, with many memorable scenes. And it exists in an unrated cut.
Lightyear merch is STILL moldering on shelves.
Clerks 3 was great.
It was sad, funny and a great ending to the series.
Especially since my younger cousin introduced me to the franchise, and he's gone now.
So for me, the movie was a little cathartic.
The Sopranos prequel was so terrible that people thougth it
was intentional/sabotage.
0:05 "A bit of a doo-dah". Actually took me a second to decrypt that word.
World War Z Never Sucked! It's A Great Movie.
I liked ready player one when i saw it, but ye everyone just forgot about it almost immediately. It just didnt have anything very memorable to be memed or referenced for years after. and kind of predicted the current trend of exploiting nostalgia to get people to love it.
The Matrix Resurrections?? That was a one movie series. I don't think anyone ever expected Lightyear to be good. World War Z was boring.
Wow, you hit this one out of the ball park! Agree with you on every one of these.
I thought World War Z was a pretty decent zombie movie. But in no way, shape or form was it an adaptation of Max Brook's World War Z. It's a really difficult book to adapt to movie form. However, I would have loved (and still hold out faint hope) for a well-written television series based on the novel. One episode per story - with maybe some stories like The Battle of Yonkers getting two-parts. In the right hands, a brilliant tv series could be created.
oh and Ali. I was so amazed at how boring a movie about one of America's most charismatic man alive was mind blowing.
Yeah but see, I had no issues calling most of these movies bad immediately upon release
So, Ready Player One "sucks" because... it's "soulless"? No concrete flaws to point out, just a blanket statement that he didn't like the story, and some memebabble about "Hollywood's worst instincts" and it being "barren"? There was nothing wrong with that story, despite whatever this "critique" was supposed to say. Was it an Oscars contender? Of course not. Most films aren't. Was it highly entertaining for its target audience? Absolutely.
Clerks 3 is based too much in reality for some people to realise the point, it has elements of wasted opportunity and regret and loss which doesn't make it an easy watch, but i feel like people going in expecting it to be a carbon copy of Clerks 1& 2 has angered them, sure there's some cringey dialogue, but the plot is solid, some critics have said the final act has the best acting and directing in a Kevin Smith movie
Ready Player One was exactly what the presenter said it was in his opening sentence. Maybe it is because I saw it in the cinema and dont feel like watching it again, but I have no issue with the movie. It did what it was seeming to be aiming for. Switch your brain off and enjoy it.
All of the most recent Star Wars movies, the N Night Shyamalan movie Glass and .... ANY Fast and Furious movie
I loved Clerks 3.
Bluebeetle, Warcraft , It chapter 2 , Ready Player One and World War Z were fun good movies .
All of the movies on this list, I have either never heard of them, or I've only ever heard that they suck.
It more like we are depressed the movies were so bad rather than an inability to admit to such.
I saw Clerks III for the first time recently. I liked it. My friend Brian starred in it.
If they wanted to make lightyear they could of just used the animated series with better animation and a longer script.... big loss that could of been great
Maestro should be on this list. One of the few movies I couldn’t even bother to sit through.
I am surprise the Phantom Menace was not on the list. The initial reviews were glowing with praise. It took some time before people admit the movie was empty of story.
Who needs story when you've got dual-throttle racing? Pod Racer's Revenge was so much fun, I love the way those vehicles were controlled.
Ready Player One doesn't deserve to be on this list, it wasn't for everyone, but my friends and I loved it.
Your friends and you suck balls
While I do like stuff that IT Chapter Two had, there were stuff that weren't done right. Especially stuff that were changed from the book.
- They were supposed to include Maturin (the turtle that created our universe and Pennywise's sibling) and that they would include the Losers being in the macro verse (where Pennywise originated from) but they cut it out when they started filming. They do mention Maturin when Mike experiences the hallucinations from the native Americans in which it's the name of their root. And they do have plenty of Maturin references throughout both movies like the turtle the Losers saw in the quarry's water, the LEGO Bill broke from Georgie's room, even the turtle statue in the classroom when Ben looks back on a memory. Maturin was used basically as a guide to help the Losers.
- They cut importance of Audra (Bill's wife) and Tom (Beverly's husband). Tom's role was cut short in the 1990 miniseries too, but Audra's short being cut short was worse. The reason why they did so was because Audra's actress ended up pregnant and couldn't film anymore. I don't understand why they didn't just get a different actress, unless they thought the woman was just too perfect or didn't want to spend more money to get someone else or they were too focused on their scheduling to film everything. But in the book, Tom decides to go to Derry to kill Beverly and the other Loseres. Audra goes to Derry to help Bill because she knows he's in trouble. Pennywise makes Tom kidnap Audra to use her as bait for Bill to go to the sewer. While Audra becomes catatonic upon staring at the Deadlights, Tom drops dead upon being frightened from the sight. Thus, Pennywise eats Tom. I wish we got to see Tom die because he deserved it for how abusive he was to Beverly. Plus, the movie could've done something creative in which Tom fights the other Losers like Bill and Ben. Mostly Ben.
- While having Pennywise turn into a zombie of Patrick to break Henry out of the mental hospital, I wish we got to see Vic and Belch (other than the one flashback we get to see them). In a deleted scene of the first movie, it reveals that Henry killed them and they're dead in his car. However, in the book, Pennywise took on the form of Frankenstein and not only decapitated Vic, but bit the side of Belch's face off, causing Henry to run out of the sewer. When Pennywise turns into Vic and Belch in front of adult Henry in which he apologizes for running away.
- They ruined the importance of Bill's bike Silver. Yes, Bill rides on it which helps him feel like a kid again and relive precious memories. However, it's used in the book to help save his wife Audra which was also used in the miniseries. Bill uses it to help wake Audra up from her catatonic state. It made it a beautiful ending for the miniseries in which they kiss in the middle of the street. I was excited to see it on the big screen for this film, but was disappointed on how that wasn't used.
- The climax of the film is incredibly different. They make it longer than it needed to be with having Eddie and Richie decide what door to pick, Beverly and Ben trapped in separate areas, and Bill remembering he faked his sickness so he wouldn't play with Georgie. And they make Pennywise shrink by saying how he's a clown. I get the direction they were going for that, but it just felt kinda stupid. The way it's described in the book with Bill punching Pennywise's stomach open to get the heart out and crush it was more impactful, which is what the miniseries kinda did. Except in the miniseries and this film, they had all the Losers crush it with Bill. I will say that I was glad to see Mike join the fight since in the book and miniseries, he was left in the hospital after being attacked by Henry. But the clown/spider form was ridiculous. And while the miniseries' spider looks a bit silly, it's a way better form to be more close to the source material. Even though I'm afraid of spiders, I would have wanted to see what the book described as Pennywise in the book: a giant black spider with red eyes. Even having the flood happen as a result of Pennywise's death.
- Killing off Dean (the boy that Bill tried to save) was disappointing. In the book, we don't know his name, but Bill does still show concern for him. They made the kid a bigger deal in this movie than he was in the book. And he didn't die in the book. Instead, when a flood happens after Pennywise dies, Bill sees the boy in a raincoat chasing a paper boat down the street just like Georgie did. Bill assured the kid that everything would be okay now.
- They didn't include Bill's stuttering phrase. In the first movie when Bill was on his way home from school, when he was walking up the Neibolt house, and before Pennywise disappeared at the end, Bill had this phrase: "He thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts". His mom gave him that to help with his stutter. When Georgie died, his stuttering got worse. So Bill says the phrase to Pennywise to show he's not afraid and it actually hurts IT. Bill was supposed to say it again 27 years later when Pennywise poses as George in which Bill would say "You are no ghost".
I will say that the main thing that I was okay with the movie changing from the book was the Losers keeping their memories. In the book and miniseries, they started to forget everything again after killing Pennywise. However, Stephen King teased in his other books that Pennywise might still be alive and that's probably why they forgot. But I'm glad they get to remember in this version. Even with painful memories, it's important to remember these things because it shapes us who we are. Plus, Bill won't have to forget about Georgie again. In the book, Bill tells Audra that even though he's mentioned Georgie to her, he was only repeating a fact and with that, he actually hadn't thought about Georgie since he was a kid. So having Bill ultimately forget about Georgie in the movie and miniseries makes it depressing.
I also wish they did better with Bill's character. Bill's supposed to be the leader of the Losers Club. For Chapter Two, they made it almost like Mike was more of the main character. I mean, sure, he's was the only one who stayed and with that, he remembers everything. But Bill's leadership wasn't really there anymore in this sequel. Like when Mike and Beverly decided to make Pennywise think he's small. Bill was confused how they could do that.
I'm a big IT fan and I will say that this sequel was not perfect. Sure, it does adapt things from the book that the miniseries didn't do and it made some interesting changes. And I was glad to see this on the big screen. But they set up so much stuff from the first movie and abandoned those aspects in Chapter Two. If another adaptation ever happens, I hope they can learn from Chapter Two's mistakes.
Matrix is a classic example of should have stopped at the first one!
Ready Player One was a great film.
I’m glad you liked it.
I sure as hell didn’t 👎🏾
Yeah, I just think WhatCulture doesn't actually like movies. Most of these movies are fun watches if you aren't gonna nitpick the hell out of them. The only movie I'll actually agree with on this is is World War Z. That movie was garbage and should have just had a generic zombie movie name.
I love every single Kevin Smith movie, including Clerks 3.
0:42 I am not surprised that Matrix Resurrections was in here? It underperformed and Warner Brothers face multiple lawsuits from the author and original actors for thier bad portrayal of it and in fact, they are facing further multiple class lawsuits and fines for the way it is made. They are facing court starting March 1th 2024 and expected to finish in 2030. Whatever is going on here, it is huge.
I totally forgot they even made a Warcraft movie. Lol
The only praise we heard for any of these had nothing to do with the movie itself.
These were all praised for nostalgia, cgi, taking an IP in a new direction, or hitting DEI targets. I dont remember a single mention of the movies actually being called good
Most of these are universally recognized as being terrible. Have the guts to put Barbie on the list. It’s a cult movie at best. Can’t wait for the complaints about how many Oscars it gets snubbed for. Probably deserves about a 6 out of 10 just because of some of the costuming and social commentary elements. Years from now when the hype wears out, critics will revisit that script and not be afraid to admit how some of those scenes and dialog were just not very good.
Yeah how did they mess up it chapter 2 so bad the first one was such a good reimagining of the story
Avatar, Starship Troopers, Free Guy, Barbarian, Hereditary, It Comes At Night....
I loved clerks 3 ❤
What about the opposite idea. What movie do critics not want to admit to liking? I'll go first: John Carter of Mars.
A film I have watched twice and fully enjoyed each time. I do watch it in 3D so that's one reason.
Just to counterpoint the Clerks III hate - Jersey Girl and Cop Out. The former having some serious heart and the latter just being fun and dry and thus great for Brits.
I think most people would actually say the majority of the films on this list did actually suck. But no way are Warcraft, Ready Player One and WWZ bad movies.
But they literally all were complete fauilers. ESPECIALLY Warcraft and ready player 1 those did so bad it nealry bankrupted their respected studios. Just because you think they’re good does not mean they were successful in any regard.
Also WWZ was so bad that the author hated and sued the studio and bought the rights to the IP so it could never be made that bad again
Haven't seen WWZ, but I agree about Warcraft and Ready Player One - though Warcraft didn't live up to its potential, it was still not bad.
"Ready Player One" was a much better book than movie. Still, it had major plot holes. For starters: hard core gamers wouldn't try to go off-track (backwards) in a car racing game for a full year?
