The Awesome Concept of Bad Movies

Bells · 02-05-2011, 07:14 PM

Ladies and Gentlemen, i would like to give you this...

The Warriors Way

I am Number Four

Cowboys and Aliens

See... now, just on Concept the ideas are awesome; Over the top, laughable fun movies to watch. Great. Cool. Nice! I love when people try to create new products instead of just licensing cool stuff.

But the execution is so usually very very bad...

See the Warriors Way... you have Cowboys, Ninjas, Fallout/Borderlands-esque desert scenario... how can you screw THAT up?

You see, it messes with my head that people keep having this awesome concepts that never flourish into good things, while a movie like Twilight gets worldwide accolades...

So, this is a thread to talk about Awesome concepts in bad movies or Awesome movies with bad concepts! Have at it!

Wait, so, we're just assuming Cowboys and Aliens is going to be a bad movie?

Well... yeah. I mean, i would pay good cash upfront to watch this movie... but, yeah. I would be surprised if it was a good movie in the end.

A movie must pay for itself. Hollywood still is about making money, so, the Twilight series has enough of an audience to actually sell a series of movies... this baffles me. Critically the movies suck on a average scale... and i'm not sure if the box office for each isntallment is holding up or dropping, but still...

the passing of Leslie Nielsen probably killed that Naked Gun 4 that was in the works a few years back. And now after Rocky Balboa, Die hard and Rambo the only other gritty reboot i'm looking for is Robocop (surely taking it's freaking time.......) and maybe a Thundercats movie in the future.... my point is, we have soooo much better bad movies based of real brands out there, i wish people were to explore a little more when creating stuff brand new .

For god's sake give me a World War II epic with Zombies and i'll watch that!

Thats more to taste. Sure the kind of people that love twilight are much happier with it then a bad action movie.

Pretty sure even the media sees it as just a horrible movie.

I usually steer clear of movies simply because I'm paying way too much to accidentally see a bad movie.

Machete was pretty over the top but over all it was still a damn awesome movie. Worth the $30+ my uncle spent to take me and my grandmother to see it.

I greatly enjoyed Hot Tub Time Machine, though! It was quite funny, and I would say that it was good value for my money.

I dunno, really I can't count any movie where I get my cash worth of entertainment from it a bad movie, even if it wasn't a super great movie. Twilight, to me, is what I would call a bad movie. Bubba Ho-Tep was not.

Some friends and I went to Hot Tub Time Machine when it opened, expecting to laugh at how horrible it was, but it turned out to be absolutely hilarious.

That was a good bad movie.
