Empire Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) JP and TLW are great films so it's awful that JW's going to revive a dead franchise just to do an even shittier job then what JP3 did.You can't say it is shitty until it comes out and you watch it. Just give it a chance. Edited May 19, 2014 by Empire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Were those sequels? Or directed by one of the worst indie directors? Or written by a terrible screen-writer? lol I can promise you that Safety Not Guaranteed is not even close to the worst indie, not even close to the worst of its year. Just standard hipstery fare, really 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulder Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Safety Not Guaranteed is a great little film. It's so painfully average it hurts. Doesn't help that if the script wasn't filled with plot holes and dropped character arcs that it'd be somewhat good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJackSparrow Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 So you godawful, rude, cold hearted Godzilla haters, who would you rather leave for the sequel, Gareth Edwards, Max Borenstein, or Aaron Johnson? You can only choose up to two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Based on early buzz, I hear APOCALYPSE NOW might be the worst movie ever made, followed closely by TITANIC.Speaking of Apocalypse Now, I'm watching this documentary on John Milius, interesting guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Based on early buzz, I hear APOCALYPSE NOW might be the worst movie ever made, followed closely by TITANIC. Don't forget about JAWS. They didn't have a working shark, a completed script, it went over budget, they hated the director, they had a lead actor wanted for tax evasion and another who publicly badmouthed the picture a week before its release. JAWS is one of the worst films of all time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulder Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yeah because these are all totally sequels being made in a relatively money-hungry Hollywood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulder Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Wait. Hollywood makes movies to make money? There were more passion projects before the 90s and 2000s because there weren't as many franchises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulder Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 JW is the exact opposite of JAWS, Apocalypse NOW!, and Titanic. More comparable to X-Men: TLS and Iron Man 3 and I have a feeling it'll be worse then both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure which of the screenwriters you consider so terrible... 1. Sequels are rarely as good as the original especially when it's a FOURTH film in a franchise. 2. SNG is utterly average because of a terrible script. If the actors weren't as good as they are it'd be a terrible film 3. David Connolly who was basically the main problem of SNG.

Mulder Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yeah, if only there weren't so many franchises. Like Godzilla There's nothing wrong with franchises, but comparing the Hollywood of today to when JAWS was made is just not a good comparison.

CaptainJackSparrow Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Wait Mulder did you not like Rise of the Planet of the Apes? (Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver wrote it also, and I believe they changed up the script for Jurassic World that was bad, so I have high hopes again, although not sure about the director.

I'm watching a pretty bad horror movie right now so I don't have time to look it up but I'd be willing to be that you are wrong about this.
