Movies You Wish Were Gone.

I want to agree that "if we erase the bad movies, we'd have nothing to learn from in order to make good ones" but at the same time, if that were really true, we'd see less tripe coming out each year. As far as studios go, they're going to make whatever type of movie they want, when they want to. They'll make the Movie Gold at times (see: The Social Network) and then they'll make their cashcow tripe to fill in the blanks (see: The Twilight Series).
To pick a movie I could have done without watching however, is Avatar. For one, it's title forced the actual Avatar movie to be called something else (not that that movie was worth it either, but it's the principle of the thing), but as I was watching it, all I could think was that I was watching Pocahontas. And not even in the "man-realizes-that-nature-should-be-preserved-and-the-natives-were-right-all-along" type way. Not only could that special tree in Avatar, Eywa, be considered as Grandmother Willow's silent reincarnation, but there's a Navi character who IS Kocuom from Pocahontas -- from his storyline down to his hairstyle. Add on all the screaming fanboys and fangirls who called it the greatest movie of the year (did they not see Up or Watchmen? I mean, The Hangover came out that year as well!) and the product was one over-hyped film that gave an underwhelming experience.

What? How...Haseo21 said:
Okay, clearly you just don't "get it". The thing about Christopher Walken is that he defies the conventions of what should be considered "good acting". He is such a bad actor that he somehow becomes good again. He either looks directly at his cue cards and reads off of them, or says "screw the script" and just wings it. He has never turned down a role, and is one of the most captivating, awkward human beings who ever existed.
If the world were deprived of someone as strange and wonderful as Christopher Walken: food would not taste as good, colors would not be as bright, and music would not sound as clear.
In closing, the world cannot do without the oddities that are every role that Christopher Walken has played. Please enjoy this clip of Christopher Walken dancing.
I do not really get the hate for this movie. Considering the way Star Trek movies go this is defiantly one of the better ones.Azaradel said:
Out of all the Star Trek movies there are only 4 that are not absolute garbage.
The Wrath of Khan
Search for Spock
Voyage Home
And the new one.
If you think that this really is the worst one I would like to point your attention to
First Contact
Generations
Nemesis
These are the most abhorrent movies I have ever seen.
All of the modern "spoof" movies such as Epic Movie,Date Movie,Superhero Movie etc.Cramming as many pop culture references as possible into 90 mins is not comedy
I'd delete the Matrix sequels and Wolverine: Origins. I'm a huge Deadpool fan, and Gambit is my favorite mutant. 'Nuff said. My friends and I had to come back from the movie, put all of our Deadpool comics in a big pile in between us, and attempt to purge our minds of that abomination.
I'd love to delete the Twilight movies, but the books would still exist. If I could get rid of both, I'd be happy.

You fuck, how dare you delete Milagro: The Beanfield War!!!!! You're on the list!Haseo21 said:
OT: I actually wouldn't delete any movie from existence, because aside from potential cracks in the space-time continuum and the destruction of the universe and all that, we wouldn't have anything to complain about if we wouldn't have shit movies.
Also, I would have missed out on some of the funniest movie reviews ever.
Because it has great writing?Mr.Squishy said:
A solid plot?
Marvelous pacing?
Long and complex scenes done amazingly in a single shot?
Awesome camera job?
Not my favorite by any means, but CK is a marvel of filming and production.
Scary Movie would be my choice to remove. Cut off the head and the body will die. That will save us from having to suffer through countless sequels and other equally-bad movies built around the same concept.
The worst Star Trek film is V: The Final Frontier, that's one of the worst movies ever created. Also, I think TMP was one of the better ones. Sure, it was long, but it was enjoyable and thought provoking.pubbing said:
One more thing, why do people hate on Nemesis so much? It's better than most films out there. Good action scenes and some genuinely interesting character development.
Nothing can justify deleting Milagro! If you don't believe me, watch the movie, then you shall understand.Haseo21 said:
