Holy crap, I don't know how he managed to put up with that film let alone sort of like it. It's a shallow, poorly scripted, lazy, and downright mean-spirited mess of an overlong movie. At least when he tepidly recommended Pain and Gain, it came off as an interesting failure. Well no one can accuse him of being Bay-hater anymore.Cyberstrike said:In case you don't know Bob actually liked Transformers 4 even saying it was the second best TF film following after the 1986 animated movie.
Probably because it's his job to watch them.piscian said:Why Bob bothered to watch them is beyond me.
Prince of Egypt. If you (somehow) haven't seen it, it is probably one of the best animated movies ever made too, with great music.scw55 said:I'm hoping for a good Christian movie or movie based from Biblical narratives that is actually good.
I'm tired to evading giving reasons to my sister why I want to not watch certain films because I lack the heart to tell her "It looks awful and terrible". I respect her opinions on certain films and I don't want to influence her perception of them if she sincerely chooses to watch them. I'm just tired of finding an honest way to explain "PLEASE DON'T FORCE ME TO WATCH IT" without being a dick.
I'm confident it is possible to do good Christian movies. I suppose the lack of funding could be an issue since there seems to be a "that's lame" stigma attached to the idea of faith.
We live in hope. It's most likely also quite a mega irony to benefit financially from Religion.
Curious to which movie you are objecting to being in his Top Ten Worst. My guess would be American Sniper. Is it? Now I am hoping that it is American Sniper because, if it's not, that means it's likely is God is Dead. By the way, you might confusing the social justice warrior with his liberalism or maybe they are the same in your mind. Oh god, is the movie I, Origins?Mandalore_15 said:So it looks that - to at least some extent - Bob's SJW tendencies are starting to invade his critical faculties, i.e. his ability to do his job. Looks like I'm going to have to look elsewhere for my film reviews. AGAIN.
You might be right about "most" of the hate but to be honest Robocop reboot IS a worse film's. Not as creative, not as memorable, a visual blur bore, heavy handed politics a 12 year old would think is insightful. The characters aren't all that inspiring either. Total Recall did the same things, that movie sucksarc1991 said:I think most of the hate directed at these 2 is nostalgia driven. People who grew up with these films and never wanted a reboot/new live action film for a film they loved years ago.
One of the best theological movies ever made.LagomorphX said:Prince of Egypt.

I would've said that if not for last year's list where he put Man of Steel at number. He's admitted that on balance it isn't a terrible film. He thinks its a bad Superman movie but not an outright piece of garbage. However it was the biggest let down of the year for him. As lists are personal things a big let down can outweigh a worse film. Especially if it something near and dear to you.....also he's never titled a review "The Movie that broke Moviebob" before so that could've been a dead give away.Mikeyfell said:I predicted God's Not Dead to be number 1. It was leagues worse than Amazing Spider Man 2, but admittedly I'm not one of the guys who's life will be completed by Spiderman finally getting into the Avengers.
