Broke: Wahhhh everyone hates the movie I liked. They are all wrong and stupid.
Woke: Yeah that movie was crap. I loved it!
People need to accept that a film can be entertaining without actually being good.
Street Fighter is my go to for this. It's objectively awful. Half the cast can't act for shit. The plot of a 2D arcade fighting game was never going to stand up to a cinema audience trapped with it for an hour and a half. But then Raul Julia shows up and old-school chews the scenery. He knows it's shit too, but by fuck he's going to make you enjoy it.
Why I enjoyed all Resident Evil films and Doom. Bad, but I don't care. It was fun for some reason and that's good enough for me.
I'm convinced if you don't love the sonic movies, you missed the whole point.
You can't make a good sonic film. It's a stupid concept with no nuance or reality, and has a plot of bad guy hates fast animal.
So someone made the movies so absurdly stupid that they're good again. I've been playing sonic since I was 3, from the original until now. The only thing I wanted from a sonic movie was unrelated product placement, ham fisted sensitive scenes, Jim Carrey doing whatever he fucking feels like, and forced olive garden.
The first movie legit gets one more star for every olive garden ad. Then the second cast fucking Idris Elba as knuckles and had a character referred to as the olive garden guy.
Absolute genius. It could never be great, so go for absurdism.
I did enjoy it, ngl.
But I swear they did the teeth thing for the free marketing. There's no way they intended to put it out like that. Pure nightmare fuel.
I kind of wish they went with the original shitty design. It would have helped my cause.
I love shoot em up, it's so bad, same style as kund fury. It's gold.
That's awful, stop liking it.
I'm very discerning with media in general, and it has to be worth my time if I'm going to watch it. I love movies you discover more in on every rewatch, and can get in to solid discussions about character motives or possible themes. But you have to know what you're getting into. Some movies are definitely just bad and not worth watching, but others have a goal and meet it.
I've had superhero fatigue since about 2005, but that being said, a friend wanted to watch Venom with me a few weeks ago. It's not a good movie, but I wasn't not entertained.
