Down voted because you dissed Blue Thunder.

[@NoMansSkyResources]

I Am Number Four, Smokin' Aces, Amazing Spider-Man 2 & Attack Of The Clones are all very entertaining movies throughout. All of which I've watched multiple times. Not at all close to terrible. This is one of your worst lists.

[@PhoenixJusticeCom]

I agree. These 4 films (and I would include Blue Thunder) were fun, entertaining movies.

[@wesleysteeleiv]

I LOVE Smokin Aces.

[@elizabethhuber434]

Agreed!! I will hear no slander about Smokin Aces.

[@cedricbrookins4851]

This list was terrible until the end.😂

[@PvtGermanWagz]

You guys LITERALLY put Civil War in the top 20 movies of the year like 3 days ago. 😂😂😂😂

[@shainewhite2781]

BLUE THUNDER is awesome. Its not a terrible movie, in fact, most of the actors did their own flying stunts in the movie.

This was legendary producer Ray Stark's biggest hit after the success of The Competition, The Toy and Annie under his former banner, Rastar. Rastar is now becoming as an in-name-only unit of Halcyon Studios LLC since 1986.

[@twankistevenson3884]

yeah it's a great movie

[@theell9014]

What???? "Civil War" is not a "terrible movie"!! As long as the viewer gets the fact that it is about photo-journalists working in the midst of the war, then you can enjoy it. But if the viewer is expecting full out battles, carnage, etc. throughout, then hey, they missed the point of the movie.

[@zooropa04]

For all its (many) faults, Star Trek V does at least feel the most in touch with the spirit of the original TV series than any of the other movies.

[@clocutron]

I Am Number Four is under-appreciated. And Doom is a guilty pleasure - not a good film but I still love it.

[@hankhandsome]

Ok, the first two offerings are Blue Thunder and Civil War ?????. Who at WhatCulture towers decided these were "terrible movies" as they clearly have no bloody idea !!

[@Nathan.007]

You guys literally put Civil War in your video "best movies of 2024.. so far. " You now have it in a terrible movie list 3 days later. I guess you just make content for content sake.

[@andrewg7576]

This is entertainment, not journalism.

[@rorylynch7775]

​​@@andrewg7576Yeah but it should be consistent entertainment. Having two different lists for good and bad movies where you have the same film on both just shows you they care more about churning out a high quantity of videos than making the individual videos themselves be a good quality

how dare you to define Civil War terrible? ok it's not a masterpiece,maybe a bit disappointing but it's a solid movie.

[@debbiesroommate]

😂

[@themantyf1116]

The climax of Amazing Spider-Man 2 actually annoyed a great number of fans, because Gwen's death is not lifted faithfully from the comics. Specifically, in the comics Peter actually catches her before she hits the ground, but not in time to save her, and with a snap that implies a dark twist later comics would confirm: the whiplash from the net broke Gwen's neck, being the direct cause of death. While obviously the Green Goblin is still the actual responsible and killer, it's a detail that add some weights on Peter's shoulders and a complexity that fans liked about the scene, something that the movie removes completely, and felt like it watered the whole scene down.

[@TheIronMarshall]

You literally just described exactly what happened in the movie. Should it have had a Mortal Kombat X-ray effect to be more "faithful"? Maybe a "FATALITY" Sound effect too 😂

[@themantyf1116]

@@TheIronMarshall you missed my point so wildly that I frankly don't even understand what you think I am saying, so I will just give a shorter version of my previous comment. In the comics, Peter catches and snaps her neck, in the movie Peter misses and is the fall that kills Gwen. The change takes away Peter's role in the death, taking away emotional weight and conflict from the scene, turning it into any other fridging.

[@stifflered]

@@themantyf1116 That is not fully what happens in the movie. He catches her and her neck snaps back, hitting the ground. He didn't miss catching her, he was just too late

[@l00k4tstuff]

@@themantyf1116 In the comic he webs her (snags her feet) to catch her, which causes the whiplash which break her neck. In the movie he catches her wrong which does it. The cloud that hangs over him is even though he has these powers he still can't save everyone - even though he tortured himself that if he had acted he could have saved his Uncle Ben. This made the scene in Spider Man: No Way Home where this actor's Spider-Man saved MJ all the more poignant (notice the detail where he's cradling her head).

[@themantyf1116]

@@l00k4tstuff the point is that in the comics it wasn't simply that he couldn't save everyone, but that he was technically the cause of death. He HAD made it in time, but done it wrong. Which is a heavier burden to bear. Reducing him not to make it in time waters it down, particularly since it's a lesson he didn't need (he already knew he had limits with his failure to save both dr. Connor and Gwen's father).

[@shanojebs]

I Am Number Four is actually a decent movie throughout. Also not mentioning Kirk's line at the end of ST:V about why God needs a starship proves this wasn't written by a Star Trek fan

[@glarryg2318]

It took me years to get my kids to agree to watch the original Star Wars trilogy with me. They loved it, as I assumed they would, but afterwards I showed them the Yoda versus Dooku scene from "Attack of the Clones" and basically told them, "That's the best part of Episodes 1 and 2." They agreed that it would take a lot to top that.

[@gbonkers666]

BLUE THUNDER was a great f-ing movie....

[@Darbobski]

Civil war would have been just okay as a straight-to-streaming title, but it was not theater-worthy.

[@alm2187]

6:48 No, it'd be the helmsklingon who's behind the wheel. It's revealed that Spock is in the command chair, there.

[@zero.4520]

I like Doom, I still watch it In 2024.

[@kris242]

Controversial mention: The Mist. While the majority of the film is kinda fun, it for the most part, just falls into typical horror cliches and a fairly meandering story. That legendary ending though… legit that ending truly made the entire film worth it. So much so, that it even managed to bump the film as a whole into my own list of favorite horrors.

[@jules-yi8rn]

Whew.... there's more than a few good movies on this "terrible" list. I'd put The Strangers: Prey at Night on it, tho - the last 30 minutes were amazing compared to the first hour or so.

[@SkydrawnIV]

The TASM2 disrespect needs to end. That is my favourite Spiderman film.

[@TitularHeroine]

"...quickly outs himself as a man who can't direct" "....a plot so see-thru you can use it as tracing paper" 😂😂😂😂😂Daaaaammmn

[@bheast86]

I would argue against THE FINAL FRONTIER or ATTACK OF THE CLONES being so bad, especially in view of the Abrams Trek trilogy that doesn't get nearly enough flak compared to earlier films in the franchise. BLUE THUNDER is not a bad movie, especially compared to many action movies over the past forty years; there was nothing odd in its being about helicopter police (there are such things), and it is inherently critical of high-tech mayhem rather than celebrating it as if it were a video game enacted with people (as the TV series did). On minor points, it had an early appearance by of the British baddie trope (or British-accented, since Malcolm McDowell's character had fought in Vietnam), and strongly hinted, though focused on an American vet, that the Vietnam-American War was harder on Vietnamese than on Americans. That alone makes it superior to the majority of Hollywood takes on on the conflict. For a terrible movie with an upturn near the end, I can think of no better example than THE DEPARTED - admittedly, the impact of the elevator finale is lessened if you'd seen the original INFERNAL AFFAIRS, but at least it isn't botched like the rest. The actual ending added on by Scorsese and Loneghan isn't that hot, or even very surprising since the Dignam character had done pretty much nothing thus far, and the characters are only in the movie to kill someone or be killed. Also it leads into that pretentious juxtaposition of the rat with the capitol dome.

[@BryceEdwards-qk6px]

John Travolta in “Staying Alive” reminds me of a post-apocalyptic Solid Gold Dancer!

[@SIDEWAYS255]

The DOOM scene was well worth the whole movie.

[@gregoryjames174]

Arlington Road is not number one OR even on this list? The movie was boring as Hell and then THAT ending!?

[@danieljob3184]

Disagree. Arlington Road is only boring if you don't understand how terrorism works. It's not about what you believe, it's about what your enemy believes and every American believes he is the Hero! Even the villains.

[@gregoryjames174]

@@danieljob3184 Naw it was dumb. It was all hyped up to be another "Your neighbor is evil" rivalry thriller and it was just boring back and forth between them. An hour and a half of boredom with an unexpected pay off. I almost walked out after an hour but I already paid for it so I stayed. The ending was phenomenal!

[@jamesshulkind5077]

I cannot fathom how Tusk (2014) is not number one. It was based on a somewhat sporadic conversation with Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier on their SModcast., They were getting really into the idiocy of the story and were joking around about making a movie about this stupid story, so they posted a poll. And now Tusk is a movie that exists. Somewhere during the credits, or maybe at the end, you get to hear the clip from the podcast. The movie is not worth watching without that. It's just a literal "you asked for it." It was ludicrous. the movie was moronic, because it was supposed to be moronic. The credits even puts on full display the names of everyone who responded TUSKYES (as opposed to TUSKNO).

[@twankistevenson3884]

Sorry but I thought Blue Thunder was an all too believable conspiracy thriller and it had me hooked in from about 20 minutes in. Well realized characters who weren't cardboard cut outs and a lot of genuinely funny moments. The action at the end was solid but I was plenty engaged before that.

[@RAWnoSmackDown]

In 2010 I was 13 And Thought Smoking Aces Was the best Movie since blade when it came out And even thought it didn’t have a large Budget Smokin aces 2 Was also A great movie with some returning characters

[@kdsentertainment568]

"Civil War" is far from a terrible movie and Jessie wasn't annoying at all. I don't get what the general public has against "flawed" characters, considering that most real people are far from perfect themselves.

[@patriksvensson2360]

1. I really, _really_ want Andrew Garfield to be given the shot for a third Amazing Spider-Man movie. He is a great actor, those movies weren't that bad, and I'd love to see him expand on what we've learned since his appearance in No Way Home. I firmly believe it could be an absolute marvel of a movie. 2. Doom should be given a remake, either as a movie or, like, an 8 episode series, or something. Relatively short but long enough to capture the essence of what it's supposed to be, telling the story it's supposed to tell. As long as the project is given to someone/s that don't have a personal point to prove and shamelessly adding to and changing the script just to make themselves stand out - as we saw in The Witcher and Game of Thrones.

Did anyone at WC actually watch Blue Thunder? That movie was a masterpiece. Besides the dogfigting, the character interaction was perfect, with unforgettable chemistry between scheider and macdowell, Daniel stern and warren oates, and a great 1980s electronic score by Arthur Rubinstein, who also scored WarGames.

For me; nice, fresh perspective on Star Trek V! 😎⭐ I've always said the root of its problems are also its redeemer at times. Pretty clear they saw how the levity of IV was well-received by fans so the filmmakers went for more of that. They succeeded in spots. The campfire scene has always been great for a laugh. 😁 But, if called upon to list off positives about V, I'd have been one to forget the high-action climax. It is pretty cool how Kirk faces down the Bird of Prey. Thanks for this little eye-opener, WC! 🙂
