The fact that a Winnie the Pooh horror movie came out and it made money convinces me that being a director is one of the easiest jobs one can have

[@wexfordrob]

How did that movie make money. Absolute rubbish

[@RobertParks-h7r]

​@@wexfordrobIT was shit,but cost nothing ,about 300k,made over a mill I believe

[@RobertParks-h7r]

Meg 2 ,to long and no blood after a 100 people or more are devoured by sharks,Octopus and other creatures.BS!

[@wexfordrob]

@@RobertParks-h7r that’s crazy. How did they even come up with that money. There’s hundreds of shit horror films made every year. Why did this shit one make money?! It’s just as bad as the rest!😂

[@dedikpurwanto9842]

​@@wexfordrob This movie budget are under 100 K. They dont have budget for marketing, because "Winnie The Pooh" name who become free IP marketing himself. And worldwide gross are whopping 5,2 M. And...they getting ready to make the sequel. And we are not.😅

@@sproductionsinc How is the story lazy tho, 80% of the people said there's even too much going on. There's no movie ever, that satisfied everyone who watched it. Never was never will be.

[@matthewkuchinski1769]

The only Netflix movie that I can think of that was really good was "Kingdom: Ashin of the North." The film is a prequel to the hit series "Kingdom," which I argue is the show that "The Walking Dead" and "Game of Thrones" should have been after their four good seasons. It explores themes of power, greed, betrayal, and trauma, with an intelligent underlying message about how the path of revenge is a truly destructive one.

[@FritzTheCat_1030]

Meg 2 was a co-production with a Chinese studio and there were parts where the dialog was so bad that I honestly wonder if it was originally written in Chinese and simply translated with Google translate.

[@JohnJuddMusicStudio]

Spot on assessment of Avatar 2, Adam. Boredom, thy name is Avatar 2. I was honestly surprised that you didn’t like Leave The World Behind. They should have picked someone other than Julia Roberts for that role, as it was an odd fit.

I am glad I am not the only one who despite Avatar 2. Yes, the visual was nice but it was 400 millions product. Like most Hollywood movies these days, all the money seems to spend on spectacle and not a script. Btw, the protagonist may be a hero but he was terrible parent, his children were doing what ever hell they wanted

[@jamesc6363]

"Antman and the wasp, Quantum Shittia". 😅

[@jasonmcmurtry7812]

I hated Avatar 2 as well Adam, long boring and stupid, f**k that film. The Meg 2 felt like 3 movies put together that shouldn't have been. Leave The World Behind tried to tell something and yet explored jack shit!!!

[@rshveyda]

Does Hollywood just refuse to write good scripts or are they giving us viewers the vapid eye candy we ask for?

[@matthewdekker6064]

I never saw the original Avatar, and I felt so weird about Avatar 2 because I was totally blown away by the visuals, but then totally bored with and disappointed in the story. I both love and hate it. Wouldn't want to watch it again, but I still feel like I'd recommend it just so people can experience the visuals (or if they've already seen the first one, maybe that's not really necessary).

[@Jamyes9909]

That's exactly how I feel! It was visually the best movie I've EVER seen in theaters ( I saw it in IMAX 3D ), but I barely remember the plot, and I may never watch it again.

[@jegjrtp87]

Why would you not watch the first movie first. Totally don't get that.

[@matthewdekker6064]

@@jegjrtp87 With Avatar, I would need to go back and watch it in 3D in a theatre, and that would've been difficult to do. But I also had no desire after hearing about its great visuals and terrible story. So I knew what to expect going into Avatar 2, and still think the visuals are great. But nothing else is great about it.

Eh for a Netflix movie, Rebel Moon wasn’t that bad. Sure the plot made little sense, sure the visuals were whatever, sure there was no character development, but it gets a bit of a pass bc at least it’s not a $500billion bloated nightmare ending with a blue laser shooting into the sky, and you don’t have to pay $500 per ticket & sit in a greasy theater to see it. At least it’s kind of different 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@timreeves8937]

I really think Avatar trailers must hypnotize people or something. I have no idea how so many people went to see this when it is terrible. The first one was derivitive and bad too, but at least you could maybe say the effects were so ahead of its time and amazing people did not care? But how that translates to watching a sequel a decade late is beyond me.

[@88detour]

I didn't think The Meg 2 was trash like a lot of the critics were saying. It is a bad film, but I got some thrills out of it. I kind of liked the espionage part of the story. The Meg 2 could have given us a little blood and gore and still retained it's PG-13 rating.

[@bobhale7302]

“We want you to grow crops and then we’re gonna come back and take them”. I’m sure that’s one of the old Magnificent Seven films.

Didn't like avatar 2 but i remember sully left so they don't die in collateral when the humans come for him. Not saying it makes sense or not.

[@AdamDoesMovies]

It made no sense though. The humans didn't know he left and that certainly wouldn't deter them from wiping out the tribe. They wanted them all dead.

[@arya-x7x]

@@AdamDoesMovies you're right. Apparently the villain forgave them for killing his men. Writers could've made that work about why would he forgive them. Give him more depth. Maybe because he can connect to them being in a navi body himself, maybe because he has a son now and doesn't wanna kill kids or make them orphans. I don't fucking know. Something.

What is shocking to me about "Leave the world behind" is it's writen AND directed by the same guy that made mr.robot one of, if not the best TV show I've ever scene that ALSO has a lot of messages but with an incredible story and characters.

I understand the flaws of Avatar 2 and the franchise but I actually liked that movie a lot. I know it is mostly a tech demo but it sucked me in. Again I know the story isn't strong and was a re hash of the first one down to literally the final shot. I just can't help but enjoy that world and characters. Maybe I'm easily entertained but yeah i liked Avatar 2 quite a bit.

I agreed with most of these and still will ride with Antman. But Adam got me twice. When he mentioned Heart of stone, I didn't know what that was at first and then remembered it was the Gal Gadot movie. in was going to disagree them I thought to myself: If it was good you would have remembered. And I had to shut up. Adam was right. I just like Gal. And I was going to say I like Rebel Moon.... then I realized I never finished it. Kinda says or all. With the exception of Antman, I agree wholeheartedly. Come on man. MODOK was in the movie! Doesn't that get any credit?

[@matthewkuchinski1769]

Back in 1917, artistic genius Marcel Duchamp had presented to the world his masterpiece "Fountain," a sculpture that was made from bedpans shaped into a fountain. His idea was to create a symbolic representation of the industrialization of art, how many artistic works were being stripped of their very soul with the use of mass production. If he were alive today, to see the movies from Disney now, he would most likely say "Je te l'avais dit!"

[@jeannajanowick1887]

Wish - Fast X (Or Burning Buritos on Wheels) - The Flash - Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania - Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse - Chang Can Dunk - Elemental - Haunted Mansion - Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom - White Men can't jump remake - Blue Beetle - Shazam! Fury of the Gods - The Expendables 4 (truly a shamefull movie that went against what its idea was all about) - The Exorcist: Believer - Leave the World Behind - Spy Kids: Armageddon - You People - Coming To America 2 And with 2024 having the upcoming movie "Civil War" smelling badly miles away...I'm not that optimistic about 2024 big movies, but I'm glad if I'm wrong.

[@bobross1829]

My worst movies, that I was so disappointed in I turned off: 1. Indiana Jones- even the beginning looked fake. I hate de-aging. It all looks like a cartoon. The whole cool thing about Indiana Jones is locales and fistfights and adventure like it is a 1940's movie. Just like the last one, this looked like a CGI fest. Re-cast the part if you insist on continuing this franchise. Ford is 80 years old for cripes sake. 2. Ant Man- everything wrong with post Endgame Marvel. CGI spew that looked fake and the cast looked like they were on a tiny soundstage, practically running in place in front of green screens. Scott's daughter was an annoying Mary Sue and Kang was just not a good villain. He looked like the secretary for the real villain. And he was defeated by Scott in a fist fight..the most comedic superhero they have. And then ants..lol. Real intimidating there. 3. Heart of Stone- Worst "twist" ever. About a half hour in they do a "twist" that is just sooo dumb it ruins the movie. Makes so little sense on so many levels it really just is head shaking. This movie also makes the cardinal sin of demanding you care what happens to some sci fi impossible mcguffin. The McGuffin is just supposed to be a thing you hang the real story around, where it is about the journey or cool characters. No one cares about some "heart" AI thingy, but this film became all about that after the twist. 4. Rebel Moon- Just dumb, Mary sue lead who somehow throws around trained guy soldiers with a 100 pounds on her (she hilariously looks about 120 pounds soaking wet) and was a 100% rip off of like five different movies. Especially Magnificent Seven.
