What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?

And then?
No and then.

Should he need to? He's an actor. He can pretend to know what he is doing.
wrote last edited by [email protected]No, of course not. But it's funny how he openly admits to his ignorance. He still gives a great performance and was obviously very well liked by the rest of the cast.

Johnny Depp fucking carries that franchise.
He nailed Jack sparrow so damn hard I can't picture anyone else in that role. It sets the pace of the movie too.
He not only nailed it so hard no one else can play the role, he nailed it so hard he became synonymous with the role.

I remember people thinking he was crazy when he first stepped into the role and was swaying and shit.
The balls it took to fully immerse yourself like that. Paid off in spades.

ink. looks cheap and weird but has a huge heart and vision.

Ghosts of Mars by John Carpenter
Set on a colonized Mars in the 22nd century, the film follows a squad of police officers and a convicted criminal who fight against the residents of a mining colony who have been possessed by the ghosts of the planet's original inhabitants.
Ghosts of Mars received mostly negative reviews and was a box office bomb, earning $14 million against a $28 million production budget.
Ghosts of Mars has received a cult following since its release, with critics praising the action sequences, soundtrack and blending of genres.
I dunno, I think that movie is as bad as it looks

It's quite a bad movie, but it did inspire the creation of my podcast, so I don't hate it.
I love that premise! I am very good at doing that, turning mundane events into epic movie scenes with no shortage of hyberbole. I have frequently said that adding dramatic music to anything a cat or dog is doing, instantly makes it funnier.
Me and a friend used to do movie reviews but we had the added stipulation that we haad to get drunk while watching the movie and do the review immediately afterwards. A fan requested we do Battleship, which is the sole reason I watched this movie (and probably why I did not hate it outright).
-
If you skip the credits, you can watch all of it in less than 24 hours.
LMAO, any Tremors fan around here?
I'm still waiting for a Tremors vs Critters vs Gremlins movie. We have the technology to make it but what would Hollywood do after such a masterpiece? It would be pointless to make movies after that, none could ever top it.

Disney's "The Black Hole". It came from a time just after Walt Disney had died and they were still figuring out their shit.
So they made an extremely dark SciFi flick with a cute robot that appeals to children which is such a weird combination, but I liked it a lot. I can't even say why.
The U.S.S. Cygnus looks fucking badass, too. One of the best ship designs in a SciFi movie, change my mind.
Disney writer #1: Let's make a Tower of Babel parable, but set it space!
Disney writer #2: Are we going to end the movie with the antagonist being sent to actual-factual Hell?
Disney writer #1: You fucking know it!

Aren't those movies in the same universe as Glass and Split?

The Cabin in the Woods. Only seen it once so far and I'm still floored thinking back on it and how well it did its thing.

Yes I absolutely am! Thank you!

WWF wrestler discovers magic sunglasses and yuppie aliens. It's a John Carpenter film and has one of the longest fist fights.

The first step off the boat sets the pace.

The second one is more generic, but I agree with the first one
Oh yes. Jumanji 2 (3?) was mainly unoriginal callbacks to the previous movie.
-
I found Triangle because it was in the same vein as Primer, which is fucking amazing!
I wish primer had an 20% extra budget so they could make the last act make sense. It just needed a few more explanatory scenes.
Time crimes (Spanish: Los cronocrímenes) is my absolute favourite in the genre.

Event Horizon... terror in space? Worse the Alien? can't be.
but it is haunting and PTSD inducing, very well made
wrote last edited by [email protected]Alien is pretty good but Event Horizon is the best space horror movie.

There are so many movies I could list but for now I'll go with About Time (2013). Everything about it makes it seem like it would be a dumb sappy romcom but it manages to hit hard.
EDIT: This is the type of image they used to market the film, which is really misleading.
It's such a good time, one of my favourite films that I actually rewatch! Bill freakin' Nighy let's go!!

Crank is great! Another JS movie in that category is The Transporter. Totally a B action movie but the premise is unique, the fight scenes are clever (the oil fight!), and the electronic music score is très magnifique. The love aspect, however, is terribly written and cringey. Crank did that part better, and Amy Smart is hilarious.
The first Transporter is a genuinely good film, the 2nd is also pretty decent. But I’m not sure the third and 4th are worth the time of day.
