I don't care what people say. I like these movies. They're not good, but they're fun
I think Pitch Black is a fantastic movie, period. They accomplish so much world building through “show don’t tell,” it’s visually great despite being dark most of the time, and it makes great use of suspense at all stages.
THANK YOU!
I always say a fun "bad" movie is often better than a high production value meh movie.
Give me comic book ridiculous Hellboy, not some serious brooding slop.
I want the movie to understand exactly what it is, and lean into it.
Give me Spaceballs. Give me Godzilla. I have seen so many "artsy" films. sometimes I just want to watch a guy punch another guy with a teacup so hard he dies, and scare three other dudes with a can opener.
Sometimes I just want to see a couple normal looking people absolutely wreck a gang of thugs who underestimated their opponent.
And hope if they make sequels, the sequels don't get too full of themselves.
Chronicles of Riddick, Waterworld, Fifth Element. I love those cheesy, weird-ass movies
