Please try again****UPDATE***** I am going to try to cap this list off soon I have at least a dozen if not more to add to this list before I start my 2019 overrated movies list and given the climate of the film industry there will be tons of them. I remember when you used to go to rent movies at one of the many outlets provided that you could walk through the new releases and come out with your hands full of good entertainment and maybe getting a bad one was few and far between. I use release sites and warez now to find and download practically any show or movie ever made some screeners that are released before the theater or all before retail release.In saying that though most new releases is like playing darts with a blindfold and now its harder to find a decent movie in the endless shitty movies that we are given like finding a needle in a shit covered haystack.
Reviews
The Black Phone (2021)
The trailer over sells it
How was this a horror it is a suspense thriller sans the suspense. The story to me seems to be a collection of many other movies rammed into one poorly executed movie. Ethan Hawke is not creepy, hes not scary and was rather flat in this movie. Even though the movie is called The Black Phone his character is the reason for the whole movie and the majority is focused on the protagonist and the phone over his characters insanity that would provoke any fear of him. I'm not going to tell you not to watch it but I will say I wish I didn't or at least waited until the hype of it calmed as it is disappointing if you expect what you see in the trailer.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013)
Watchable at best
Some episodes have funny elements but for the most part the show is cheesy and poorly written. Characters are cliche and jokes are recycled regurgitated bits used in many other forgettable shows before this one. I guess if theres nothing else to watch.
Beyond the Black Rainbow (2010)
If you like cheesy scifi from the 70's this is for you....otherwise it's terrible
I wouldn't have even watched it had I known Panos Cosmatos wrote and directed it. I didn't know this when I started to watch the film but I suspected this after 20+ minutes and I had too look the film up as I was sure at this point it was another one of his ridiculously terrible movies. I hated Mandy it's another horrible movie with the same abuse of camera filters and terrible music you may find in a 70's movie. I did read the synopsis going in knowing what the movie was basically about and it sounded alright yet 20+ minutes in I had no idea of what was going on or if anything was going on or for that matter what the purpose of the film was overall. Yeah yeah I understand what they were going for its just pure hot garbage hiding under the guise of art which it isn't lets just call terrible movie what it is TERRIBLE and not pretend we are sophisticated cause you get it cause thats impossible it's pure nonsense. First we see barely any dialogue and an over use of red filtering accompanied by horrible music that again belongs back in the 70's if it ever belonged there either. .Just like Mandy I stopped watching it after getting sick of the nonsense and the pointless direction the movie was heading in.Once again he has produced another movie that is too long and could have been done in a 22 minutes by a show like Outer Limits or Black Mirror. So if you like long drawn out boring nonsense with extra cheese this is your movie. Personally I feel this guy is a hack and I don't see why his movies have above average ratings, To me this movie looks like something you might get from a scifi geek in film school that should be given an F. He tries to look artsy and creative but in the end he just looks like an inexperienced, untalented pretentious hack. In saying this I have seen far better student films than this one trying to swim in the mainstream under the guise of creativity.
The Photograph (2020)
If Tyler Perry and BET had a baby this would be the horrible outcome
This is pure cheese and proof that peoples standard of quality has fallen to pitiful depths. Currently this movie is rated a 6 and deserves 1 of those stars at best, This movie isn't above average as a 5 is average I can't see how anyone could rate this above average, its a lifetime network movie disaster with African Americans instead of uppity spoon fed white people as the cast. In the end this is nothing better than the tripe Tyler Perry unleashed on the public through the years so why is it rated a 6. The characters were terrible the acting worse and the script the worst of all. People stop watching crappy Netflix movies its lowering your standards for other production companies to put out crap movies. This isn't even good for the genre and there are far better examples of what they were trying to convey in this.
Freaks (2018)
What did I just watch
Total nonsensical rubbish the characters are annoying especially that bratty baby talking girl as the main character. The story is total nonsense if you even want to say there was one, it had potential but was poorly executed. This is one I kept thinking I should just turn it off but I stuck with it to the dreadful ending unfortunately. This movie is a prime reason they need negative ratings for movies on here.
Inglourious Basterds (2009)
One of my favorites
I can't say many bad things about this film but the music selection was horrible. I know Terantino is known for his wacky soundtracks but this one just doesn't fit the era of the film. Other than that it was great.
Ad Astra (2019)
lifeless,bland,and boring
First thing I will say for me this movie seemed like it was shot on fancy sets and fail to deliver that vast space feeling. Second I didn't like brads lifeless character that mumbles and whispers the entire narration of the movie. You don't care about the characters except for how implausible and illogical they are. I also hate Tommy Lee Jones he's the same character in every movie pretty much and to me looked more like a washed up actor than an astronaut of any capacity. Its too long slow and it's one of those ones you keep watching hoping it might get better and then its over and that part never comes. This literally could have been a 1 hour outer limits or black mirror episode if you took out all the pointless and uneventful parts.You can watch it if you like but don't say you weren't warned. Overrated probably an award winner though as all the films that can buy their awards are. Don't believe me check out how they come to be nominated and win the awards it definitely doesn't exemplify film superiority.
The Refuge (2019)
This one is a fine example of why they should have negative ratings
Horrible I shut it off 17 minutes into it, the movie had a cheesy 80's action b movie feeling right from the get go. Then the first few scenes you know you've just sunk your teeth into something rotten like it was shot as a university program film project. I don't know maybe a high school audio/video class is more accurate. The little dialogue that I endured was pretty horrible by this point you're teetering on shutting it off and continuing to watch. Then you get to the second character interaction and you will know it's time to shut it down. Don't waste your time on this heap of doo I can't believe I let it waste mine even the little time that it did.
Brightburn (2019)
Get over it babies it wasnt about a hero and had gore in it
I watched this without watching any trailers and I loved it, with all the super hero good guy movies it was refreshing to see the anti-hero aspect. I don't get how so many can vote this down because of the gore which is expected with most horrors or because it wasn't a good guy film. I also notice all these people complaining they like the trailer and not the movie why build unrealistic expectations for everything you watch you're taking all the surprise out of the film.Imagine if every book you read you read the cliff notes about all the best or crucial parts what would be the point of reading the entire story and what wouldn't that make all the other parts that make the story seem boring. I would love to see a sequel to this film as I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I gave this a nine because of all the whiners that gave it under five.
Mandy (2018)
How is this movie rated over 5
The story is not original nor is the use of red filtering many garbage grindhouse movies have done this many times before. How about revenge I Spit On Your Grave is only rated a 6.3 and this movie is not even near as good revenge or horror wise. Nic Cage for me has become a sign I am about to watch a crappy movie I even find going back to his older movies he was never a good actor really he just had good roles with better actors picking up the pieces where he failed. Now all he can get is low budget Netflix and B movie roles and really that's all he deserves. If you like this you must not watch Horror movies cause this thing isn't even worth the 1 I gave it.
Marrowbone (2017)
How is this rated so high or a horror
This movie is boring and way overrated I thought the synopsis sounded good and never watched a trailer so I was expecting a decent movie. Unfortunately I was disappointed by this slow moving long boring film that I am still questioning why its classified horror. Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door is far more horrific than this and its not under the horror genre. I don't know what the hype is for this all I can say is don't believe the rating and if you are watch with the lowest standard for movies and you might enjoy it but I expected a good movie and boy was I wrong.
Ghost Stories (2017)
How is this a 6
It's been a long long long time since a good anthology movie has been put together so its hard for me to find something to compare this heap of plop to, matter of fact all TV attempts to bring antholgies back have failed miserabley too Black Mirror terrible Then the new Twilight Zone garbage even the new Creepshow show kinda sucks. Not sure what Creephow the movie and its sequel have for a rating but I can't imagine its very high but in comparison Creepshow is a far better than this crap movie. I guess its rate a 6 from all the people giving 8-10 out of 10 for a movie that clearly isn't worth half of that. Has film become this stale that even the crappiest of movies is now acceptable cmon people have a little common sense when voting. All 3 stories are horrible and poorly done and the acting is horrendous. I would have gave this less than a 1 if there was negative ratings.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019)
Not for kids but not for adults either, who is this for?
I remember these stories and characters from the books of the same name I read when I was a kid. I am 41 now and the stories now seem like something Are you Afraid of the Dark or Goosebumps would do. I had the series of books and they were great when I was 8-10 and of course when you read your imagination makes them scarier not the stories themselves this is someone else's imagination or perspective of the story and they aren't scary at all. The whole thing could have been a TV hour long Halloween movie so its 40 minutes or so too long without achieving what the title promises. I don't know who this movie is for it's certainly not for young children, it would be lame for teens and adults will wonder what genre this fits in cause it's not a family movie and it's certainly not a horror movie by adult standards. I guess the pg-13 is actually right this time but I have a hard time thinking a teen would ask their parents to go see this. Don't waste your time on this especially if you read the books its annoying that this is what they came up with from them and leaves you annoyed for wasting your time.I wanted to shut it off many times but unfortunately watched until the boring conclusion.
The Kitchen (2019)
Kind of like Widows only not good
Tiffany Haddish needs to find a new career she can't act and McCarthy should stick to comedies she has type cast herself shes one of those ones I can't take serious as soon as I see her kinda like Will Ferrel nobody wants to see their serious side. Skip this watch Widows cause this one is terrible.
Ready or Not (2019)
How is this an originql nideaq for so many reviewers
I don't understand how so many can say this is an original idea for a film. All we have here is a regurgitated female version of the movie Get Out. Next I do know how 16k voters have rated this a 7 or higher. Are they going to do this for all the movies in the future we already had female reboots of Ghostbusters and one of the Oceans franchise and they were horrible. I wish that this movie was an original idea but it isn't nothing anymore is original it's all reboots,remakes, and stealing ideas of the past.I knew form reading the synopsis it made me think Get Out 2 and I see from other reviews others felt the same. If this is new to you maybe watch more movies before you start rating films.
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)
Great movie for knuckle draggers and people who still watch Segal movies and rate them a 10
Man just when you think this heap of doodoo franchise is finally over they make a spinoff of it. Whats to be said two rock heads do some obvious stunts with terrible effects and worst of all no racing like the first movies were about and they strayed farther from as the sequels kept coming. Whatever story there was was terrible the dialogue cliche and laughable. Overall a huge waste of time that will add nothing to your life. I just can't believe this many troglodytes would give this a 9 or 10 rating I mean learn the ratings obviously a 10 is for a flawless in other words the best movie you've ever seen and 9 almost perfect which if this movie is the best you've ever seen then you need to see more movies. So please think before you rate movies.
Shaft (2019)
I got the shaft viewing this film
Not a comedy the attempted jokes are cheesy and cliche. The character doesn't mesh well with the current time period meaning he belongs in the 70's. Perfect character in real life racist Samuel L Jackson who I stopped liking when I heard how he really felt about white people. Hopefully this will be the last of this dud of a character and story.
Love & Other Drugs (2010)
Don't be fooled
I am not sure what the positive reviews for this are about, telling others it's not your typical romcom and the truth is it is totally cliche and like so many other romcoms Ive been subjected to watching in my life. Next I don't understand all the nudity and staged sex scenes where implication is all you really need if I wanted to watch others have sex I would watch porn not hokie love scenes. I want content when I watch a movie this had none. Josh Gad is the welfare version of Jonah Hill before Jonah started his Anna Nicole Smith diet(Crack and vodka) now he looks like he went from Chunky to Junkie. In closing its overrated and unless you like romcoms avoid it cause it's terrible.
The Cabin in the Woods (2011)
How is this a 7/10 ?
Every once in a while I will give some of the movies I didn't enjoy another shot due to the mood I may have been in when viewing it the first time and sometimes I am rewarded for that. This is not the case here this movie was crap the first time and equally annoying the second time around. I imagine the high ratings are from people that like that also like that art house crap that nobody else can endure let alone watch till conclusion.There are tons of horror movies that are way better in accordance to the genre that have way lower scores and that's just wrong. As a comedy it fails too as it isn't funny in the least, if you want a comedy horror watch Tucker and Dale vs. Evil or Shaun of the Dead and this one falls way short in comparison to either.The last thing I will say is Chris Hemsworth can't act and plays the same character in every movie he sounds like Thor even in this one. Overall the acting is horrible the story confusing and pointless and the ending horrible.
A Star Is Born (2018)
Terrible movie and now lady blah blah is setting her sites on film
This movie is pure cheese and represents everything that's wrong with music today people who need editing and cant perform live. Has everyone not seen the live performances of the main song, Cooper cant sing even with auto sync and for lady blah blah I'm still not sure how shes even famous she's like the watered down welfare version of Madonna.Just like Madonna she cant act either. Blah Blah dresses like a low budget stripper in real life and has the same class as one which is said seeing she a multimillionaire.
On to this flop nothing special its not gripping or inspirational its typical mainstream nonsense with characters you could throttle rather than enjoy or relate to.its a failure compared to the original movie that had stars that had talent without all the editing required to make Blah blah sound tolerable. Skip this watch the original if you're that desperate for entertainment that is.
A Madea Family Funeral (2019)
Who would rate this a 10 or even a 9 for that matter
This tripe isn't even worth the 1 star I gave or 8-9 either I can't believe the people that would rate this that. I would have to guess that they don't watch or understand the voting system or the impact of voting a movie incorrectly or beyond reason.I was happy to read this was the last of Tyler Perry's madness I mean the guy has never made a movie that has been rated above a 5 on here. Where is this guy getting money to do these incredibly poor movies. Many comedians before Perry did the male dressed as a female and it worked even big mamas house was ten times better and it sucked too. My advice to anyone skip this one there are far better movies available.
The Twilight Zone (2019)
Pretty good just one ajustment needed and thats a new host!!!
I love the original original Twilight Zone (1959-1964) and Rod Serling is my all time favorite TV personality. The original is my go to when I'm sick or feeling blue and Rod had such a savvy macabre presence he was perfect for the for the part he played in the show he created. I own every episode of the original and Night Gallery as well and every one is magnificent and creative. I don't expect anything to be as good because it never will be, the newest ones stories are pretty good its just the front man in Jordan Peele thats personality doesn't fit in this type of show. This is the second attempt to launch the show as the (2002-03) flopped after one season with the front man being Forest Whitaker another guy that didn't fit the role. I cant take Jordan Peele seriously I love the way they used the original delivery format for the show but they need someone closer to Rod Serling, Peele just makes me want to laugh and he even cracks himself up.
I love Key and Peele and his movies but hes out of place here they need to fix this if they wish to continue for more than a season. I also found that the first intro he did pretty good but the intro to episode 2 when hes done presenting the story he looked like he was try not to crack up watch his mouth if you don't believe me. I also didn't like how the guy that plays Booger in the Revenge of the Nerds and Snot in American Dad narrating the second episode he is another person I just cant take serious and lacks that mysterious and macabre sense that is needed to narrate this type of show.
I hope the show lasts longer and they may work out the kinks and my advice as a viewer is if you love the original as I do don't think so deeply comparative with the original and appreciate that they at least kept the same format and you will enjoy it much more. Its not great but it's got potential and if viewers just give it a chance they may sort out the problems. We need a good anthology series but viewers have to give it a chance without comparing it to the original they love and for it to be appealing to those who have never seen the original as well.
What Men Want (2019)
I know that I "don't want" to watch this movie again
What do Taraji P. Henson (This Movie) and Tiffany Haddish(Night School) have in common well they both like to think that nagging is funny and yelling while nagging is even funnier, oh how wrong they both are. Both women are incredibly annoying and far from comedians they should look for jobs in telemarketing cause neither seems to want to shut up for two seconds. Tracy Morgan is Tracy Morgan in this and he seems to have one trick in his bag and it's becoming stale. He also seems to be under same the delusion the aforementioned are under as his yelling is equivocally annoying. As far as the movie it is an undeniably 1 star rating as it's absolutely horrible and if you found this funny you need to watch more movies cause this is a pitiful attempt of comedy. I notice another reviewer said it was gross not sure what they meant was but I like even raunchy comedy but this wasn't that either so if you like characters that yell and bicker through an entire movie this is for you but if you don't I wouldn't feel bad about missing this one.
The Silence (2019)
Another Netflix flop to add to the pile
A poor attempt of the movie Quiet place even though Kranski ruined that for me too. I didn't like it and I certainly don't like this recycled B version of it either. Netflix should just go back to renting people movies cause out of a ton of productions they haven't put out a quality movie yet. The Highwaymen had potential but they spent more time outlining Harrelson and Costner characters and not enough on the brutality of the characters the movie was about. It just seems to me that these movies are more fit for a TV release like Lifetime movies.
The Highwaymen (2019)
The Boringmen
This is a shock to me and makes me question whether I saw the same film as the people rating it a plus I say it below standard. The movie focuses more on the two old guys played by Harrelson and Costner and less on Bonnie and Clyde who people want the story to be about and should be based on.Other wise you just have two curmudgeons bitching about being too old for this #@$% like Glover in Lethal weapon only this movie isn't good.There's not much to say other than it had potential but yet again Netflix produces another dud they leave out the interesting and what should be the subject characters as Bonnie and Clyde side of things is basically ignored. I'm not going to say anything specific about scenes as I don't want the spoiler block so I am just giving my observation of the film overall. Have people totally lost the sense of what a good movie is cause this definitely isn't that and if you want to watch a better movie along the same lines watch Natural Born Killers no one cares about the law enforcement stopping them and the same goes for this film I would rather have the focus be on Bonnie and Clyde's perspective not the law that stopped them.
