My choice of worst films
I think most people by now know what my favourite films are, but here is an incomplete list of the films I dislike the most...and why!
Blues Brothers 2000
A silly cartoonish film where everyone seemed wealthy and successful. Maybe I'm wrong but I always thought the blues was about the exact opposite. In the first film we saw the grime of the inner city (Chicago) and the variety of African American street culture. In the sequel, all the grimmy realism has been replaced by vibrant colours, smiling faces and people who sell luxury cars. Hardly the blues!
Son of the Mask
Woeful! I barely got through it. For whatever strange reason, the guy who played the Mask at the beginning of the movie actually DOWNPLAYED the part! He looked bored while doing the role. The rest of the movie was unfunny, unoriginal and sort of painful to watch.
Fat Albert
I just don't think that the whole Fat Albert idea was enough to warrant a feature film. The racial stereotypes it presented were from the 70's and which had no bearing on today. Kids today wouldn't even know who Fat Albert was, and people my age who saw the series back in the 70's probably couldn't have cared less about it becoming a movie.
Inspector Gadget 2
'Dumb' is the best way to discribe this movie. The script, such as it was, went nowhere, it was just one dumb joke after another. I was actually in this movie and I had a chance to watch the director work. From my perspective, it didn't look like there was a great deal of effective communication between him and the crew.
Star Trek: Nemesis
A bit gimicky really. After so many years of very good Star Trek films and tv episodes, this film was a drag. The wedding at the beginning had nothing to do with the rest of the film, the villain was confusing, the big space battle a rip off from Wrath of Kahn, and the new character B4 was unneccessary.
King Arthur
They took a brilliant story and turned it into a piece of PC Hollywood crap. Not only that, they had to rewrite history to do so. Now, I don't mind a bit of poetic license, but this changed centuries of English history. And Clive Owen is sooooooo dull.
Crocodile Dundee 3
They waited years to make this and shouldn't have bothered. It had some silly B-story about art thieves which didn't make any sense. It wasn't funny and looked more like a tv show than a feature film.
If you go and rent any of these movies I will personally send taxi's to your house every night at 2am for a month!
