Un-Recommend A Movie

[music_freak28]

hey...I find Enchanted pretty entertaining although it's seriously senseless.

Anyways..here goes..

I unrecommend....
Harry Potter 5 and 3 coz it's absolutely incomplete and silly
Kung Pow....I can't stand watching the lameness!

[Uncle_Bryan]

[castle]

well,its a nice movie for simple minded people like me who watches movie for sheer entertainment and not for the deep and meaningful storyline.hehe.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. Although a 2 hour show, I felt like I have sat in the cinema for 3 hours!!

How could I forget Jumper. I was preparing to leave the cinema every second of the film, but thinking how much I've spent on the ticket and popcorn, I decided to stay put. It was not as bad as Epic Movie, but it was definitely bad

re: Jumper - heh, it took me 10 minutes too to recall that movie. I suspect that Jumper was another clever excuse by the director Doug Liman to have an all-expenses-paid-for round-the-world-trip (the movie budget was at US$85 million; the usual blockbuster is only in the US$50-60 million range). I mean, the girl wasn't even hot. The Scottish accent was sort of cool though.

re: Enchanted - being a Disney freak I hyped myself BADLY for more than a year over this one (knew the entire promotional trailer by heart). I would've preferred something more nuanced than having every one-liner spelt out exhaustively. The homages to Disney classics weren't smart or subtle, just blatant cut and paste jobs from old Disney cartoons too. I can see it being a potentially entertaining movie for people who aren't familiar with Disney (unfortunately I could identify at least 70% of the Disney references in the film =/).

And Disney animation is dead T_T

Not really. The Princess and the Frog is coming out in 2009 as well as Rapunzel in 2010. They could spark a Disney Renaissanse again. As for Enchanted, yeah maybe storywise it was not so original. Maybe I was just enjoying Alan Menken's music again. But it's still kinda off a step up from previous Disney films after the Renaissanse. Disney films after Tarzan aside from Pixar, are not worth seeing.

Rapunzel is more of a graphical experiment - that would be interesting with Glen Keane heading the project. The only screenshot of Princess and the Frog looks nice too, but I don't dare to have my hopes up. I used to think the world of James Baxter, but the animation in Enchanted for which he was responsible was a huge let-down. The Japanese just seem to do it so much better these days (e.g. this one and this one) - more experimental and stylish too.

Alan Menken's best work was Beauty and the Best i.m.o., and he sort of 'lost it' after his creative partner Howard Ashman died.

Disney needs a new Ashman, really (who was the Disney Renaissance pioneer starting with Little Mermaid). Beauty and the Beast is one of the finest films ever made - if only Disney could achieve a similar level of output again. Sure, I like Lion King too but they really need to stop thinking that cartoons are only for kids, and only aiming for commercial success.

Worst Movie Ever must be Ultraviolet. Have you guys even heard of it?

I was forced by circumstance to watch it since I had two free movie tickets. Even if you pay me now, I won't watch it. Well, unless it's more than RM5.

For the year 2008, I un-recommend Superhero Movie.
