History Quotes / BadMovieBeatdown

->''"Although '''Film/ILoveYouBethCooper''' is actually fairly close to its source material, thanks largely through sharing the same writer, it still manages to be lost in adaptation. The book's content, which would've made for an R-rated movie, has been toned down for the PG-13, so the vestiges of the original darker content come across as harsher in the sea of mediocrity. If they were attempting to satirise or make a comment on teen flicks, then they failed, because the final film shows little evidence of this, and it's just another entry tredding on familiar ground. Hell, even '''Film/TheGirlNextDoor''' is a better take at this kind of material! The running gay joke not only wears thin, but comes close to being worryingly homophobic, especially given the character's alternate name is "Dick Munsch", and his habit of quoting movies is another staggeringly unfunny runner that only reminds you of better films! Director Creator/ChrisColumbus has to lay a lot of the blame here, as he does a poor job, because scenes feel slack, forced, and tone-deaf, laying on subtlety-free slapstick to compensate. This reflects in many of the lame stereotypes throughout, especially Paul Rust's '''way''' overplaying nerd, who is one of the most irritating lead performances I've seen in ages, who actually looks older than the eight-year age difference suggests, making things even more unsettling! In short, I don't like you, Beth Cooper, let's not be friends, and I'm not accepting a Website/{{Facebook}} invite either."''

->''"So anyway, '''Film/{{Transmorphers}}''': the ghastly result of '''Franchise/{{Transformers}}''', '''Franchise/StarshipTroopers''', '''Film/TheMatrix''', '''Film/TheTerminator''', and '''Film/DemolitionMan''' all [[XMeetsY mixed together]] with a [[NoBudget miniscule budget]], terrible acting and god-awful direction. The special effects are absolutely [[SpecialEffectsFailure laughable]] and the script keeps contradicting itself on the fly. The robots that were [[InformedAttribute apparently invincible]] are just beaten with a simple plan that someone could've come up in their sleep. They've been fighting for hundreds of years and it took them'' this long ''to come up with this plan? As I said the budget is horrendous. Now low budget by no means equals poor quality. I mean, one of its inspirations, '''Film/TheTerminator''', was fairly low budget. Here however, they handle it in the worst possible manner. It's always blatantly obvious when they've run into budget constraints. If you can't show a scene due to a lack of budget, [[ShowDontTell don't for the love of God]] compensate for it by having the characters look at something [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome off-screen]] and describe it. It only draws attention to itself. Just cut the scene! In fact, that would've made the poor pacing and subpar direction slightly more bearable."''

->''"'''Film/LeapYear''' is so awful, that it can almost be considered a cultural insult. It's clear that the writers had no idea what UsefulNotes/Ireland was like whatsoever, other than what's on a Lucky Charms cereal box, and shoehorn them into every romcom convention known to man, depicting the country like it's barely progressed in a hundred years and filled with stereotypes. Creator/AmyAdams and Matthew Goode are wonderful actors, but this movie does them a disservice because it makes them look like fools, playing petty, spiteful, and just plain aggravating characters who can hardly stand to watch, let alone want to see together, with Goode's sullen barky being obnoxious. It aims to be this charming comedy, but it's clawing and sloppily made with a haphazard quality at every turn, as they don't even put effort into the conventions. I can't imagine what it must be like watching this as an Irish viewer; this must've been laughed off the screen in the country, and not in the way the filmmakers intended. For all involved, this is a total embarrassment that, to quote the movie, is a load of poo. If you want to have a lucky day, don't waste your time watching this absolute drivel! Maybe take a page out of Matthew Goode's book and watch '''Film/TheQuietMan''' instead, or hell, even watch a '''Film/{{Leprechaun}}''' sequel; those are about as Irish as this is!"''

->''You know how I said at the end of my '''Film/MegaSharkVsGiantOctopus''' review how Creator/TheAsylum seem to be improving? Well, I take that back because this film is atrocious on every level. The CGI is awful, with the piranhas [[OffModel changing from shot to shot]]. The acting is more wooden than a rainforest and the script, when it's not being incredibly stupid and filled with plot holes, is just an [[RecycledScript unimaginative clone]] of '''Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus'''. Even as a cheesy BMovie, it's so damn awful it borders on downright unwatchable.''

->''"Damn it, ''One Night Stand'' you are infuriating! This drama is completely confused. The issue of infidelity is a tricky subject and the treatment here doesn't do it justice. The performances are excellent, especially Creator/RobertDowneyJr, but the characters are largely unlikable and the plot is ludicrously convoluted. I really don't get who this was supposed to be aimed at, it's not lurid and exploitive as you might first think, but it doesn't really satisfy some mature drama because it constantly shies away from making tough decisions or actually having a viewpoint. This culminates in a preposterous cop-out twist that is absolutely rage-inducing. The AIDS scenes are absolutely harrowing but they deserve a better, different movie that isn't using the topic to make itself feel so usually important. I also found the directing style irritating and aggravatingly pretentious. The film is basically a time capsule of 90s filmmaking both for better and for worse."''

->''"Even as a fan of the [[Franchise/DieHard franchise]], '''Film/AGoodDayToDieHard''' is not only a disgrace to its namesake, it's also one of the worst big-budget action movies in recent memory. As much as it pains me to say this, it's abundantly clear that the ''Die Hard'' well has completely dried up by this point. There is barely the faintest echo of the [[Film/DieHard original classic]] in this soulless embarrassment that has virtually no connection to the earlier movies, but damages it by association. Even without the name, this is an incompetent action movie, as director Creator/JohnMoore's awful camera work and editing turns the whole film into a headache, the villains are lame and thinly-drawn, and the cobbled-together script is clearly an afterthought between mind-numbing set pieces. But the worst thing about the film is [[Creator/BruceWillis Willis]] himself, who's phoned-in and disinterested reprisal of his StarMakingRole sees him barely show up as a sidekick in his own movie to Creator/JaiCourtney's lunkhead replacement, and John [=McClane=]'s become this [[{{Jerkass}} massively unlikable wanker]] that gets his kicks out of hurting people, especially if they don't speak his language. '''This''' is radioactive waste that makes the [[Film/LiveFreeOrDieHard fourth film]] look like the first by comparison! In the end, it's a good day to put this series out of its own misery!"''

->''"Although it isn't as bad as some of the heinous sequels it spawned, it does deserve this review for being so dull. I mean you can't just have fast cars take the plot. There has something going on behind it. It takes itself too seriously and is no fun. Creator/PaulWalker might need checking for termites judging by his acting. And the film is already heavily dated and only eight years after its release due to its migraine-inducing soundtrack. The new movie, '''Fast & Furious''', is being depicted as a return to form for the series. From terrible to just plain mediocre. Yeah, just some comeback. Now if you excuse me, I need to go rev my engine."''

->''"I mean my god, this is a terrible movie. Spectacularly bad writing is everywhere! The fight scenes are short and poorly done. The performances and casting is atrocious. And for a supposedly faithful adaptation, [[AdaptationDecay they changed pretty much everything]]! Oh, and there were only seven characters from the games. What surprised me about the movie is that it takes itself so goddamn seriously. At least [[Film/StreetFighter the first attempt]] was a bit of fun. I mean, who the hell was calling out for a [[DarkerAndEdgier dark and gritty]] version of Franchise/StreetFighter? The tone is so erratically different, that if you changed the name and title, this would be a generic martial arts movie. All the characters have been stripped of everything but their most basic traits, or in Rose's case, not even that."''

It's clear that this was a script that was hastily written to cash in on the [[Film/TheFastAndTheFurious first film]], and is extremely limited by the fact that almost none of the cast return. It already has '''barely anything''' to do with street racing by this point, it uses CGI cars instead of the real thing, it's so dipped in neon, I thought I was watching '''Film/BatmanForever'''! Creator/PaulWalker is his usual unbelievably bland self, and Tyrese Gibson is an irritating and inadequete replacement for Creator/VinDiesel. The only humour this movie has is the [[HoYay macho subtext]], which the movie lays on so much, I'm almost convinced the filmmakers did it intentionally. At least '''that''' makes it more enjoyable to watch than its predecessor."''

->''"'''The Cavern''' not only surpasses '''Bear''' as the worst horror film I've ever seen, but may well be the worst film period. I reviewed racist, sexist, unfunny, and downright unpleasant films before, but this is a special kind of film: '''[[UpToEleven It's unwatchable]]'''. I don't care if it's low-budget, that doesn't mean [[TheyJustDidntCare you forget basic principles of lighting or cinematography]]. I know the film's creators though they were being iterative, but that's because [[WhatAnIdiot no one was dumb enough]] to do it before. The film [[SpecialEffectsFailure has an ugly, over-produced digital look]], the script is [[IdiotPlot woefully incomprehensible nonsense]], and the ending is [[GratuitousRape reprehensible]]. Even at 80 minutes, this is sheer torture that makes your home movies look professional by comparison. Every single copy of '''The Cavern''' should be thrown in the deepest, darkest pit imaginable, so that it never blights a TV screen EVER AGAIN."''

->''"'''Breaking Wind: Part 1''' is one of the worst spoof movies ever made and definitely one of the worst comedies I've seen in general too. [[ShallowParody It has nothing to say about its topic]], which it hates to the point of being dismissive. All the jokes [[DudeNotFunny are below the belt]] and if they thought this was at all edgy or adult, then they should be downright ashamed of themselves. In addition, the terrible direction and acting oversell every single repetitive joke, to the point that it becomes almost unbearable. Craig Moss needs to stay away from doing anymore of these spoof movies, because he's frankly so abysmal that the art of comedy needs to file a restraining order. And really, if you want to laugh at '''Literature/{{Twilight}}''', go watch the first, second, and fifth films since they're pretty much unintentional comedies anyway. All watching this does is award the filmmakers [[TheyJustDidntCare lack of effort]] and encourage them further. And pray they don't make a part two. Or to put it in a way that this movie frankly deserves... (Film Brain starts BlowingARaspberry [[FlippingTheBird while giving a two-fingered gesture at the camera]])"''

->''"'''Project X''' is a detestable little film, and that's frankly if you can even call it that [[ExcusePlot but it barely has enough plot to fill a 2-minute trailer, let alone a feature film]]. What passes for a script here probably amounts to about 10 pages tops, half of which are references to much superior films in the genre. Every single thing about the movie is ugly, [[DarknessInducedAudienceApathy from the nasty pustules passing for characters]], including [[TheScrappy Costa, possibly one of the worst seen on screen in the last ten years]], [[SpecialEffectsFailure to the camerawork due to its badly executed found footage gimmick]]. But by far the most ill-judged thing is its tone. [[TheyJustDidntCare This could have made a terrific social parody if they actually showed the consequences]], but the film depressingly plays it straight, and actually [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop endorses and celebrates the increasing depravity, and even encourages emulation to top the partying bar]]. And to cap it all, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking the party just looks overcrowded and crappy]]. This is basically a vile film that seems to be aimed at [[{{Sociopath}} sociopaths]] and [[{{Jerkass}} pricks]], and is skin-crawling for all the wrong reasons. I mean if you want to go to a party, you don't have to live vicariously through this movie. Just to go one. I guarantee you'll have a much better time."''

->''"[[Film/TheTimeMachine2002 This]] certainly isn't the Creator/HGWells [[Literature/TheTimeMachine novel]] in '''any shape of form'''. It's not even that I have a problem with, it's the fact it's not even Wells' message! At least keep intact the original spirit. They simply made some crappy little sci-fi flick about time travel, and slapped a name on it. It's a terrible, terrible adaptation, a true bastardisation! The issue is not the film was remade, but the fact that the film had so much potential. This isn't even the worst film featured on this programme by far, but it's still a bad movie just managing to turn a literary great into a boring and idiotic action film! H.G. should be doing cartwheels in his grave about now!"''

It condemns its target audience "gamers" for their bloodlust, then wallow in the imagery themselves with lots of shock shots for no reason in the narrative. The characters are shallow idiots with poorly written spiteful dialogue played by great character actors with nothing to do. The worst part of the movie is the action scenes which are frankly incomprehensible shite combining all the worst aspects of modern action movies.

No cliche or left-wing stereotype is left untouched; the product placement is shameless and intrusive, the violence is completlely gratuitous, and the plot is farfetched, even by [[Creator/SylvesterStallone Stallone]]'s standards. The whole thing feels cheap and sleazy, and has aged badly. So, all in all, this is Stallone's '''Film/{{Commando}}''', except it takes itself so damn seriously, that it makes it even funnier!"''

->''"'''Film/{{Driven}}''' needs to be put on the hard shoulder. Yes, it's commendable that [[Creator/SylvesterStallone Stallone]] made himself a supporting player in his own movie, but [[DesignatedHero Kip Pardue]] is a [[{{Narm}} charmisa black hole from which there is no escape]]. [[TheScrappy The characters are not developed or likeable enough]], and the races are ludicrous! There's so many damn crashes, and they're all so overdone, it is nothing short of hilarious! And if that's not bad enough for race fans, it's filled with glaring inaccuracies. The special effects in this movie are atrocious! '''Driven''' makes '''Film/DaysOfThunder''' look like '''Film/LeMans'''."''

->''"I'm going to put this briefly, because I've said everything I wanted to say already. [[Film/GoodLuckChuck This]] is a hateful sexist movie that operates in a complete moral vacuum that is painfully unfunny, largely due to the smug overracted performance of Creator/DaneCook, who fails to be likeable. The sex is a coarse and uncomfortable fit with the mean-spirited slapstick comedy, and the script is astonishingly dumb. Dan Fogler delivers the worst comic performance I've ever seen. I '''hated''' this offensively terrible movie! The fact that this got made in 2007 is frankly astonishing."''

->''"Not that dignity is a thing that anyone escapes with in [[Film/WhenInRome this movie]]. The movie's basically written like a cartoon, with these broad one-note characters who do stupid things repeatedly '''over and over again''', when it often doesn't make any sense in context. [[WhatTheHellCastingAgency This cast of talented comedians are both completely wasted and incredibly irritating]], and the film's idea of love and romance is startlingly naive, even by Hollywood's standards. The film shows clear signs that someone hacked it to pieces, trying to salvage it, but there is nothing to rescue but dusty old romcom cliches and dismal slapstick. Not even the charms of Creator/KristenBell could save it for me..."''

->''"So that was '''Bear'''. It was completely un''bear''able. The characters are all completely unlikable sacks of shit who lie, cheat, and betray each other. The bear ends up being the most likable character. The characters constantly make stupid, implausible decisions because the script is dumb and repetitive; having to repeatedly engineer ways for why the characters haven't escaped the scenario. This culminates in a twist that is [[ShockingSwerve preposterous and nonsensical]], and I can't believe this extremely pretentious horror flick expects us to swallow such nonsense. On a technical level this movie completely falls apart, particularly because of their budget. It's almost like a crash-course on how not to make a film, and should be avoided because it's a total waste of time."''

->''"'''Film/TheHappening''' is a bizarre film. It seems to have been made by an alien, because everything is so... off. The script is full of things that people would never say or do, acted unconvincingly by [[WhatTheHellCastingAgency mis-cast actors]] [[{{Narm}} delivering their worst performances ever]]. Creator/MarkWahlberg, with his soft voice, is completely humilated, and Creator/ZooeyDeschanel makes googly eyes throughout the whole film that make her look braindead. The science of the film is shoddy, but that's not surprising considering the green message of the film, which is laid on with no subtly or respect for the audience. '''"Man and Science is weak, and we should all respect the power of Nature and Love!"''' Its saving grace is being so incredibly unintentionally funny, because it's a ridiculous film approached with a po-faced seriousness, and lack of humour that is so gloriously pretentious. The film tries to make a comment on paranoia, but it just ends up becoming a farce. After this, [[Creator/MNightShyamalan M. Night]]'s descent into complete madness was sealed by his adaptation of the cartoon '''[[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar]]''' - not related to Creator/JamesCameron's [[Film/{{Avatar}} work]] obviously - into '''Film/TheLastAirbender''', which was critically panned and destroyed at the box office, putting his writer/director days to an end presently. He has since produced '''Film/{{Devil}}''', which, whilst mediocre, is certainly a step-up for a director who sums up once and for all, how the mighty can fall."''

->''"'''[[Film/TheToothFairy Tooth Fairy]]''' is about as cheerful as a trip to the dentist, but at least the gas might make you laugh more than the film does. I'm probably going to have a dozen complaints from people saying I was too hard on it because it's a kid's film, and generally, I avoid doing them so I don't get criticised for that. But even still, it shouldn't be an excuse for laziness. They could've took their silly idea in interesting and playful directions, but they made it as mundane and boring as possible! The film's single joke dries up fast, and it ends up relying on their incredible cast to liven up non-existant material, and it ends up drowning in sub-plots. There's just no feeling of magic. They've made the fairy world into an accounting department that will bore kids. It looks heavily re-edited, but the most egregious thing is the blatant abuse of amnesia as a cheap "get out free" clause that shows massive disain for the audience. Again, this took '''five writers to come up with'''?! Oh, and seldom a date passes where someone on Twitter doesn't ask me whether I've heard of the InNameOnly sequel '''Tooth Fairy 2''' starring Creator/LarryTheCableGuy. Well, yes I have, and quite frankly, it makes me wake up in cold sweats just thinking about it. In short, this movie bites. [[DontExplainTheJoke Get it? 'Cause you bite down with your teeth and]]... Sorry."''

->''"You know, Wesley Snipes is actually right about a lot of [[Film/BladeTrinity this movie]]. David S. Goyer's script for the film is an absolute mess! A bunch of plot points thrown together and often forgotten about for long periods of time with frat boy humour only making things worse. The inclusion of the Nightstalkers, obviously intended to launch a spin-off, hinders the film due to their lack of credibilty, especially Creator/RyanReynolds, [[TheScrappy who I found insufferable]]. Goyer's direction is ropey, and the over-long running time isn't helped by [[{{Padding}} loads of minor scenes that they really just should've cut]]. The inclusion of {{Dracula}} is a disappointment, partly due to the bad writing, and partly due to the fact that Dominic Purcell is a completely charmisa-less block of muscle. Even the action is weak, and it's positively anemic compared to the [[Film/{{Blade}} other]] [[Film/BladeII two]] films. But Snipes himself deserves blame too; his central perfomance brims with obvious disdain for the film, and whilst it wouldn't have been good even on his A-game, he ends up making the film implode around him. Clearly aimed at a younger mainstream audience, '''Blade: Trinity''' is a failure of a climax for fans of two otherwise decent films in this [[Film/BladeTrilogy series]]."''

->''"'''Film/GoneFishin''' never really aspired to be much, just a light buddy comedy that's inoffensive and innocent with an easy charm. I would say harmless, but I've watched it and it's anything but. [[DudeNotFunny This is comedy at its most painfully misfiring, and it goes wrong in every conceivable way]]. Creator/DannyGlover and Creator/JoePesci are, suffice to say, not a modern day Laurel and Hardy. In fact, they don't have much chemistry at all, with Pesci doing overed O-faces, and Glover being so relaxed, he's borderline sleepwalking, and that's before he literally does so due to the terrible material. Their rasping renders the dialogue barely intelligable, but most of it is endlessly repetitive, shouting each other's names at the end of every line, or name catchphrases, and that's when they're not setting up jokes that can be seen from space! In short, this film stinks like fish and should be thrown back, where it'll probably sink like a stone!"''

->''"'''Film/INowPronounceYouChuckAndLarry''' is one of the most hypocritical films I've ever seen! This is a film that pays lip service to emoting acceptance of homosexuality and tolerance, but apparently is taking the time to learn that lesson itself. It consistently goes to cheap jokes aimed at the most common denominator at the expense of the very people it puports to help, and as a result, its racial, gender, and sexual politics all feel like they're at least thirty years out of date. It's downright shocking that this was made in 2007! There's no subversion, insight, or wit given to the subject matter, and the film patronises it to compensate. It's all the usual traits in [[Creator/AdamSandler Sandler]]'s work taken to their most offensive extreme. Whilst Kevin James is a likeable lead despite the woeful material, Adam Sandler is as most obnoxiously egotistical with his ladies' man persona feeling like a self-inserted fancy build on insecurity. There's very, very brief glimpses of a smarter film trying to escape, but that's too often snuffed out by tastelessness and deeply lackluster direction, and is way, way too long at nearly two hours! I often found '''Chuck and Larry''' to be deeply unpleasant, and even felt ashamed to be watching it at points. It's '''that''' bad!"''

->''"'''Strange Wilderness''' is basically a celebration of stupid, ignorant people who are too lazy to even make an effort but still feel a sense of entitlement regardless. What little characterization there is, especially the two leads, is annoying and obnoxious. [[WhatTheHellCastingAgency And that's a shame because this is an actually fantastic cast but they're all terrible here]]. Even Steve Zahn resorts to shouting and overacting when he's not coasting, and it squanders his talent. But then again, you can't turn a sow's ear into a purse. Especially when large chunks are clearly improvised with no direction whatsoever. The whole thing looks and feels cheap and ugly, but somehow scenes run too long, even when the film itself barely scrapes 80 minutes. Even if it's a stoner comedy, this is poor stuff because the good ones in this subgenre, your '''{{Harold and Kumar}}s''' and '''[[Creator/CheechAndChong Cheeches and Chongs]]''' are genuinely funny and don't require to be baked to find them so. There's always that old trap of you're enjoying each other's companies so much that it doesn't rub off of the audience, and Justin Long hits that in his sort of defense of the film '''"The first few times I saw it, I loved it. And I don't often see movies that I've done multiple times, but I kept going. [...] And then I saw it once when I wasn't stoned and I was like, woah. This is a mess! This doesn't make a shred of sense! [...] But stoned it's the funniest, and I think I have so much love for it because it's the most fun I've ever had shooting."''' So does it deserve its 0%? It's really, really bad, but it's not quite the same level of agonizingly awful as, say, '''Film/FatSlags''' or '''Film/TheMasterOfDisguise'''. That doesn't mean I recommend the treck by any means."''

->''"Watching '''Lawnmower Man 2''', your mind makes an easy parallel to another infamous sequel, '''Film/HighlanderIITheQuickening'''. The two are very similar in some respects: the baffling dystopian future, the spitting in the face of existing continuity, the endless plotholes, and mincemeat editing that seems to have crucial plot scenes missing. I think the only reason this doesn't share the same notoriety is that luckily, no-one saw it. The film so drastically changes everything, especially the ending from the [[Film/TheLawnmowerMan first movie]], that fans would feel completely alienated, and teenagers will cringe at the lame stereotypes spouting things like "Radical". The acting from them is especially atrocious, but it is in general, from Patrick Bergin's daft "Dances with Wires", to Matt Frewer dusting off '''Series/MaxHeadroom''' for a totally mis-cast toe-curling performance. As a standalone movie, it's still mind-numbing stuff, and come on, they were screwed the moment they started making a sequel to something with a closed ending! It doesn't seem like a movie made by people who even vaguely know computers. The script seems to have been written by taking random phrases out of the glossary of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Internet". Lastly, the CGI effects are a step down from the original despite the obvious technical advances, because at least the first movie was wholy digital rather than the constant shortcuts here making it look worse. Even for 1996, this movie was irrelevant. By today's standards, the technophobia of '''The Lawnmower Man''' movie seems downright quaint. Hell, if Jobe really wanted people to flock to virtual reality, he should've just taken a page out of the modern Internet's book and offered an endless supply of porn! Jacking indeed."''

->''"You can see the seeds of '''Film/TheLoveGuru''' in the '''Film/AustinPowers''' sequels that increasingly relied on crude humor and peens jokes, but this takes it to a whole new level. I hate to place all the blame on Creator/MikeMyers, but when he's the main creative force and is in virtually every scene, it's hard not to. He's downright insufferable in this movie, a giggling nutcase who is so desperate, it makes you wonder if Myers was ever really funny. He's so the center of attention here, that he forgets to give many of his supporting players any material of their own, [[WhatTheHellCastingAgency despite a cast of talented actors and comedians who flail around just as badly]]. [[IdiotPlot The paper-thin plot is simply all about the gags in the movie disregarding logic, sense, or continuity]], which is the crucial context of making them funny. Compounding this is despite Myers' hiatus, many of them are recycled old material from '''Austin Powers''', including Verne Troyer himself, while you're beaten over the head with crass sex jokes over and over, just like all the other lame pieces of humor in this movie, and it makes it seem as though Myers' sense of humor stopped developing at age 10. The worst thing is, this movie sells Myers' talent short as a comedian, and it's so dispiriting because we know he can do so much better. The only real posivite is that at least it's less than ninety minutes, no doubt thanks to some heavy trimming. UK comedian Omid Djalili [[AdvertisedExtra gets prominent billing]] [[DeletedRole despite having all his lines cut in the one scene he appeared in]], and given he was playing Guru Satchabigknoba, I think maybe we should all be thankful for that. All I know is that somewhere in the deepest, darkest pits of Hell, '''this''' and '''Film/TheMasterOfDisguise''' are playing as the most punishing double feature ever made, and if you don't want to take your memory of Mike Myers, stay as away from this as humanly possible!"''

->''"You know, Wesley Snipes is actually right about a lot of [[Film/BladeTrinity this movie]]. David S. Goyer's script for the film is an absolute mess! A bunch of plot points thrown together and often forgotten about for long periods of time with frat boy humour only making things worse. The inclusion of the Nightstalkers, obviously intended to launch a spin-off, hinders the film due to their lack of credibilty, especially Creator/RyanReynolds, [[TheScrappy who I found insufferable]]. Goyer's direction is ropey, and the over-long running time isn't helped by [[{{Padding}} loads of minor scenes that they really just should've cut]]. The inclusion of {{Dracula}} is a disappointment, partly due to the bad writing, and partly due to the fact that Dominic Purcell is a completely charmisa-less block of muscle. Even the action is weak, and it's positively mememic compared to the [[Film/{{Blade}} other]] [[Film/BladeII two]] films. But Snipes himself deserves blame too; his central perfomance brims with obvious disdain for the film, and whilst it wouldn't have been good even on his A-game, he ends up making the film implode around him. Clearly aimed at a younger mainstream audience, '''Blade: Trinity''' is a failure of a climax for fans of two otherwise decent films in this [[Film/BladeTrilogy series]]."''

->''"Finally, a movie that celebrates the cold-blooded slaughter of your enemies. You can see how this might have worked. I mean, the concept has this sense of wish fulfilment. It's hard to get past the bad taste it leaves in the mouth, and the execution here is terrible. It's badly directed and edited, and it looks and feels cheap, wasting most of the cast. The supporting cast only have one or two small scenes to set up their asshole-ness, and then get killed off in ways that aren't funny, as much as the score tells us so. The whole thing, especially the score, looks like it's escaped from the 1970s."''

->''"So that was '''Film/MegaSharkVsGiantOctopus'''. It's got better acting, plot, and effects than '''Film/{{Transmorphers}}''', but that's not really saying much. The film still looks very cheap, the special effects have gone from PS1 to PS2 graphics, and they constantly repeat the [[StockFootage same shots]] over and over again. I swear half the movie is just shots they repeated to pad out the running time. And to be honest, it fails as a BMovie because it [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot fails to live up to its title]]. I'm sorry, but if you're going to name your movie '''Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus''', you damn well better live up to it. Because I'm nice, I will give Creator/TheAsylum a little gold star for attempting to improve, even if their movie is still shit.''

->''"'''Breaking Wind: Part 1''' is one of the worst spoof movies ever made and definitely one of the worst comedies I've seen in general too. [[ShallowParody It has nothing to say about its topic]], which it hates to the point of being dismissive. All the jokes [[DudeNotFunny are below the belt]] and if they thought this was at all edgy or adult, then they should be downright ashamed of themselves. In addition, the terrible direction and acting oversell every single repetitive joke, to the point that it becomes almost unbearable. Craig Moss needs to stay away from doing anymore of these spoof movies, because he's frankly so abysmal that the art of comedy needs to file a restraining order. And really, if you want to laugh at '''Literature/{{Twilight}}''', go watch the first, second, and fifth films since they're pretty much unintentional comedies anyway. All watching this does is award the filmmakers [[TheyJustDidntCare lack of effort]] and encourage them further. And pray they don't make a part two. Or to put it in a way that this movie frankly deserves... (Film Brain starts BlowingARaspberry)"''
