Lol the movie is good If you watch or read the Story you would now the CEOS of Sony wanted Venom and Raimi Not And that plot is added with 2 more villains ruining the Story but not so much for me
@@mr_0n10n5 I love the movie too, it is lots of fun and my only real problem was forcing Venom in there which overcomplicated the plot and the whole romance side wasn't done very well. But nonetheless those two things make the film worse than the previous to the point I would still say the one scene was of a much higher quality for a film that didn't meet expectations
Doom (2005) was absolutely bad cashgrab on a popular video game franchise. But that scene when he wakes up in first-person view and he gets the gun and starts a crazy shootout which imitates the actual games was such a surprise and fan-service moment that I loved it.
and it's a really fun movie to watch as a 'shitty sci-di action comedy' (basically get high as hell and laugh hysterically while watching with friends)
I think it's a very bad scene. When you have to refer directly to the original work, it shows the laziness and lack of cinematographic talent of the director. This scene is also one of the reasons why it is a bad adaptation in addition to being a bad movie.
Fellow Valerian opening sequence enjoyer. That scene honestly made me cry the first time I saw it I thought it was so good. Most first-contact stories are tinged with fear, if not outright violence, so one where all the aliens are happy to meet humanity and work together with us felt unique and honestly heartwarming. Not to mention the sequence before the aliens even show up where the various human nations of the world join up with the station after developing their own successful space programs. It’s a simple scene on paper, but it implies such a wonderfully optimistic view of the future that I can’t help but adore it. Shame it kind of makes the rest of the movie feel worse by comparison. Valerian isn’t unwatchable by any means, but that early peak made me a much harsher judge than I think I would have been otherwise. (Edit: spelling)
That opening and my nostalgia glasses for the 5th Element made me think I was in for something really special... I almost was. Close but no cigar. Feels like the product of studio meddling.
@@bottledwaterprod Having seen much of Luc Besson's work, I think the problem really comes down to him Just Not Being That Good in most aspects of the trade other than visuals, but particularly writing.
The Lone Ranger feels like almost a good movie if everything was 5 inches to the left. It looks like something that will be really fun and funny but is pulling back.
Even the few shots used in this video,... it's like they hired a first year film student as DP. Or idk, kinda looks like it was forcibly (and badly) reframed because of the odd angles and low detail. Maybe they tried doing something stylistically relevant to the western genre by shooting in ultra wide anamorphics, but then the distributor decided they wouldn't pay to print it like that.
I legitimately have used that Hellboy/Abe drunk heartbroken sing-along scene to teach so many film concepts. S tier sfx and world building because you never think about the fact that this is the last son of Atlantis and the key to the apocalypse,... It's just a dude gettin drunk with his bff to help him through a breakup. Pretty much all of us have been on both sides of that situation. Such a genuine human moment that technically contains no humans.
Finally Lone Ranger’s ending getting some recognition. I took my grandpa to see it, because he’s a long time western and Lone Ranger aficcionado. The smile on his face during that final train chase was priceless.
I think a lot of movies that people call "bad" are simply "mediocre." where in reality, they are still fun to watch, but when compared to a lot of other films, falls short. I do think as long as a film is relatively entertaining to watch, then it's not "bad". (Unless it's one of those so bad that it's good situations.)
Not really. There genuinely are just terrible movies. I do enjoy these videos as there can be some good aspects of bad movies, but the bad outweighs the good in every possible way.
Tbh the bar for bad movies has dropped a lot in recent years. Atleast in older movies you could see glimpses of artistry, especially with a lot of practical set pieces. Rushed cgi and lazily adapted source material is very common now by big studios
I second this. I am loving each and every video that's coming out but DAMN are they being made FAST and that could lead to some serious burnout If we have to wait longer for videos to drop, i think we'll be willing to do so, especially if it means preserving both the quality of the videos AND Pancake's mental health--
I'm in agreement here. I'd rather fewer videos that you want to make and be proud of years from now than a ton of content at once and eventually dropping off the face of the earth.
I have not found any proven accusations, so it actually took me out of the video. Hollywood is full of creeps, but so is the internet of stupid people playing court, so it's hard to tell who is right here.
The Lone Ranger was an atrocious film, but I have to say the bit near the end where the Ranger says the famous Hi-ho Silver line, only for it to hard-cut to Johnny Depp telling him to cut that shit out lives in my head rent free. Great video!
Some of my favorites: Spider-Man 3: When Sandman first comes to after being transformed and doesn’t know how to keep himself in one piece. The emotion and tragedy conveyed without saying anything is breathtaking. Oz the Great & Powerful: When he goes to that shattered down and helps the broken doll walk again. Despite the movie being… bad, this scene does have a sort of gentle whimsy to it that I often think of.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen has to be my guilty pleasure movie. But it’s bc I love movies that collect a bunch of distinct characters as a party. And then honestly all of the fight scenes, the Nautilus, and captain Nemo himself are so visually appealing and entertaining

In the Last Jedi, when Poe and the crew are about give up hope and accept defeat but then all the ships from all over the galaxy appear at once. Thats a really awesome scene in a mediocre film.
A shame, really, since I consider the Fifth Element to be my favorite movie. I had no idea to be honest, though when I saw the 25th anniversary rerelease in theaters, I got bad vibes from Luc during the little "history of the film" documentary they did at the beginning.

@@TheMightyPikaIn cases where the creator gets residuals for streams and physical sales it's literally impossible to separate art from artist because you're giving them money, supporting them financially. Obviously, if they're dead or you pirate the media in question a separation can be said to exist.
I don't think I resent finishing any movie as much as I resent finishing Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. If it would just have committed to sucking. But no, it's this really uneven mix for at least 4/5ths of the film, and when it's good it's very very good and when it's bad it's horrid. I wound up fast forwarding a bunch of the ending. Props to you for showing enough of the scene with the hat to make those of us who watched go "Oh yes," without spoiling just how weird and wonderful it is in full. It's one of those moments I went, "Okay fine, I'll keep watching."
I’ve been searching for World’s Greatest Dad for ages because I knew it existed but could never find it as I saw it on TV one time. Props to you for unlocking a memory
I’d love a part 2! Such a fun video! I haven’t thought about Valerian and the city of a thousand planets in a long time but as soon as you said the name I remembered the opening because it was the first time I’d ever heard space oddity. What a blast from the past, I was a kid when I saw it in theaters!
OKAY just finished the video, my turn. In the movie PRIEST (2011), I LOOOVE the part when Karl Urban's character takes over the little town, and this huge orchestral song (Dies Irae by Mozart??) plays while the vampire creatures tear the town apart and he's dancing in the middle of the dirt road. It's corny but fun, fun, fun. A similar scene would be the town take over in 30 Days of Night. I don't think that movie is bad, but a little underrated. And finally, the scene when the mist appears in the beginning of The Mist (2007). The tension of the sirens going off while that one character runs toward the store with the bloody nose. The use of the handheld camera and the patrons reactions and confusion is really tense. Loved this video! Hopefully you get what I mean but- I LOVE SCENES! Love a good scene.
Probably my favourite "good moment in a bad movie" is in 2024's Garfield movie In the scene where Garfield is trying to live his life like normal, theres this absolutrly incredible shift in tone where usually wacky and vibrant colours and lighting suddenly shift to something far more realistic as Garfield gets a revelation surrounding his father. Its a really unexoected bit of cinematic storytelling which fascinates me since it feels so tonally unique compared to the rest of the film
Thinking about this one I would say the train crash in Super 8 is one of those things that sticks out in my mind. I haven't seen it in years but at the time it was one of those moments that went on for like waaaaay too long in reality but watching it is such a great visual and auditory experience that I still remember it to this day despite how mid the rest of the movie is
This is a great shout, if I would've thought of it it probably would have made the cut but for a totally different scene. I've always found the ending where he *SPOILERS* lets go of the locket to be affecting but thats mostly due to Giacchino's score being so good probably
A lot of the visual elements within Alien: Resurrection is a huge thing I enjoy, but the scene where they are swimming away from Xenomorphs is especially spectacular in my eyes. I know the film is lauded within the series, but I find it to be a fun watch, especially when watched through the lens that it is an absurdist French New-Wave gothic comedy.
Pancake my love, could you put chapter breaks in your timeline for your vids? it make it easier to screen for spoilers and is generally just good practiice. Also, remember to breathe while narrating my guy
Thanks! I did put them but it seems like they werent popping up, I reformated it & they're showing now for lemme know if it's still not working on y'alls end
Wow. The more of these types of videos I watch, the more I learn that I have rarely seen a bad movie or even movies in general. Honestly, wish I would watch more.
I think the Creator also had some other really good Moments, like for example the bomb Robot or some of the Robot familys and the death of his wive, but maybe i also just love John David Washington, Yeah it’s probably that
The Creator was fantastic I thought. Not necessarily award winning, but it had super smooth CGI that wasn't really noticeable with the practical elements being used so well.
There’s this movie I personally love, but I’ve heard a lot of people call it bad and it didn’t get particularly good ratings; Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium. There’s this one scene in the movie where Mr. Magorium (in this kids movie) talks about death. It’s quite an interesting scene and it does a good job of talking about the concept to a young audience. If you search the movie’s title plus shoes you’ll find it.
thats the one where they had to gut the whole film because Heath Ledger died, it's an absolute clusterfuck. Terry Gilliam wildness, replacing the lead with 3 other actors for large sections. However, in keeping with the theme of Pancakes' video, Tom Waits' performance as THE DEVIL iin that movie is fantastic. In fact didn't pancake do a video on depictions of satan? I'm not sure that one made the cut.
I LOOOOVE HELLBOY II!! I was OBSSESSED as a kid. The second opening scene (after baby Hellboy's little scene) with Prince Nuada (?? I THINK that's his name? middle school crush) and the releasing of the tooth fairies UMPH that scene is SO sick, I go back to it every now and then.
Considering that Valerian was heavily based on work by a genuinely beloved genius, I'm not really surprised that you can keep coming back to find snippets of the movie worth caring about, it's just kind of a testament to how hard it is to turn things into movies. I wonder if the movie still flops if you wave a magic wand and the casting is better, since everyone blames the casting as a big issue.
I was absolutely sure what in the Creator segment you will talk about a moment where bomber bot goes "Goodbye mam, its been a pleasure to serve you", that was THE moment for me
The quality and upload speed of these videos is so top tier. This channel's gonna blow up soon, I hope you have a looooong list of ideas and aren't burning through them too fast because I think you have some serious staying power.
dead man's bones shoutout! the project was initially intended as a stage play, but it really is such a fantastic album. a great listen for spooky season.
My favourite part of the creator is the scenes with the space station scanning the ground. It’s just so chilling and the fact that they are all silent it’s almost like a horror scene. Just seeing the light move across is again just so chilling
OH also I would like to beg for more fargo material I was so excited to see you mention it in your depictions of the devil video and would love to hear you talk more about it if it’s something you’d be interested in making!
Calling Valerian a bad movie feels woefully wrong to me. It has too many great visuals and great moments to be considered "bad" overall for a lacking plot and a some disappointing moments. I would say it's probably average. Overall through its whole runtime it kept me consistently engaged and in awe marveling at the world, but I am personally biased in favor of science fiction and willfully chose to remain immersed. Also, I liked seeing Dane DeHaan as the lead in a space opera. Anything with him makes stuff feel more real because it feels more human seeing his awkward neurodivergent aura in those positions. Also the imperfect chemistry between the leads added to the film for me. I like it when romance feels imperfect and visceral. Watching them fumble around together and interact feels awkward, but I never viewed it as a shortcoming. To me it made it feel more authentic like I was seeing two people interact when I shouldnt have been seeing it. Like I was watching some strange nontypical couple through a bedroom window. Definitely uncomfortable, but it didn't feel unreal or disingenuous to me, was just visceral. Sort of like having two friends engage in slightly too much PDA, or laugh too hard at an inside joke that doesnt seem that funny. However, I wanted to like the movie when watching it and a lot of people can't allow themselves to be immersed when something feels awkward or a plot point falls flat in some way. The imperfections made it feel more real to me which is an incredible undertone in a space opera juxtaposed to all the unbelievable action and size and stakes of the world and story. \ If you constantly remind yourself that you are watching a movie, and analyzing the plot, or being critical of how actors engage... you choose to fundamentally miss out on what I strtive to be the first objective of watching a movie, which is to consume it as intended. You are meant to immerse yourself and choose to believe that what is happening is real (which isn't always the intention of media). If you don't watch a movie as it is intended to be watched, you are missing a key part. Why choose to watch a movie in a way that makes you enjoy it less? I can't imagine how someone could fully appreciate the new Dune movies if you fixate on the pacing issues, the poor dialogue, lack of character development, or the deviations from the source material. I personally believe Denis Villeneuve did a phenomenal job, and is a better film then Valerian. However, I do believe it could be validly attacked and regarded as bad if you willfully choose to ignore the great things about it and under acknowledge the creation and delivery of the world
First one that comes to mind is The Empty Man's scene where the main character is hiding in the dark from this strange cult ritual and then it suddenly stops and they're all looking at him. Phenomenally well done in a messy pointless movie.
There is another interesting scene in ghost ship that stick with me, that's when the ship finally sank and you can see all the ghost swimming up and finally free. In Netflix's Death note, I love how Ryuk warned Light about writing his name on the book and the most letter one was able to put was two.
I've always been a huge fan of the vs Medusa setpiece in the clash of the titans remake. The whole action scene is just done so well, has stuck with me ever since I was a child
@@nathantowns1999 I'll defend Bram Stokers Dracula with it's one true flaw being Jonathan played by Keanu Reeves which sucks because I love Keanu Reeves and I love Jonathan
God, I wish there was more good Hellboy media. The comics and Del Toros original duo are sooo important to me, in an almost indescribable way. Theres so much potential in the universe and characters, and its just been squandered over and over again. There are at least 3 video games and they're all laughably bad, and the less said about the 2019 reboot the better. I havent seen the crooked man yet, but i really hope its good. My boy deserves better
One of my favourite scenes in a bad movie is probably Spy Kids 4 It ends with the villain succeeding and going back in time to be with his father, only to return an old man. It's kinda heartbreaking to see that, no matter what, his dad still died and there was nothing he could do.
I would volunteer, also from the Death Note movie, the introduction of Ryuk. I read the whole manga and didn't mind the movie doing its own thing, but I also don't remember much about it. My overall memory is positive though just based on the design, voice, and humor of Ryuk. "No shark attacks on the toilet, funny as that would be." The scene in that recent Tarzan movie that was so forgettable, where he shows a child his long hands. There really is a woman whose growth plates fused longer because she spent so much time climbing trees with monkeys as a child in Africa. Great detail to include. The "classical music" scene in one of those the new Star Trek movies. Into Darkness, I think. Wouldn't call them bad but they just don't grip me like the older shows. Not even a fan of the Beasty Boys but the line delivery of "Is that classical music?" made that scene both incredibly funny and enjoyably action-packed.
Something I would have added to this video is the constructicons combining into devastator in transformers revenge of the fallen, or the forest fight scene from the same film. Peak of CGI.
One "good moment in bad movies" I would say in recent memory is the introduction scene of the Sandersons as Teenagers in Hocus Pocus 2. Watching that beginning scene, I was like, "why isn't this the movie?" When they bring it to present day just made it all go down the toilet.
When I was a kid I loved those bigfoot shows on the discovery channel and I remember one night my family and I were watching some sort of Bigfoot documentary on the tv and the ending freaked me out so bad. I never remembered the name of it and I kind of thought I had imagined it, but it was definitely willow creek. As a child I didn’t understand found footage horror so I thought it was real lol
Ohh wow, good timing. This video popped up in my recommended just a day after I watched Ghost Ship for the first time. I don't know if I've just seen too much shit but I don't think I would call it "bad" haha I agree about the opening sequence though. Really caught me off guard. Loved the video and subscribed :)
For me it's the other way around. I really enjoyed the majority of the film because of the characters, the interpersonal relationships, and the humour, but then it blows it at the end because *SPOILERS*................................................................................... how was the footage recovered, seriously? I don't mind found footage in and of itself. At best it's an integral part of the story. In most cases the film could just as easily have been shot traditionally without using found footage but it's fine (the first 95 % of The Borderlands) At worst the found aspect trips over its own feet and sets up an impossible scenario that makes you wonder how on earth the footage could have been recovered at all (the last 5 % of The Borderlands).
finding out Luc Besson was a massive creep a couple years back was such a weird experience. also finding out the ymade a horror version of Arthur and the Invisibles
I got so hyped at the mention of 'Ghost Ship', because it is a truly terrible movie with so many twists there is barely a coherent plot, but I adore watching it under the lens of 'supernatural horror comedy', and still think that the opening sequence is peak cinema
I'd have put the birth of Sandman on this list from Spiderman 3

A shame, really, since I consider the Fifth Element to be my favorite movie.
I had no idea to be honest, though when I saw the 25th anniversary rerelease in theaters, I got bad vibes from Luc during the little "history of the film" documentary they did at the beginning.
@@stephenhoward4402 in the case of Fifth Element I think it's safe to separate the art from the artist.
@@stephenhoward4402 _Chinatown_ is an all-time classic film that everyone needs to see at least once. Roman Polanski belongs in jail. Both of these statements are true.
@@dwc1964I still remember the letdown I had after watching Rosemary’s Baby, searching up its history, and then learning about its director. And then it hit rock bottom when I learned that over 150 film industry professionals, plenty of whom I respect for their craft, signed a petition to just excuse him for the crime he committed.
@@TheMightyPikaIn cases where the creator gets residuals for streams and physical sales it's literally impossible to separate art from artist because you're giving them money, supporting them financially. Obviously, if they're dead or you pirate the media in question a separation can be said to exist.
I don't think I resent finishing any movie as much as I resent finishing Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. If it would just have committed to sucking. But no, it's this really uneven mix for at least 4/5ths of the film, and when it's good it's very very good and when it's bad it's horrid. I wound up fast forwarding a bunch of the ending.
Props to you for showing enough of the scene with the hat to make those of us who watched go "Oh yes," without spoiling just how weird and wonderful it is in full. It's one of those moments I went, "Okay fine, I'll keep watching."
the intro to Valerian goes so hard. It really is the only thing I remember about that film though, but it forever changed how I perceive space oddity
I’ve been searching for World’s Greatest Dad for ages because I knew it existed but could never find it as I saw it on TV one time. Props to you for unlocking a memory
Thank you for talking about Ghost Ship's opening, it's lived rent free in my head for decades now.
I’d love a part 2! Such a fun video! I haven’t thought about Valerian and the city of a thousand planets in a long time but as soon as you said the name I remembered the opening because it was the first time I’d ever heard space oddity. What a blast from the past, I was a kid when I saw it in theaters!
OKAY just finished the video, my turn. In the movie PRIEST (2011), I LOOOVE the part when Karl Urban's character takes over the little town, and this huge orchestral song (Dies Irae by Mozart??) plays while the vampire creatures tear the town apart and he's dancing in the middle of the dirt road. It's corny but fun, fun, fun.
A similar scene would be the town take over in 30 Days of Night. I don't think that movie is bad, but a little underrated. And finally, the scene when the mist appears in the beginning of The Mist (2007). The tension of the sirens going off while that one character runs toward the store with the bloody nose. The use of the handheld camera and the patrons reactions and confusion is really tense.
Loved this video! Hopefully you get what I mean but- I LOVE SCENES! Love a good scene.
Valerian has my favourite intro ever with the montage of the ISS over time. It's just such a hopeful glimpse of an alternative future.
Probably my favourite "good moment in a bad movie" is in 2024's Garfield movie
In the scene where Garfield is trying to live his life like normal, theres this absolutrly incredible shift in tone where usually wacky and vibrant colours and lighting suddenly shift to something far more realistic as Garfield gets a revelation surrounding his father.
Its a really unexoected bit of cinematic storytelling which fascinates me since it feels so tonally unique compared to the rest of the film
I guarantee you the pitch for Johnny Depp in brownface was simply, "What if Jack Sparrow, but on a train?"
i think a video about your favorite trailers would be cool. love the videos, man, keep it up 🩷
Thinking about this one I would say the train crash in Super 8 is one of those things that sticks out in my mind. I haven't seen it in years but at the time it was one of those moments that went on for like waaaaay too long in reality but watching it is such a great visual and auditory experience that I still remember it to this day despite how mid the rest of the movie is
This is a great shout, if I would've thought of it it probably would have made the cut but for a totally different scene. I've always found the ending where he *SPOILERS* lets go of the locket to be affecting but thats mostly due to Giacchino's score being so good probably
@@PancakeOnUA-cam Fuck that's a really good one lmao
Holy crap! You absolutely nailed it. Hellboy (2019) is litererally one of my favorite movies just for that scene alone. This video is super relatable.
Thank you YES!! I’ve been preaching that Lone Ranger sequence for YEARS.
A lot of the visual elements within Alien: Resurrection is a huge thing I enjoy, but the scene where they are swimming away from Xenomorphs is especially spectacular in my eyes. I know the film is lauded within the series, but I find it to be a fun watch, especially when watched through the lens that it is an absurdist French New-Wave gothic comedy.
Pancake my love, could you put chapter breaks in your timeline for your vids? it make it easier to screen for spoilers and is generally just good practiice.
Also, remember to breathe while narrating my guy
Thanks! I did put them but it seems like they werent popping up, I reformated it & they're showing now for lemme know if it's still not working on y'alls end
Your videos are fire! Here's a suggestion: best on-screen romances or maybe rivalries?
18:06 Dawg you are pushing UA-cam’s boundaries 😭🙏
Wow. The more of these types of videos I watch, the more I learn that I have rarely seen a bad movie or even movies in general.
Honestly, wish I would watch more.
I think the Creator also had some other really good Moments, like for example the bomb Robot or some of the Robot familys and the death of his wive, but maybe i also just love John David Washington, Yeah it’s probably that
The Creator was fantastic I thought. Not necessarily award winning, but it had super smooth CGI that wasn't really noticeable with the practical elements being used so well.
I love it. the radiohead sequence is one of my favorites.
the whole movie just hits me in the feels man
this was such a good video i had to subscribe! i love the way you talk about things
Very specific, but I love the spoiler warnings in your videos. It's like viewing a menu and then getting to taste all of the options
Every time someone says the word "market" I can't not think of the guy yelling "BIG MARKET!"
I cannot believe you have put the Creator and Hellboy II here. I love both these films
There’s this movie I personally love, but I’ve heard a lot of people call it bad and it didn’t get particularly good ratings; Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium. There’s this one scene in the movie where Mr. Magorium (in this kids movie) talks about death. It’s quite an interesting scene and it does a good job of talking about the concept to a young audience. If you search the movie’s title plus shoes you’ll find it.
thats the one where they had to gut the whole film because Heath Ledger died, it's an absolute clusterfuck. Terry Gilliam wildness, replacing the lead with 3 other actors for large sections.
However, in keeping with the theme of Pancakes' video, Tom Waits' performance as THE DEVIL iin that movie is fantastic. In fact didn't pancake do a video on depictions of satan? I'm not sure that one made the cut.
I love how the creator's good scene is only here because of radiohead's everything in it's right place, which is completely justified.
Fantastic intro!! Loved all the editing choices!
10:05 "I could also describe the writing as computer generated." Made me laugh _so_ hard.🤣🤣🤣🤣
I LOOOOVE HELLBOY II!! I was OBSSESSED as a kid. The second opening scene (after baby Hellboy's little scene) with Prince Nuada (?? I THINK that's his name? middle school crush) and the releasing of the tooth fairies UMPH that scene is SO sick, I go back to it every now and then.
Congrats on the growth man great videos and an incredibly pivot in content. Really glad your devil vids blew up so you got recommended
Considering that Valerian was heavily based on work by a genuinely beloved genius, I'm not really surprised that you can keep coming back to find snippets of the movie worth caring about, it's just kind of a testament to how hard it is to turn things into movies. I wonder if the movie still flops if you wave a magic wand and the casting is better, since everyone blames the casting as a big issue.
The Golden Army is a damn MASTERpiece!
I was absolutely sure what in the Creator segment you will talk about a moment where bomber bot goes "Goodbye mam, its been a pleasure to serve you", that was THE moment for me
The quality and upload speed of these videos is so top tier. This channel's gonna blow up soon, I hope you have a looooong list of ideas and aren't burning through them too fast because I think you have some serious staying power.
dead man's bones shoutout! the project was initially intended as a stage play, but it really is such a fantastic album. a great listen for spooky season.
The Creator's plot is in my opinion fairly boring, but its visuals are absolutely gorgeous.
Great video and the intro was amazing!
My favourite part of the creator is the scenes with the space station scanning the ground. It’s just so chilling and the fact that they are all silent it’s almost like a horror scene. Just seeing the light move across is again just so chilling
OH also I would like to beg for more fargo material I was so excited to see you mention it in your depictions of the devil video and would love to hear you talk more about it if it’s something you’d be interested in making!
Calling Valerian a bad movie feels woefully wrong to me. It has too many great visuals and great moments to be considered "bad" overall for a lacking plot and a some disappointing moments. I would say it's probably average. Overall through its whole runtime it kept me consistently engaged and in awe marveling at the world, but I am personally biased in favor of science fiction and willfully chose to remain immersed.
Also, I liked seeing Dane DeHaan as the lead in a space opera. Anything with him makes stuff feel more real because it feels more human seeing his awkward neurodivergent aura in those positions. Also the imperfect chemistry between the leads added to the film for me. I like it when romance feels imperfect and visceral. Watching them fumble around together and interact feels awkward, but I never viewed it as a shortcoming. To me it made it feel more authentic like I was seeing two people interact when I shouldnt have been seeing it. Like I was watching some strange nontypical couple through a bedroom window. Definitely uncomfortable, but it didn't feel unreal or disingenuous to me, was just visceral. Sort of like having two friends engage in slightly too much PDA, or laugh too hard at an inside joke that doesnt seem that funny.
However, I wanted to like the movie when watching it and a lot of people can't allow themselves to be immersed when something feels awkward or a plot point falls flat in some way. The imperfections made it feel more real to me which is an incredible undertone in a space opera juxtaposed to all the unbelievable action and size and stakes of the world and story. \
If you constantly remind yourself that you are watching a movie, and analyzing the plot, or being critical of how actors engage... you choose to fundamentally miss out on what I strtive to be the first objective of watching a movie, which is to consume it as intended. You are meant to immerse yourself and choose to believe that what is happening is real (which isn't always the intention of media). If you don't watch a movie as it is intended to be watched, you are missing a key part. Why choose to watch a movie in a way that makes you enjoy it less? I can't imagine how someone could fully appreciate the new Dune movies if you fixate on the pacing issues, the poor dialogue, lack of character development, or the deviations from the source material. I personally believe Denis Villeneuve did a phenomenal job, and is a better film then Valerian. However, I do believe it could be validly attacked and regarded as bad if you willfully choose to ignore the great things about it and under acknowledge the creation and delivery of the world
The opening scene of Ghost Ship is legendary
First one that comes to mind is The Empty Man's scene where the main character is hiding in the dark from this strange cult ritual and then it suddenly stops and they're all looking at him. Phenomenally well done in a messy pointless movie.
Yayyy some positivity when talking about media truly unheard of
There is another interesting scene in ghost ship that stick with me, that's when the ship finally sank and you can see all the ghost swimming up and finally free. In Netflix's Death note, I love how Ryuk warned Light about writing his name on the book and the most letter one was able to put was two.
I love finding the gems in the trash. That's why my fave animated joke is in Planes 2 and Planes 1 is one of my faves movie
I've always been a huge fan of the vs Medusa setpiece in the clash of the titans remake. The whole action scene is just done so well, has stuck with me ever since I was a child
amazing work!! you could do a “best moment in bad horror” easily
this is a dope video and idea man keep it up
Such a good vid, please do a part 2
Personally, I'd like to see best depictions of angels/demons. But I'll take whatever you give. Keep up the good work.
We need bad moments in great movies next
The spoiler warning segment is really cool
Gary Oldman's eyes peering out of a blood red sky as Harker travels to the castle in Bram Stoker's Dracula is one of these moments.
That’s a great movie with one really bad actor (at least a badly cast one)
@@nathantowns1999 I'll defend Bram Stokers Dracula with it's one true flaw being Jonathan played by Keanu Reeves which sucks because I love Keanu Reeves and I love Jonathan
Third good video in a row? Yup! You’ve got yourself a new sub. :D Also, I agreed with everyone else: please don’t burn yourself out. 😅
I loved the demon designs so much that it made getting to the end of Hellboy worth it. But I'll never watch it again
BRO THE CREATOR WAS FUCKING AWESOME THE CGI WAS SO UNBELIEVABLY GOOD
God, I wish there was more good Hellboy media. The comics and Del Toros original duo are sooo important to me, in an almost indescribable way. Theres so much potential in the universe and characters, and its just been squandered over and over again. There are at least 3 video games and they're all laughably bad, and the less said about the 2019 reboot the better. I havent seen the crooked man yet, but i really hope its good. My boy deserves better
The Crooked is fine, but i won't say its good
One of my favourite scenes in a bad movie is probably Spy Kids 4
It ends with the villain succeeding and going back in time to be with his father, only to return an old man. It's kinda heartbreaking to see that, no matter what, his dad still died and there was nothing he could do.
I would volunteer, also from the Death Note movie, the introduction of Ryuk. I read the whole manga and didn't mind the movie doing its own thing, but I also don't remember much about it. My overall memory is positive though just based on the design, voice, and humor of Ryuk. "No shark attacks on the toilet, funny as that would be."
The scene in that recent Tarzan movie that was so forgettable, where he shows a child his long hands. There really is a woman whose growth plates fused longer because she spent so much time climbing trees with monkeys as a child in Africa. Great detail to include.
The "classical music" scene in one of those the new Star Trek movies. Into Darkness, I think. Wouldn't call them bad but they just don't grip me like the older shows. Not even a fan of the Beasty Boys but the line delivery of "Is that classical music?" made that scene both incredibly funny and enjoyably action-packed.
Something I would have added to this video is the constructicons combining into devastator in transformers revenge of the fallen, or the forest fight scene from the same film. Peak of CGI.
One "good moment in bad movies" I would say in recent memory is the introduction scene of the Sandersons as Teenagers in Hocus Pocus 2. Watching that beginning scene, I was like, "why isn't this the movie?" When they bring it to present day just made it all go down the toilet.
I loved the opening Bank Heist sequence from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. The film peaked there.
id definitely like to add event horizon to this list, theres a bite of something in that movie when it starts to get under your skin
1000%!!!
Best movie to watch in the Dark~
When I was a kid I loved those bigfoot shows on the discovery channel and I remember one night my family and I were watching some sort of Bigfoot documentary on the tv and the ending freaked me out so bad. I never remembered the name of it and I kind of thought I had imagined it, but it was definitely willow creek. As a child I didn’t understand found footage horror so I thought it was real lol
Ohh wow, good timing. This video popped up in my recommended just a day after I watched Ghost Ship for the first time. I don't know if I've just seen too much shit but I don't think I would call it "bad" haha
I agree about the opening sequence though. Really caught me off guard.
Loved the video and subscribed :)
2013's The Borderlands is the one that jumped to mind. The movie is so middle of the road, but the ending sequence under the Church really jolted me.
For me it's the other way around. I really enjoyed the majority of the film because of the characters, the interpersonal relationships, and the humour, but then it blows it at the end because *SPOILERS*................................................................................... how was the footage recovered, seriously? I don't mind found footage in and of itself. At best it's an integral part of the story. In most cases the film could just as easily have been shot traditionally without using found footage but it's fine (the first 95 % of The Borderlands)
At worst the found aspect trips over its own feet and sets up an impossible scenario that makes you wonder how on earth the footage could have been recovered at all (the last 5 % of The Borderlands).
Sick video man 🙏
finding out Luc Besson was a massive creep a couple years back was such a weird experience. also finding out the ymade a horror version of Arthur and the Invisibles
"pitch black comedy" is perfect for World's Greatest Dad
Maybe a hot take but I really like the creator, the setting was super creative and generally just had my attention all the way through
I think it's kinda crazy that Verbinski went from a beautiful, deep, meaningful masterpeice like Rango to... well... The Lone Ranger.
I got so hyped at the mention of 'Ghost Ship', because it is a truly terrible movie with so many twists there is barely a coherent plot, but I adore watching it under the lens of 'supernatural horror comedy', and still think that the opening sequence is peak cinema
Ghost ship used to play frequently on tv when i was a kid, man i haven't seen it ever since
The Hellboy (2019) Blood-C scene would’ve been so much more horrific if it were attached to a passable movie.
