yeah but so many elements of Logan are just dumb. -It's an established plot of the xmen series that Logan can survive with just his adamantium skeleton as shown in scenes of the future in the 90's Xmen series. His adamantium isn't killing him. -stopping humanities ability to mutate would make humanity extinct fairly quickly (generations but still), it's part of how the immune system works. Basically viruses would win the arm race and everyone dies of sickness. so no one should be dumb enough to try it and still know how. -not everyone eats from supermarkets so farmers, hippy communes, other countries where American companies don't rain supreme etc would still have a normal mutation rate and so Americans would stop the stupid plan due to losing the mutant arms race. No Logan and his brother winning your wars with no mutants.
the high ground thing still makes sense. that's why Obi Wan says, "don't try it." like, don't try to do what I did, because I got lucky that time. Maul's arrogance got him killed.
Think about this: Some of the largest big bads that Obi-Wan defeated, he did so from the low ground. Darth Maul- Dangling over a ledge, flips over Maul's head, ends his leg having career. General Grievous- Dangling over a ledge, flips over Grievous, cooks him most uncivily. Either Anakin's problem is that he didn't start by dangling off that floating barge, that Obi-Wan never told him the stories of how he won (or trained Anakin to do the same), or that all Maul and Grievous had to do was 🎶loodle-loodle🎶 their lightsabers around in the air to defeat the move. Also, doesn't hurt that Obi-Wan knows the move and, likewise, the best way to "disarm" the move should anyone try it against him
Um, he has plenty of friends, including everybody watching this, duh. And if you're gonna criticize his choices, at least call Butler The Phantom (of the Opera). I AM READY FOR YOUR HAAAAATTTEEEEE
He also didn't have a lightsaber at the moment he jumped so Maul didn't see any threat, he had just killed a Jedi master and now had to deal with his padawan, while in the second fight Kenobi knew exactly the extent of Anakin's power (making the "you underestimate my power line kinda stupid..... good meme though). Maul lost because he was overconfident. As did Anakin.
The thing about Logan and Victor always going to war is sort of answered in a Wolverine comic. A pseudo-vampire was searching for a cure and was to use the blood of an immortal. he asked were do I find an immortal and was told they go to war. "Every man wants most what he cannot have, even if its death."
That's what makes him a mutant. Normal Canadians are not capable of moving to other countries, because we can't photosynthesize in a different climate.
So glad Reign of Fire made this list. I totally forgot about about the Star Wars play! Frankly, everything this movie does wrong I forgive because they fight dragons by having people skydive from helicopters as bait.
I love Reign of Fire. Such a brilliant premise , great action scenes, and it was the movie that made me think, this Christian. Bale guy would make an amazing Batman.
If everyone there truly does have this vocabulary/intonation, could you imagine being in the cafeteria during lunch and listening to their conversation? It would literally be maddening. As in, you would literally go insane before you finished your tuna melt.
Godzilla walked over the isthmus of Panama and left footprints, right? The "your standing in it" line? I always thought that was a clever fix to get him on the east coast.
John Williams' "Duel of Fates" was the best thing to come from Star War Episode I: The Phantom Menace. The final fight seen was well choreographed and as you mentioned took the lightsaber battles to a new height but there were times during the fight that the scene looked choreographed. You could see Ray Park waiting for contact to be made before continuing with the next move, and it didn't seem fluid. Still much better than the Obi Wan and Darth Vader fight from the original Star Wars.
How does he not mention the amazing reactions from the kids during the star wars reeinactment. The look of utter shock on their little faces when bale goes "I AM YOUR FATHER" cracks me up every time lol It's probably exactly how I looked the first time I saw that scene
Abrahan curvelo I think he could pull off a Bruce Wayne similar to Ben Affleck's or even a little lighter kind of like Christian Bale. Most of the movie he'd probably be in the cowl anyway.
The producer of the Dredd TV series they're making is apparently in talks with Karl Urban to come back as Dredd, but they're going to have to work with his schedule.
Come on. In Godzilla the "Coffee-scene" is the best. "No croissant?" "No" "Arrgh, you call this coffee?" "No, I call this America". At least in Europe the whole cinema was laughing...
"There's no way he [Godzilla] could have gotten there without swimming through the Panama Canal..." A. Did that movie even claim that Godzilla had been sighted before in Japan? B. So you're claiming that this gargantuan Amphibious/reptilian monster COULD swim the span of the Pacific Ocean, but it would be impossible for it to swim around Africa? Please stop making me defend bad movies, Cracked... please.
GrapplingIgnorance the scene in the beginning with the old man. He's clearly recalling something he saw or was told about. and he's japanese. but I agree on the second part.
He could also swim around South America. It'd be fairly easy, too, since the Pacific is constantly draining into the Atlantic. I never saw that Godzilla, though. We are talking about the 2000 era one, right?
i think how much u enjoyed "Doom" depends on age. if you grew up with 8 bit doom on Nintendo its awesome but if you grew up with quake it sucks loved doom by the way
the FPS-scene is the reason to watch the movie. It's like "Napoleon Dynamite" or "Some Like it Hot", the entire film slowly builds up to one really great punchline.
In line with this premise I'd like to nominate the scene in Spider-Man 2 where Spider-Man is trying to stop the high jacking of an armoured truck full of nuclear somethings while on the phone with Gwen trying to explain that he's running late and is stuck in traffic. It was so perfectly what Spider-Man should be and belonged in a great Spider-Man movie. Unfortunately it was in Amazing Spider-Man 2 instead.
TailAbNormal Because Episode 3 tries to make you believe that standing a little higher on a gentle slope is a totally unsurmountable advantage in a fight, when characters have overcome much more severe disadvantages in previous movies.
BIll Volk Except it doesn't. He's not saying "I have the high ground, therefore I automatically win", he's saying "I've been in your exact situation before, so don't think I don't know what you're about to do."
VonShnitzel You're giving Lucas waaaay too much credit there. What Obi-Wan says is "It's over, Anakin. I have the high ground." He does not say "It's over, Anakin. I have mastered the technique of swinging up at a guy jumping over me."
Vikki DC Yeah, I'm so glad the prequels ignored things like emotion, characters, and plot during their lightsaber fights so they could focus on what's really important... good fight choreography.
In my experience us millennials generally like the prequel trilogy, it's the old geezers who whine and complain about them. Then again, in my experience, most millenials can't think for themselves, and I am watching cracked...
I don't think you mean millennials. Millennials are getting quite old now, ranging from the mid 20s to the early 40s. Very few people over the age of 25 like the prequels.
"There's no way he could have gotten there without swimming through the Panama Canal" What about how ships did it, pre Panama Canal? The long way around.
Blah Sargent is talking on this... He is so lame. Fun fact he wants to become a dog wearing sunglasses. Get him a flea collar for his birthday. He will love you forever. True story.
I actually liked the 2. And 3. Star wars movie, not for their acting and their writing, but for the political and personal themes and the premise (seriously, I would pay for them to be redone with minor changes in dialouge and other actors)
To be completely honest, the prequels could have been salvaged almost entirely if they just cast an actually good actor to play Anakin in Eps 2 and 3. Hayden Christenson sunk the entire prequel trilogy singlehandedly as far as I'm concerned. From a writing perspective, Eps 2 and 3 were much better than 1
Uh, no. He was never nominated for a BAFTA (Ewen McGreggor was though), and the one and only film that got him universal praise was "Life as a House (2001)". Since then, he's been nominated for Razzie Awards four times and won twice. Even allowing all that, good actors can still have bad performances. You wanna see a talented actor, look at Natalie Portman in virtually every film she's been in - she put him to shame in virtually every scene they shared. But then if you think HC's a good actor, I doubt you could appreciate good acting even if you saw it.
"You wanna see a talented actor, look at Natalie Portman in virtually every film she's been in - she put him to shame in virtually every scene they shared." Proof that wasn't that much the actors' fault but the terrible script and direction. Go and see how actors performed in A New Hope. Not that great either. Mostly because George Lucas can't direct actors.
#1. He says this is the closest representation of every bar brawl I've ever seen. So you've never been in or witnessed a fight in real life is what you're telling us.
and this is why I dont watch cracked anymore the way all the hosts talk is extremely annoying... was hoping this one would be different since it's a new guy that I've never seen before but nope guess not
PbG1989 Why is everybody being a baby about the way the hosts talk? Am I the only one who watches these things for the actual talking points and content? And plus, if this is annoying to you then I imagine you don't get out and meet other people enough... It's nerdy but barely provoking.
Jazzymon sorry that I don't share ur opinion... and yea ur right I don't go out at all! I stay inside my house all day long, and don't do anything not a damn thing. in fact if it wasn't for UA-cam I wouldn't even know what another human looked like.. it's amazing how u were able to tell that just by me saying I don't like how these hosts do their videos
I think it's hilarious that Obi-wan is able to leap through the air, vaulted with only his arm strength and a bit of a push from the force (more to guide than anything), and strike a deadly blow in flight. then Anakin, apparently never having seen this happen, expects to be able to vault over Obi-wan and not get sliced in half. Obi-wan may not have consular-level force power, but he really was a badass with a lightsaber.
I had a long moment trying to figure out what the hell he was bleeping, and then I remembered I'm Australian and it's borderline a term of endearment here.
I will have to grudgingly agree that episode 1 has the best lightsaber fight in the movies, but it's still kinda bad. Way too long, looks way to choreographed. Like most things in the prequals the only thing that really saved it was John Williams' music. I think most people will agree that the best lightsaber fights we have seen so far are in the Old Republic MMO cinematic trailers. In those fights they actually look like they are trying to kill each other. Instead of the "lightsaber ballet" as you called it.
I was never bothered by the choreography, as the 'ballet' has a defense rooted in canon as the oh-so-enigmatic nature of the force is brought to bear on the fight. the 'force' often described to flow and guide, so it's no stretch to consider the two opposing forces flowing and ebbing around one another in conflict, causing their sentient pawns to clash in eerily equal and opposite fashion. the forces guiding each combatant may also be discernible to their opponents, allowing for synchronous counters to every force-guided action.
MWBalls I always consider the two luke and Vader duels as easily the best fights in the series. Unlike in the prequels these fights have weight and the two actually look like they're fighting and not dancing
The "old style" (the original trilogy) looks like fencing. Parry, poke, swing. I know technology limited the effects that you could do/animate the swords. Also probably because the Vader costume was heavy and limited people's range of motion as well. Canon says that it was on purpose. Palpatine made the armour/iron lung itch and ill-fitting so that Anakin won't get uppity. Although both fights with Luke (the one that ends with No, I am your father, and the final one on the Death Star) were done well. It looks realistic with both of them trying to survive and not die. The new style (the prequels) looks too flashy and people bounce around too much. Although I admit the John Williams music sold it like crazy. I'm also a fan of the Senate fight with Yoda pinballing around and breaking things. But it looked like "movie magic" - not two seasoned force users trying to end a fight. To be fair, Darth Maul's canon style was supposed to be all offensive all the time, but it just looks...weird. I've seen the Old Republic MMO trailers. They look good and real....
ive always thought of the fights in the old trilogy as lightsaber fighting combined with constant use of the force. It made them feel less meh in my eyes.
The high ground comment really works though. See, Obi Wan knew the move Skywalker was about to attempt because he had used it himself to defeat Darth Maul. It was a moment replayed in Obi Wan's memory a thousand times and he knew what he would have to do to counter such a move. He was warning Vader that to try the move that was stirring in his mind would only work to Obi Wan's advantage. I think it worked very well.
They aren't, honestly I'm completely done with they guys who grew up idolizing Patrick Steward complaining about movies considering how bad the TNG movies were
Lord Erebus 6 was not shit, it was just disappointing. 4 definitely wasn't shit, that movie is legitimately fantastic. It's not nostalgia because I wasn't even born when these films came out.
Why do Millenials have such piercingly nasal voices? Hormones will let you grow a lumberjack beard, but not to sound like a grown man? Oh well, more VO work for me, I guess...
There is a scene in Face/Off where they have an epic John Woo gun fight and the kid has his headphones on so all you hear is "Somewhere Over The Rainbow". One of the best action sequences ever. And Face/Off was clown shoes
The Star Wars prequel movies are objectively stupid, terrible movies. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge it is in denial or completely oblivious. If you still enjoy them, that's great, but it doesn't change that they suck.
it's only objective if you compare it to all other movies, in which case it ranks beyond several movies based on objective measurements, like profits, time spent making the movie, the lore behind the movie.
Except that the quality of a movie is judged on an individual persons level, because films (like art) are subjective to the person watching them. It is actually impossible for a movie to be objectively bad because someone WILL find appeal in it. Your statement that if you enjoy them it doesn't change that they still suck is just wrong, because if someone likes it, then it doesn't suck to them. If it sucks to you, that's fine it's your opinion & you're not wrong for having it, but that doesn't mean that your standard applies to literally everyone else. I myself don't like the prequels either, but I don't believe that any movie can be objectively bad for the simple reason that their quality is going to be different to each person watching it.
Gravinus There are 2 things that go into judging a movie. Enjoyment & Quality. Enjoyment is subjective. It's your opinion. How much did you enjoy the movie? Quality is objective. Is the acting good? Does the story make sense? Are the special effects convincing? Quality is facts. Enjoyment is the "like art" subjective opinion part.
Water World the old man with a row boat inside the gas tank. A flare gets dropped in and he says “ohh thank god” before blowing up. Only good thing in that movie
RE: "Wolverine" - you'd be in much better shape getting hit in the head by a cannonball then having innumerable tons of logs rolled onto you. there'd be nothing more than paste, right?
I actually really enjoyed Xmen Origins. I mean it’s no Logan but it’s a fun popcorn action movie. And I was there to see wolverine not Deadpool so ya know
9:15 ObiWan countered Anakin’s jump because it was the exact move ObiWan used to defeat Maul. It’s poetic that Anakin would use this move in an attempt to kill ObiWan, and for that, both scenes are made even better.
The first battle in Phantom Menace was pretty good, too. That moment when they've filled the room with toxic smoke and think the Jedi must be dead and then BOOM we find out you should never try to corner Jedi...
Iron Eagle III: Aces, the scene where one of the jet fighters gets one of the heroes in a missile lock and so he opens his canopy and throws a roll of aluminum foil behind him!
Okay. I don't care if anyone else has made a comment like this, I feel the need to say it. Every movie mentioned in this video (and probably a few more besides) gets a bad rap, and I don't understand why. I mean, I get that they aren't necessarily as good as some other movies, especially when they're part of a franchise with demonstrably better quality, but none of them are BAD, per se. Every movie has dumb things in it. Sometimes they were preventable mistakes, sometimes they were simply contrivances to move the plot forward, and there's probably some reasons I'm forgetting. My point is, every story I've ever read has bits I like, and bits I don't like. I accept that there's no such thing as a perfect story. So, as long as I enjoy the bits I like to a sufficient degree, the rest is just a framework to bring me to those moments. And anyway, assuming multiverse theory is accurate, EVERYTHING happens SOMEWHERE. Even the stupid shit.
you know with Logan out you'd think he'd choose his words more carefully than "i know he's not gonna be taken out by a log"
shaggy zomby how does your comment only have 2 likes? (The 2nd like is me) Deserves a thousand
Ha! Facts!
twas a stump that killed the beast
Boo! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
yeah but so many elements of Logan are just dumb.
-It's an established plot of the xmen series that Logan can survive with just his adamantium skeleton as shown in scenes of the future in the 90's Xmen series. His adamantium isn't killing him.
-stopping humanities ability to mutate would make humanity extinct fairly quickly (generations but still), it's part of how the immune system works. Basically viruses would win the arm race and everyone dies of sickness. so no one should be dumb enough to try it and still know how.
-not everyone eats from supermarkets so farmers, hippy communes, other countries where American companies don't rain supreme etc would still have a normal mutation rate and so Americans would stop the stupid plan due to losing the mutant arms race. No Logan and his brother winning your wars with no mutants.
When they cut to the french guys chewing gum in godzilla i couldnt help but laugh. They looked super american.
That scene is the movie that sparked my love for Jean Reno. I saw Leon after that. But i love that man. I would do anything he asked me to
the high ground thing still makes sense. that's why Obi Wan says, "don't try it." like, don't try to do what I did, because I got lucky that time. Maul's arrogance got him killed.
Think about this:
Some of the largest big bads that Obi-Wan defeated, he did so from the low ground.
Darth Maul- Dangling over a ledge, flips over Maul's head, ends his leg having career.
General Grievous- Dangling over a ledge, flips over Grievous, cooks him most uncivily.
Either Anakin's problem is that he didn't start by dangling off that floating barge, that Obi-Wan never told him the stories of how he won (or trained Anakin to do the same), or that all Maul and Grievous had to do was 🎶loodle-loodle🎶 their lightsabers around in the air to defeat the move.
Also, doesn't hurt that Obi-Wan knows the move and, likewise, the best way to "disarm" the move should anyone try it against him
You refer to Gerard Butler as"Olympus Has Fallen Guy" instead of Leonidas. THATS why you have no friends.
*Cue Music*
That's the jo-ke!

At least he didn't say Dracula... or Ear/Time-less Guy.
PS I Love You-Man
What's with all the weird hyphen-ating in this thread? lol
Um, he has plenty of friends, including everybody watching this, duh. And if you're gonna criticize his choices, at least call Butler The Phantom (of the Opera). I AM READY FOR YOUR HAAAAATTTEEEEE
BvS the Warehouse scene. I can watch that over and over...
Josh Dugger yeah I legit was addicted to that scene for a few days
Omg same
Our friendship is over? Well guess who is telling everyone you liked the movie Doom.
Hahahaha
Considering Obi-wan killed Darth Maul with that move, he would know how to counter it.
Exactly. Its not " I have to high ground, I automatically win."
It's "I've already been here boy, you dont wanna play this game with me."
VictorXP12 He didn't kill him then though.
He also didn't have a lightsaber at the moment he jumped so Maul didn't see any threat, he had just killed a Jedi master and now had to deal with his padawan, while in the second fight Kenobi knew exactly the extent of Anakin's power (making the "you underestimate my power line kinda stupid..... good meme though). Maul lost because he was overconfident. As did Anakin.
Henry Ambrose Maul's canonically alive. He's a prominent figure in the Rebels series.
noobmaster117 I thought Obi-Wan killed him in Rebels?
Aw come one man. Don't close on "I hate you." I was looking forward to birthday movies.
GeniusTypical ikr 😂
I Fucking hate this guy.
@metalklown, I respect your passion.
I want to cut off this guy's legs and leave him to burn as obiwan left me to burn on mustafar.
@darthvader0219, I admire your can-do attitude!
"There's only one thing worse than dragons: Americans." - Best line from Reign of Fire
I love Doom without shame, last time the rock got to be a villain and he drop the MF bomb, it's glorious
The thing about Logan and Victor always going to war is sort of answered in a Wolverine comic. A pseudo-vampire was searching for a cure and was to use the blood of an immortal. he asked were do I find an immortal and was told they go to war. "Every man wants most what he cannot have, even if its death."
"I couldn't even because my feels AF" didn't annoy me nearly as much as the fact that I understood it perfectly...
Jokes on you! We're still friends because I'm going to leave it paused before it ends!
+Aaron Nicholls you win this round
Logan is Canadian.
Me Boo yes, but it is canon that he fought in most of the American wars.
In the first and second World Wars though he fought with the Canadians.
Christopher Richards How is that suppose to counter that statement?
That's what makes him a mutant. Normal Canadians are not capable of moving to other countries, because we can't photosynthesize in a different climate.
Joshua Pearce exactly
Maul's pretty awesome in the cartoons... Come to think of it Cracked should do a video on how great people are at fixing George Lucas's saga
This was a huge motivation for me to become a writer. Although personally I have no interest in the Darth Maul character.
When I watched Doom, I thought Goat died trying to attack his friends. I never thought he was sacrificing himself.
Can we all agree Live Schreiber was amazing in X-Men Origins?
I am pretty sure the only reason Obi Wan knew how to counter Anakin's jump is because he did it himself
So glad Reign of Fire made this list. I totally forgot about about the Star Wars play! Frankly, everything this movie does wrong I forgive because they fight dragons by having people skydive from helicopters as bait.
I love Reign of Fire. Such a brilliant premise , great action scenes, and it was the movie that made me think, this Christian. Bale guy would make an amazing Batman.
I was genuinely happy when he called me his friend, and all the more hurt when he needed it 😢
Does everyone at Crack talk like this or are we supposed to find it authentic even though it's clearly the same voice writing?
Im fairly certain its the Jack Obrien voice because its how he seems to talk naturally in the podcasts.
That black guy Cracked hired is better written.
Donald I guess you can say.. there on crack.
Where on crack? I thought you WANTED to talk like this.
If everyone there truly does have this vocabulary/intonation, could you imagine being in the cafeteria during lunch and listening to their conversation? It would literally be maddening. As in, you would literally go insane before you finished your tuna melt.
Obi Wan knew Anakin would try to jump over him from his arrogance, he purposely taunted him so he could cut him down

yep
Good catch!

It's probably exactly how I looked the first time I saw that scene
Karl Urban would be a great Batman. He's fricking awesome.
i can see that. but think id prefer him as kyle rayner or constantine. then again that dredd movie does need a sequel....
you're right but he wouldn't be a good bruce wayne
Yessss, we need a Dredd 2 :D
Abrahan curvelo I think he could pull off a Bruce Wayne similar to Ben Affleck's or even a little lighter kind of like Christian Bale. Most of the movie he'd probably be in the cowl anyway.
The producer of the Dredd TV series they're making is apparently in talks with Karl Urban to come back as Dredd, but they're going to have to work with his schedule.
Come on. In Godzilla the "Coffee-scene" is the best. "No croissant?" "No" "Arrgh, you call this coffee?" "No, I call this America". At least in Europe the whole cinema was laughing...

As an European, I should tell you that the gum joke in Godzilla... is not a joke ;)
As A* European...
I'm telling everyone about how much you love Doom.
Noooooooo
Josh Sargent just kidding, we're still friends 😊
+Josh Sargent I actually also really love the Doom film. I know it's not very good, but it has some really awesome action sequences and stuff.
Also I’d add Superman III for the junkyard fight as that is fantastic!!!! Well worth enduring the rest of Superman III for
I liked the Godzilla movie with Matthew Broadrick. It is a bad "Godzilla film" but it is a fantastic "giant monster in a city comedy film".
If they hadn't used the name Godzilla, it would have made a little less money, but would be much better received and remembered.
Plus you don't need to swim through the Panama canal to get to New York
I was just watching this movie yesterday and thought the same thing.
Whoa whoa whoa, the design of Zilla is awesome. Yeah, it's not "Godzilla," but it's awesome.
Don't worry man.
I love Doom as well.
Same, saw it in theaters when it came out, still have it on Blu ray.
Yeah a lot of people hated the FPS scene, but I loved it.
Doom, Priest and Legion 😂 I will watch any movie that has Paul Bettany killing things and Karl Urban being sassy 👍
i think how much u enjoyed "Doom" depends on age. if you grew up with 8 bit doom on Nintendo its awesome but if you grew up with quake it sucks loved doom by the way
the FPS-scene is the reason to watch the movie. It's like "Napoleon Dynamite" or "Some Like it Hot", the entire film slowly builds up to one really great punchline.
I'm 99% sure that Baby Joffrey is in the front row of kids watching the post-apocalyptic Star Wars.
You don't hate me. I'm your grandmother.
That "conducting music while the city was exploding" shot is what got me into the theater, to watch that PoS.
'Suck it children of the past.... and future' OK I admit that made me laugh.
But seriously, why on Earth would Logan, a Canadian, decide to go fight in all the American wars???
who wrote this script? Jesus Christ....
When Obi-wan says he has the high ground, he means that he has the MORAL high ground and he has won their VERBAL sparring match.
I should have Scene more of these coming.

In line with this premise I'd like to nominate the scene in Spider-Man 2 where Spider-Man is trying to stop the high jacking of an armoured truck full of nuclear somethings while on the phone with Gwen trying to explain that he's running late and is stuck in traffic.

Lost me at the can't even nonsense.
Oh, so you're already crawling back to me for the end card? Well, I say no! You don't me back that easily!
How does episode 3 retroactively ruin episode 1?

Bill Volk the point is that episode 1 already sucked so much (including the lightsaber fight which also sucked) that there was nothing to ruin.
Vikki DC
Yeah, I'm so glad the prequels ignored things like emotion, characters, and plot during their lightsaber fights so they could focus on what's really important... good fight choreography.

the phantom menace has more than one good scene.
"I've seen Wolverine take a cannonball to the face, I know he's not going to be killed by a log."
Someone hasn't seen Logan yet.
Darth Maul.
Nothing Character.
Pick One.
I was born in 1951… Watching you is very very educational…… Just watching the different mindsets you and I have
f8 of the furious prison scene
The dystopian future children gasping in surprise over vader-skywalker twist - cutest thing ever :)
Blah Sargent is talking on this... He is so lame. Fun fact he wants to become a dog wearing sunglasses. Get him a flea collar for his birthday. He will love you forever. True story.
The kids reaction reactions in Reign of Fire was so perfect. lol
I actually liked the 2. And 3. Star wars movie, not for their acting and their writing, but for the political and personal themes and the premise (seriously, I would pay for them to be redone with minor changes in dialouge and other actors)
i love this video, and it's cool to see that other people can also appreciate the small gems that otherwise bad movies have to offer. thanks!
To be completely honest, the prequels could have been salvaged almost entirely if they just cast an actually good actor to play Anakin in Eps 2 and 3. Hayden Christenson sunk the entire prequel trilogy singlehandedly as far as I'm concerned. From a writing perspective, Eps 2 and 3 were much better than 1
Christensen's a BAFTA and Goldern Globe nominee, moron.
Uh, no. He was never nominated for a BAFTA (Ewen McGreggor was though), and the one and only film that got him universal praise was "Life as a House (2001)". Since then, he's been nominated for Razzie Awards four times and won twice. Even allowing all that, good actors can still have bad performances. You wanna see a talented actor, look at Natalie Portman in virtually every film she's been in - she put him to shame in virtually every scene they shared. But then if you think HC's a good actor, I doubt you could appreciate good acting even if you saw it.
My mistake on BAFTA. It was Screen Actors Guild. Whatever, you're still an idiot.
"You wanna see a talented actor, look at Natalie Portman in virtually every film she's been in - she put him to shame in virtually every scene they shared."
Proof that wasn't that much the actors' fault but the terrible script and direction. Go and see how actors performed in A New Hope. Not that great either. Mostly because George Lucas can't direct actors.
#1. He says this is the closest representation of every bar brawl I've ever seen. So you've never been in or witnessed a fight in real life is what you're telling us.
and this is why I dont watch cracked anymore the way all the hosts talk is extremely annoying... was hoping this one would be different since it's a new guy that I've never seen before but nope guess not
PbG1989 Why is everybody being a baby about the way the hosts talk? Am I the only one who watches these things for the actual talking points and content? And plus, if this is annoying to you then I imagine you don't get out and meet other people enough... It's nerdy but barely provoking.
Jazzymon sorry that I don't share ur opinion... and yea ur right I don't go out at all! I stay inside my house all day long, and don't do anything not a damn thing. in fact if it wasn't for UA-cam I wouldn't even know what another human looked like.. it's amazing how u were able to tell that just by me saying I don't like how these hosts do their videos
I actually like Reign of Fire. The effects still hold up.
Camon the podracing was pretty cool too... just me? Ok...
The Thodern I actually liked most of the Phantom Menace...
Yes, even Jar Jar. Come at me
I think it's hilarious that Obi-wan is able to leap through the air, vaulted with only his arm strength and a bit of a push from the force (more to guide than anything), and strike a deadly blow in flight. then Anakin, apparently never having seen this happen, expects to be able to vault over Obi-wan and not get sliced in half.
Obi-wan may not have consular-level force power, but he really was a badass with a lightsaber.
I already liked Wolverine Origins more than Wolverine vs "the yakuza". Mostly because I dont worship Deadpool's mouth.
I would gladly worship Deadpool's mouth.
I had a long moment trying to figure out what the hell he was bleeping, and then I remembered I'm Australian and it's borderline a term of endearment here.
I will have to grudgingly agree that episode 1 has the best lightsaber fight in the movies, but it's still kinda bad. Way too long, looks way to choreographed. Like most things in the prequals the only thing that really saved it was John Williams' music.
I think most people will agree that the best lightsaber fights we have seen so far are in the Old Republic MMO cinematic trailers. In those fights they actually look like they are trying to kill each other. Instead of the "lightsaber ballet" as you called it.
I was never bothered by the choreography, as the 'ballet' has a defense rooted in canon as the oh-so-enigmatic nature of the force is brought to bear on the fight. the 'force' often described to flow and guide, so it's no stretch to consider the two opposing forces flowing and ebbing around one another in conflict, causing their sentient pawns to clash in eerily equal and opposite fashion. the forces guiding each combatant may also be discernible to their opponents, allowing for synchronous counters to every force-guided action.
MWBalls I always consider the two luke and Vader duels as easily the best fights in the series. Unlike in the prequels these fights have weight and the two actually look like they're fighting and not dancing
The "old style" (the original trilogy) looks like fencing. Parry, poke, swing. I know technology limited the effects that you could do/animate the swords. Also probably because the Vader costume was heavy and limited people's range of motion as well. Canon says that it was on purpose. Palpatine made the armour/iron lung itch and ill-fitting so that Anakin won't get uppity. Although both fights with Luke (the one that ends with No, I am your father, and the final one on the Death Star) were done well. It looks realistic with both of them trying to survive and not die.
The new style (the prequels) looks too flashy and people bounce around too much. Although I admit the John Williams music sold it like crazy. I'm also a fan of the Senate fight with Yoda pinballing around and breaking things. But it looked like "movie magic" - not two seasoned force users trying to end a fight. To be fair, Darth Maul's canon style was supposed to be all offensive all the time, but it just looks...weird.
I've seen the Old Republic MMO trailers. They look good and real....
What saved the prequels was Ewan McGregor's Obi Wan
ive always thought of the fights in the old trilogy as lightsaber fighting combined with constant use of the force. It made them feel less meh in my eyes.
At 3:08, I think prince Geoffrey is at the front of the crowd of kids watching the Star Wars reenactment.
I love the Prequels.
if i may paraphrase "die in a lava fire on a far away planet."
Same here. More originality than Force Awakens at least.
Better than the farce awakens
Not only were they the movies I grew up with, but they also had a different focus.
They had a lot of Background politics and diplomacy.
Honestly if Anakin wasn't so shit they would be pretty good.
paused it right before the video ended and am leaving this tab open. We'll never stop being friends!
I just stopped watching when he said "so rad I literally can't even"
This might be the best video Cracked has ever put out. A++
"i'm a millennial, that's how we talk." ah NO THE FUCK WE DON'T
vlover1500 that’s what we call a joke
The high ground comment really works though. See, Obi Wan knew the move Skywalker was about to attempt because he had used it himself to defeat Darth Maul. It was a moment replayed in Obi Wan's memory a thousand times and he knew what he would have to do to counter such a move. He was warning Vader that to try the move that was stirring in his mind would only work to Obi Wan's advantage. I think it worked very well.
Oh so like every single scene of the new Star Trek movies
That doesn't make sense. This video is about bad movies with one good scene, so if you count every scene then how are they still bad movies?
LMFAOOOOO!!!!!! Brilliant.
They aren't, honestly I'm completely done with they guys who grew up idolizing Patrick Steward complaining about movies considering how bad the TNG movies were
Bro tho, the Sabotage scene in Beyond? I literally facepalmed. So bad I loved it.
"Bad"
You listed several movies that I'm a big fan of, regardless of their awfulness. Consider yourself an honourary friend. :)
The prequels actually weren't that bad (apart from attack of the clones.) Revenge of the Sith was awesome.
don't you mean revenge of the shit?
dude 6 was kinda shit too, so was 4 kinda. Star wars is pretty mediocre overall we just love it and have nostalga
MarkEdwardRom naaa It's a good movie
Lord Erebus 6 was not shit, it was just disappointing. 4 definitely wasn't shit, that movie is legitimately fantastic. It's not nostalgia because I wasn't even born when these films came out.
They all sucked in different ways.
"Give up, Anakin! I'm the king of fighting on uneven ground!"
Why do Millenials have such piercingly nasal voices? Hormones will let you grow a lumberjack beard, but not to sound like a grown man? Oh well, more VO work for me, I guess...
That was a roller coaster of emotion Josh.
He's wrong on every count.
There is a scene in Face/Off where they have an epic John Woo gun fight and the kid has his headphones on so all you hear is "Somewhere Over The Rainbow". One of the best action sequences ever. And Face/Off was clown shoes
The Star Wars prequel movies are objectively stupid, terrible movies. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge it is in denial or completely oblivious. If you still enjoy them, that's great, but it doesn't change that they suck.
Loga Rugamon Ehhh I dunno. Episode I had some sketchy moments, but I wouldn't call it bad. Ep II and III though? trash
Steven Boelke really? i would say 3 isn't that bad but in 1 i can only really enjoy the fight scene with maul and 2 to me is forgettable.
it's only objective if you compare it to all other movies, in which case it ranks beyond several movies based on objective measurements, like profits, time spent making the movie, the lore behind the movie.
Except that the quality of a movie is judged on an individual persons level, because films (like art) are subjective to the person watching them. It is actually impossible for a movie to be objectively bad because someone WILL find appeal in it. Your statement that if you enjoy them it doesn't change that they still suck is just wrong, because if someone likes it, then it doesn't suck to them. If it sucks to you, that's fine it's your opinion & you're not wrong for having it, but that doesn't mean that your standard applies to literally everyone else.
I myself don't like the prequels either, but I don't believe that any movie can be objectively bad for the simple reason that their quality is going to be different to each person watching it.
Gravinus
There are 2 things that go into judging a movie. Enjoyment & Quality.
Enjoyment is subjective. It's your opinion. How much did you enjoy the movie?
Quality is objective. Is the acting good? Does the story make sense? Are the special effects convincing?
Quality is facts. Enjoyment is the "like art" subjective opinion part.
Water World the old man with a row boat inside the gas tank. A flare gets dropped in and he says “ohh thank god” before blowing up. Only good thing in that movie
The phantom menace only belongs in a dumpster
I am Buu Along with your mum
Still a better movie than Force Awakens which doesn't have a single good action scene.
dragon ball should be erased from human history
I thoroughly enjoyed that movie. All the action sequences were good.
I am Buu next to what J.F.Sergent should live off of for the rest of his life
RE: "Wolverine" - you'd be in much better shape getting hit in the head by a cannonball then having innumerable tons of logs rolled onto you. there'd be nothing more than paste, right?
Is that King Joffrey at 3:07 second from the left??
making 95% of the world feel unwelcome by starting the video with "Hi America"... good call
I paused the video to permanently maintain the friendship
Amazing Josh, fine piece of work
I actually really enjoyed Xmen Origins. I mean it’s no Logan but it’s a fun popcorn action movie. And I was there to see wolverine not Deadpool so ya know
9:15 ObiWan countered Anakin’s jump because it was the exact move ObiWan used to defeat Maul. It’s poetic that Anakin would use this move in an attempt to kill ObiWan, and for that, both scenes are made even better.
Dude! You said we were friends. What the hell man. I was looking forward to those birthday movies. It's okay, I don't hate you, I forgive you.
The first battle in Phantom Menace was pretty good, too. That moment when they've filled the room with toxic smoke and think the Jedi must be dead and then BOOM we find out you should never try to corner Jedi...
Iron Eagle III: Aces, the scene where one of the jet fighters gets one of the heroes in a missile lock and so he opens his canopy and throws a roll of aluminum foil behind him!
Okay. I don't care if anyone else has made a comment like this, I feel the need to say it.
Every movie mentioned in this video (and probably a few more besides) gets a bad rap, and I don't understand why. I mean, I get that they aren't necessarily as good as some other movies, especially when they're part of a franchise with demonstrably better quality, but none of them are BAD, per se. Every movie has dumb things in it. Sometimes they were preventable mistakes, sometimes they were simply contrivances to move the plot forward, and there's probably some reasons I'm forgetting.
My point is, every story I've ever read has bits I like, and bits I don't like. I accept that there's no such thing as a perfect story. So, as long as I enjoy the bits I like to a sufficient degree, the rest is just a framework to bring me to those moments.
And anyway, assuming multiverse theory is accurate, EVERYTHING happens SOMEWHERE. Even the stupid shit.
