Passengers would’ve been a great movie if it started with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence both being awake and then the audience becoming aware that Pratt woke her up on purpose the same time Lawrence found out
It still would have needed to treat his decision differently from a tonal perspective. I think it's okay to have a main character who makes a bad selfish decision. But you can't treat it as a cute romantic action. I don't think the movie needed to villainize him, which seems to be what WhatCulture wants, but you also can't just gloss over his actions.
😂yeah they literally showed the scene as they said it didn’t result in anything. Plus they’ve used that on a bunch of lists and actually mentioned it before but not this time
Nothing random about the suicide in A Star is Born. Just him finally realizing how everyone else sees him and knowing there’s truly no happy ending for them while he’s around. Actually very powerful. Anyone who’s struggled with addiction will see this.
He wasn't saying the suicide was random. But apparently in one of the remakes (one I will admit I have not seen) his manager gaslights him into commiting suicide instead.
@@jdhilde8871That’s just how this narrator paints it out to be though and it’s a very narrow minded view. To think that all of Bradley Coopers characters’ depression goes away after a short stint in rehab. If anything what the manager says to him just sends him down a spiral to his bad habits, it doesn’t kill him by any means
I strongly disagree with the idea that Remember Me's twist should have been revealed at the start. I also disagree with the idea that it should have been foreshadowed. The point of having the attack come out of nowhere is that it DID come out of nowhere. The idea was to mimic how it happened for the victims and their loved ones. Foreshadowing it would have been disingenuous to that reality. Now, if you want to argue that the movie leading up to that could have been better, fine. But I think the twist itself is a very worthy attempt to show how tragedy is NOT foreshadowed
The bigger problem with The twist in the second Jurassic World film was that it was not picked up properly in the third. The cloned child could have been a key plot point of it, be it as hero, protagonist, ant-hero, antagonist or even just the big McGuffin. Instead I got lost alongside the killer insects.
Really enjoyed the revelation about Nadja in "Blood Red Sky," as well as the whole UFO reveal in "Nope." Also enjoyed how "Red Eye" did the genre twist - if you go into it blind it feels like a genuine romcom for a while before switching to horror/thriller
"It's not like Titanic hid what boat they were on until the end." Bahaha don't give anyone any ideas. That's exactly the kind of bs that I wouldn't be shocked to see.
A Star is Born. The writer does not quite understand depression. If you have never lived with depression you don't understand what being pushed like that can make you feel. He's already struggling with his mind telling him he's worthless and that he should off himself, having the other guy just amplified it even further. It's like having a gun in your hand then having someone move it to point at your head. It's a final push as the manager guy was just confirming everything his depression was already telling him. It's ironic that you are praising the concept of the plants being responsible in the Happening when most of the time, that is the very thing people complain about.
Gonna go with Hellraiser 5. Guy was trying to figure out who killed his girlfriend, then the other women he finds dead, while dealing with cenobites around every corner...Except he's not, he's already dead, and his girlfriend has been sacrificing the women he cheated on her with to appease the cenobites
You literally show the scene where Maisie's actions are driven by the knowledge that she's a clone while saying that the fact that she's a clone doesn't come up again. I think I'll bug out now before the rest of this list is just more trolling.
I saw Titanic when I was in elementary school. We hadn’t learned about the actual Titanic yet, so that ending was a hell of a twist for literally just me.
Michael wasn't actually killing randomly in the original Halloween. He initially targeted Laurie because she went onto the porch of his childhood home, and added her friends to the kill list after Annie yelled at him for speeding. That's why he pursues Laurie so single-mindedly, no ridiculous sibling reveal required
Having the hero be the villain is not a "great twist idea." It's the most hackneyed thing in the world. It's almost never been done well. The reason it doesn't work is because it negates everything the audience has watched up until that point. The main character's actions are rendered nonsensical in hindsight or a full 80% of the movie was imaginary.
My favorite horror film twist is the end of the 2011 film Kill List, which I won't spoil here for anyone who hasn't seen it. If that's you, go watch it!
Signs twist should've been that those were demons instead of aliens since water was their weakness and they came to a planet that's mostly water lol. Could've played on it being holy water and every thing😂
Because Colin Trevorrow was original going to directed Star Wars Episode 9, so they had J.A. Bayona to take his place. But Trevorrow was fired so he returned to make Dominion.
Most wasted opportunity for a twist came at the end of The Matrix Reloaded when it was shown that Neo could control the squiddies outside of the matrix. What should have happened, imho, is that it was revealed that Zion was merely the next layer in the matrix, designed to control those for whom the main matrix was unsatisfactory and that Neo would be the first to break free from this outer shell and be the first human back into the actual real world.
I thought a star is born was great. Bradley Cooper killed himself because he couldn't hear the music he loved anymore and she eclipsed him. And since when is into the woods allegory for the aids crisis? It's just being forced being responsible for one's actions and consequences. Have you all not seen the films you list?

@@rome8180agreed. The movie would have worked way better if it was creepy in the 2nd act, and scary in the 3rd.
Are you kidding? Jurassic world: she opens the doors and lets the dinos escape, basically starting Armageddon, because ‘they are just like her’
I was going to say that
Exactly!
😂yeah they literally showed the scene as they said it didn’t result in anything. Plus they’ve used that on a bunch of lists and actually mentioned it before but not this time
I dont think that was a twist, just a dumb decision.
But she didn't have to be a clone to do it
The highlight of Jurassic World was Jimmy Buffet and his two margaritas during the attack...
Lmao real shxt ✊🏾✊🏾

It could have been an entirely different movie if you took out the dinosaurs plot

Jurassic World LOST KINGDOM?? i think the Author got confused Between Aquaman Lost Kingdom and Fallen Kingdom
My favourite horror movie twist of all time? The one at the end of Pandorum, I never saw it coming
"It's not like Titanic hid what boat they were on until the end." Bahaha don't give anyone any ideas. That's exactly the kind of bs that I wouldn't be shocked to see.
I'd say the best horror twist is the original Friday the 13th, no special effects or supernatural powers needed.
How can you say being a clone had no effect on the movie, it's literally why the dinosaurs get released at the end

WhatCulture has never been exactly known for their smarts.
The dad didn’t die in Remember Me. You literally showed the dad at the funeral of the son…
I always like the village twist, and yes, it is considered a horror movie.

Colin Trevarrow is to Jurassic Park what Rian Johnson was to Star Wars.
0:38 Lost Kingdom?!? Just right out of the gate with the mistakes, huh?
Your alternate suggestion for Serenity is just Free Guy.

I have fun with The Happening, sorry but it's a good laugh 🤣👍🐾💜
I disliked this because I really enjoyed "Into the Woods" and "A star is born".
Which one?
The two the Narrator was talking about.
@@nicksoapdish157 ok doesn't really help me
I liked a A Star is Born too
@mychunkyjordi7585 🙄 Into the woods from 2014 and A star from born from 2018. Those are the two I was talking about.
00:31 - is this movie actually called "lost kingdom" in some areas? I thought it was "fallen kingdom".
Incident in a Ghostland has the best twist ive seen in years

That clone kid from the jurassic park movie is probably responsible for many human deaths, so many.
Also a knock on the cabin i figured it out in the first 10 minutes who those people were. Btw, good movie. Go see it
Didn't the 13th floor do "the world is a simulation" successfully?
"Skyline" is a very interested movie franchise 👽👾🔫
I like the twist in My Bloody Valentine. I wish he took the sheriff out though.
How can you get corner than the attempted intimidation with COOOOORRRRNNN!!! Oh yes, corn! Pretty tasty!
My favorite horror film twist is the end of the 2011 film Kill List, which I won't spoil here for anyone who hasn't seen it. If that's you, go watch it!
Idk what my favourite Horror movie twist is
i will defend my bloody valentine 3d until my dying day
I agree: The Children of the Corn “twist” was dumb. I liked it clear up to that point.
I unironically kind of love The Happening. It's so stupid but man, is it fun!
What... no? Actually enjoyed the first third to half of the Happening... there was definitely something that that just dissipated by the end.
Skyline had a sequel.
I am glad I didn’t waste my time on any of these second-rate movies.
Signs twist should've been that those were demons instead of aliens since water was their weakness and they came to a planet that's mostly water lol. Could've played on it being holy water and every thing😂
Into the woods sucks on stage too
I like Jurassic World Lost Kingdom but the question I have is why change directors?
Because Colin Trevorrow was original going to directed Star Wars Episode 9, so they had J.A. Bayona to take his place. But Trevorrow was fired so he returned to make Dominion.
@@danzig3462 ah ok thanks

Maybe not a Movie? but the TV series "LOST" blew it horribly at the end.

Him "not being able to hear the music" has literally nothing to do with why he kills himself.
I wish they would recast Tyra Banks in the lead role of the underworld movies
The best presenter on this channel. I love sarcastic wit.
It was clear in Halloween that Michael was Laurie's brother. He was traumatised by seeing her having sex with someone else, when he wanted to.
