I don't think Smokin' Aces is terrible, but I will concede that it is a film that if you're not on its wavelength/vibe, you're going to have a bad time.
What I liked about skeleton key as well that was kinda twisty, is that Kate hudsons character was actually protected by her skepticism. the whole thing could only work if she believed in the supernatural so the moment she actually realized how much danger she was in she was doomed.
Thats an aspect of Candyman and Freddy Kreuger that I think mostly goes overlooked. The fact that believing makes them stronger is terrifying, it becomes like a mind disease that you cant stop the spread of.
I have never gotten the hate for Smokin Aces. It’s not meant to be anything but fun, and if your gripe is that it takes itself too seriously at the end, I’d call that petty.
Not much of a twist but it is a WTF moment that's kinda creative. In the low-budget adaptation of Dean Koontz's Whispers, a funeral director is shown having sex with a corpse. But it's revealed to he a prostitute who pretends to be a dead person and has full-body make-up. It's just so weird kinda funny how they interact as she says she has to be home pretty soon.
Holy crap. Who wrote your narrative? Smoking aces was not a musician but magician. And not a operating room but an icu room. Damn details...right? At least sub par narrative deserves unsubscripe
I enjoyed this list and how it was narrated but the fact he included Smokin Aces on a list of terrible films means I may not revisit. Just joking but SA is an amazing film
I wouldn't call REINDEER GAMES a bad, bad movie; in fact it's pretty good for later Frankenheimer. The protagonist being quite a loser is refreshing, and not many actors would want to play him, or do him for laughs that wouldn't actually happen.
Nothing against what culture, but to see many if these clips as anything other than a varied brown/black mess, i needed to turn my screen brightness to blinding
It’s got pretty good pacing, fairly interesting characters overall, really interesting characters in Darwin and Buddy Aces and as a bonus, Ben Affleck takes a roll that you think he’ll keep alive until the end, only to be dropped in an unexpectedly quick manner No hate on Affleck, just not the kind of character end that you’d expect from an actor of Affleck’s caliber
Facts ! Whatculture isn’t always right..”Smoking aces has a good cast lots of energy but is kind of annoying” man ‘Smoking Aces’ crawled so ‘John Wick’ could walk
What's funny about Smokin' Aces is how they made it appear Ben Affleck had a bigger role and he's killed off early. Chris Pine, lesser known at the time, had a bigger role.
Smokin' Aces was an amazing movie, with lots of twists and turns. Ryan Reynolds was absolutely amazing in his role. The all star cast did great in their respective roles.
I'm just here loving all the Smokin Aces defenders. We love that movie and it feels like it's one of those movies that nobody likes or has heard of but you until something like this, then people come out of the woodwork for it.
I think it’s time to unsubscribe to what culture. I’ve been a fan for 5+ years but in recent months it feels like the writers for these channels are gettin increasingly snarky for the sake of being snarky. Cutting down on any films for not living up to today’s movie snob whether or not they were well received when they came out.
The twist in Smokin' Aces is literally the least interesting part and of you think it "saved" anything that just shows that you didn't understand the movie from the beginning. It was about the characters. The "twist" was only a vehicle to further Ryan Reynolds character
Smokin Aces has its flaws but I absolutely love that movie. Great cast its clearly not winning any Oscars but it definitely delivered on a fun action packed movie
Love the style, this type of film needs a genre name. Seeing the different perspectives and how what we think what we know keeps changing and evolving. Snake Eyes is another great example. Vantage Point as well. It's been too long since we've seen one of these films.
Basic is SO excellent. Also another example of the commentators not being fully accurate, because everyone is not still alive and Hardy WAS a DEA agent, just goes a.w.o.l. to join section 8 by the end.
Book of Eli isn't a terrible movie, but it has a twist that takes the alright action thriller to pretty good. After leaving the titular Eli for dead and stealing the bible Eli was transporting, the main villain prepares to use it to proselytize his followers into action only to discover that it's in braille. Eli, the ass kicking drifter who killed shit tons of this dude's men, was blind the whole time. It answers why it took Eli 30 years to get to the west coast, because he couldn't see where he was going. It's actually foreshadowed if you pay attention to his actions in the story, lot of things someone would easily see, like a dead iPod or mint condition boots, Eli can't.
I really don't understand why they don't say the name of the film first, THEN say the plot twist. Also, separate the video into chapters. That way, at least people would have a chance to skip to the next chapter if they don't want to be spoiled.
Reindeer Games isn’t a “ho-hum flick.” It’s either a bad film or a “so bad it’s good” film, depending on 1. your expectations going into the movie theatre, and 2. how much you drank before going into the theatre, given point number one.
The "twist" didn't save shit for that shit film. It just ended up being an even dumber film than it already was. This video was stupid from start to finish.
I enjoy the Escape Room movies. Of course, you have to go in with the expectation of what it is. If you want genuine scares, watch something else. If you want to have fun and turn your brain off for a while, Escape Room is for you.
It might've been done in the first series, but Terminator 3 is the best example of this. Terrible movie all around, except the ending completely redeems the entire film with the last 10 seconds.
I was working in a movie theater when it came out and every person that asked me "is it as bad as everyone says it is?" always caught me off guard because I loved the ending so much. The action is pretty good too.
I don't care what anyone says, Smokin Aces is a fucking awesome movie in every way and I will defend it to the death. I also quite liked The Skeleton Key (I have it on DVD somewhere) and both Escape Room movies (mainly due to the set designs) tbh, and Ghosts of War was also pretty decent too (though I concede that is largely due to the twist)
1.). Smokin Aces is AWESOME! I love that movie and the twist is great. 2.) Skeleton Key is really good and the twist is SO unexpected! 3.) WTF is wrong with you?!?!?
I just love how the chapter titles are a description of the plot twist instead of the name of the movie... I don't know why this is so hard for you people to understand...
Dude! First of all, Smokin Aces Rocks. And secondly, what kind of rushed ending is that for Basic (also a fun movie)? You gave the twist with no setup. It's like you were recording this episode and just wanted it to be over. Smh😒
Basic was an awesome movie until the twist. Highly disagree with your perspective. Also, Smokin Aces is a wonderful flick! Anyone who calls it, “terrible,” must be a twat
Y’all pulled this mess again?!? Haven’t you learned anything from the last time!? Did ya even pick any ACTUAL bad movies this time instead of movies that were bad to you?
@@scottwells5057 You agree with the person you replied to about how the “badness” of a movie is purely subjective. Well, my opinion of this is purely subjective so I guess we’ll just have to live with those absolutes now, won’t we? And let’s be clear right now. I am not mad. I am slightly annoyed. BIG difference, okay, Scotty? Have a good day.
That's not even close to the twist in the movie. It's that Adrian's brother may have been the person in the suit all along. It's heavily implied that he was manipulated by Adrian, with Adrian mentioning things he shouldn't know. The finale is more of "taste of your own medicine" ending popular in horror movies.
Yes, this. It's a pretty minor twist as well, not shocking since we know that Adrian is the bad guy anyway , but just another great example of how clever and evil he is. @@arroncunningham9866
Wish you guys would put a list of the movies/games you're gonna spoil ON the video, before you shout out the twists/endings or whatever on the next entry.
I got so confused with the escape room 2, i had no idea that there was a extended cut that changes the movie completely and thats the version i watched, because i didnt remember watchin this ending
