Cruella pissed me off, period. You’re telling me that an infamous character who is literally infamous for wanting to KILL AND SKIN ANIMALS/PUPPIES not only likes puppies, but ends up with five, TWO of which happen to be the grandparents of the puppies she’ll end up wanting to skin? The f$&k?
Just another example of Disney trying to gloss over the "evils" of the old movies. Or pointlessly fix what wasn't broken. Like Lady's humans in Lady and the Tramp. I made it maybe ten minutes before that revamping of them turned me away. Not too mention that I have seen acting in the first grade play then that movie
How the hell did I miss this? Shouldn't the Dalmatian Club of America and the American Kennel Club have united to storm the Disney Studios? It is true that Dals themselves would not have cared unless it involved biscuits...
maybe the hesitation to do the eternals timelapse through the ages, was because wolverine origins did the same thing & flopped, even tho imho that opening montage was better than the rest of the film in it's entirety.
Tenet has a great sound mix, it just prioritizes things other than what you were expecting. I don't need to hear Soldier Number 4 saying "Roger roger" I know what's going on. The music and the sound effects are more effective there.
Thank you! Everyone always complains about Tenet because they didn’t want to go into a film expecting for you to think about stuff. The sound mixing is brilliant and the story and execution gets better and better every time you rewatch it.
Ya really the whole movie of The Last Jedi was Ruin Johnson taking a big old dump on the entire franchise who was the genius that thought he was a good fit for a Star Wars movie needs to be shown the door!
I can't remember a WhatCulture list that didn't have Star Wars in every fucking one of them.......🤦♂️. You could have a list of top 10 worst diseases and still manage to shoehorn in Star Wars.
Eternals was a smoking garbage fire that I didn't care enough about to put actually put out. I watched it last week and I've already forgotten the plot.
The Rise of Skywalker had the unenviable task of not only wrapping up the Sequel trilogy but the whole Skywalker saga, and it also had to clean up the mess left by Rian Johnson in The Last Jedi and give a farewell to the late Carrie Fisher's Leia. As JJ said in an interview, he gave Rian Johnson a "Treatment" for what would become The Last Jedi, and Rian threw it in the trash without looking at it and did his own thing.
See, I was pissed at the movie because its just a bad movie. Like I gave shit to Thor Dark World for being so forgettable that I only remember the stone, its cast, and like some of the events, but Eternals just actively infuriated me.
@@RikuVA i mean tbh, i didnt mind the movie for what it was going for. It was more drama and that somthing marvel is experimenting with as well as horror. There's obvious things that could be better. But it easnt terrible.
Interesting that Interstellar had the same complaints with the sound design as you could barely tell what some characters were saying in that too. Maybe next time around Christopher Nolan might listen to people when it comes to making dialogue clearer to hear
The worst part about the Cruella thing is that ledge was hover her waste and a over her center of gravity, so there’s no way she would have fallen over form a push she would have had to be lifted and thrown over …
I am shocked Alien 3 wasn't on this list. Killing off 2 survivors from Aliens in incredibly disrespectful, and off-screen, ways was such a kick in the nuts.
Regarding Halloween, that was the one Halloween movie that freaked me out the most, as it showed his decent into madness and as an avid D&d player I could get into his mindset from the get go. I left the theater with an actual uneasy feeling. So from that perspective I loved the movie.
I love this movie too. The kitchen scene is one of my favorite scenes in the movie LoL. This Halloween movie that Rob Zombie made and The Thing made by John Carpenter are my favorite horror movies. I totally agree with you on this buddy ☀️
Rob's Halloween was a real world movie about a screwed up kid from a horrible family (outside of his mom, who at least loved him) who grew up in a institution after killing 5 people to become a huge man with freakish strength. This could really happen!!! Why people dislike this movie is beyond me! It is easily in my top 3 favorite horror movies .
While I do like ultimately the mysterious concept of the original. As a alt universe story by Zombie, I don't hate it. It's actually not that bad. Its Part two that was the issue.
The problem with eternals was the promotional campaign the trailers misrepresented the story and showed of Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek and Kumal Nanjiani who played minimal roles in the film itself
Not sure that Jolie & Hayek had minimal roles, Hayek & Jolie had minimal screen time, but very important. Najiani... yeah when he 'left' i literally said What The.. at the screen
Not to mention the Deviants were set up to be the big bads and the one who genuinely posed a threat starts to reach big bad status disappears for 30 minutes to an hour and is then killed in under a minute when the supposed “strongest” of them had difficulty in a one on one with him.
@@Vengeful_Wyvern I figured they'd do that to the Deviants, but that's only because of my prior knowledge of the Eternals history. To me, this movie was directed towards comic nerds, like me. Y'know, those people that cringe and grumble everytime they hear someone say that "Hugh Jackman was perfect as Wolverine" or that "Halle Berry was an awesome Storm".
I'm not surprised Eternals is on a hate list (although pretty sure no one has come up with "wasted Pink Floyd" as a reason), to put the Avengers on one for... well, let's be honest, pretty BS reasoning is quite shocking.
@@grandpagohan1 I’ve seen folks mock the “on the nose” soundtrack the same way they do Suicide Squad (the first one) with stuff like “House of the Rising Sun” playing (“because Belle Reve is “a house in New Orleans!” Get it?”). Eternals definitely had that energy throughout…. (Time, Ikaris’ final fate…)
you buggin about Final Destination 3. That opening disaster with the roller coaster made me never look at them the same again. Its not the best movie of the series, but definitely not the worst. That goes to 4, its in a league of its own.
I enjoyed part 3 too, but the kills of part 1&2 are some of the best kills. The plane deaths in part one aren't all that but the kill after the premonition are good and part 2 is Nice all the way through.
Hmm you know. many say Final 3 is a bad movie. I don't know if it is or isn't. Even though I watched it and enjoyed it. Maybe cause it is not as bad as people say or it is and my crush on Mary Elizabeth blinds me. LOL
the problem with eternals as how crowed it was. 10 new characters and only half of them are interesting. also it didnt help they wasted angelina and salma and focus obly on gemma chan's super boring sersi, possible the least likeable character
@@MasterSkywalker86 oh man, you have many years-worth of fantastic Cinefix videos to watch if you think that guy is famous because of the pitch meeting videos. Cinefix is far better than WhatCulture at movie lists & cinema criticism. Enjoy!!
He's taking about the execution of how it's shot. Bad camera angles, stupid dialog. it's a great movie and the openinging sets the stage but the execution is very sloppy
I gave it an 8.5/10. It was better that NWH at 8 and BW at 7 (Shang-Chi was a 9). I admit I'm an unashamed MCU-whore, but I do my best to rate them on the film itself.
If anyone didn't like it, it wasn't because they missed a tech montage going with a Pink Floyd musical cue. The movie was fine. This list has Avengers and Rocky V on it. What should we expect lol
It’s because the movie was super long and boring. The story had waaaaay too much exposition. There were also too many characters so none of them had room to shine. Ajak in particular, was wasted. The romance of Ikaris and Sersi also felt forced, and they were the most boring main characters in a Marvel film I’ve ever seen. The climax of the movie also didn’t feel like the stakes were high, the audience doesn’t feel for the characters, they’re just rooting for the Eternals so earth isn’t destroyed.
@@StormX6 It was odd, there was too much for some characters and not enough for others... whoever the speedster was (can't remember much about that one) had 0 development and just magically appeared, while others had 0 pay off for the time spent with them.
Negativity sells. It feels like the majority of movie-oriented channels lean this way. It's kind of a safe bet. When you complain about mainstream movies, it creates a perceived kinship between viewer and content creator. "Hey, we're on your side." It's the same tactic that politicians use - that "us against them" mentality.
How do you miss Alien 3 on this list, it's honest to God a real contender for first place, killing Newt and Hicks offscreen and trust, audiences were pissed. On the whole some really weird and sketchy choices were made - and sadly kept being made because Covenant whoo doggy.
I think the intro of "The Avengers" was pretty good. Loki caught all of them off guard teleported in, recruited Barton and Selvig, grabbed the Tesseract, and escaped the facility with a blast. It set everything in motion. I actually disliked Age of Ultron intro, it's cringey.
I dunno. They could have really embraced the idea that Kylo was too far gone and made to be the ultimate big bad. Maybe have him intent on resurrecting Palpatine involving cloning and some new discovery. Johnson was right to assume the expectation was for Kylo to be redeemed and Rey to be a secret someone. I liked the choices to subvert them because they were uncomfortable.
That entire trilogy suffered from not having a tightly controlled story arc. JJ should have had a plan about who all of the characters were and where they were going all plotted out over the entire trilogy before he shot the first second of film. It's obvious that there was no such plan. While each movie might stand well enough on its own, the trilogy connected just falls apart.
Did anyone really care after Ruin Johnson took a huge shit on the whole story? These guys never call out that horrible movie must have their tongues up Disneys collective asses.
Why inevitable? It's an entire universe consisting of multiple galaxies, yet the recent movies would make you think the entire population could fit inside an average sized school. A force powerful marooned warlord in a very far flung off planet encountering an unlucky would be trader, a cryogenically frozen clone, the list is endless for how to explain a new big bad rather than just pretending plot doesn't matter at all.
Deadpool 2. Vanessa dies right at the beginning which obviously sets up the “deadpool gets a new family” ending but first time watching, she dies 5 minutes in? I was fuming
Ragging on a movie for not showing a montage of human technological progress to Pink Floyd's "Time" was a _massive_ reach The song is about wasting the prime of your life because you weren't wise enough to know what you're doing The song was wasted because it was thematically inappropriate for the scene, milking it harder wouldn't have helped
Sara Conner chillin’ publicly with John in a Mexico has to be the most non-Sara Conner scene in the entire Terminator franchise. The “resolved” aftermath from the first film led to her character’s extreme response shown in T2. That baggage ain’t going nowhere. Should’ve spent less time on the plausible CGI, and more time on the screenplay.
I know huh? People bash this movie as if it was the worst ever. I found the movie quite good. I like the beginning. The only part of the beginning I didn't like is when they're all sitting at the breakfast table and the dad starts screaming for no reason. Other than that, I thought if was a decent movie. But the second Rob Zombie Halloween movie was horrible.
@@gothix5868 the first one was great. Taking near an hour to explore young Michael was great. Something we’ve never seen before. That breakfast scene is terrible. Lol legit. But it’s Rob Zombie. I expected nothing else. But wtf happened with the second one he did? THAT is the worst one ever.
The only good thing about the Alone in the Dark movie was that it introduced me to Nightwish. Other than hearing "Wish I Had an Angel" for the first time, I want both my time and my money back.
Mulan wasn’t on the list because the beginning didn’t suck, it only sucked after they left training and went to war. Thats when it took a turn for the worse.
@@jfsimmonsiii I don't know, when the narration talked about Mulan being the chosen one with lots of chi I got pretty irritated real quick. Chi isn't a magic power that makes you a martial arts master overnight and Mulan being a chosen one totally undercuts what made her arc in the animated film so good.
Noone was excited to see what JJ did with the ending, most people i knew already knew it was gonna suck after The Last Jedi gave him literally nowhere to go
@8:27 exactly who thought eternals would be “one of the strongest mcu movies to date”? It was never going to be anything more than a lecture on identity politics. Was anyone surprised the white male turned out to be the bad guy? I wasn’t. I realised the first time I was told a character was called Icharus, that he’d die in a sun related incident. Eternals was one of the dullest, tedious movies I’ve seen. Nothing happened. The plot was stupid. Where weee the avengers during this? Identity politics is going to kill the mcu.
Watched the 'Eternals' in theaters I had to leave when the sex scene happened. Literally had people shushing me because I was laughing so hard. LOL xD::::
@@dutchschultznyc4423 somehow after helping thousands of celestials being born and such, they decided something different. I’ve simply decided their story will eventually be good, considering it’s a door to something bigger. As a standalone, it sucked. Chloe Zhao was a master at the locations, though. In spite of the story, it was visually stunning.
After Michael Myers, Joe Grizzly was the best thing to come from the entire Halloween franchise and he was only in the film for about 5 minutes. I pissed off that he died.
It was going to be the first ever Star Wars movie that I wouldn't be seeing in the cinema... until my friends started cajoling me into buying a ticket. When we walked out of the cinema I turned to them and said "I told you so!".
I’ve still never seen episode 9 and have no intention of ever doing so. 7 was a poor remake of 4. 8 was so bad it was the reason I won’t watch 9. Even Rogue One wasn’t that good, it’s just so much better than the others it seems like a masterpiece.
@@spacebum - I probably am looking at Rogue One through the lens of "at least it's not one of the sequel trilogy", but I really enjoy watching that movie. In fact I have rewatched it a few times and still enjoy it just as much as the first time.
The start of Cruella makes perfect sense. If they went with something outlandish then you’d be complaining it was unrealistic. I was pleasantly surprised, I watched it with my daughter thinking it’d be rubbish.
What's funny is I still haven't finished Terminator Dark Fate. I literally stopped the movie right after they killed off John Connor like that... I was like "Nope. I'm good." And turned the movie off.
The Eternals commentary was mighty subjective. Like, it might have pissed *you* off, but I highly doubt that most viewers sat there thinking, "WhAt? Where's the montage?!?!"
Is it me or was The Eternals miscast. I saw the group standing there and thought they were a meek looking group. I saw Silicon Valley, Rob Stark, and boring… zzzzz
Pretty sure JJA brought Palpatine back because Johnson killed off Snoke. The big problem with 7, 8 and 9 was the lack of cohesion as a result of changing direction so badly from 7 to 8. 8 almost felt like someone deliberately trying to stick two fingers up at 7
What happened with Terminator: Dark Fate opening, without any doubt, should be no.1 for a list like this if not franchise killer. Add the fact that James Cameron himself was part of production makes it worse since he actively undid the first two Terminator movies that he directed.
he didn’t undo anything though. Dark Fate is the only post-T2 sequel to respect and honor T2’s optimistic ending. you bring back Skynet and you disregard T2’s ending entirely and render it pointless (*cough T3 cough*). destroying Cyberdyne and therefore Skynet before its creation led to Sarah, John, Dyson and the T-800 saving billions of people’s lives and ensured the human race’s existence for another 2 decades, thus honoring the core theme of ‘no fate but what we make for ourselves’. it’s only logical that eventually humanity will bring about their downfall again by designing another A.I. “it’s in your nature to destroy yourselves”
@@Stefan_Gerards wow, really deluding yourself there. James Cameron was both writer and director for Terminator 1 and 2. He had nothing to do with any of the other Terminator movies until Dark Fate and then directed the scene where John Connor dies within the first few minutes. Don't matter the optimistic ending of T2 because if that had actually meant anything than a terminator wouldn't have killed John Connor since Skynet no longer existed but Legion. In short, James Cameron filmed Dark Fate as a Terminator 2 reboot with WOKE being shoehorned in
@@jeremyblackmouth3323 now please do explain what’s “wOkE” about it? 😂😂 Cameron wrote several scenes in Dark Fate and had final cut privilege. you can’t have a post-T2 sequel where Skynet is back, that just dilutes T2’s ending, whether you like it or not. it’s a modern remake/requel of the first film.
just want to point out for the Avengers, Loki proclaiming himself as Loki, Brother of Thor. was calculated on Loki's part. his whole plan was to cause chaos and infighting. people who were just attacked are not going to trust the brother of the man that just attacked them. he was trying to put in the seeds of doubt about Thor when he arrived.
I like how John Connor didn't age in 3 years. I'm pretty sure he was like 10 years old in the first one. If the opening to dark fate was 3 years later, shouldn't be have gone through a growth spurt or two in that time? I wasn't even mad that he died. More annoyed that he didn't age at all. And Sarah Connor was wearing the same outfit from the second movie. Jeez. These writers are supposed to be professional.
I don't remember how old the character was supposed to be, but the actor sure as heck looked much older than 10. A quick google says he was 13. So yeah, that weird version was not of a 16 year old.
Also? Misandry undermines feminism. John Connor was just the first in that film's victim-or-villain trend. Arnie's Terminator gets domesticated (and arguably emasculated) against all logic. Apart from him, EVERY FEATURED MALE CHARACTER in the film is antagonistic and/or dies. The message isn't that women are strong, even if it was meant to be. The message they sent us is WOMEN NEED MEN to go down too easily. Get a clue, screenwriters!
I am 49 and am still awaiting that growth spurt every FN adult told me was going to happen when I was a kid. God knows why you would tell a kid with no aunts tall er than 5 foot 2 and no uncles over 5 foot 5 that they were getting a growth spurt.
Honestly, when I watched Tenet I thought there was something wrong with my TV until some googling told otherwise. Do not understand the decision, or at least why someone believed it would work outside a modern art exhibition.
My brother 20 years older than me) HATED Pretty Woman. He said it was "F --ing unrealistic". To this day it's the ONLY movie he's ever walked out of a theater and demanded his money back. He didn't even stay for 20 minutes.
To the people who liked Rob Zombie's Halloween opening and how it showed a decent into evil for Michael, that's absolutely fine. But that's not what Michael is. Michael is just evil. No abuse. No trauma. He just grabbed a mask and knife and killed for the sake of killing. He killed his own sister, not even just a random person. That's more terrifying than just bad childhood=bad guy.
I fucking hate movies like that! I shouldn't need subtitles to catch the dialogue just because your background noise is all too loud. God forbid you turn it up while they're talking cause 10 seconds later there's going to be a bomb explosion that breaks your speakers.
I really didn't think that the eternals was as bad as people think, it was far from MCU standard but I really enjoyed it all the same. Just gave itself too much to do.
Tenet. There is so much that you have to pay attention to. Why make the sound so hard to hear? I wanted to love the movie. I do “like” the movie, but I had to watch it at home with subtitles to understand any dialogue.
And how do we let all our viewers down with our list every time…..? Number one is some movie no one gives a shit about at all! Way to go WhatCulture! Stay on brand!
One more is 'Dark City' in the theatrical cut, they had opening scroll explaining the movie ruining the twist in the movie. Best is the directors cut release. Studio exes are dumb and just want that box office record. All cash profit and no bawls. LOL
actually. one of the sound engineers who worked on tenet came out and said they were mixing it at home during the peak of covid using there airpods so im pretty sure it wasn’t a Christopher Nolan choice. i just think they did not have access to the kind of resources they needed to make it sound great!
We know HOW and WHY Palpatine returned, through transferring his consciousness to one of a number of clones but if you only ever watch the movies you'd never know this.
@@NobleRaider2747 you know a lot of people completely forget that George Lucas himself even said he doesn’t even like Legends? It amazes me that people care so much about a certain part of Star Wars that not even the creator of the franchise doesn’t even like
@@Lord_Galvatron while he did supervise and work on some Legends stories like the original Dark Empire and Force Unleashed, and had the final say in who could be killed off (he was the one who gave them the go ahead to kill Chewie), he doesn't really like the EU that much like you said
So I'm the oddball who loves Terminator 1&2, also enjoyed Salvation, buuut didn't really dig any of the others, so I honestly Loved Dark Fate, literally everything about it was great to me, so I was very sad that the movie did so horribly amongst the larger fanbase. And I agree with you about Rise of Skywalker, buuuut the Last Jedi was such a misstep, I think everyone knew what J.J. was up against, and what we were in for as a result of Disney trying to save the last film of the trilogy. All in all, the final product was at the very least entertaining, and sufficiently cathartic, in this Star Wars fan's opinion.
