I love how you guys did these top and worst movies like a middle schoolers presentation 😂 like you woke up that day remembering “oh crap it’s due today”
@@FilmThreat C'mon ... make a template for this kind of stuff ... and most importantly: leave some room between the lines! You write stuff for a living and should know about "formatting rules".
Thanks for the round-up Chris & Alan! Enjoy your show a lot. Thank you for having me on a year ago. Uh thankfully not as part of your Worst-of roundup. Happy Holidays everyone.
I hope you reach a quarter million subscribers next year. All of your videos stand up in a heartfelt way for real storytelling, real acting, and real entertainment. this is a very important niche you occupy & I am glad you represent it so well.
Some more movies to add onto the dishonourable mentions. 1) You People (something about the movie pisses me off, one of the worst on screen chemistry ever from Jonah Hill and Lauren London/Eddie Murphy) 2) Ghosted (not even some skin show from Ana De Armas could save me from this abomination of a movie) 3) Hypnotic (good ass trailer but total let down as a whole, Dead-pan expression from Ben Affleck) 4) Hidden Strike (Wanted to love this movie with Jackie Chan and John Cena sharing the screen, but was a cringe fest) 5) Heart of Stone (generic spy espionage movie with zero style or element) 6) Vacation Friends 2 (John Cena again, but the first movie was okay tho) 7) The Family Plan (1 millionth movie with the same plot, a former mercenary/spy hiding his identity from the family while his past is catching on to him) Haven't watched Rebel Moon Part 1, but i hated Zack's Army of the Dead so probably gonna hate this too.
Saw Fool's Paradise because I also liked Charlie Day. And, yes, it was terrible. The rest I'm glad I skipped. Anyone else pulling out the DVD's (or even VHS) and watching old movies?
Just picked up a stack of 80s and 90s DVDs at the thrift shops. Got Carpenters Assault on Precinct 13, Valley Girl, Taps, Desperate Measures and Rising Sun.
@haveanotherpinacolada not committing @Nerdrotic. The South Park reduction of Hollywood to, "put a chick in it and make her gay" summises the current state. But like a snake eating its own tail, Hollywood will inevitably destroy itself.
Thank you for mentioning Fast X.... not that they're high cinema but Jason Momoa absolutely ruined this for me. It was way over the top but Jason was just plain ridiculous and made me reinforce that the franchise ended after Paul passed.
I realize Saltburn is a controversial film and many people don't like it. However you can't deny that it had some positives, even if you didn't like the story. Barry Keoghan is a fantastic actor, the soundtrack was fire and the cinematography was beautiful. I loved it.
You know what? F Harrison Ford, too, for going along with it. You're Indiana Jones. You have a say in this matter. Tell 'em right a better script and don't waste my time. He just doesn't give a 💩.
@@devlinallistair-zx5bythank you. I've been saying the same. He is a cnut. He's worth 300m. Given what Disney did to Star Wars' legacy characters, you'd have to be a retard or a cnut to think they'd somehow treat other legacy characters with any more respect. Harrison ford is personally responsible. Without him there is no Indy 5. And if he signed a contract in 2015 to reprise each character one more time, it's his responsibility to tell the fans that he's sorry, like Halle Berry with Catwoman
1:31:14 But you HAVE seen Mad, Mad World, yes?!? I met Tarantino at the Austin Paramount at a 70mm screening of Mad, Mad World. Good times. The tail end of Roadshow Cinema, and obviously one of a kind
gosh, it was a bad year for movies. For me biggest death knell of Hollywood is they seem to have forgotten how to write a compelling story arc...its all about visual events... look at that Rebel Moon, it was filled with good actors but it was like they all had forgotten how to act... It just fries my brain how such bad stories and dialogue is getting green lit and made. Just one story I want to add as I feel is a strong clue to the dire writing... Years ago on a Kinda Funny podcast... Gary Whitta (wrote Rogue One, Book of Eli) mentioned a job he was doing for the never released Sherlock Holmes 3... He along with several other writers were hired to draft out the plot.. They were hired for 2 weeks and was told in first week to brainstorm cool visual moments... note no character development... just things that look cool. Then end of first week Robert Downey Jr comes in room and chooses from those cool moments... then in week two they take these visual moments chosen and string together a loose plot that threads all these visual moments together. This loose story is then passed to the credited screen writers who take this first treatment and adds the dialogue and story points. This is everything wrong with Hollywood and its terrible out put in my mind... in essence they are ignoring all which is important in stories such as character growth, dialogue and good story for mere empty hollow visual moments to put in a trailer... and most recent Hollywood movies especially Disney make so much sense how they arrived at the empty husk, when you see how things a written. Hopefully Hollywood will go back to real writers who spend serious time honing a script, possibly from a book which naturally put story first and Hollywood may stand a chance.
The fact that the only movie you mentioned on this clip that I actually watched in 2023 was Batman Returns, is indictment of the movie industry as a whole Apathy now reigns supreme, I used to go to the movies at least once a week until about 2015 , then I started to taper off. And here we are in 2023, only movies I watched in the theatres were Oppenheimer (obviously) M.I Dead Reckoning Part 1 The Creator And The Equalizer 3 I will probably add Godzilla Minus 1 to this list before the end of the week ...For the most part, I don't even care for the majority of movies released this year even to catch them on streaming.
Even if Wish was a good movie, the marketing was pretty bad. Until the reviews starting coming out, there was no indication of what the actual plot was. Then it turns out the king protecting his people is the villain and the marketing made sense. Someone learned from the Barbie movie marketing haha
I’m a huge fan of Wes Anderson, but I after trying multiple times, I just couldn’t get through Asteroid City. It’s as though some film school student made a spoof of a Wes Anderson film, with all of his negative tropes amplified.
Ya Need to watch more films :) Just to name a few bad ones I have seen outside of those - It's a Wonderful Knife - Bottoms - Evil Dead Rise - Cocaine Bear
It was.... but it's also a divisive film. Nothing against these dudes cuz this is my first time watching their channel - but I feel like a lot of the people who don't like it, they don't like it because they aren't smart enough to really understand it, or catch the depths of it's many layers.
Worst of 2023: 5) Baby 4) Veera Simha Reddy 3) Mark Antony 2) Shaakuntalam 1) Beau is Afraid I tend to not watch movies (pay money) that I know I am not going to like. But these were the ones that disappointed me in the theater. The only dishonorable mention I have is Bhagavanth Kesari.
I can agree with almost all of the picks! Where was live action the Little Mermaid? Meh to worst? There was alot of crap this year, but some good ones too! happy holidays!
I saw about 40 new movies last year, most in the theater, but I boycotted a couple that I might have scored low, so pardon their absence. My lowest scoring I've SEEN are: 1)- It's a Wonderful Knife 2)- antman 3 3)- magic Mike 3 4)- The Black Demon 5)- fast x The movies I boycotted because I expected them to join this list: 1)- The Marvels 2)- little mermaid 3)- Elemental 4)- Indiana Jones 5 5)- Wish I was GOING to boycot Barbie but actually really liked it, giving it a 87% on a 💯 scale.
Always like to hear Chris and Alan's take but, I respectfully disagree with Chris on Dial of Destiny. I thought I was going to hate it but, I was surprised that I actually enjoyed it. I thought the female lead was annoying AF through most of the movie but, it was decent and waaaaay better than Crystal Skull.
Disney made the movie so some are contractually obligated to hate it and then try their hardest to explain why. One youtuber said that Indy getting punched and knocked out at the end robbed his decision and made him a passive protaganist... funny he didn't say mention Raiders where if Indy stayed home the Nazis never would have found the Ark and at the end he was tied up and didn't affect anything.... hmmm
He was actually good in Peacemaker and i believe he can easily handle comedic roles with great timing that's being thrown at him like in Sisters and Trainwreck. With shitty movies choices like Vacation Friends 2, Hidden Strike, Freelance he made it an abysmal year for him.
As long as It's a Wonderful Knife is on the list. If I didn't laugh with friends I would have died from pure cringe. What? No, Freelance is genuinely charming. The Dictator was HILARIOUS.
One of the biggest problem with Indy 5 is, who is it for??? A movie series about adventure with a cool masculine lead, saving the girl or find an item that has deep meaning. Why make a film about that lead being a depressed, unliked old men, who has a sidekick that push that idea of indy being the things I mention, but also being unlikeable and unattractive at the same time. Who is this for??? Kathleen Kennedy has to be one of the worst producers in Hollywood because she has no idea what she is working with
I hope Chris and Alan's New Year's resolutions are to get on a health kick. Every time I watch Film Threat, I can't help but worry about their weight. These guys do not look healthy at all and need a less sedentary lifestyle and probably less yummy food and booze too. I'm afraid one day I will turn on Film Threat and find out one of them has dropped dead from a massive heart attack. 🤞🙏You guys start taking your health seriously. We need Film Threat and Chris and Alan to stick around for a long time. P.S.: I can see now why Chris is jealous of Erick Weber's body. Come on Chris be more like Erick and less like Norm from Cheers. Here's to a healthy and happy New Year🎉
I am glad you are keeping to the worst list the big studios as Siskel & Ebert did many years ago. Give the independant films some grace and give none to the 100 million+ wasting machines.
Man, you guys have justified me not seeing any of those movies except IJ & DoD and Peter Pan & Wendy. My friend gave me a copy of IJ, and PPW was on D+ and I watched it with my daughter. They were both just stupidly awful. Haven’t seen the rest, don’t plan to.
Never seen any of this,except Napoleon,black adam and the flash.still cant believe it all happen this year what shitty year.Everything turning to shit in real world and our escapisim is even more turning to shit.😭😭😭😭😭😭
I think Barbie should have at least be mentioned!! That movie was funny the 1st half, had potential… then the 2nd 1/2 just nose dived into woke, feminist garbage!! I saw it with my 2 friends & we came out thinking WTF did we just watch?? We’re only around 50!! Not too old!! 💕🇦🇺💃
I guess I’m lucky I chose to avoid the one I heard of and didn’t hear of the rest. I saw a trailer or something for wish waiting for the boy and the heron on the big screen the animation looked terrible
Am I the only one who liked Indiana Jones? I also don't watch most woke movies so I feel people are hate watching WAY too much and making people judgey
It was was an enjoyable movie, not great. After watching it, I realize the criticism was cherry-picked from certain scenes. It was an enjoyable romp, the two characters had equal time to shine and fail. It was never a girl-power movie. And the ending wrapped up things with Marion pretty well.
Rebel Moon was so offensively bad that I had to turn it off about 10 minutes in. Thank you and Alan for warning us not to waste our time seeing awful movies this year. Greatly appreciate it.😊
If this is the best presentation you’re capable of why not just skip it and talk about them. It’s kinda hilarious for someone to critique film making, while displaying their list in Microsoft Word in the year of our lord 2023.
Notice The Flash wasn't on Chris's worst list or even a dishonorable mention even though it was terrible because he thought "it was a good Batman movie" no, no it wasn't Chris.
INDY 5 was OK, it was not god-awful (I give it 6/10). Did you even watch it? I have a low tolerance-level for woke stuff, and horrible movies, and was OK on that level. Indy did fine once he got out of his funk in the first 5 minutes, and it was a harmless romp/adventure. He was NOT a totally broke-down old man that the woman had to prop up all along the way. They played off each other pretty well, and Indy played the part of an 80-year old pretty realistically. I think think your low rating comes from the disappointment. Again, I'm not raving about the movie, it was a passable 6/10.
Please add even one cent of production value to your show. Screen sharing Word docs? Seriously?? Come on, you guys are better than that. Get a producer. This is getting tiring.
Probably an idea to not display a giant yellow oled killing banner on the screen that covers the text document you're using as a primary source for your narration! 🫣
