I didn't see Hateful Eight until 2016, that movie was really shitty.

Sounds like you need to suck on a  WARM BLACK DINGUS
DUDE BLACK DICK VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN RAPE RAPE RAPE LMAO

Tarantino should be dragged out behind a shed and shot.

It's kind of a shame that you seem to have taken that scene at face value. It's a scathing rebuttal of American racism...or is that why you dislike it?
While I have a problem with almost all recent revisionist westerns on principle, that's not really my beef with it.

Tarantino's work is extremely overrated, particularly in Hateful Eight. I think his use of 70mm is wasted on a largely indoor film like that. Although I agree with the praise it's gotten for amplifying the crowded feeling of the cabin, that's all it really accomplished.

I'm convinced at this point that he thinks that being edgy and provocative and using "creative" editing makes up for the mediocre writing that plagues his films. This isn't helped by the millions of teenagers and bearded 30-somethings who think excess=wit and praise him as some kind of mastermind. We get it, mom was just being closedminded when she told you Jesus wouldn't want you to cuss.

I also think that, if this was an attempt at "criticizing racism", it's a pretty fucking stupid one that has accomplished nothing beyond making "anti-racists" feel proud of themselves and offending normal people. I found his use of the Daisy character (a metaphor for the poor, uneducated white underclass that bourgeois liberals like himself despise) as a punching bag extremely offensive. I grew up around these people, I understand that they're human beings and I don't like his dehumanizing treatment of them in this film.

I appreciate the thorough response, though I disagree with most of it -- but I definitely would regard this as one of his weakest scripts. I really liked the 70mm, and had a blast seeing it on film in a specialized theater. As for Daisy, I don't really see why anyone should be offended by the brutal beating their demographic receives in the film, though I wouldn't agree Daisy is a clear stand-in for the "uneducated white underclass", and despite her roles as the villain, you're supposed to be disgusted with the bounty hunter's treatment of her. If you were able to empathize with the her, recognize the hypocrisy of her abuse at the hands of the protagonists' (ostensibly a cop and a war hero), I think the film did its job. Without a doubt, you're supposed to walk out of that film feeling dirty and potentially offended.

Hateful Eight effectively lampoons numerous examples of typical Hollywood violence while sharply criticizing any preconceived stereotype of the characters' demographics, just by letting them play out. The "revisionist" black war hero getting revenge on a Confederate general (a similar theme to Inglourious Basterds) is turned on its head by letting it happen; he brutally murders an old man, and abuses a woman, all while hypersexualizing every ounce of his violence through the story of the general's son -- kind of sounds a bit like stereotypical black gang culture?

I wish I saw Sausage Party so I could bitch about it. Apparently liking it ironically wasn't even worth it.

It's pretty bad tbh. Shame I spent money on it.
The good thing about that movie is that It got me to see a video sent from of a friend recording a friend at a theater during the sex scene.

Was it thoroughly excellent?

That just leaves that Fate/Grand Order movie which was pretty bad so 'll go with that.

that wasn't a movie

it was an OVA for a Japanese mobile game, it also doesn't really make sense to people who haven't read SN, Zero, Ataraxia, and played Extra.

well you're right in that it wasn't great for anything other than fighting fan service, but the story to grand order doesn't get any good until Nasu joins in and starts writing for it during Camelot

Yeah in terms of fanservice I enjoyed seeing Lancer Caster kick some ass for once

-shit villain
-shit acting by almost everyone involved
-no real plot
-inonsistent tone
-katana, joker, slipknot are completely pointless and don't serve any purpose in the story. boomerang guy also to an extent
-where are the flash, wonder woman and batman in this WORLD ENDING EVENT? why was a bunch of criminals the first and only option they had?
-method of killing the villain was super weak
-yet another blue beam shooting into the sky

I mean, I enjoyed MoS and BvS despite their flaws and I can at least find Iron Man 2/ 3/ the Thor films watchable. But Suicide Squad was just bad on all fronts. Like, Spider Man 3 tier awful.

-Opinion
-Did you watch the movie?
-What does that even mean in a movie? Is this even a bad thing?
-Okay?
-Why does anything happen in movies the way it does? Granted, this is a valid question here. Where are these characters in the Suicide Squad comic books?
-Ending was rushed a bit, yes.
-Where was the other blue beam?

I mean really, I was entertained by this movie and found it enjoyable.

If I wanted something that challenged me as a member of the audience, I would watch some Russian movies.

Believe me, I was one of the few people looking forward to it. Me and my girlfriend both left the cinema thinking it was pretty meh but over time, the more I think about it it just gets worse.

Ah, I think its because I had no expectations from it. I did not watch any trailers - did not listen to any podcasts or read any articles, I did not read the comics - I just jump right into it.

Its sort of the No man's Sky effect. Imagine if you knew nothing about No Mans Sky, you see it in store on a shelf and buy it, you get hjome and what you get is an okay space exploration game. Its the hype that ruins things, I think.

The movie that I was really surprised with how bad it was, was X Men Apocalypse. I was aware of the lukewarm reviews but considering it had the same team behind DOFP, I figured there was no way it could be bad. Ironically he takes a jab at Ratner ruining his series in the ROTJ scene and yet he basically fucks it up worse after being the first movie in this "altered timeline". The villain was boring as shit and the doomsday storyline is as lame as it gets. Basically every other character is complete shit and also pointless to the story.

BvS was more or less what I expected after MoS. It was pretty much the Amazing Spider Man 2 of DC. I didn't bother with Suicide Squad, and I'm not planning on seeing Justice League unless someone drags me to it. Wonder Woman will probably be bad too.

See now, the real problem with Tarantino films is that you can only watch will smith call everyone nigger for so long until it stops being funny.

So what exactly is Harley Quinn supposed to bring to the squad? There's a living aimbot, crocodile tank, firebender, swamp sorceress and all sorts of shit, and then there's a random crazy girl who swings around a bat?

Suicide Squad was far from a good movie, but this is seriously touted as the worst movie to come out in 2016? There are many things wrong with it, but come on now. I'm glad I didn't pay to see it in theaters, but it was hardly that bad when you take it as just another capeshit movie.

I was fine with it until the end fight sequence with the flame man and brother man.

Christ that was terrible.

Rogue One.

I'd like to change my answer.
