George Lucas has used the latest in digital technology to create a Clone Army, an epic Jedi Battle - removing all wires, story and acting in the process. Let's see what The Human Powder Keg has to say about it...
Honestly, I can't get over how awful that movie was. I mean Ep I was bad, but at least it was kind of entertaining. Ep II, on the other hand, was woeful beyond my wildest expectations (and I expected pretty bad - not as bad as you'd think though). I kept thinking, "ride with it Scotty, the first half ain't supposed to be that crash hot, it'll get better in the second half". And I ended up waiting the whole movie for the second half that never came. My list of movies I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy has just increased.
Here they are (with one key scene to exemplify):
Bounce - Dad's just died. Mum's thinking of getting it on with another guy. Kid doesn't like new guy (and who would like Ben Affleck really). Solution? Take kid to the waterworks! 2 minutes of water filled scenes set to a wonderful heart warming number and voila! Kid loves his new dad!
Stepmom - Divorced Mum's dying of cancer. But that's not really important. What's important is to sell a bunch of soundtracks with some 60's soul classics on them. Lets dance around the bedroom miming into our hair brush. Life is good!!
The Suburbanites - I can't even remember a scene from this pile of junk... Even Ben Stiller couldnt redeem this one.
She's the One - Jennifer Aniston vehicle to shake her nice girl image. Key scene: Too hard to pick. Every single scene without fail contained an argument with 2 or more people that you would hate with an absolute vengence in real life. Seriously not one redeeming character anywhere.
The Bone Collector - The more I think about this one the crapper it becomes. The best scene is the second murder scene. Send in an experience forensic policeman? Naaa... go for a complete rookie to crap all over the crime scene cause she's "got a good instinct"... Aye aye aye.
That's all for me.
Sorry about the rant. Maybe I'll give you guys the top 5 movies with key scenes next time just to be a bit more positive.
Rating: HATE!
