I don't know how well the second Super Troopers was received, but I thought it was terrible. It was unwatchable. Really, really, really bad. How do people think that stuff is funny? I think most people agree with you. It was somehow worse than Dumb and Dumber 2, Zoolander 2, and Anchorman 2. Painfully unfunny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel I should mention that I really liked the first one, Club Dread, Beerfest, and even the Slammin Salmon. I expected SP2 to be pretty good and expected D&D2 to suck so that could have affected my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malfatron Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 yeah D&D2 actually surpassed my extremely low expectations I agree that ST2 was completely cringy and bad.It bastardized the spirit of the original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opening scene is the best part of the movie. Hilariously rewatchable. I didn't even bother with the sequel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I watched Halloween 2018 and I feel like it was better than the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I also watched Blockers based on somebody here saying it was the funniest comedy they've seen in years. It's further proof that comedy is dead in Hollywood. I don't think there has ever been a decade with worse comedies throughout film history. Comedies literally rely on absurd vulgarities and showing butts and penises and putting things into butts and jokes about homophobia. I think the last legitimately funny comedy was The Hangover, and that was ruined by three repetitive sequels and it doesn't hold up nearly as well on second or third viewings. The last comedy classic I think (and I hope I'm wrong) has been Hot Fuzz. What We Do in the Shadows was hilarious, but I've only seen it once. Hopefully that holds up. It also wasn't a major release. This Is The End was pretty damn funny, but it completely falls apart in the final act and it's not as funny on second view. Tucker and Dale vs Evil probably shouldn't count since it wasn't a major release. Compare that to comedies of the 90's. Dumb and Dumber, The Big Lebowski, There's Something About Mary, Office Space, Ace Ventura, Tommy Boy, Happy Gilmore, Kingpin, The Full Monty, Galaxy Quest... Those are just the ones off the top of my head. Go back to the 80's and the 70's and they're even more classic. Comedy is dead. Blockers was a terrible movie not even worth watching for free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Watched Mortal Engines. The world is amazing, though not well defined in the movie, but the story is pretty poorly done, too many tropes forced together, plus no character development, some poor acting. Wish it had been a good movie, because I want to see more from that world, but ideally something good and something where they developed the characters, but that's YA for you.

But I agree with your view on comedies and would assert that modern horror flicks are in a similar state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazgul Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I've seen Pokemon: Detective Pikachu and Aladdin over the past few days and was pleased. I enjoyed them both. You all gotta learn to just enjoy things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 Watched Captain marvel ... Meh. Not one of my favorite marvel movies. A little hokey, I thought, and it dear God, the "this movie takes place in the 90! You can tell because of all of the awesome 90s references we included" was just too much. Also Shazam. Solid. Laughed enough, which is good. Zachary Levi was perfect casting as well. It honestly want that far off from his Chuck character lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
