Bad Movies 2020 (and beyond)

[HarleyQuinn]

I saw one trailer all summer for Borderlands and that was literally the only time I heard it mentioned anywhere, even the internet. Not a surprise it bombed so hard as there was, at least to me, 0 word of mouth even from the fanboys of the property.

Damn, even Uwe is getting in some great lines at the expense of Borderlands

I'm hoping this is better than the trailer makes it out to be, but this trailer is so horrible I'm putting it in this thread. Looks exactly like The Animal with Rob Schneider, and from what I've read, the novel is much darker and serious. This looks like a standard comedy.

It was obvious it was a terrible idea to do this. If they were going to do anything they should have made movies of the Amazing Spiderman and Friends kids cartoons or something. That shit is HUGE with the toddler set let me tell ya.

Reviews are in and...lol. Favorite pull quote

Professionalism can’t make up for a weak plot, comically bad animal CGI, cringy dialogue and the unfortunate truth that Aaron Taylor Johnson looks like the Nightman when he goes Beast Mode.

Outside of the "Venom" movies, this attempt at a franchise has felt like what if Universal kept making "Dark Universe" movies after that remake of "The Mummy"

Sony exec says 'Madame Web,' 'Kraven the Hunter' bombed because of critics

Sony Pictures CEO Tony Vinciquerra says 'Spider-Man' spinoffs 'Madame Web' and 'Kraven the Hunter' bombed because of critics: 'These are not terrible films.'

“Madame Web underperformed in the theaters because the press just crucified it,” Vinciquerra told the outlet. “It was not a bad film, and it did great on Netflix. For some reason, the press decided that they didn’t want us making these films out of Kraven and Madame Web, and the critics just destroyed them.”

He added, “These are not terrible films. They were just destroyed by the critics in the press, for some reason.”

“Unfortunately, [Kraven the Hunter] that we launched last weekend, and my last film launch, is probably the worst launch we had in the 7 1/2 years so that didn’t work out very well,” the executive said, “which I still don’t understand, because the film is not a bad film.”

Really went to bat for them by calling them "not bad films"
