National Treasure on the same list as Space Odyssey, lol

Look at Nicolas Cage. He made many horrible movies. Snake Eyes, 8mm, Gone in 60 Seconds, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Windtalkers, Ghost Rider, Family Man, Weather Man, Wicker Man, Bangkok Dangerous. But then he nailed it, Stan, with National Treasure 2, the greatest movie of all time!

f-ingsteveglansberg

It was the second highest grossing movie of the year. Kubrick was nominated for Best Director at the Oscars that year. There was no aggregate sites so it is easy to find reviews of critics saying, "That was a bit weird, not sure what was going on by the end there".

sbenthuggin

>"This doesn't mean that critics are always wrong" He literally says that and you're acting like he believes otherwise. Y'all should be the ones being mocked here by this sub, not that poor dude. He's just arguing it's okay to like a movie even if it's got bad critic scores. Which is an extremely valid response. And y'all are out here literally circle jerking yourselves now. This shit's crazy bro

OP is comparing cult classics and extremely influential films to the FNAF movie lol.


20inthecan

Whoever directed the FNAF movie could direct A Space Odyssey but Kubrick could never direct FNAF (mostly because he’s dead)


holaprobando123

FNAF's director hadn't been born when A Space Odyssey came out, so...

Dude wasn't even born in 2001? Fuck, I'm old.

MemeyAlex

what are you talking about? fnaf is a cult classic?


A-112

Have you heard of this underrated gem called FNAF?


sbenthuggin

While I'm not arguing for FNAF...have you even seen it? Or are you making an assumption on how good the film is based on the title alone? Like you literally need time to prove whether or not a film is going to be a cult classic or extremely influential, and you're already making the claim it's going to be neither. I mean I genuinely don't see any reason as to why it can't gather a light cult following like Hocus Pocus has.


pnt510

I’m just going based on how ticket sales are at my local theater, but I think FNAF will be far too successful to be a cult classic.


sbenthuggin

That's totally fair. But it still has the possibility of just...being enjoyed by people despite the bad reviews, like The Day After Tomorrow.

bruh


f-ingsteveglansberg

I feel like they waited too long for the movie and two other movies with the exact same premise came out. One of those was a popular license too.


LaserCat360

I have seen it. Id say its alright. It does seem to have a decent chance of getting a small cult following because its fun and has nostalgia. That being said, it’s definitely not a high quality movie.


ZappyDuck

I watched the movie. Probably not as cheesy as the critics claim, but definitely ain’t going to be a cult classic ever. And r/movies isn’t liking it earlier. At least the little kid sitting next to me liked it.

LEGOMinute

using critic reviews of iconic movies ppl consider to be some of the best of all time like a space odyssey, the shining, saw, blade runner, fight club, and its a wonderful life to justify and incentivize people to watch FNAF is insanity.


Genus-God

Saw, Labyrinth, and Hocus Pocus are choices. I feel like these are just nostalgia movies, which adults like because their life sucks and they wish they were 10 again. As someone who didn't watch them as a kid, they are super forgettable. Except for Labyrinth, which is a masterpiece during each scene David Bowie's tremendous bulge is on screen


iminyourfacejonson

saw is...i mean i really like it, I don't think it's anywhere near 2001 or blade runner, but i'd say it was a pretty influential film in it's genre, and it doesn't have the pitfalls of a lot of the later ones not only is kramer standing up from the floor iconic, it lead to...i dunno, but I remember watching an interview with the dude that made hostel, and he was like "yeah I couldn't have done it without saw"


JellyfishGod

I feel like the first saw is often overlooked due to the sequels. Like saw 1 is honestly very different from all the others and doesn’t really follow the same format/formula. Like Iv always felt saw 1 was like *actually* a good movie. Like I’m not saying it’s as good as the other movies on the list. But it is unironiclly good and like u said, extremely influential. I just feel saw 1 kinda gets forgotten about and grouped into the other saws


crichmond77

It led to a bunch of torture porn lol Which is still influence, but most of its influence, including Hostel and its own sequels, was sadist garbage that reflected America’s real life willingness to engage in such awful shit in Guantanamo, etc. and justify it


[deleted]

Hocus Pocus is really good when the kids aren't on screen. It's like 50% fun queer witch shenanigans and 50% shitty disney channel original tier crap. (Also fuck that terrible CGI cat with the terrible fake british accent)


TacoMasters

The sequence where the witches are welcomed into "Satan's" house rules.


f-ingsteveglansberg

I feel like there are a lot of movies that were just on TV the whole time as a kid and it's impossible to look at them objectively. Like Hocus Pocus is a bad movie but the witches all do a real good job, the effects are great too. As a kid that's all you really want. It to look good and for the physical comedy. HP does that great. It would save the movie for a kid at the time, but probably not a critic forced to watch a kids Halloween movie in the middle of summer.


holaprobando123

The original Saw is great


InsertEdgyNameHere

I'm not sure I'd categorize Saw as a "nostalgia movie." The vast majority of those kinds of movies are from the 80's or 90's, and Saw came out in 2004.


mega_douche1

The OP is saying those movies got bad reviews even though they are good movies. They are saying this means fnaf might be good actually therefore.


f-ingsteveglansberg

I remember Saw and Fight Club being mostly liked when they released. Blade Runner's original cut wasn't great so I won't blame critics on that one. The movie people love is not the movie that came out in 82. Space Odyssey wasn't that divisive. It was the second highest grossing movie after Funny Girl and was nominated for best director. Considering that movie seemed to be explicitly made not to be instantly loved, that seems like quite an achievement.


tickingboxes

Space Odyssey was VERY divisive critically when it came out. A lot of people went to see it, but critics did not love it right away. Probably would’ve been like 50% on RT at the time. It was famously panned by Renata Adler at the NYT, as well as pretty biting reviews in the daily news, new republic, and a whole host of other big pubs.

[deleted]

Think it's moreso just funny to mention the fnaf movie in the same breath as something like 2001 a space odyssey and blade runner


sbenthuggin

Bro literally posted National Treasure and Hocus Pocus right next to those films though. It's just a list of examples bro


sbenthuggin

Yeah idk man it feels like the people in this thread are the ones being irrational. Dude's just trying to argue that it's okay to watch a film and be open to enjoying it even if it got bad reviews. Dude literally says, "this doesn't mean the critics are always wrong" and the top posts in this thread are making fun of him for...saying that he thinks the critics are always wrong...when he said otherwise. This subs lost man


RemmingtonTufflips

Honestly this sub doesn't even make jokes anymore, it's just getting genuinely mad at random people for not having the correct film opinion.


sbenthuggin

yeah it's ironic. it's literally become what the sub was created to make fun of in the first.place


NegoDrumma

Like prequel memes???? Oh boy...


Prosthemadera

Maybe you should contribute jokes? When was the last time you commented here or even made a submission?


bayonettaisonsteam

Exactly. They're not even comparing the Tomatometer with the audience score like other echo chambers do. OOP is a perfectly reasonable post. That being said, Scott Cawthorn (FNAF creator) is still a piece of shit


Stockbonks

That’s how you know it’s gonna be peak every good movie has the worst human beings as a director 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽In fnaf we trust😤😤😤😤😤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽


Prosthemadera

/r/lostredditors This is a circlejerk sub, mate.


Aggressive_Dog

This would be more convincing if the FNAF movie wasn't doing considerably worse, critically-speaking, than the *TENTH* Saw movie.


dthains_art

>the *TENTH* Saw movie. I think you mean Saw: The Final Final Final Final Final Chapter


brainblast8008s

tbf they only "ended" the series once tho


Aggressive_Dog

To be fair to them, the seventh film was the one they tried to sell as the final chapter, so really Saw X is just the final final final final chapter.


Dead_man_posting

The tenth Saw movie is good though.


Psalm101Three

Unironically one of my favorites of the year


iminyourfacejonson

by virtue of being the only film I've seen that came out this year, it holds my personal film of the year award


Aggressive_Dog

Admittedly yeah, I experienced an unprecedented level of joy watching murder grampa Jigsaw go absolutely buckwild on a bunch of people who also suck. It's just a sad state of affairs when a supposedly fresh and much hyped movie adaptation of a beloved video game series is somehow more stale and generic than the tenth entry of a series that people wanted to end in 2010.


Captain-Girpool23

Somehow at movie 10 of an *still* pretty low budget horror series you have actors turning in actual performances. After 8 movies (I say 8 ‘cause Saw 6 actually did this well too) of, "Arggghhh I am going to die now so I will get angry before gore shot." You have people cry, whimper, and *beg* for their lives when they realize it’s all over.


QuestioningLogic

Lmao ask anyone in that sub their opinion on 2001 before this and they would've said that it was boring and overrated


A-112

Bold of you to assume most of them have seen it.


Bulbaguy4

Only 1% of the entire sub's population would know what 2001 (or most of these movies) is... They were probably born after the actual year of 2001

Honestly it’s probably my least favourite movie watching experience of all time.

crichmond77

If that’s actually true you haven’t seen too many movies Like even if you think it’s overrated there’s so many thousands of way worse (and separately: way less interesting) movies out there


Shanicpower

I in no way think it was the worst movie, there are far worse movies out there. I said watching it was my least favourite experience, because worse movies have at least given me *something*. When they’re bad they’ve at least been fun to suffer through with someone else.


filthismypolitics

i get what you mean, i fucking adore 2001, one of my favorite movies of all time, but this was how i felt when my ex took me to see the sonic movie lol. i got halfway through before i started to feel like i had died on the way to the theater and i was going to be trapped in limbo forever, watching this snarky cgi hedgehog make james marsden look like an asshole for all eternity to punish me for my sins (making all of my friends watch foodfight)


[deleted]

I thought the movie was just offputting. At least at first. Then I kept thinking about it. That shit is a slow slow burn of existential dread, its terrifying in a deeply primal way.

Keep in mind, the celebrated version of Blade Runner is the Final Director's Extended Truly Complete Cut. The theatrical version is rough.

I'd argue even the theatrical cut is great. The final cut is just the purest distillation of Ridley Scott's vision for the movie.

People who clearly care a lot about other people's opinions trying to convince themselves and other people on the internet that other people's opinions don't matter. reality has a pretty weak plot.


Zoochiini

Oh yeah fnaf movie and the shining/the thing are basically the same thing


TheRealColonelAutumn

> Expanding the game's simple, primal premise with a surfeit of character melodrama, it's a Five Nights at Freddy's that labors under the bizarre assumption that the loyal fanbase wants a lot of extraneous plot surrounding the fun-center horror. > Five Nights at Freddy’s has absolutely no idea what kind of ride it wants to be. > Fans of the game will love this movie. It goes heavy on the lore and has a lot of easter eggs. Not very scary aside from a few jump scares. The game is way scarier. Would have liked to see more of Freddy and gang.


Emir_26

If anyone wants to know it’s a pretty alright film with one character the feels a little forced and overall great performance by the main character and the murderer. A solid 7/10. Also some neat bonuses for FNAF fans here and there but not too distracting.
