I'll have to think twice before deciding to watch either these two actors movies again. Life's too short. Chappie is indeed Crappie.
shareCouldn't agree more! What a terrible movie.
shareHave to agree, cant quite put my finger on why it was so bad but bad it was. However the effects and scenery were good, had a real district nine feel to it but just didn't live up to it. As for the so called "stars" I wouldn't be putting this one on my CV!
shareStill don't get you people. This movie was entertaining as hell. Definitely better than the new Avengers bore-fest and Jurassic World that all the critics were creaming over, or something like AVATAR that everyone hyped the crap out of but is really just a crap CG Pocahontas.

Lesson learned.

Three of the most disturbing, disgusting, ugly, whining, annoying protagonists in a movie.

It was quite good. Perhaps they don't like South Africans?
share> Still don't get you people. This movie was entertaining as hell.
Why, there are many, many movies out there that are really bad, but still entertaining. This one was really bad, but it had lots of explosions and chase scenes and gun play for those people who are easily entertained and don't care about logic or common sense.

> So... all you got out of this was the action?
You know, I watched this movie on July 31 and, for the life of me, I cannot remember a single thing about this movie other than lots of explosions and gun play. And, frankly, if I can't remember anything about a movie three months after seeing it, it's a loser.
> And you think you're the intelligent one?
I am sorry. How many awards did this thing win? You know, Academy Awards, People's Choice, Kid's Choice, things like that.

shareOh man that burn went right to the core. Damn, so good. I applaud you.

It's made for people like you, I suppose..;) The fact remains, however, that the movie was terrible - on too many levels, to even entertain.
Doomsday (2008), Turbo Kid (2015) are two movies - of similar genre - one big, one small, both with an identity. Chappie doesn't have an identity... The robot failed, as well. You're trying to give it a face, but it doesn't have one. It's -just- chit, all the way. =)

What were they thinking?
So every actor should play an academy award winning movie?
Besides that, Crappies movies are making tons of money. And you *beep* about 2 good actors and movies in 1 sentence?
I think you missed the part where it says it cost $49 mil to make and took in $31 mil at the box office. In general, a movie needs to take in twice what it cost to make to just break even (remember movie house takes percentage of the ticket sales and advertising - newspaper listings - also cost money).
shareIt took in $31 mil at the American box office, yes, but $102 mil globally (src: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=chappie.htm)
So it broke even and then some.
The Numbers are reporting $105 Worldwide + $8.7 US video sales (here in France it sells very well but can't find any numbers for Europe).

Yeah dude cause of course only the American market counts, it's not like every movie stands a chance to make much, much more money in the worldwide market
Congrats on the solid logic
By the way to be noted that Chappie grossed only $100m globally and the $49m is production budget, which doesn't include marketing budget, so it probably did lose money in the end
Still, you can't only count the domestic market to make an argument like this dude, where the hell do you live, in the 70s?

Oh, so only movies that make money are worth a damn? Good to know, I'll be sure to watch all the Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller movies. I bet I'll have a great time with those then.
shareYeah I agree. I'm only part way through and it's appallingly scripted, directed and acted. Looks like a student production.

Yup. Awful *beep* film from start to end in almost every way except the graphics and cinematography. A shallow, vapid, nonsense verse of a film. Every character (inc chappie) is unlikable, boring and two dimensional, the plot (sorry what plot?) and the script are just embarrassing/non existent, and while I had no problem with the SA accents in District 9 (a great film), here they just grated and added insult to injury on top of a weak execution of a so-so concept.
One of the worst semi-mainstream/med-high budget films I've seen in a long time.
I fear for the aliens film with this guy in charge.
Agreed. I let myself get so angry when watching ridiculous flicks, when really I should get angry at myself for continuing to watch it once I realize how ridiculous it is (about 15 minutes in). Awkward, plagiarized, unoriginal, nonsensical, unintelligent roll of film. I wasted 2 or so hours - poor HJ, how much time did he waste? Did someone blackmail him into starring in that chunkyfroth?!
