91% on Rotten Tomatoes?


Seriously? This was super bad.

Rotten Tomatoes is dirty.

reply

To each his own. It was one of my favorite movies released this year.

reply

Because you're a sheep.

reply

I don't care what Rotten Tomatoes says though.

I agree more with the IMDb rating right now. 7-8 range.

reply

It started off ok. Then you could just see how much they overthought the plot and had no idea where to take it. I think what did the film in commercially was basically making it a horror movie and getting everyone killed off except Imogen and Anton.

Also, everything could have been avoided had the Neo-Nazis JUST POSTED SOMEONE AT THE DOOR.

I didn't even understand why the girl was killed. I'm sure it might have been said but I didn't catch it because at times, much of the audio was hard to understand.

reply

I didn't even understand why the girl was killed.


No wonder you thought the film was bad, you don't even pay attention when you watch movies. Just like all the idiots who post here "This movie sucked! Why did this and this happen?"

reply

The audio was very bad in this movie. I was paying attention but I heard Imogen mumble something about heroin. It was BADLY explained.

Why are you so defensive about this stupid movie anyways? This is a film that couldn't even write a plausible conflict for the story. Why wouldn't those guys station someone at the door to keep people from going in? Send someone in to get the phone and bring it out. Problem solved.

reply

There was someone stationed at the door to keep people from going in. The big bouncer dude who got his arm broken. He was waiting there after they played to make sure they left before they could go back in, he only left his post to show them out. He also mentions that he thought surely they would've locked the door.

reply

Baloney, he'd never leave the door.

reply

There is nothing wrong with the audio, the talking can be quick and a tad difficult to catch but I could still here dialogue and knew what was happening. Besides this isn't a flaw with the film this is a viewer error.

reply

Alright one more reply for you. You ask "why are you so defensive about this stupid movie" well why are you being so offensive about this movie. As usual you are another moron who comes to complain about a movie he didn't pay attention to. I'm so defensive because I hate people who shift the blame from their own bias and problems and try to pass them off as flaws in the film. You and many others are guilty of this shi*. Think before you speak, there is nothing wrong with disliking the movie it's definitely not
for everyone but don't come here to shi* on fans and tick them off, it serves no purpose, especially when these "flaws" you bring up aren't flaws.

reply

It was a garbage movie, give me a break.

reply

I like how I provide a ton of valid points and all you can do is say it's a garbage movie and leave it at that. I don't care whether or not you like it I'm just saying it's stupid to point out non existent flaws. That's all good day.

reply

I pointed out the flaws.

F-k you if you want to pretend you can't read them. It's very clear you have something financial to gain from this film now.

Nice try dude. I'm done talking to studio employees. I don't have time for your s-t. You think I'm dumb, don't you?

reply

Hahahahahahahahaha. You're one of those fuc*ing idiots lmao, you seriously think people pay for good reviews let alone from some random guy on IMDb, you are an absolute moron no question. Yes you listed "flaws" which I also listed reasons why they aren't flaws but people like you have their head so far up their ass that no matter how concrete of an argument I provide you will believe what you want, I sincerely hope you wise up buddy whether or not you like the film I don't care but you really have some knowledge to gain, once again have a good day.

reply

Overthought the plot? Lmao this film has a really simple and small plot.

reply

Are you special ed? You must not have been paying attention to Patrick Stewart's character and the Neo-Nazi's when they were making their plans. Moron.

reply

Believe me I was. Special ed? Are you saying this plot isn't simple? If so then you're a moron.

reply

If you didn't understand why they killed the girl you didn't pay attention, blame it on the audio all you want. It was mentioned several times why and it was because she was leaving her boyfriend. So many scenes explained it yet you still didn't pick up on it.

"Also, everything could have been avoided had the Neo-Nazis JUST POSTED SOMEONE AT THE DOOR." If that situation was avoided there would be no movie...

reply

Don't care, it's still not a good movie. It's called bad writing, bad direction and it is the fault of the film makers. It's just that simple. I'm not the only one that brought this up. "You didn't get it" is not an excuse. Thanks.

reply

Yet you can't explain why it's bad writing and make any valid points while doing so.

The things you do argue are easily dismissed, like this one: "I didn't even understand why the girl was killed." Lol...


reply

I mean I do agree with the comment about the audio. I paid close attention and I have understood much more complex movies than this, but I had trouble following some of these plot points because they were mumbled/hard to hear. I still like the movie, but I feel like I have to give it a second watch just to catch a lot of easily missed key points that are treated more like throwaway dialogue.

This is also coming from a guy who wonders why the Warcraft movie did well in China...

He clearly isn't bright.

reply

It's popular in the US, South Korea, Japan, other Asian countries and Europe but didn't really do that well there.

Unless you can explain THAT, you're not really as f-king smart as you think.

reply

China has the highest amount of World of Warcraft players worldwide at 3.2 million. It makes perfect sense, you just don't care to do research or use your brain.

North America may have 3 million players but is overrun with the obesity. North American nerds are for the most part are lazy and rarely leave the house. The Chinese being more obsessed with fantasy genre stuff like Warcraft will actually leave their houses to go to movie theaters.

So ya, I just explained it for the most part. I am as f-king smart as I think. I understood green room something you have yet to do.

That first paragraph was going so well for you until the second one happened.

You're smart? Maybe in the special ed center you go to everyday.

Goodbye.

reply

Everything I said is true and once again you add nothing to your argument just insults. Yes America is obese. Don't get offended by the truth.

I shouldn't expect better from the guy who "didn't even understand why the girl was killed."


reply

i agree, this movie is garbage, i gave it 3/10. i rearly give 3 , but everything is bad in this movie. plot, characters, ending, everything.

reply

Really? Everything was bad in this movie. You sir are a moron because there are certain things about this movie that are un deniably great.

reply

A quick look at thebrick's comment history reveals that he is quite dumb. How shocking.

reply

The real question is, why did you care enough to dig through my comment history? Obviously, you cared enough to. Am I that much of a threat to whatever you're doing on here? Shilling for this movie or something?

Go to hell.

reply

Well, whenever someone says that a movie is bad, I'm always interested to see what this person thinks is a good movie. It's all relative. So I clicked, and checked out 2 posts, one where you posit that Chappie is a great movie that is only trashed by "hipster haters" with an agenda. And another that was nothing but whining or trolling. It took 30 seconds to reveal your either complete stupidity or terrible taste. Just calling it as I see it, sir.

reply

Holy freaking cow, what's up with the smear campaign? You're that pathetic and bored as an intern for the studio that made this movie?

Go to hell, seriously. You're bad at your job, punk.

reply

That's right. Your pathetic trolling can't be plainly seen and called out as it is, it's a massive conspiracy against you, set upon by a powerful movie studio. Oh, the injustice.

reply

I have to wonder why this movie means so much to you? It's just a dumb movie that should have gone straight to video. Quit being an ahole.

reply

I actually think it's the best movie of the year so far. I do have to wonder why a dumb movie that should have gone straight to video means so much to you though. I actually came to this board to see if anyone had any good reasons why they disliked it, but all the negative threads here are like yours, and just boil down to "totally sux bro". And, like I said, someone who dedicates most of their posts to whining or trolling, doesn't have and opinion anyone should listen to.

reply

You're a crackhead. Wow.

reply

Don't be so upset sweetie. Just take a few deep breaths.

reply

You thought chappie was good?! Hahahahahahahahaha TC automatically fails and all his arguments are nothing now

reply

This movie sucks but thebricks gives chappie high praise? Sure taste is everything but chappie LOL

reply

Lol not surprised at all.


"I didn't even understand why the girl was killed." Lol...

Listen to this podcast with Saulnier http://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/4/7/f/47f5ea66e7f7f855/JeremySaulnierGreenRoomQandA.mp3?c_id=11485144&expiration=1468981120&hwt=ea1bfc5167e850a0c2aa39b713c6b256. You can tell how talented and smart this dude really is- this film is a reflection of that. If you don't get it, you don't get it.

Well, send me a postcard from Paradise.

reply

Wait, wait, wait, where the f-k are you getting off on acting like this film was high art? Because it most certainly wasn't. You studio interns are downright PATHETIC.

Get a better job. Seriously.

reply

If hes a studio intern hes got a better job than you'll ever have that's for sure.

reply

Not if he's on the IMDB pathetically trying to lie about this movie to people.

You're probably their sock account.

reply

OP is one of those type of movie viewers that half ass pays attention to what's on screen, asks questions because they aren't paying attention, then comes online to moan about how "that movie sucked" and also have the movie explained to them because they don't get it.

reply

"I didn't even understand why the girl was killed."

Lol

reply

LOL!

reply

It wasn't a complex movie.

And sorry, I don't have access to the plot synopsis the studio gave you in your folder to shill on here, lol!

reply

Overrated for sure, but bad? Hardly.

reply

Overrated for sure


I totally disagree with you.

reply

From the critics it got the praise it deserved. From the mainstream it's getting all this hate that it doesn't deserve, before you know it the rating for this will possibly go below a 7, at that point I would declare this underrated.

reply

Ratings on rotten tomatoes dictate what you watch?

Imdb is pretty inline with most my ratings for movies...I don't care what rotten tomatoes thinks...but then I do still on occasion miss a movie I should have seen because I believe the critical hate received...

Point being? Find a more reliable source that fits your tastes than rotten tomatoes and rarely will you be led astray ~~~

reply

Look, I watched this film just because I like the punk subculture and liked the cast. It was one of my favourite movies from this year. That you didn't like it doesn't mean it's trash. You are an idiot.
