I agree. The ideas presented resonated with me as a 17 year old. Watching it years later I still enjoy it as a film but I certainly don't buy into any of the thoughts of the lead characters.
I could not sit through Anchorman 2. I was hoping the battle scene would redeem it but I remember it all looking professional compared to the first one. The charm of the first one was how low budget and random it was (man walking through on fire gets me every time).
This is a great topic from the OP as I agree 100%. I didn't see any of your list in cinema other than Iron Man 2.
I think what solidified MiB2 as being absolutely horrible is a month after seeing it in cinema I sat through it again on a flight. This was back in the days of one movie for all on flights.
Since then I'd say Anchorman 2 and Inbetweeners 2 are also up there as terrible sequels.
Impossible. It's been a music store for 30 years. No days off for good behaviour.
I thought she was fine. I just couldn't believe that anyone would be more attracted to her than Angela Bassett.
My opinion as a huge Unbreakable and big Split fan on this is that the middle just went nowhere. Those movies were slowburns but they kept building tension and suspense. This one felt more like stalling until the resolution.
Not to mention house them all in a low security psych ward within a taxi ride of down town. Such a fail M Night.
Plus they decided not to review security footage of how he had wheeled himself out in to the hallway. Just explain it away as he was drawn to music lol.
I agree. I've read since that he was going for a superhero version of One Flew. He missed the mark, the psych ward stuff was boring, predictable, ridiculous (as you hilariously pointed out) and lacking any depth or new ideas.
I love the high security psych ward allowing 3 highly dangerous criminals to come together for a group session in the facilities gym.
After seeing him play the menacing alien bounty hunter in X-Files he really made me laugh in Joe Dirt.
I liked the beginning and the ending fine. It was the hour of pointless pop-psycho analysis that had me drifting off. There were no fresh ideas introduced throughout the treatment of these individuals. Just stalling for a final confrontation you could see a mile away.
I'm not a Marvel fan so I wasn't expecting that. I love Unbreakable and like Split, which are both slow but do a great job of building tension.
She just stated the obvious about their conditions - which is fine for a few scenes to establish the point of her character.
I especially found the group therapy session painful to sit through. It just went nowhere.
I just found the what seemed like 30mins of denying they are superheros silly. We all know they are so you aren't creating any tension for the audience. The part really dragged for me.
Terrible role. Basically just stalled the movie for an hour with that storyline that wound up being pointless. Would have much rather had 30mins of catching up with David Dunn in the real world.
Funny point with this review is they specifically state when the events are happening after Split.
I thought it was very average. The first two are slow movies but they never drag, the majority of this one dragged as there just wasn't enough story for 2hrs.
Throwing in the towel does still happen in real life. Not sure what that other post is talking about.
In the 11th, Haye was sent through the ropes by a combination and by then McGuigan had seen enough as he threw in the towel to bring an end to Haye's punishment.

It is on itunes in great quality.
As opposed to Batman Begins 2 and "Batman Begins 3 - Still Beginning".
Batman climbing Everest
Beetlejuice
Ugh. I was thinking 4 episodes to finally kill off the terrible storyline of William. I was willing to forgive that terrible finale.
And then Chris Carter just can't help himself :(
