Could it be so bad that it's good ala Mario Bros?

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

As a watcher of so-bad-it's-good movies, I don't have high hopes. This movie looks like it will play straight down the middle of being competent enough while also not being weirdly creative in any way at all. That's a recipe for the most boring kind of movie.

The 90's Mario movie was terrible, but also absolutely bonkers, giving it some cult viewing value.

I've seen some others going in with that expectation, and the general consensus seems to be that its slow and extremely by-the-numbers, with nothing done badly enough to be funny or interesting. Its just bad in a boring way.

Nah it's just bad. A lot of generic tropes.

Nah, don't think so. Was in limbo for 3 years and they cut all the gore. Seems like a boring, competent made movie for no one.

Look at the top and you can see the crew man opening the hatch

[–] Iapar@feddit.org 3 points 3 months ago

Alright alright I take it back. There is just no excuse for that.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 3 months ago

Competent? Not from the clips I've seen.

[–] Anissem@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

That movie deserved an award. Not a great award, but an award.
