I’m sure I’d have had something to say about Tangled if I had seen it, either good or bad. More than Tron Legacy. All I remember is Shia LaBeouf was in it

Lost Soul- Fasinating documentary about off-kilter cult director Richard Stanley’s attempts to film Welles’ The Island or Doctor Moreau, which eventually transitioned into the notoriously terrible John Frankheimer film. The whole production spiraled so far out of control that it’s almost comical and sad at the same time. A look an indie outsider who got caught up in the Hollywood studio system machine. Arguably a much more interesting story than the mess of a film. If you’re interested in the filmmaking process, and how bad and out-of-control things can get, or just want to see a frankly fascinating story, check it out.

I think Tron Legacy is underrated, as you’ve just done.

A “B-” is underrated? That’s like a “it was pretty good, but a bit lacking in important areas,” which he explained.

From what I can remember of high school, a B- was considered an unexceptional grade barely above mediocre.

Escape Plan- Stallone and Schwarzenegger, together at last. This would be been the biggest film ever made back in the 90s. Now it’s a modestly-budgeted throwback action movie that deliberately evokes the 80s movies it wants to emulate. Some critics yawned, and they’re entitled to; its a couple of decades out of date. But if you’re willing to put yourself in that mindset, it can also be kind of fun watching Rambo and the Terminator try to escape a sci-fi prison run by Jesus. Some interesting bits of production design, and an enjoyably daft plot involving a futuristic prison-break. Nothing complicated, but it doesn’t intend to be, and Sly and Arnold are, at long last (Expendables excluded), a fun pairing. Vinnie Jones has another role as a brawny henchman. An enjoyable old-style action picture if you like that kind of stuff. And I do.

The Hobbit Part One (2012)
It’s really terrible.

Why do you think this?

Here’s a quick list:
-It looks bad.
-Effects are uneven to put it nicely.
-No chemistry with the cast.
-Boring interpretations of the characters.
-Stupid “humor”.
-Too many additions to the story just to make it an “epic” trilogy.
-Over reliance on phony looking CGI.
-Bad acting.
-Bad dialog.

It’s really terrible.

If you think that, definitely don’t watch the other two. The first one is far and away the best of the three.

I remember watching them and thinking to myself “why does it feel this much longer than LotR?” “It’s just so boring”

The Hobbit movies were bad and Peter Jackson admits this due to studio interference and not being able to plan it out the way he wanted. The behind-the-scenes is fascinating in how blunt it is about how troubled the production was, a fascination only behind the Phantom Menace BTS.

The Hobbits are remarkably watchable considering the insanely rushed circumstances. I don’t think any of them are bad, though I will say I didn’t like the third very much.

^That, except I would call the third one bad, but semantics.

I didn’t watch the second two Hobbit movies. I was extremely opposed to them making a trilogy out of it.

I feel bad for everyone involved in the Hobbit movies, especially Guillermo Del Toro and Peter Jackson.

This may fall under “too many additions to the story,” but if I made my own list it’d be exactly like yours except I’d add “needlessly 3-hours long.”
