Welcome back to the wonderful world of awful films. We are on posting #34 for awful films. This is one of my best and favorite series going on. Who wouldn’t love to watch bad movies that will make you scratch your head and wonder why you sat through the film. This time around I have some high quality bad films that are just perfection on everything you shouldn’t do in film. As usual, get that check actors and experience.
The Sting II (1983)
The original Sting starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford conning mob boss who was played by Robert Shaw was entertaining and awesome. I highly recommend watching that film. The Sting II, well, let’s just say that it shouldn’t have been made. Starring Jackie Gleason, Mac Davis, Teri Garr, Karl Malden and Oliver Reed, it is a film that fails miserably in all ways. This is a prime example that you don’t need a sequel to a movie. This film had zero sting to it.
Paycheck (2003)
Paycheck is one of those films where you are not talking about your paycheck but something entirely different. A movie so bad that it was one of three movies that Ben Affleck was nominated for a Razzie in the same year. Yikes! The story was okay and could’ve been better, but the execution was terrible and all over the place. You might want your own memory wiped clean after watching this film. It could’ve been a lot better, but it seemed to focus more on the action rather than the storyline.
The Matrix Revolutions (2003)
This pains me to put on the list but the “final” entry in the Matrix trilogy was a MAJOR letdown. The first film was iconic. The second film was more action packed but a little less than the original. The third film was a complete waste of time. The story was so bad for a conclusion and the film focused way more on the special effects that honestly were not that good. Everything that was done so well crafting the first two films was thrown out the window. The final fight scene failed, and the ending was blah.
S. Darko: A Donnie Darko Tale (2009)
Donnie Darko is a cult film. It is one of those films that you appreciate as the years go by with the complexities of the story. Sometimes or 95% of the time, a movie doesn’t need a sequel. Donnie Darko didn’t need a sequel and yet we got one. S. Darko is set seven years after the first film with none of the original cast. His sister is the one who has all of Donnie things like sleepwalking and hallucinations. The story was just awful, and it was mind-numbing to watch.
London Fields (2018)
I took a chance to watch London Fields as it was on PlutoTV. I was thinking that it couldn’t be that bad or awful as everyone said it was. It starred Amber Heard (no matter what you think of her), Billy Bob Thornton and a few others. It’s a mystery film about a writer who can’t write and blah, blah, blah. I’m not sorry to say that this movie is straight up awful. The whole feel with the noir aspect failed miserably. This movie is straight up a dumpster fire. You can go to London and have a far better time than this film.
