Fun Stuff > ENJOY
Movies that are considered bad that you enjoyed.
J:
i disagree to an extent. a film that successfully accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do is at least worthy of a bit of respect, regardless of whatever that happened to be.
Method of Madness:
See, I'm the opposite. If it utterly failed in its intention, but accidentally succeeds in another (for example, a movie that tried to be scary and ended up hilarious), then it's still a good movie. If a movie tried to be boring and was boring, then...their intention was stupid. Result is the only thing that matters.
Thrillho:
I disagree with that entirely. Flash is absolute trash but wants to be, and it is entertaining trash. It is ridiculous to give more credit to a film that attempts to be serious horror and ends up as hilarious bullshit than to a film that wants to be trash and SUCCEEDS at being trash. How can that possibly work, Method?
Similarly, a good film can be ruined by its intentions for me. I long ago stopped enjoying Shrek because it is a product of sheer spite against Disney. It's funny, yes, but it's one of the most mean-spirited films I've ever seen.
Still, I wouldn't call Flash a 'good movie.' A cult classic, perhaps, like Troll 2 or something.

Yeah, I guess it doesn't. To be fair, when I go to see those horror movies, I fully expect them to fail as horror and go into them expecting a comedy. So I guess I override their intention with mine? I dunno. But something that's "so bad it's good" is still good.

You also have to understand the time frame when Flash Gordon came out. It was an attempt to compete with stuff like Superman and Star Wars, and it kinda failed at both.
And the willing suspension of disbelief went out the window when they decided that he was the quarterback of the New York Jets...
