Movies That Should Have Been Epic

RE: Movies That Should Have Been Epic
The Usual Suspects. Was a hit when it came out, but seems to have been forgotten about I think. Just seems underrated, as most people I talk to anymore haven't even heard about it.

Edit: I'm a fackin' idiot. I read the title and posted, should have checked first. Oh well, now you know my opinion on The Usual Suspects.

I love Star Wars. It's a movie from the 70s and like most of those movies, it's campy as fuck. I enjoyed it a lot and I still watch them. Growing up, I have the original and the special editions on tape. I fucking love Ewoks. What up.


Also, on the subject of Harry Potter, it's a series for children going into their budding teens. I wouldn't describe it as unoriginal. It borrows some magical mechanics and plot direction from things we're already familiar with, but unoriginal?


As for movies that could've been more epic... I'm going to say Avatar. I was thoroughly unimpressed.


EDIT: I'm going to go ahead and defend Starship Troopers, too. Lol

every single novel which was attempted to be put onto the big screen. At least every single one I have seen is shit.

Except for "Angela`s Ashes"

And every single "motivation" movie, with a plot centered arround that person having a problem and that problem being gradualy solved - centered arround a histroric person, like "The Kings speech" ............. boooooooooooring.

How was Blade Runner a terrible movie?

If he's thinking what I'm thinking, he probably meant the original theatrical cut which was so fecked over by executive meddling that it became almost a travesty of what it should have been. The principal offense, of course, was Deckard's voice over which pulled the rug from under the entire film in the final scenes.

Incidentally, there are rumours of a Blade Runner 2 floating around, as well as a BR/Prometheus crossover.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

RE: Starship Troopers

Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong movie, as some people are defending it.

Was that the one where the big finish was Doogie Howser saying that the bug was afraid?

RE: Blade Runner

Good, but could have been a lot better without the vangelis soundtrack.

Wasn't Starship Troopers suppose to be a parody? Sort of like Spaceballs? Or The Fifth Element.
My ignore list
