This movie was NOT BAD!!


Why does everyone hate this movie so much? Sure it was quite different from the tone of the original, but if you look at the movie for what it is, then you can enjoy it.
Don't tell me I am the only person who liked it...

guess you were.

Nope, I actually thought that it was pretty good too, besides the ending.

no, it wasn't bad, it was WORSE than bad.

It was indeed bad, but I enjoy bad movies as long as they're not boring, and this had some pretty scary scenes.

What can I say ............. Sheeps. This was a very good film. It was enjoyable. It has some flaws, I don't mind small flaws as long as the movie is enjoyable and entertaining. I would prefer to watch this movie over Godfather, Holy Mountain, Eraserhead, American Beauty etc ...............

Its current rating is shocking. At least it deserves a 6.5 IMHO :)

While I disagree with the second to last sentence in your post (assuming the last one isn't your sig) with every fiber of my being, I can't say this movie was horrible. I was made to watch this in 8th grade, right after the original and we were just happy to be watching movies. Lands end is nowhere near it's predecessor, but I feel it would be better received if it wasn't passing itself off as a sequel. If it was a made for TV movie Birds:Second Strike special; no complaints from me.

I'd rate this a 5.9 if the original was a 10.

I like all the films you mentioned, but I also found this enjoyable. I can't defend it as an important film, and it fails considerably as a sequel, but it's entertaining nonetheless. All the 1 votes are basically a knee-jerk reaction that shows what kind of society we live in today, where everything is black and white with no room for gray. 6/10 stars from me.

Gotta agree with you on that final statement. Most people don't take the time to think past "i don't like it" if they did they would see that most films they talk poorly of, have redeeming qualities.

reply

Indeed. There are films I particularly like and films I particularly don't, but I almost always find something in a movie to carry my interest. Filmmakers spend months and even years on a project, and I'm fully willing to spend 90 minutes or so savoring their efforts. This isn't a great movie, but I appreciate the work involved and was never bored.

I was looking forward to it when I first heard of it, waited all week to record it... hated it, and didn't watch it again since. I gave it a 2/10 and rarely go that low. The lighthouse keeper scaring the girls saved it from a one.

It wasn't that bad for what it is: a TV-movie with a small budget and unknown performers, plus a director who has decided to sign as Alan Smithee. But I've seen much much worse e.g: The Blind Side. That was meaningless crap with bad acting!

reply

Some scenes were good but in general, it was very weak.

"Evil Birds" aka "Beaks: The Movie" (1987) was much better

reply

I agree

It's a bad movie, but I'd still watch it over crud like Sharknado.
