Really Bad?


I heard this movie is bad, but I don't believe it. The first one was so good. Did you like this movie?

reply

What is it with 'movielovers' that they have to talk negative about a film the big audience will love to watch. "Les Rivieres Pourpres" was a fantastic film and everybody really loved it. The sequel isn't as strong, but what else is new. When I read the comment of teo-the-greek, I wonder what he thinks is a good film. If this is 'a new dimension of Bad-ness', I wonder what his criteria are. As a buyer for a big chain of video-stores I will buy a lot of DVD's and I am certain that our audience will love this film. It's not art, it's entertainment......

Well,that's exactly why I dont like big chain videostores.Because,for example, whenever I go to Blockbuster,I find 50 copies of a mediocre film and not even one of some film that I badly want to see (like DOnnie Darko-they kept asking me "Oh,you meen Donnie Brasko??"). I like entertainment as well-and if you want to see what my taste in movies is you only have to click on my name and check the boards- but this kind of arrogant "ooooh,let's make a cool action film..we need some really anti-hero cops..and,and some mysterious monks..and,and a bad NAZI who wants the secret to absolute power!Oh,and then some ridiculous explanation for all this" stuff is only a bad-bad copy of much better films. It's not bad if entertainment has some art in it,is it??
And,sorry, but not everybody loved the first one either.

Being the buyer for a big chain of videostores, it is my job to know what the consumer wants and the general public loved the first film and probably will love the second one. That doesn't mean that this film is Oscar-material, it's entertainment people like to rent for a few euro's. The thing is that I think you shouln'd use terms like you used in your original comment. It could give the impression that this film is as bas as "Pluto Nash" or "Battlefield earth" and that is not the case. As for the titels we rent, we have "Donnie Darko" in all the stores, we did great things with "Amelie" and initiated a big campaign around Michael Moore's "Bowling For Columbine". In a good rental store you can have it all and it is the job of the staff to get to know the taste of the cunsumer and that might not be the taste of the staff itself. Say what you think, but realize that it is juist one opinion.

I wish it was worse. I mean the movie wasn't good enough for me to like it, but it has some good points not to hate it.

reply

Sorry to disappoint you. Only a small audience will love this film. It is by no means entertainment but a lot of nonsense mixed together. The only good is the camera work and some locations. But apart from this, a real diappointment.

Brainless ***t movie, no sense of timing, just one long chase. Dull.

i always thought i was pretty critical when watching movies and watched Crimson Rivers 2 after i read these comments.
i expected the worst. i expected second rate directing and cashing in on the first one.
what i got was a fast paced movie with a lot of style, very good action sequences that have a certain "european flavor" to them (must be the stunt team from Yamakazi!) and an medium interesting detective story. sure, the films is pumped up with cliches, but they are worked out well. i really liked the colors and lighting.
only the ending was a let down.

This is a really bad movie. The first one was pretty good. This one is garbage.

reply

there is mindless and chaotic shooting scenes, mixed with very, very boring unimportant slow dialogue (which are trademarks for european cinema).
yep, this is bad movie.
