I am glad it tanked


It was , quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. Loud, obnoxious, frenetic and completely devoid of charm. The human characters were unlikeable, the aliens ( from a Sci Fi art direction POV ) were unattractive and poorly thought out. A true waste of time and $150 million dollars.

"Opinions are like buttholes. Everyone has one and they all stink. "

We also have accounts and the ability to speak out and warn others to save their money and not spend it on movies like "Mars Needs Moms."

The studios don't like that we can impact their sales like that, but it is the fault of the studios for not producing quality products. Do you work for or on behalf of any studios?

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

People like you are insane and spoiled brats. This was a great film!

I really enjoyed it too! Don't understand all the hate....

"Don't understand all the hate...."

Please don't delude your lack of good taste as someone else's hatred.

I enjoyed it to and yes i have decent taste in movies.

Your opinion about my taste is irreverent to me! Have a nice day tard...

I liked this movie more than Rango ! They both were in cinemas at same time in my country !

reply

Dang someone expressing their opinion is being shotdown? Would've never seen that one coming. As an opinion: Mars Needs Moms deserved to fail on many levels such as creepy animating (there is a difference between uber realistic, and creepy) the subject of fathers is never mentioned and just its overall dumb concept. This is only an opinion.

What were you expecting exactly? I'm guessing by your post you are not <10 years old and therefor not this movies target audience. I didn't see the film and I'm sure it did suck but you sound genuinely surprised by that...

reply

are you 10 also seeing as you have an opinion on the movie too? grow up kids

"are you 10 also seeing as you have an opinion on the movie too? grow up kids"

If you want to act like a(n unwanted) parent then you might want to consider constructing replies like an adult.

Now then, are you actually inferring that having an opinion is a childish notion? Are you employing Orwellian doublethink here?

Because having an opinion is a Natural Right. Being able to speak out on that opinion is a Natural Right. You are trying to shut people up .. why? Because someone is expressing some valid criticism of this movie? Are you invested in this movie? Did you work on this movie? Are you being paid to shill on behalf of the studio that produced this movie?

Whatever you answer is (or isn't) ... you have your head inserted firmly up your rear if you believe that people are childish for having opinions that do not agree with your own. In fact, you are the one who should grow up. At any rate, it's all moot now -- this movie tanked.

completely agree
that kid looks like benjamin button, creepy, the entire computer generated faces are creepy, they want to make them look realistic, but it just isn't, and the aliens, they looks like the work of a high school computer class

lol. how many movies u saw in your life, if this is worst? 2?

reply

I liked it. When I babysit my nieces, who are 4, 6, and 8 years old, we watch movies on Netflix. This is the only thing they made me watch that wasn't pure sh!t.

You're a lunatic with a mad man's dream of a milk-proof robot!

I didnt think it was terrible but i didnt love it. 4

Saw half of it yesterday, almost cried at one point. Seriously. When he flew in to save Gribble on that rope thing, I was like "This is the 9 year old in me's favourite movie ever". It moved the hell outta me, man.

Anyways, I am STUNNED it only has a 4.6 on here. I knew the tomatometer was bad, but hey, it was for Polar Express too, and that's possibly my favourite animated film ever. But...4.6? For this? I've found it exciting, wonderful, and trippy as hell so far. You guys are all cranky or something.

Anybody else notice the bigger a film bombs, the more fanatic and over the top are it's fanboys?

dalbrech, that's funny and quite insightful, since come to think about it, that is very, very true. I have seen no shortage of films that are highly rated on sites like IMDB and Metcritic, that failed spectacularly in the open market. Take Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within for example, it was a horrible, nonsensical movie with really good CGI (for it's time, as the film has no redeeming factors today). Yet, it's highly rated on a few sites due to fanboys that do everything possible to vote as many 10's for the films rating as possible.

What I don't understand is how a film like that could even attract fans. The thing about the Spirits Within, is that it's named after a highly successful video games series (Final Fantasy) that it takes absolutely nothing from. Just about everyone I have talked to that is a fan of the video games hates the movie due to the fact that it has absolutely nothing to do with any of the video games.

I think there's just something about awful CGI movies that attracts a cult following. I don't know why, but it seems to be true. If you tell these people how terrible their movie was, they always attack you as if you just insulted their mother. I just don't get it...

what a stupid post.

reply

If you said that due to the fact that you actually like and/or endorse this movie, I'll take that as a complement.

he made a good point, mr. ten year old.

FF:TSW is Kool-Aid for Gaia-worshipping enviroweenies. The "human" CGI is weak by today's standards, but the Spirits remain some of the most visually stunning things ever put on the screen (especially a big screen).

reply

I thought the movie was unique and fun. I would have appreciated it more if I was younger, but it still was a good movie in my opinion. The premise was weak, but it's for kids. Same goes for most kids movies.

To say it's the worst movie means to say you have no taste. It's not the best movie, but the best kid's movie of the year, I think I could go as far as to say that.

I still don't know why $150mil. I can agree that it was a waste of money if that was really the cost. (What I imagine happened was that this was the pioneer of a series of movies they planned to produce using the technology and for tax purposes, placed the cost on this movie for this fiscal year end)

Marketing failed and apparently some people are turned off by the animation, but I for one was impressed(although not $150mil impressed) Congratulations on the pioneering, my sympathies for the lack of appreciation.

reply

Congratulations, the spectacular financial failure of this movie indicates the fact that nobody cares about anyone that likes this movie... or this movie in general at that.

Clearly, you the minority. A minority due to the fact that you're the only people stupid enough to become a fan of such crap.
