Did this really deserve to win Razzie for Worst Picture?
Realistically speaking, are Kevin's family really responsible for him ending up in NY?
A misfire from Nolan?
Even if they'd gone with the original ending...
The Definitive, if Unsurprising, Ranking of the Jaws Movies
On my most recent rewatch, I noticed something...
Transformers (2007) was better
Why does this movie get flak for the CGI?
WTF Janis!?

Nedry is a probable addict who likely gambled or overspent everything he got. Very overweight people are frequently addicts in multiple domains, and their addictions are often very destructive and poorly managed.
He likely bid low on the job because he was immensely talented (another result of his addictive tendencies) but often unconscientious, which led to his disastrous escape attempt and whatever previous mistakes Hammond was referring to.
The “evil capitalist who ruins everything” is quite stale at this point, might you agree? Even if Hammond had paid everyone through the roof, things could still have gone wrong in the exact same way if Dodgson was able to offer more (and the inciting incident had nothing to do with worker’s compensation).
I have to say, Tenet was easily one of the most disappointing movie experiences from recent memory - so much so that I've not even bothered with Oppenheimer.
Discovered how to copy and paste now, have we?
Well done...
<blockquote> It sucks and it's highly regarded as the worst of the sequels </blockquote>
That’s weird. Last I checked, IMDb still rates it at #4 out of the 10 movies.
See for yourself: https://m.imdb.com/list/ls527952892/
Now granted, it’s only one source but a very reliable one at that - one that’s based on public polls and not one subjective opinion.
Plus, many fans I’ve spoken to consider it among the best as well.
And you have yet to give any real reason as to why Saw III is as objectively bad as you claim.
Why should we take your word for it?
That’s your opinion.
Many found it very interesting and captivating, particularly in the way it explored the relationship between John and Amanda, and his psychology (though some found the brutality a bit much).
There’s a reason it remains the top grossing entry in the franchise, and among the highest rated of the sequels.
From best to worst:
1. Saw X
2. Saw II
3. Saw III
4. Saw VI
5. Saw IV
6. Jigsaw
7. Saw V
8. Saw 3D/VII
9. Saw
10. Spiral
How so?
That doesn't mean she shouldn't hold herself somewhat accountable for how things escalated.
I understand why she was annoyed with Cady over the whole art show/party dilemma, but she should've also cut slack and recognised that it wasn't a deliberate betrayal. Cady just got carried away with newfound popularity, having never experienced anything like it before.
I enjoy it, but it’s more a guilty pleasure than anything else. While it does have it’s charm and some genuinely funny moments, it mostly follows the typical sequel formula of being basically a pointless rehash of the first, only bigger and stupider.
The Meg is decent, but could’ve benefited from more “edge”
The Shallows, while entertaining and very technically proficient, is overall just a run-of-the-mill survival movie we’ve seen a million times beforehand. And it doesn’t have a great deal of rewatch value either.
Deep Blue Sea, while not completely original, is much more unique by killer shark movie standards with more thrills, surprises, and overall rewatch value.
Plus, I appreciate the Jurassic Park homages as well as the Jaws nods.
