My Top 5 Guilty Pleasures
13 years ago
Here is my top 5 guilty pleasures which consists of cartoons and movies and why i like them despite not being that great.
5. Captain Planet
Yes this show was preachy as hell but you know what, i kinda like this show. I understand that they wanted to inform us all that pollution is wrong, but when you ignore the whole we must protect the environment message, the cartoon is actually entertaining. As a kid, i loved the plot, the villians and the closing theme song.
4. Spider-man 3
This movie was hated for numerous reasons, but when i watched it in theatres it was okay. There was plenty to like about Spider-man 3, Spider-man was no longer labeled as a menace, the special effects for Sandman were awesome and i was happy to see Venom in this movie period. Speaking of Venom, i personally thought that the actor who played him was a good choice. Even though Venom had little screen time at the end, i enjoyed the final battle. To be fair there were things in this movie i did not like. Like giving Sandman a family(Yes i get that their purpose in this movie is to make him a sympathetic villian compared to venom, but still), making the symbiote introduction half-assed, making peter have a stupid haircut just to show that he's possessed by the symbiote, having venom's face peel back when he does have screen time and having an empty "Is that it ending". Despite it all i enyoyed the movie.
3. Inspector Gadget
I didn't watch every single episode of this cartoon but when i heard that hollywood was going to make a live action movie of this cartoon, i was excited. I thought that the movie was so fun that i watched it twice on the same year. The Nostalgia Critic may have hated it, but i didn't. Unlike him, i found the sound effects and segways distracting than annoying, i liked how we got to see what dr claw would look like and i found some of the jokes funny. But as much as i liked this movie, i too found that talking car to be annoying and obnoxious as frak.
2. X-Men the Last Stand
X-men the last stand was another movie i watched twice. I personally thought that it was much better than the first x-men movies. The action was engaging, some of the scenes were well performed and i was shocked and amazed that this movie would add the "juggernaut bitch" meme to this movie. My only compliants about this movie are storm's new hair design, only 6 of the x-men versus a mutant army and that cyclops was killed off (just so that he could be in the superman movie). Once agin in my opinion, this movie is the best x-men movie in the series
1. Street Fighter
And my number one guilty pleasure is Street Fighter the movie. This movie got negative reviews and it was considered awful because of certain problems, but i like this movie. The reasons why this movie wasn't the best movie around was because the director wrote the screenplay within 24 hours and the story wasn't in par with the game. I actually give this movie props for making the characters look like the game and i liked the group shot at the end which was a homage to the game itself. In the game, ryu was the main hero, but in this movie guile is the main hero because he's jean-claude van damme. I may be a purist for these kind of things, but i had no compliants about the story. Bison is a dicator who wants to rule the world and it's up to the US Government to stop him led by Guile. I never played or learned about the street fighter universe before watching this movie and so i had once believed that the movie got the facts correct. For example, when i played Street Fighter Alpha 3, i asked myself how come charlie and blanka are seperate from one another? To be honest, i found Blanka's transformation from a man to a green skined brute from the movie to be as believable as the game story. The other reason why this movie was entertaing and fun was r julia's acting as bison. I thought that he's protrayl as m. bison was so good and so convincing that i had no doubt that no one could do better. This is a prime example that video games adapted into live action don't always make box office hits, but it's also a movie that would be consider it's so bad it's good. But if you want to watch a good street fighter movie, then check out Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie.
And there's my list. I hope that if they make a sequel from "The Amazing Spider-man" movie, venom will play a large in it this time.
