Speed Racer... if anybody went more than "oh that" or "I liked the cartoon back when" then I accuse them of lying.
I enjoyed the movie. I saw it in the theater on a whim, saw the poster and said "why not"; I had no expectations and was really pleasantly surprised. It's visually spectacular, looks great on the big screen, I really liked the hyperstylized action, and I also appreciate that it was completely genuine, no matter how completely ridiculous the setting and plot were, the movie was not campy or self-aware (or self-parodying). For some reason it worked for me.
Jupiter Ascending
Oh dear. Spawned its own cottage industry of video essays covering why it is so bad.
Video essays claiming stuff is bad are a dime a dozen, you can find them for any given movie. And they are for the most part so lazy and low-effort, there's a cottage industry of "everything wrong with '
Everything wrong with' " videos. So yeah
Anyway, you just have to read the intro to know exactly what you're in for with Jupiter Ascending: the main character is a former special forces soldier, genetically enhanced with
wolf DNA, and he used to have
wings but they were
cut off so now he's a brooding
literally fallen angel ninja with a murky past [*rollerblades behind you* "
Heh nothing personell kid" ORIGINAL CHARACTER DONUT STEEL]. This sets the tone and mind frame for the entire movie
perfectly. It's an (again, visually impressive at the time) romp through every 80s anime cliche, written by a huge giant weeb, with beautiful scenery that gets magnificently chewed on by the actors, and then blown up.
Anyway, back to the Matrix; full trailer up:
