Bangkok Dangerous tomatometer SMH
« on: December 18, 2008, 12:37:05 PM »




this is a joke right

right?
I was mad but then i noticed that pretty much every review was written by a complete tool:

Quote
A by-the-numbers retread that’s ill-conceived as an action vehicle for Cage.
:hurr
Quote
Just another cycle of bombast and boredom.

Quote
This could have been good.
and you could have been a filmmaker
Quote
A torpid Cage hitman-action piece inoculated with an Asian strain.

Quote
The film is handsomely cold looking, but so generic that it's hard to work up much interest in its car chases, shoot outs and frequent breaks to ogle the firm young flesh for sale in Bangkok's fleshpots.

ugly feminist. next.
Quote
Toxic and tedious, it's 'Bangkok Boring.'

some mom that thinks shes witty and "fun". next.
Quote
Here's a note to Nicolas Cage: Your stylist hates you. Your director and screenwriters? Not so far behind.

Quote
Certainly lives down to its title, which sounds like a caveman giving travel advice.

fraternity rapist makes shitty joke that doesnt make any fucking sense. next.
Quote
Heavy on the spice and cheap on the meat, Bangkok Dangerous adds plenty of Thai seasoning to the Hollywood lone-assassin recipe, but the result is only mildly pungent.
oh jesus christ



Conclusion:  Bangkok Dangerous is movie of the fucking year.  Discuss.

You can cherry-pick groaners from bad reviews of pretty much any bad film.

Pretty much. Universally panned movies give low-ranking reviewers an excuse to attempt to be funny and use lots of puns.

even fans of the Pang Bros. (and I'd count myself among them) would tell you that they run hot and cold.  I wouldn't be surprised at all that they made another shitty American movie (see also, The Messengers).

and need I remind the world what is already obvious, Nic Cage hasn't had the best last several years (HOW'D IT GET BURNED).
