I’m not even sure how you would apply that term to a movie. It’s either a bad movie or a good movie. I guess if you cant remove yourself from the “reality” of it, and just be entertained for an hour and half, then no movie would really be good for you other than documentaries.
F&F 1 and 3 were great movies, for the entertainment value, nothing else. Again, if you are looking for realism, watch documentary’s like “Slingshot” which can be entertaining, but in a different way. Just like if you are looking for GOOD horror, “classic” horror films were terrible (excluding the first Halloween movie and some select others). However, they were very entertaining. “New” Horror (Event horizon, The strangers, The orphanage, the Ring 1 not 2) are much better at instilling a sense of “dread” in the watcher, but may not be as entertaining as some of the older films. Unless we want to talk about slasher films, which are a different deal all together.
I actually went to school for film, so I can be an arrogant bastard about my movie choices. :haha:
In the end, it really just depends on what you’re looking for I think. If you’re willing to shut your brain off for a while, they can be great films. If you can’t do that, then they are definitely not for you. |
