    ...it involves characters from a previous movie, but they use different actors. The only exception would be if there was a major change in age.



    Example: Dumb And Dumberer. No Jim Carrey or Jeff Daniels made it doomed to failure from the beginning.

    ..if one average guy runs into a military base and single handedly kills every trained soldier on the compound... Come on now we already know the main character is going to win, At-least make him get shot in the leg or something...



    How about your typical sports movie? A huge build up to the finial game and at the last second the team the movie was made about scores and wins! Yay I totally thought they would lose!





    By the way T2 may not have been a "good" film but regardless I and many other people found it entertaining, you know what a movie is suppose to do? Entertain people?

    if physics and time dont apply. a 10 second countdown takes 60 seconds, and then people get blown away by an explosion, but somehow manage to escape without injury.



    if the movie is 'ghost ship'

    --and whats even worse is all the spin off movies like 'ghost rig' (dont worry--one time through ghost ship has kept me away from any spin off and the movie itself.)

    i think it's been pointed out a couple of times that there are exceptions to the rule, plus the movie that does it first should get some kind of exemption.....

    ...if you find yourself passing the time by holding your cat up to the screen and pretending he's making out with the actors.

    it is by no means a good film



    it might, for some of you, fall into that catagory of bad/good entertaining but it is not a good film

    Alien, on the other hand IS a good film

    If you can't see the difference then tant pis pour vous mon amis and for the notion of taste as well . . .



    ut let's not drag this thread into another Alien vs Aliens thing . . . . -nuf said



    .



    You know it's a bad movie if Blockbuster has a dozen shelves ful of it and a RainCheck gaurantee

    If its the 50's scifi flick I caught on cable the other night (don't remember the name).



    The spaceship with the scientist, flyboy and babe is going to Mars. An oxygen leak causes them to all pass out. When they wake up (?), The scientist is alarmed to find that they left throttle full open, or something.



    Actual dialogue:



    Scientist: My God! We've been under power this entire time!

    Flyboy: But, that would mean....

    Scientist: Yes. According to Einstein, we have achieved-- infinite acceleration!"

    Whatever-is-name-is is Jake Busey, by the way. And Contact and The Frighteners weren't that bad at all. The rest of your rules, however, are spot on. Now, to actually contribute to something, you know it's a bad movie if it's an MTV Films production, and I can think of nearly no exceptions to this rule.

    The first two words in the title are the same word, but in different languages.



    And a related reason... if the Mads apologize about the movie being so bad.
