People Are Sharing All The Signs That A Movie Is Going To Be Terrible, And Here Are 30 Of The Most Accurate Ones
Interview With Author
You grab your giant tub of delicious crispy popcorn (salted, not sweet, of course) and with a wide smile on your face, you take a seat in one of the red velvet cinema chairs. It’s been ages since you’ve seen a movie at the cinema and you’re practically vibrating with happiness!
The previews are always awesome, but then the movie starts and… oh, sweet Jesus no! It’s--it’s terrible. Yuck. You should’ve seen it coming—there were plenty of signs after all. And now you feel like you’ve wasted your money and time. Oh well, at least you’ve still got your popcorn, right?
You’re not alone if you’ve started mentally collecting all the telltale signs that a film’s going to be a waste of your time. The folks over on r/AskReddit have shared their own red flags that a movie is bound to be awful and we invite you to scroll down and have a read. Got any other signs that they missed but you’d love to share? That’s what the comment section is for, dear Pandas! Meanwhile, let’s check out these horror movie signs and pick out the most accurate ones.
I had a lovely and in-depth chat about the line between good and bad movies with redditor Thats_What_Sh3_Sa1d who is an aspiring filmmaker and who created the viral thread in the first place. They told Bored Panda that everyone's responses helped them get a sense of where quality does and doesn't lie.
"I wanted to create this thread because I want to make movies myself, and I thought that if I could get some of Reddit's opinions on what makes a bad movie, then I could get a better sense as to what makes a good one. I had wanted to get at least a little bit of attention so I can get some answers to what makes a bad movie, but I didn't expect this much attention," they shared. You'll find our full interview with the original poster below, so be sure to read on.

I feel like a lot of movies tend to repeat a certain joke in many of their trailers, to the point in which it's not as funny in the movie itself anymore. An example I can think of is the movie "Soul". It was an excellent movie, but they used the whole "You can't eat pizza as a soul" scene in what felt like every damn trailer.

The thread, started up by redditor Thats_What_Sh3_Sa1d, quickly grew in popularity. At the time of writing, it had gotten over 49.2k upvotes in the span of a single day. What’s more, it got a whopping 21.7k comments. And that proves that redditors really do care about what they watch. (And, let’s be honest… who doesn’t like complaining about the movie industry from time to time?) Keep in mind though, even awful movies can have some merit. We’ve all been there—a movie we’re watching is so mind-numbingly bad that at some point it starts to be good.
In redditor Thats_What_Sh3_Sa1d's opinion, the dialogue and all of the various movie effects help determine whether the project will be a success or not. "I'm not exactly a movie critic, but I will say that the line between a good and a bad movie depends on dialogue, whether or not the lines that characters say to each other makes sense or contributes something to the film, whether or not the CGI or maybe the VFX looks good or not because that really makes an impact on a movies likeability, at least for me," they said.
"And of course if it has a good back story, if it's really going to catch your attention, that also plays a part in a movies likeability," they added.

Another red flag I notice are the actors as portrayed on Movie Posters. The above is a great example! Without even having a clue of what the TV show or movie is, I often look at the poses of the actors and you can see on their faces and body language "who" their character is. Always the Tough Guy, the Overweight Buffoon, the Sex Pot Bitch, the Sweet Happy girl-woman, the Stern, Capable Female who is just as capable as the Boys, the Drunk Goof who will come through in the end, the crabby old guy who really as a heart of gold...etc. Zzzzz. I make a game out of reading the body language and expressions. I figure if movie or show has to try this hard to put it all out there and show you the stereotypical beings of their stereotypical roles, it's going to be a dog of a movie. Heaven forbid you just figure it out as you watch, and the characters are multifaceted, interesting and don't have to explain the whole thing using 1 photo.

I have 3 movie-loving children and I can assure you this wasn't as bad as Trolls.
I was curious to get the redditor's take on whether we all instinctively know whether a movie is going to be a waste of our time or not. In their mind, it all depends on the audience in question. "I personally like action movies, but I also like a little bit of romance, so if I was going to watch a movie about the history of a company, for example, I would think that it would be a waste of time. Whereas some people might think the exact opposite."
As for why filmmakers tend to make the same mistakes over and over (and over) again boils down to their lack of taste which they may not have fully developed yet. "The people making the movie either don't know what makes a good movie, or they think that a bad movie is a good one. Now again, I'm not saying that I'm a movie critic and I know everything there is to know about film, but I, and most people I think, know a bad film when they see one, and maybe some people don't. And in my opinion, for the situation to be able to change, the people making the movie should be informed as to what makes a good film rather than what makes a bad film," they shared.

Counterpoint to "all remakes are bad": There have been dozens of good, worthy remakes, where the director has another take/makes other points about then-current society. True Grit, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978 remake!), some Godzillas, Scarface, The Magnificent Seven (almost as good, and different, to Kurosawa's). And of course, Hitchcock remaking his own film 20y later, better (The Man Who Knew Too Much). And Cronenberg's The Fly!! There's dozens of versions of Dracula, and the best are the second ("Nosferatu") and Coppola's 1992 version. Little House on the Prairie? Anne of Green Gables? War and Piece? Of most classic books there's multiple good versions.
Aamna Shah 4 years ago
Yessss! I love the classic Disney movies. I love the animation, the attention to detail, characterization in many of them and the hand drawn images. I hate the Disney live action versions which strip the movies of their magic. Lion King itself is a great example of that. Simba is so animated and expressive as a cartoon character that a CGI lion just cannot be. The thing with Disney is that they've lost most of their creative and immensely talented people. They lost them because they stopped caring about originality and creativity. Now they only care about profits and they are cashing on the element of nostalgia that the older Disney movies generate. Every other year, they repackage some old movie and destroy its authenticity because they can't be bothered with working hard. The original, hand drawn movies would take years to complete but they were masterpieces for a reason. You can see the labor of love in them.

Something very interesting that redditor Thats_What_Sh3_Sa1d pointed out to me was movie directors may not be at fault for making bad films. "A film can be bad just because it's bad," they told Bored Panda, pointing to 2017's 'Justice League' as an example.
"Justice League 2017 was not the best movie out there. It was so bad in fact, that they had to re-make it. And the remake was a lot better than the original because it had different directors/ However, just because it was better, doesn't mean that everybody liked it. I'm sure there were people who didn't like the better remake for whatever reason. And that's what I mean when I say a film can be good or bad despite the director," they shared that there's far more nuance involved than we expect. And reality is far from black and white, just like the view on the silver screen.

Honestly, what critics say never matters to me so I don't check they have to say.

If you read it at end of the day you will laugh at it. Same thing if you read critic first you already made up your mind how movie is going to play out. Now even if you watch it you will not enjoy it.

Whether the creators of the movie were self-aware or you learn to find the humor in the bad taste, either way, you inexplicably start enjoying yourself. It doesn’t happen with every gosh darn bad movie, but when it does, it’s magical. It’s a cult hit. It’s something you recommend to your friends.
The secret to bad movies being good, according to Uku Tooming in ‘The Puzzle of Good Bad Movies’ published in the Journal of Aesthetic Education, is that they give filmmakers a chance to experiment with the artistic possibilities of the project more than if the film were more mainstream. In other words, good bad filmmaking is intrinsically linked to the freedom of artistic expression.
So while many (probably most) bad films will remain truly amazingly awful because of how unadventurous and downright boring they are (who likes blatant exposition? Nobody!), a small handful might become cult classics because they dared go where others didn’t.

Not so much a sex scene, but, Whiteout with Kate Beckinsale. First, the promos made it seem like a scifi movie. Second, it starts with her walking through an Antarctic camp, getting to her room, stripping down, and taking a shower. Served no purpose but titillation.

Any movie with Tom Cruise sucks. Well the movies themselves do not suck, many have great plots/writing etc, but Cruise sucks as an actor. All he ever does is play the same role he played in Risky Business in different outfits. You know an actor sucks when he buys the rights and produces a movie like Jack Reacher, when the character is supposed to be like 6' 4" and 230 pounds of mean fighting muscles and stars in it himself when he is 5'4" and 150 pounds.

"Taken" series. That's why John Wick is so cool, it's one fluid shot most times
Scagsy 4 years ago
John Wick is a great series of movies but for me it's because he was motivated by the murder of his doggo. The Taken series were good - Liam Neeson is a legend - but not as good. Probably because he was motivated by the kidnapping of his rather whiny daughter instead. Sometimes the quick cuts and shaky camera add to the frantic nature of the scene or build tension. It's not a deal breaker for me. The original Blair Witch Project (1999) was a perfect example.

There's always a reason, for a recent example; 'Chaos Walking'. It changed screenwriter, director and production company so many times over 10 years but was sold on it been "A Charlie Kauffman movie starring Daisy Ridley and Tom Holland". Kauffman left in 2013, Ridley and Holland filmed it over years due to so many reshoots and failed screenings. Then Lionsgate said the negative reviews were shocking to them.. Really??

Typically Yes, but not always, IT was in production limbo for years but it's still today the highest grossing horror movie. Also Mad Max Fury Road. I never saw it but I understand it's very good.

Obviously there's no way of knowing the quality yet, but they've been postponed 8 times over 11 years.

Exactly, like many in this list, it is an indication that something *might* be wrong, but it isn't a death knell for the property.

Sometimes that's even the same movie.

Which is doubly stupid when you consider Sarah Connor, the actual main character, is already one of the most iconic female characters in film, so what was the point anyway? Yay girl power, f**k good storytelling?

What really messed up this particular Terminator movie, in addition to others, was how they tampered with the storyline. Terminator 2 follows Terminator, Terminator 3 follows Terminator 2, there's another Terminator that I've never seen, then Terminator Genesis follows Terminator 3, then this one follows Terminator Genesis but completely ignores everything that happened past Terminator 2. It could have been a good movie with Linda Hamilton reprising her role, and Kyle Reese still being alive, but old, since in Genesis, they opted not to have John Connor just in case he ended up turning bad, as he did in genesis. And then everything else about the story would have made sense. The Arnold Terminator would still be there, and perhaps Linda Hamilton would be calling it Pops. But they screwed it up so many ways from Sunday that ... it was just horrible!

I feel like a good example of a movie that did this without coming off like they're going "We're still relevant, dammit!" was "The Mitchells vs. the Machines". Part of it probably comes from the fact that the meme references were sparse and from 6+ years ago (so intentionally outdated), and didn't feel too forced in. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for one of Sony Pictures Animation's movies from July 2017...

WW was pretty poor IMO. Speaking of knowing right away that a movie is going to be bad, it was when all the Amazons had to put on a weird accent to match Gal Gadot.

And considering that it's supposed to be the best of the current DC batch, I think I'll give the rest a miss.

"From the minds behind..." again.. nebulous people who were somewhere near the production that made something good once, or referencing the original author who had nothing to do with the film.. looking at you Stephen King. Spoiler filled trailers are nothing new, even for superb films. Watch the trailer for John Carpenter's The Thing (1982). When they front load a movie with an expensive opening 15mins it's to get more investment money.. "Here look what we can do.. if we get more money" doesn't always mean it will flounder.. but disjointed productions that stop n start rarely land.
