But yet are watchable as fuck now in retrospect compared to today's niggertranny turbofaggot offerings

Batman and Robin

>let's remake total recall but don't make it obvious

>>213785114
No wrong. Never. Jesus christ don't even joke like that, fuck.

>>213785102 (OP)
this movie is dogshit though

>>213785123
It's nowhere near Total Recall unless Total Recall has clones

Easy Money

>>213785135
>this movie is dogshit though
yeah i know but unless sydney sweeney's erect nipples are staring at me throughout an entire runtime, it can't possibly be worse than your average consooomer trough slop 2020s movie

>>213785102 (OP)

>>213785136
NTA but aesthetically it does mimick a sort of flying cars techno-futuristic society shit, and it has arnold

Batman v Superman

>>213785124
Kek

>>213785102 (OP)
Villeneuve a hack

not even joking. fun waste of time, characters resemble straight, white and normal america for the mosssst part

>>213785413
I mean its like a masterpiece compared to kevin costner's the postman

>>213785102 (OP)
>sci-fi writer doesn't understand a clone is a separate person

>>213785357
Somebody mentioned this movie to me once, and said Uma Thurman was in the film, and I had never heard of it, and at the time, I watched a crapload of films, since I didn’t have a TV with a receiver, or cable, or the internet.
All I had was a monthly membership at a local video rental store that offered a $30 per month 3 videos at a time, all you can rent offer like Netflix, but without dealing with USPS.

>>213785491
pfft whatever man

>>213785520
A lengthy story with zero payoff. Thanks for wasting my time, asswipe.

>>213785547
is adaptation good? I tried to watch it before but couldnt get into it

>>213785102 (OP)
I never understood why everyone in this flick who has a clone act like they are immortal. It's more like having a twin or a son.

>>213785695
I never saw it, but maybe this concept of a clone the clones share your memories or something?

Every Tony Scott movie. Just watched Deja Vu last night, it was dumb as fuck but still better than anything today.

>>213785102 (OP)

>>213785713
Yes it does, but you're still dead if you die, you just have an inheritor. I remember one henchman killing another henchman because the other one sprained his ankleor something, because "lol you have a clone", and then he comes back and acts slightly miffed, not as a guy who has memories of being murdered by his coworker. Sure, in this instance it works because they are dumbfuck henchmen, but the movie is littered with stuff like this.

>>213785102 (OP)

>>213785102 (OP)
Basically everything.
What Women Wants has better cinematography than modern best picture nominees.

>>213785124
Yeah, Batman & Robin was always certified kino.

dogshit compared to the godfather
but godfather compared to the dogshit

>>213785668
It's a masterpiece. Cage is incredible

A lot of later tier mid Arnie flicks like Eraser or End of Days are alright in retrospect.

>>213785868
Sahara was fucking KINO and nobody will be able to tell me otherwise

>>213785868

>>213785868

>>213785668
it's the only movie that is reddit as fuck but still a masterpiece imo

>>213786060
>slightly shitty movies
>broken arrow
>dante's peak
>daylight
>death sentence
>oblivion
>the one
>soldier
more like slightly shitty list

>>213786019
Eraser isn't peak Arnie but it was always good

>>213786060
13th warrior virtuosity and salton sea are tremendous though

>>213785857
Cable guy was always kino. people just didnt like it when it came out because it was too dark and not what they were expecting. one of the best 90's comedies

>>213786120
It's OK to be slightly shitty.

6th day has always been a 6/10, just because modern movies tend not to go above a 2/10 doesn't make it good.

>>213785668
Adaptation is great.

>>213785102 (OP)
I don't hate this movie, but I like how it captured the 2001-2004 aesthetic

>>213786019
>>213786127
the last ok arnold movie was escape plane. also the only time he speaks german in a movie

>>213785102 (OP)
The discussion about the ethics of bringing a beloved pet back to life really stuck with me for a dumb popcorn action movie. I miss my dog.

>>213785102 (OP)
this movie reminds me of the bruce willis movie Surrogates

>>213785868
kiss kiss bang bang is excellent

>>213786223
Escape Plan is the kind of movie I would describe as "inoffensive" in that you watch it and you don't get angry or frustrated at it, but it's not good either. It's still below even his weaker late 90s output, but you don't feel bad for watching it as long as you're not expecting something really good.

>>213785102 (OP)

>>213786257
theres also one thats similar i guess (been awhile since ive seen all these mentioned)

>>213786835
wtf is this shit?

>>213786791
Its weird, this movie got the look of megacity one right and the general tone of the judge dread world, but completely shit the bed when it came to judge dread the character himself

>>213786928
Keanu kino

>>213785102 (OP)
I've been going through a phase of watching all the movies I disregarded as shit back in the day like OP and pic related and it's been great my happiness has increased a lot recently.

>>213787063
>START DOING THIS
but yeah same, usually whenever im watching a social movie with friends its not some new slop its something old, shot on film.

A movie everyone should watch is Stone Cold. it should just be some generic shitty action movie with bikers but it legitimately has better action then 90% of shit made in the last decade

>>213787081
For me it started with Highlander.

>>213785802
I used to love both this and the 6th day as a kid. Never knew people didn’t like them until way later.

>>213787063
>>213787081
Seriously, going back in time is a pleasant escape from the overly "political" (IYKYK) shit that's baked into every single movie that comes out now.

>>213787120
It was great as a kid. Christain Slater was in some 90's kino back in the day.

>>213787139
this is a better movie then face off is. face off was always just too stupid for me to like that much.

>>213785520
Well... what happened? Was the movie good? There is no point to your story

Here's a kino for you all.

>>213787139
I wanted to sexo the ranger girl

>>213787191
Why was he so strong though? He's just a firefighter. Usually they make the guy a swat cop or navy seal.

It's likely nostalgia speaking, but shit movies from before felt like they weren't intentionally shit (for the most part) but rather the product of deluded suits pushing shit ideas, eccentric directors not being tard wrangled properly, amateurs biting off more than they could chew, budget mismanagement, etc.
Nowadays it feels deliberate, as if the entire industry decided making movies dogshit in every aspect should be the new standard.

>>213785565
>>213787162
I got caught up in the story and forgot to mention that I ran into Uma Thurman there and she gave me a BJ in the restroom.

>>213787191
ah yes, the real version of Threat level midnight

>>213787206
it was the 90's it was hardcoded into everyones brains that vandamme was a martial artist and could beat people up they didn't even bother with the back story
they tried to make up for it with improvised weapons using gas that only a firefighter would know how to do

>>213787230
kek its funny how a lot of movies just go with this "hes badass because you know him as an actor from these other films"

I wish they still made movies like these. Now everything is super realistic operator bullshit and if people don't shoot a gun in some perfect way autists on the internet will complain and say it isn't realistic.

>>213787139
>>213787191
Both of these too. There’s another movie with the exact same plot as sudden death and I thought I was crazy for remembering jcvd being in it.

>>213787250
yep you said it better than me they were just like "cmon man it's vandamme he knows karate, you already know this"

>>213787262
action movies today are either trying to be really realistic like you say or not trying at all and its a goofy cgi mess. not much middle ground

>>213787191
Oh wait nevermind I’m thinking of the hobo hunting one. Can’t remember what that was called.

>>213787293
Hard Target. it rules

>>213787305
I liked his funny uncle with the crazy accent

>>213785102 (OP)
Kino Williams

>>213787213
The idea that people are pushing shit now intentionally is retarded, it's just a completely different landscape. Flops in the past just had a handful of things going wrong because in general you still had people involved who were motivated, creative and paid decently, nowadays it's just streaming giants throwing money around at a billion different projects which are all individually given nothing.

Albert Pyun was regarded as an absolute slop machine and so many of his movies were so fucking good on their own merits

(And I don't say that ironically praising Captain America that one was dogshit)

>>213787338
Except there are factors that are intentionally pushed nowadays despite resulting in negative reception and losing money, don't try to hide that. It's ideological.

>>213787213
all they care about is if it will make a profit. until normies stop giving money they wont ever stop making it, the sixth day lost money.

Terminator genisys is way worse than the 6th day but was a massive profit

>>213785251
there's never enough prime Arnold

Paul W.S. Anderson loves this movie so much he copied the clone reveal scene basically verbatim for RE: The Final Chapter.

>>213785102 (OP)

>>213787373
You've fallen for the chud propaganda, you're as bad as the trannies

>>213786791
Kino and better than the reboot.

>>213787397
It’s the foreign markets. Brown people eat that shit up.

>>213787415
Don't even try, there are guidelines that result in funding or lack thereof and they're all well known. They're also requirements for qualifying film awards, etc. Stop pretending to be an idiot.

>>213787432
the reboots better for tacticool and combat, its gritty, realistic, fun.
but the original is more accurate to the source.

>>213787373
People in general are less professional now then they were pre-2000s
Even if the film was bad the lighting , blocking , set design , cinematography, editing were at least had a bare minimum standard that was tolerable since people actually tried to do a good job

>>213787373
It has now come full circle with films making fun of the dumb shit that's being pushed.

The more wilful idiots like you hyperfixate on muh trannyism being pushed into everything the more you ignore the fundamental issues plaguing modern media and are the root cause of everything being shit.
Just look at all the projects Ben Shapiro's media company made and how fucking awful they are.
Some projects definitely force trannyism but not all, and plenty of the stuff that doesn't force it is still plenty shit

>>213787439
>>213787397
Nobody "eats that shit up"

In 2019 Disney was the largest film studio on earth and made $13 billion at the box office
In 2024 Disney was the largest film studio on earth and made $5 billion at the box office
The movie industry has unironically collapsed, it's doing that thing from Kill Bill now where you walk away and drop dead

>>213787514
>hyperfixate on muh trannyism being pushed into everything
You mean the thing you just claimed never happened and didn't exist?

>>213787291
John Wick and equalizer are gay with fucking gay jui jitsu shit rather than miniguns and rocket launchers.

>>213787596
Sure

>>213785102 (OP)
I loved that one as a kid, must have watched it a few dozen times at least.

>>213787213
it's basically because of ESG and DEI their stock value goes down if their ESG score goes down and the only way to keep a good ESG score is to implement more DEI aka up your diversity quota and appeal to the woke gods. Basically they have a monetary incentive to insert as much woke shit as possible otherwise they lose money and potential big investors.

>>213787409
kate and biel I might have to watch this one again

>>213787514
>Just look at all the projects Ben Shapiro's media company made
Nobody has ever done this
Ben Shapiro has exactly zero supporters anywhere, he exists as some kind of reverse strawman for people to accuse each other of liking him

>>213787650
kek that kind of shit never effected stock value, it was always just a checklist big corporate entities were ticking off for their yearly financial reports
DEI has been dead for a while now and somehow movies are still shit? puzzling

>>213787690
>DEI has been dead for a while now
What the fuck are you talking about?

>>213787685
It's actually quite eye-opening if you look closely at them, those projects are plagued by the exact same lack of motivation, creativity and care that is at the root cause of the vast majority of modern media (probably even worse).
There is a clear industry problem, to do with quality across a wide range of stuff. I hate trannyism in modern productions but it's more a symptom of shitness than a cause, and there is still plenty of awful media out there where tranny stuff doesn't feature at all and it's still completely awful.

>>213785424
>>213785392
I started watching the postman once. Got so far in and fell asleep. Woke up an hour later and it was still on, i thought i was tripping out, films long as fuck

>>213785102 (OP)
I always liked this film. Kino concept. Arnie was totally miscast is all.

>>213787732
Drumpf killed it

>>213785491
Faggot who doesn't understand the film he watched.

>>213787088
I watched this recently, can confirm it was really fun and had some cool stunts

>>213785713
American dad has this set up for clones. Agent duper dies and when stan sees him at at his own funeral he says 'duper i thought you died and he replys 'nope, im a clone, exactly the same in every way except this guy was married to some ugly bitch'

>>213787865
Does it feel like Stan's friends just gradually disappeared, for anyone else? Same with that koala guy.

>>213785413
How did they get gas? Was there oil rigs and drill operations?

>>213787613
The Equalizer should have been played by a hard boiled salty middle aged White man. Denzel ruins it for me, I refuse to watch any of those movies.

>>213787088
*glass breaks*

>>213787975
The first was okay, second was total shit and has that annoying mexican rapist that's in everything now. Didn't even watch the third after that.

>>213787975
>>213788021
the third was surprisingly good although I didn't finish it the second I couldn't finish either but it was shit.

>>213787115
Same

>>213785251
So Terminator is also Total Recall rip off?

>>213785491
>a clone is a separate person
is it?

>>213788738
not him but obviously yeah

>>213785102 (OP)
Dogshit then is dogshit now.

>>213785102 (OP)
I saw this when it came out and I liked it then and still like it now. One of Arnold's better movies it had an interesting premise and was just plain fun.

>>213785877
Yeah I avoided it for years because of reviews but when I finally watched it didn't think it was that bad dare I say it's actually good.

Fist of the North Star. Real sets beat CGI bullshit today.

>>213788889
practical effects, on location, in-camera stuff, is great shame we moved away from that because it's easier to just hire some vietnamese company to outsource our art to

>>213785102 (OP)

>>213787672

That's true. For films you let the Chinese handle it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XePRxozV1yY

I do think chinese movies are more entertaining then japanese ones

>>213785868
I mean Dean Cundey has ridiculous filmography

>>213785124
Hi guys this is the first time I am on 4chan anything I should know, also I like this film its nice

>>213785102 (OP)
I always liked this one. Tony Goldwyn is good as the evil corpovillain.

>>213788696
No its not Terminator is a good movie

>>213787063
Keanu and his hollywood mandatory jewish waifu

>>213789342
I thought keanu and her were in constantine together?

>Old movies weren't woke
>plot of the old movie being rich people are evil and corporations are bad.

>>213789454
corporations are bad though

>>213789484
I wish the MAGA bro understood that. Yet they shoot their little loads for Tesla and Palantir being involved heavily in the government.

>>213789531
it wasn't maga that wanted to jail people for not selling their souls to big pharma

>>213789369
yep and that other film

>>213789531
>>213789564
these petty distinctions wont matter once we're all being tracked and traced bros

>>213789531
>I wish the MAGA bro understood that.
I wish you were being ironic. I'm an "old school" leftist. Current year "leftists" are the biggest fucking corporate bootlickers in human history. It's fucking cringe and embarrassing.

>>213789564
They want people in jail for having brown skin. It's also pretty funny how quickly MAGA went from the government can't tell you what to do with your body to they should tell you what to do with your body.
>>213789632
which again MAGA faults. They were tricked into extreme censorship that will allow corporations to take our data.

>>213785102 (OP)

I always liked the sixth day. I would say that a movie that meets your criteria would be The last action hero though. Back in the day Arnie was an action hero so a family movie that parodied his own work felt weird but these days, after he´s done more movies on the field of family comedies and seeing how soulless most kid movies are even that movie feels good. In fact, the whole ticket thing feels pretty magical. I wonder if it´s because movie theaters are mostly dead now...

It´s not purple rose of Cairo but it does have that otherworldly quality found on kid movies like Jumanji, Hook or the first 2 Harry Potter movies.

>>213789692
That's because it's based on the yippies from the 70s while pretending to be based on the hippies. The yippies were rich leftist who would stop caring when their own self-interest came into play. I remember what Harlam used to be. Now it's one of the biggest gay parts of NYC. I'd leave the country but it isn't really easy if you are a normal cis white guy.

>>213787917
If I remember correctly they were using the oil from the ship they had taken over.

>>213789695
This is your brain on terminally online leftist echo-chambers with literally no connection to the real world.

>>213789695
there is no democrat that is anti corporation either it's all the same shit dawg

>>213787409
It had some cool set pieces. The film would have been better if it had just been its own thing and cut all ties to "total recall"

>>213789863
I wouldn't doubt if they had a script lying around and just changed a few things and slapped total recall on it to get it made and sold

>>213789860
Never said there was. Liberalism is just the left wing of fascism.
>>213789846
When the govt start arresting POC and taking away their due process. It's pretty clear why they are doing it.
Also, tell me again why we have to upload our driver's licenses to listen to music again, and which group made that happen?

>>213789781
Well, don't come to Europe. It's being invaded by the Middle East and north Africa and will become Islamic dictatorship in a matter of years. Maybe 20 years.

I wish I was just an alarmist, but my eyes don't deceive me. My city has been completely overrun. Soon the country will go as well. And then the leftists and feminists and fags will rejoice as we enter the Islamic age with nooses for fags and the burka and prearranged marriages for the feminists.

>>213789920
>Islamic dictatorship in a matter of years. Maybe 20 years
It's almost like England's imperialistic history has caught up to them.

>>213789951
This is your brain on leftism.

>building roads and bringing the rule of law to savages is now a punishable offense
interesting

>>213785102 (OP)
I had this on VHS and enjoyed watching it.

>>213787063
For me it was Con Air. I thought it was going to be some generic boring action flick, but it turned out to be amazing. Then I saw Scorsese's Bringing out the dead, also starring Nicolas Cage and that one was amazing.
In general, I'd avoided Nicolas Cage movies, but after watching those two, I understood cage kino.

>>213789896
It certainly felt like that was the case.
>>213789951
>England's imperialistic history has caught up to them.
It's their naive progressivism + capitalist indifference to demographics that's catching up to them.

>>213787353
Nemesis and Kickboxer rule
Didn't really care for Dollman much, feels like it didn't use its premise to its full potential. RIP though

>>213785102 (OP)
Watched it on TV as a teenager, remember really liking it.

>>213785114
No, that one is just awful.

>>213790408
I avoided Nemesis because creature features aren't my thing but cyberpunk definitely is. What a dilemma.

>>213790408
>>213790892
I now realize I've been confusing Nemesis with Split Second for over a decade. I'll watch Nemesis ASAP. Holy shit.

I wonder if this is part of the reason steve zahn fell off the face of the earth

>>213787213
It's brain drain as more and more qualified people retire/die without knowledge being passed on + companies increasingly minmaxing and realising they don't have to bother trying to make decent stuff when they can all just make garbage and then nobody has any other choice.

>>213785357
I'd watch this right now if it was someone other than luke wilson

>>213790968
I watched both back to back a few weeks ago. Good times.

>>213790408
>>213790892
>>213790968
Nemesis is such a strong fucking movie. I swear it knew how to use its budget just right because a lot of scenes are literally just characters talking in a Mexican hotel room and yet it completely delivers several times on having cyborgs kill each other, and gruesomely illustrating just how much damage humans that are majority robot by weight would have to do to each other to actually kill each other

That said I absolutely recommend Split Second as well, even if you're only after the cyberpunk. It's probably a spoiler but it's a spoiler that they give away on the VHS cover anyway; 90% of the movie is just Rutger Hauer being an unfathomably based unlicensed Judge Dredd, running roughshod over a ruined flooded city in search of a fucked-up serial killer, only discovering at the end that said serial killer is a spooky rubber suited stuntman. The monster is not the main attraction, Hauer is, and they have that Dredd vibe where you feel like this is a shitty but not particularly unusual day for him and tomorrow he's probably gonna have to deal with something worse.

The Thing

Never take anyone's opinion about anything seriously, least of all critics.
