Video Blog: Movies You Know Will Suck (G.I. Joe) Yet Are Excited To See Anyway

John Campea 108 Comments

We are a strange species. We do a lot of strange and unexplainable things. One of the stranger things us movie fans do is from time to time know beyond a shadow of a doubt that an upcoming movie will suck. And yet, knowing it will suck, we’re still excited to see it anyway. In this installment of my video blog I talk about this a bit in the context of G.I. Joe. Check it out:

    I’m totally with you on this one!

    This happened to me with the movie “Fighting”. Looking at the trailer, I knew there was no way this movie was going to be good, yet I still went on opening day. Two reasons I think “why” this is:

    1) In general, I like a lot of movies that involve fighting. My favorite movie of all time is Karate Kid and I’m a big fan of Never Back Down which came out a year earlier. Heck, I even loved the first Mortal Kombat movie.

    2) This is going to sound a little weird, but the music in the trailer got me all pumped up for it. Using “Remember The Name” by Fort Minor was a very good idea for this type of movie.

    In the end, Fighting was arguably one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. The acting was horrendous. I couldn’t believe Terrence Howard signed on for this.

    I wish I had a product and had customers like you :)
    Complaining about a bad product but still throwing money at it …

    Like I read somewhere in the comments here, don’t be a sheep.

    If the movie is going to be as bad as you think it will, then don’t support it. Don’t support the creators of it. And least of all, don’t support the studio.
