Films I Hate



My blog has talked about some of my favourite films (Article), alternatively this blog will be about the films I hate. Films made up of bad acting, unrealistic special effects and disastrous plots. I have two films that I see as awful in all aspects, Jaws: The Revenge and Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2.

Jaws: The Revenge is a 1987 fourth installment in the Jaws franchise. Starring Lorraine Gary and legendary British actor Michael Caine, in my opinion this is one of the worst film I have ever watched. The first film Jaws bends the rules of a Sharks nature for example a Shark is not a man eater but confuses human with its main food source seal. However in Jaws: The Revenge the film does not take into account any factual information of the shark. For example the Shark is seen roaring at the end of the film and the whole film is based on the Shark following the widow of Chief Brody (Chief Brody is the main character in first two Jaws films.) from Amity Island to the Bahamas which is roughly going along the whole east coast of America and across the Gulf Of Mexico, no animal could track someone or even have the feeling to track someone down. This unconventional idea ruins any realism people get with the Shark as it shouldn't be there. Factual mistakes like this make this ruin the realism of the Shark which is one of the most important aspects of the important aspects of the film as the Shark doesn't look real in the first place through it being mechanical and made of rubber. The finale of the film is very confusing, the film doesn't give no clear meaning into how the shark dies, according to Wikipedia the Shark blows up, but the director does not make this clear to the audience through have the action fast paced cutting between different shots making it so difficult to understand what's going. Jaws: The Revenge will remain in my view one of the worst films ever, the main reason I hate it however is how it used one my favorite film (Jaws), in a franchise that collapsed with unconventional story lines to create attention and use the greatness of the first film to get as much money as possible.



The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 is similar to Jaws: The Revenge as its the last film in its franchise. Released in 2012 I had to go and see this film as a suppose "Treat" for GCSE work. However this film was shocking. The films plot continues of the birth of a baby between the two main character that see's a false allegation on the baby. This connotes that the all the action, suspense and actually the entire movie is not needed as a simple explanation is needed to explain why the allegation is not true. Obviously this never happens, so the film drags out a storyline that is not needed. I know this film isn't suited for me but I was just shocked on how poorly made this film was. Acting by Kristen Stewart was heavily joked before I watched this film, in particular the lack of facial expression and just a muted body language, I thought this was just a Joke that appears in one scene and not every scene like the jokes persist, however I couldn't believe how true this joke was Kristen Stewart shows off such poor acting through being unable to change hardly any facial expression to show what the character feels. The CGI is very unrealistic in a scene where the lead girl is running through the forest, the special effects are something you would find in a B-movie, some stages to me looked like a cartoon. This film franchise which grew such a high fan base, grossed millions and sent the actors fame skyrocketing, surprised so such on how poorly made this film is. I was expecting it to be bad when I saw it as its a teenage girl film but I was shocked in just how this film was and questioned how it got all this fame when it was just made bad.
