Mortal Kombat (2021)
Mortal Kringefest
I'm not gonna read the other reviews here, but wild guess, all the positive ones contain the following phrases:
"you just have to turn off your brain!"
"What did you expect? An Oscar winner?"
"It's just a video game movie!"
Look, if you found some enjoyment in this movie fine, I have plenty of crappy guilty pleasure movies too (and I really enjoyed the recent Godzilla vs Kong so I'm definitely not above a good mindless slugfest), but let's not pretend this was anything other than bad. It has the very strong stench of being a fan film, but with a slightly higher budget. It really just looks and feels like an enthusiastic amateur effort by cosplayers with some very inconsistent effects thrown on in post.
The few halfway decent fight scenes in here weren't worth sitting through the majority of the movie which was just a lot of bad acting, juvenile attempts at being ultra grim dark and edgy yet at the same time shoving cringey out of place game quotes and unfunny comic relief Kano in there, and unreal engine looking particle effects.
Invincible (2021)
tOtAL RiP oFf!
My favorite terrible review here is the guy complaining that this is a ripoff of "the awsomes" (his words not mine) from "5 years ago". Bro. The comic this is based on started in 2003.
That Little Monster (1994)
Gee I wonder if these reviews are real...
Wow what a weird coincidence! Every single 9-10 review here is from an account that has only reviewed this movie and no other. Sorry, no that's not quite true. There's one who has only reviewed every thing done by this same director. Hmm. And they all make the exact same comparisons to the Twilight Zone and Eraserhead. HOW ODD.
Spoiler alert: this "movie" is hot garbage. Any tiny shred of respect I might have had for what they were trying to do here (which already wasn't much for a project that's simply inept and unpleasant mimicry of the styles of various famous directors) evaporated when I saw their friends, family, and paid shills propping up the review scores (and wow that's actually especially weird when this movie came out in 1994)
