Sometimes the movie rating on AlloCiné is quite disastrous. But among these very poorly rated films, sometimes there are not obscure masterpieces, but still artistic films that deserve to be seen once in a lifetime, sometimes with just one scene! Here are 3 of them, each with an average rating of 1.5 out of 5!
No. 1: “Aliens vs. Predator – Requiem” (1.56 out of 5)
“3/4 hour, the predator does everything, the human characters are full of clichés on every level, the alien/predator fight feels like Bioman, it’s filmed with gloves on… don’t drop it, the glass is full. ‘Banana-Jo wrote sadly on AlloCiné. We can’t blame him and defend Alien vs Predator – Requiem would be an exercise in pure bad faith, but still, there’s something to be saved!
Everything you need to know about Predator, from its origins to the present day and wigs!
Only for the appearance of “Predalien”, a cross between a Predator and a Xenomophos teased in Alien vs Predator. It has the mandible and dreadlocks of a predator and the misshapen skull of an alien. When he comes to Earth in Requiem, it is with the idea of implanting the thoracic embryos into human bodies, which will give rise to the planes. It doesn’t even make much sense to otherworldly beings, but we buy it, just for the image!
No. 2: “Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance” (1.52 out of 5)
Zafkiel wrote about the film on AlloCiné: “(…) The fights when the rider appears are nice, the special effects are quite successful (better than in the first), but this film is empty, lacking interest, the dialogues are often funny.” And it’s hard to prove him wrong. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is the demon biker’s second Marvel adventure. This time, Johnny Blaze must find a young boy with a prophecy.
On the set, under the character’s leather jacket, Nicolas Cage wears the stones of power, two artifacts from ancient Egypt, to free his imagination, but unfortunately, these things do not affect the final quality of the film, the excuse of the script and changed. Studio from a violent film to a version prohibited for children under 13, and therefore inevitably smoother.
It should be seen at least because of Christophe Lambert’s special presence as a monk who can sacrifice a child during a ritual with no eyelids and a shaved head covered in tattoos to protect him from evil. Not at the box office though, as with $133.9 million worldwide, the film clearly lived up to expectations.
Christophe Lambert
Good news for fans, this poor reception allowed Marvel Studios to regain the audiovisual rights to the character, and it is thanks to this that he will appear in the TV series Agents of SHIELD a few years later.
No. 3: “Cats” (1.50 out of 5)
“(…) Few things really prepare us for the experience of seeing cats.”states Naughty Dog at the beginning of his review, which reads: “Neither intended for children or families, nor satisfying for musical comedy fans, Cats is a unique Pandora’s Box, a fun curiosity for deviants and curious viewers who love space crashes. And this is absolutely true!
Cats is a movie with no real reason to exist, but it exists anyway and we have to deal with it. What did musical comedy lover Tom Hooper have to do with this mess? We’ll probably never know, but we can take solace in the sight of 85-year-old Judi Dench wearing a cat’s whisker and a totally disturbing disguise.
The script makes no sense and simply consists of a sequence of dance scenes taken from a successful musical, but its abundance of green backgrounds and the ridiculousness of seeing the faces of famous actors on the bodies of cats make it one of the biggest failures of recent times. Years was recorded at $77 million on a total budget of 95%!
