The Man from Earth is the most overrated movie in the history of filmmaking and it's an OBJECTIVELY bad movie

Due Date is pretty good.
Infact one of my favourite movies.

>>80269679

>>80269714
it's a short theater play. It's decent. It's not a bad movie/play. Why are you so butthurt about it?

Here's a pasta which I agree with 100%:

The Man from Earth is the ultimate pleb detector.

It's for people who feel "smart" after watching it without realising how fucking atrocious it is.
It's like a bad cheesy B movie from the 90s. The only redeeming factor is the intriguing backstory, literally every other film element is utter dogshit.

From the mexican telenovela like acting, generic stock soundtrack, no character development, no actual dialogue just a long exposition Q&A throughout, constant boring back to back camerawork, no use of the one room, no creative lighting, a side love story pulled out of the ass, most cliche character traits, literally everything. I had to look up twice that it actually was from 2007, not early 90s.
This shit shouldn't even be a movie, it should be a book or a play. Or given to some other director because Richard Schenkman doesn't even know what a director is.
Just look at any other movie in his profile, everything is a meme (pic related)

And don't tell me they had no budget, 200 000$ is not small budget for this kind of movie. There are far superior movies with half the budget of that.

This movie has no artistic value whatsoever. It is just an excuse to make money from the script.
You will never see a renowned director admire this movie because there is nothing to admire except the concept.

Just try to compare this movie to let's say 12 Angry Men, both set in one room. The difference is almost laughable.

>>80271752
I notice you didn't say anything about storytelling

Liam Neeson was the best representation a Jedi.
The Podracing Sequence, was something new and well constructed (albeit a bit cartoony in spots)
Lightsabers were not horribly overused.
Film has a better texture, color and depth than digital.
Greater feeling of digital characters being in the same space as physical characters.
the music was better.
Yoda was still a puppet.
The most consistent with the Original Trilogy (things hadn't been totally fucked yet, though midiclorians and C3PO is Vader's son are damaging)

>>80271565

>the first 2 hobbit movies were pretty good

>>80272529
I enjoyed RO. It actually fleshed out the universe more than any movies in the OT, and the only good part about Jedi was the opening and the duel. As for Godzilla, I've only seen it once since theatres, so great may be a strong term, but it's definitely a good film

>>80272679

Are you retarded or has the general opinion on TDK changed that much?

>The Dark Knight is a mediocre movie carried by a great performance at best.
No. It's a great movie with a great story and a great cast.

>Godfather 1>2
I agree

>Matrix aged horribly
The first one is still a very good sci-fi movie. The next two are shit and only have a few decent scenes.

>Avatar's only redeeming quality is its visuals
I agree

>Goodfellas is Scorsese's best film
Raging Bull is his best film. Taxi Driver is second.

>The first 2 hobbit movies were pretty good
The first one was decent. The rest are borefest.

>Rogue One was the best Star Wars flick since Empire, followed by Sith
Wrong. Rogue One was really bad save for the Darth Vader "cameos". Revenge Of The Sith and Empire Strikes Back are the best Star Wars movies.

>>80272740
But RO was literally a throwaway movie. It felt like something you'd find in a 3 pack of obscure sci fi action "classics" in the bargain bin at Best Buy. Same for Godzilla if I'm being honest. Not a decent performance in the movie.

>>80272747
the general opinion is that the bank heist is by far the best part
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9at88yAf21Y

the rest of this 2.5 hour movie is a bloated mess other than the scenes with the joker

>>80269714
I know the movie is bad, but it's still so comfortable to watch for some reason.

>>80272740
>It actually fleshed out the universe more than any movies in the OT
To me it just highlighted how futile an exercise it is to try and flesh out Star Wars' universe. It's extremely superficial and doesn't hold up under scrutiny, because Star Wars stories would be utterly mediocre if they didn't feature all the recognizable elements of the main trilogies.

Way to deliberately misinterpret what I say because you don't have an answer. Before Christianity, western society had a completely different moral code. It was once the west became Christians that their moral codes and society changed drastically, and it was also at that point that they started to develop. I'm not exactly saying that the west developed BECAUSE of Christianity, but rather that it developed at the same time it was hardcore Christian, and the chief philosophy and worldview that acted as a compass behind them during their advancement was Christianity.

the pacing of the first 30 minutes (up until the first accident) really gets in the way of my enjoyment, I know it was done that way intentionally to make it more like a shitty oldschool horror movie but "we made it bad on purpose" doesn't change the fact that its bad.

Seconded.

I've said it feels like the most original and least derivative of some kind of source material of all his works.

She didn't get very specific beyond that.
