Looking for examples of well shot, but horrible movies.

Prometheus is a good example. Beautifully shot, excellent cast, amazing effects...TERRIBLE MOVIE. I tried rewatching it, and am just in awe of horribly written it is. Theres a new plot hole introduced almost every time someone speaks.

This one I think is a bit divisive but that is how I felt about The Last Jedi. It was a beautifully shot movie that was not a good movie. Maybe not terrible but not good.

Ironically, I think it's my favorite out of the new trilogy in hindsight. Still bad, but my favorite.

  • E7: a fan servicey remake of E4
  • E8: something completely new/different, but unfitting
  • E9: distilled incoherence

I would probably agree with you if you could cut out the entire sub plot with Finn and Rose visiting that planet. It was so pointless.

Oooh. Good call. I didn't care for any of the new Star Wars mainline films whatsoever.
