Cinderella (2021)
People rating it low just don't get it
If you are expecting an award winning classic, you're in the wrong place. You don't watch Top Gun expecting a rom-com, or Dowton Abbey expecting a futuristic sci-fi show. This version of Cinderella is for people that want a silly, campy movie with songs that you can sing along to. I mean, come on, Idina Menzel singing Janet Jackson and Madonna songs? Yes, please! I can think of other people I would have rather seen as Cinderella, but that's just personal preference. They should have cast someone who is either a better actor or better singer, or both. There's actually a lot of talent in this movie, but go into it with the proper expectations to enjoy it.
San Andreas Quake (2015)
Laugh-out-loud bad, full of WTF?! moments.
I live in Southern California and have experience many earthquakes. The people who made this movie are clueless. The only reason to watch this movie is so that the real San Andreas movie looks like an Oscar- worthy masterpiece in comparison.
I should have known this was going to be a terrible movie when a full grown man couldn't move a simple piece of lumber (4x4, about 8 feet long) off his daughter's leg. I could move that with one hand! And then the quakes... They start off actually kinda small, based on the Richter Scale numbers shown, but cause excessive damage. Then the people making the movie seemed to just give up and make it one, long, continuous quake. Umm, no.
Why was EVERY car stalling every time it came to a stop? And speaking of cars, apparently if you drive a Mustang you will have nothing but solid white behind you wherever you go, including when you're driving along a horse trail that was marked as a road and looking at stock footage of a giraffe through the windshield.
OK, so, picture this, two National Guard soldiers, each with a large gun and a pistol. Some guy steals one pistol and they both just give up. YOU HAVE HIM OUTNUMBERED AND OUTGUNNED! Meanwhile, the bus that's rescuing people is full, so you're not allowed to leave this building that is about to collapse, even though we're supposed to be going to a bomb shelter. What?
The only person of color in the movie has a "rap sheet" and knows how to hot wire a car. Racist much?
