I saw "G.I. JOE" at our local drive-in with my gf, about a half-hour in I almost told her to start the car and go home.  :lookingup:

I liked The A Team.


I can't stand Starsky and Hutch.

I actually was one of the few that found GI Joe entertaining. 

I thought the Transformers movie was awful.  Shaky camera gallore, too many subplots going on and Shia Lebouf.

I can't stand Starsky and Hutch.

I saw that in the theaters I think.  I can't recall much about it to be honest.  I recall feeling the same way after Dukes Of Hazzard. 


He-Man goes without saying was a giant, steaming pile of cinematic cr@p.

Yeah you and me both. There seems to be this move today to make shows that were originally somewhat serious AND fun into nothing more than just plain "family friendly" stuff today.

As an original LOTL fan when it played in the 70's, I was totally captivated by the science fiction aspects of the show, and by the Sleestaks and how they were able to manipulate the power crystals. I was even more fascinated by Enoch, their leader, and how he was always unsympathetic to the Marshalls, but not above helping them in their strange new world.

But no, Hollywood had to take science fiction and make it science fun, and add Will Ferrell to the mix as well.  And what was up with that female scientist knowing Chakka's language?

Popeye could easily be added to this list but I still have a soft spot for it.

Popeye!  It will forever be near the top of my personal "Worst Ever" list.  This movie is utterly, irredeemably bad beyond any limit of human endurance.  I don't want to hear about how this movie is "sweet" or "charming" because it isn't!  It's an abomination spawned from the bowels of HELL!

Land of the Lost.  Unless you're too shallow to look past the cheap production values, you'll see that the original show was actually very serious-minded and the storylines of each episode were usually quite well thought out.  Then they made it into another Will Ferrel man-child movie.  $#@!

Transformers.  It would seem to be impossible to screw up a concept as simple as "friendly robots from space fight unfriendly robots from space".  And, maybe if the movie had used that concept, it would have been good.  Unfortunately, our esteemed scribblers Orci and Kurtzman didn't use it.  They were more interested in ripping off 80s "teenager comes of age movies" than writing about boring stuff like robots fighting.  And since Michael Bay is the kind of director who just films whatever script he's given without worrying about its quality, we ended up with a generic "teenager comes of age" movie with a couple of scenes of random piles of gears and cables robots punching each other.

Star Trek 2009.  An extremely cynically-designed, utterly empty, and especially hare-brained "blockbuster".  Star Trek is about getting the audience to think (something even the worst of the older movies made an effort to do), not about the heroes making quips before things blow up.  (And hello again, Orci and Kurtzman.)

Dukes of Hazzard was just god-awful.  Just...putrid.  If I met anyone involved in the production of that in real-life, I would make every attempt to vomit on them.

Starsky and Hutch was terrible, but it at least was forgettable.

The 2008 GET SMART movie is coming right now.


I had no idea there was a 2008 GET SMART movie.




Oh, Steve Carrell is in it.


Oh, Anne Hathaway is in it, too.




So is 'The Rock' and Alan or Adam Arkin.

The Simpson's Movie comes to mind, as being somewhat obnoxious....

Hmm...  To be honest, it didn't seem that much more obnoxious than the TV show.  Don't get me wrong, I love The Simpsons.  But the movie didn't really seem that much different.  It wasn't great, but it was just kinda like an extra long episode of the show.

But then again, should movie remakes of TV shows just be like an extra long episode of the original show?  Makes  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1Z2jaPN2dU)me  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbNqeDr5mlQ)wonder...

Fat Albert made the one unforgivable sin of movies.  It was dull.  I can handle movies that are tasteless and dumb.  I can handle movies that are horrible.  They at least give me something to hate (and talk about) but Fat Albert had NOTHING.

One of my favorite childhood shows was (and is) Bewitched.

The only tiny, tiny bright spot in that terrible 'revisioned' movie was Steve Carrell's tiny, tiny cameo as Uncle Arthur.

That "Dukes of Hazzard" remake is the biggest piece of s**t ever made! It's like nobody involved with that film had ever even seen one episode of the show. They removed all of the subtle self deprecating humour that made the show a classic action/comedy. The remake of "The A-Team" (a show with similar qualities) was equally bad. Come to think of it, I have never liked a remake of any classic TV show. TV shows have a much richer history than movies, because you have a series of stories that evolve over the course of several years. To try and condense the highlights of that history into a two hour movie format is a monumental task. Since most of today's film makers are sub par storytellers with too much emphasis on technical skill, for them to take on such a task is an insult to the legacy of these classic shows.

I agree on LOST IN SPACE. The show was corny and fun....the movie-ugh.
Haven't seen it-but the YOGI BEAR movie looks horrendous. He does a rap song.  :bluesad:

Haven't seen it either, but it's another in the long line of movies that make MY list of worst tv adaptations - our childhood cartoons being turned into modern music videos/fart gags/bad CGI fests.  Off the top of my head - Scooby Doo, Alvin & The Chipmunks, Underdog, Yogi Bear, Garfield, Fat Albert, Josie and the p***ycats, and soon - The Smurfs.  For me, it's weird because they obviously make them that way to appeal to TODAY'S audiences, but those audiences don't have a familiarity with the character anyway, so why not just make something original?

I also hated GI Joe and especially Transformers.  Personally, I'm a fan of Masters of the Universe, but for all the wrong reasons...

Animation remade into live action is a mistake. It's just plain wrong.

I like the final scene and the teddy bear scene.
