I keep running into people who claim that Fat Albert (2005) should be classified a B-movie. I disagree--I thought it was translated extremely well to the big screen and kept amazingly close to the original hit cartoon, and was even a lot of fun and didn't really qualify as b-movie material--sure it's no Oscar award winner but a b-movie?
Anyone else agree with me?
I mean if you wanna talk about a B- movie let's talk about Napoleon Dynamite(though that was probably done b-grade on purpose) or Mario Bros., or what about the first Star Trek movie ? and let's not forget the revamp and really hated Star Wars movies with cheesy looking CGI 'd new scenes-and then there is that Planet Of The Apes remake--I mean Marky Mark as the heroic astronaut?
augh!
wing commander could make that list too. The acting was clearly B-movie level.
Here's what I consider to be B-Movies:
*Movies based on cartoons, toys, TV shows, and video games
*Barely Legal Teen Demographic horror movies, ie the House Of Wax and Black Christmas remakes
*Anything starring Lorenzo Lamas, Paris Hilton, or Steven Segal.
*MTV films.
*Sci Fi Channel Original movies (don't we all consider these Bad Movies?)
*Low-budget/ DTV horror movies, slasher and zombie flicks especially.
So yes, I'd consider Fat Albert a Bad Movie. Not a terrible movie, but B-Grade nonetheless.
I say nay. Too big of a budget. To many big name actors.
If this boils down to a debate on what makes a b-movie this debate could take up thousands of posts
... And I all was doing was saying what I thought was a B-Movie.
sorry I over reacted
my bad
