The green inferno is a good 2am flick to view with your girl before falling asleep.
Hateful 8 was awesome. Great dialogue. A little over dramatic. Yea its Tarantino.
I know this isn't only about sequels. However, a lot of them for into that category (I well remember your Top 10 Sequels that ruined their Franchises – Clip). Just as an alternative, why don't we make a "Top 10 Sequels Praising their Franchises" list?! There you'd have a challenge!
Hateful 8, Collateral Beauty, The Equalizer did not deserve to be on this list. Each made me cry. Not like I cry easily are anything. Thats besides the point. The point is I remember everything about these. The others well. I watched. Suicide Squad has so much potential. I would like to see the original director's cut.
I agree with Suicide Squad being number one on this list. The movie was horid. The actors couldn't act. They killed Quinn and joker for me. The only good one was Diablo tbh.
Me: Agreeing with the video
Number 3: The Hateful Eight
Me: (Dislikes)
Suicide Squad???? They weren't trying too hard, they were barely trying
Hateful 8 was a great movies, one of the few I'd rewatch
That carnage movie was anti native!
Cloud Atlas? Hateful Eight? Tree of Life?
Sorry, WatchMojo, but you're simply wrong.
I refer you to RottenTomatoes for quick summaries of why.
Cloud Atlas and Suicide Squad on the same list? Shame on you!
100% agree with number 1
I can agree with some of these picks, but putting «The Hateful Eight» in there pissed me off something awful! Tarantino has always placed an emphisis on dialogue, so why would they even want to exchange that for meaningless action. GOD FUCKING DAMMIT WACHMOJO! I AM UNTETHERED AND MY RAGE KNOWS NO BOUNDS!
If the visuals were good, but the story sucked, doesn't that mean they didn't try hard enough?
Tarantino trying too hard? That's his signature style to be honest. It's what he does best.
Equalizer and Collateral damage was good to me.
so…..suicide squad tries too hard but dead pool, a movie built around an idiotic anti-hero is gold…….wow
While I haven't seen some of these movies, I disagree about Cloud Atlas and the Hateful Eight. To me they were both good, and the second is Tarantino, of course it's over the top, what would you expect? 😉 But yes, definitely Suicide Squad, that I agree on!
The Hareful Eight was Fricken Awesome!!! WatchMojo is starting to lose it's Credibility.
Suicide squad and the equalizer is a good movie
My brother is an aficionado of 1960s-1970s Italian cinema. He said that 'Django Unchained' and 'Inglourious Basterds' were inspired by the films but 'Hateful Eight' was the closest thing of a proper homage.
The hateful 8? Seriously?
Hateful Eight straight up does not belong on this list.
"The tree of life" was truly unbearable & so fuckin tedious to get through. He's made it clear he relies on visuals above all.
3:55 Cannibal Jack Sparrow in Green Inferno!
HELL NO WHY IS THE EQUALIZER ON HERE?!
The Emoji Movie trailer should've taken all 10 spots as well as ALL the honerable mentions
Sin city and transformers 2 tried way too hard and sucked
h8tful 8 was good
vanilla skies were good cmon
I didn't think Suicide Squad tried too hard. It's not the greatest, but it's like a guilty pleasure
I want to watch at worlds end
The hateful eight was significantly better than Inglorious bastards and django unchained for me.
Cloud atlas was amazing
For Suicide Squad being #1, my mom says you f***ing suck.
Hulk 2003. from the wacky comic book like scene transitions to the over the top acting to the unbearable amount of incredibly boring scenes with hulk standing around all depressed and having flashbacks about his childhood, it tried SO hard to be all artistic and shit that it just came off as weird and silly.
Not Cloud Atlas, but WatchMojo is trying too hard.
hateful 8 was great
go fuck yourselves
