Honestly most of the modern movies are so bad that even nobody will most likely want to pirate them

I pirated Twisters and wanted a refund.

I think we're all owed a refund and a penalty. What an insult to the original film...

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I really don't know why they made it. If it had been an actual sequel to the original that in some way carried on the story that would have been okay.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wait. It's not a sequel? Then what is it, other than a steaming pile of offal?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 2 months ago

The only allusion to it being a sequel is the bin full of drones from the original. That's as close to the original cast as it gets.

They couldn't even be arsed to Ghostbusters it up by getting the old crew to show the youngsters how it's done.

You can guess the ending about ten seconds in, and the ending is actually worse than that.

Plus I really don't like Glen Powell. The man looks designed by committee by Hollywood to normalise age gap relationships. He gives me the fucking creeps.

I watched the original and it was so bad. How can the new movie be an insult? Can it get worse?
