What qualifies as a bad film, is it something that critics don’t enjoy and give bad ratings, is it something that doesn’t do well at the box office or is it something you personally don’t enjoy?
For me personally I don’t think 2009 has been an amazing year for films, there have been a few movies that I loved this year and that made the trip to the cinema worthwhile. Some of those movies were The Hangover, Twilight Saga New Moon and 500 Days Of Summer. I’m very much aware though that everyone didn’t enjoy these films and that’s okay with me.
There were a lot of films I saw through the year that didn’t live up to my expectations or just didn’t grasp my attention, a prime example being District 9. This bring us back to my opening question most critics loved this film, it made a ton of money at the box office but I didn’t enjoy it, so does that make District 9 a dreadful film?
I don’t think it does and it’s certainly not the worst of 2009, for me it just didn’t live up to my expectations and maybe that’s partly my fault and not the films for setting my own standards so high. Loads of people around the world loved this film so who am I to say that the film they love or the film all those people worked so hard to make is the worse thing I’ve seen all year…. no one!
I don’t think there can be a worse film of the year or a film classed as the most terrible film ever made cause those films matter to someone, I’m willing to bet everyone loves a film even if its something you would never tell another human soul because its supposedly embarrassing or it was suppose to be horrible.
That’s why people make films to entertain people and no one is ever going to entertain everyone, if it did we would loose something distinctly human the power to have an opinion.
Ill leave you with some of my favourite quotes:
Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. – Franklin D. Roosevelt
The world is but a canvas to the imagination. – Henry David Thoreau
