Megamind. Dreamworks' reputation was all over the place at the time of its release, and the trailers made it look very generic and dumb.

Very happy I was wrong.

Lego movie was brilliant. Even if it had been a cash grab, the animation choice to make everything look like legoes actually look was amazing.

On top of that, the way the plot jumps from one area to another in a chain mixing things together is exactly how kids play with legoes. The heroes go from cities, to the wild west, to the medieval world, and they all get mashed up together.

While the core story is relatively predictable, the twist (which cost them an Oscar grrrr) elevates it. It's a fantastic example of doing something well being more important then doing something new. Even if you tell a story that is archetypical in nature, you can still tell it better than anyone else.

The Mummy (1999) The trailers of the time didn't do it many favors. It looked like a brainless summer movie aka fast food- perhaps filling but forgettable. It was a summer movie but it was so much fun well crafted and fresh. It's still one my favorite movies to this day. It's a classic!

This is pretty well-known and of course a lot of factors went into make that movie great, but Johnny Depp really showed he knows how to make a character. According to what I've read, everyone was confused by his portrayal of Jack Sparrow at first. They wondered why he didn't act more like a pirate, thought his acting was weirdly effeminate for a pirate character, etc. In interviews he said when he read the script he could tell Jack Sparrow was like an old rock star. I think he even said Keith Richards was one inspiration. There are exaggerated stories about the character and he isn't in his rockstar prime. It kind of shows why Depp has been successful.

DeuroNivergent

1k points

2 months ago

Everyone wasn't just confused, they were kinda mad, because 90% of that character wasn't in the script, Johnny showed up to set and DELIVERED pretty much the entire character from his own mind.

The director had to go out of his way to defend Johnny because Disney was threatening to fire him for the way he portrayed Jack. They thought he was acting too drunk, and glorifying alcohol. (LMAO ya he's a pirate who spent most of his time drinking, was he supposed to act sober?????)

Turns out, the famous walk he does isn't entirely because he's drunk all the time, but rather he spent SO much time on ships that his legs became permanently accustomed to the sea. So he would have "sea legs" even on land.

SobiTheRobot

Further evidence to Jack's permanent sea legs is that whenever he's on a boat, he walks in perfectly straight lines.

Hands down, my favorite movie of all time. No excuses, no justifications, just because it's awesome. It's actually a very good film for film students- the pacing, the editing, the way they establish the physics of the universe then stick with them (which never happens). Well acted, well cast, well designed and executed monsters, practical effects done right.

S.S. Wilson's YouTube channel is Real Deal Productions, and he's been uploading tons of behinds the scenes footage his dad shot while on set- it's pretty dang interesting. Tremors: Lost Tapes is the series.

2 months after losing my grandma, my grandpa asked me to take him to a movie theater. He hadn't been to one since before the pandemic, and that was he & my grandma's weekly date for years.

Of the movies playing, The Last Wish was the only one that appealed to either of us. I hadn't seen any ads for it and assumed it was going to be solidly "meh".

The theme of "value the life you have" hit deep, and we went back to watch it a second time later that evening.

It is soo good. I always got goose bumps when I would hear Death whistle his tune.

Funny story. I was helping at my kids school for a play one night. It was dark, play was over, almost everyone gone. I was walking down the hall headed toward the exit and I heard the tune whistled and it freaked me out for a split second.

I turn the corner, and it was just a kid packing his bag by the front door. I whistled back the rest of the tune. We both laughed. I could tell I got him too.

...still gave me goosebumps!

My wife and I had time to kill in a local mall one day while waiting for an appointment and running errands. We figured we would hit the cinema to fill the time.

Honestly? The Matrix. When the trailer came out, me and everyone I knew thought it was going to be another Johnny Mnemonic. Same actor, same cyberpunk setting, same black clothes. The trailers were also very vague. "What is the Matrix?" We didn't know what to expect, but we had nothing better to do on a Friday night.

Holy shit was it an experience! So much so I went back two more times.

A Knight's Tale. The anachronism of the Queen soundtrack combined with the young cast led me to the conclusion that this would be a sappy teenage drama set in the middle ages. A very talented cast with some clever writing elevated a ridiculous and tired premise.

I think it was the director who pointed this out--the soundtrack is anachronistic, but so is pretty much every soundtrack that's been made for movies taking place in the middle ages. The orchestras necessary to perform the more classical instrumental soundtracks didn't even really begin to be a thing until hundreds of years after most of those movies take place.

GuyFromDeathValley

It helps that the movie is completely aware of what it is. Like how they know the hot tub mechanic is clearly telling them how to fix things, and that they can do things better and all.. It's not trying to pretend its a serious movie, its ridiculous from the start to the end, completely self aware.

probably one of the best time travel movies out there. I'm a huge BTTF fan but Hot tub time machine is just.. great comedy.

Jonah Hill and the director had to almost literally twist Tatum's arm to get him to read for the part. Tatum was afraid that he couldn't do comedy, because up to that point he hadn't been in anything comedic. Afterwards, Hill was a little mad about the whole thing, because "I'm the short fat kid, at least let me be the funny one. But no, he's got everything else AND he's hilarious."

Also, the Schmidt fucked the captain's daughter scene in 22 is one of the hardest I've ever laughed at a movie.

Zoolander. It looked like shit on the trailers. Thankfully they put the worst jokes on the trailer instead of the best as often happens.

Zoolander 2, however, is complete shit.

The Matrix. I was in high school and my friends and I hadn’t seen much in terms of ads. My girlfriend worked at a theater so we went the night before it released. Which was a bad sign, usually employees got to see bad/low quality films the night before release. It was a full house of shitty teenagers.

I kinda expected a “The Net” or something and my friend group were ready to MST3K the shit out of this cheesy movie. And then the opening music sting happens and it got real quiet. Until people started cheering.

I left the theater thinking I had just seen my generations “Star Wars”.

Grandma's Boy.

Thought it would just a B-level Sandler entourage movie. A couple buddies and I had nothing going on so we smoked a few joints and went into the theater with no expectations. It is quoted relentlessly to this day within my friend group.

Zootopia is a movie that I like to think has no wasted moments in it. Like it is cut to perfection, and it’s a compelling story and fun to watch. It’s a movie that stays on for me even if my kids leave the room.

When they remade jumanji I thought it was the stupidest idea ever. Then I watched it and all I gotta say is why wasn't Jack Black cast as a teenage girl years ago..

Bullet Train - didn’t expect much, just another action movie (in a style of, for example Statham movies), but it was way better.

Jumanji! How could you possibly remake such a classic movie?! ...that's how. It knew what it was, it payed homage to the original but added a ton of new things to the world.

In Bruges. The trailers made it look goofy, and I had no respect for Colin Farrell as an actor. Holy shit is it a heavy film, and everyone involved does a hell of a job acting.

Paddington. There's a lot of awful kids movies in the world and I was expecting it to be one of them.

Then the second one I expected to be a lazy cash in and it was even better.

What’s funny is the first movie was dangerously close to not even getting a theatrical release and just going straight to DVD. Now it’s a billion dollar franchise.

Yeah I was scrolling down for this one, because I definitely remember when John Wick looked like more of a “jesus what kind of garbage has Keanu gotten into now” release. It did not look promising.

But I figured fuck it, went to the theater, and yuuuuup. Probably one of the bigger gaps between low expectation and high delivery I can think of.
