Good/Great Cinematography In Not Great Movies
- Thread starter Schlorgan
- Start date
Looking at the director's filmography his movies follow a general trend - shit script, rad visuals. The Fall was good, though.Immortals is one of these movies for me.
This movie is terrible.
I know some people didn't like Blade Runner 2049, and the Last Jedi is extremely hotly debated, but come the fuck on.
Mentioned above but Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole is a pretty mediocre movie that has an amazing cinematography.
Good one. I'll watch anything Verbinski makes. If there is any dude who should be put into a Star Wars movie it's him.
i'll go with The Revenant, amazing cinematography and camera work but the film left me disappointed.
I'm surprised with all of the hot takes in this thread that Avatar hasn't come up. That movie was pretty mediocre as a film but the cinematography and visuals made it into an experience.
disagree. with all the shitty cgi animals, gear and weird visual gags, it felt like the prequels (i.e. fake and not good).
I don't think Avatar is interesting visually. It's obviously well shot in terms of camera movement and blocking though.
I do agree here. The story is very meh but it has some really gorgeous shots
I would like to know what movies do you 2 like the most!? Star Wars 8? Marvel stuff? Harry Potter? 50 Shades of Grey?
Ya know what. I'll second this. JJ does some damn good work.
I enjoyed watching the film. If there's a Zhang Yimou film that's fits this more, it'll be curse of the golden flower.
Mary and the witches flower and Tales of Earthsea have some beautiful animation but really uninteresting to watch.
Australia comes to mind. Some pretty great shots in a really mediocre film.
some of y'all are being stupid as fuck and I'm running outta patience
I should hit you with a chair for this

The Lone Ranger is a legit good movie. And yes, it's shot amazingly. The entire William Tell Overture sequence embarrasss every single action beat this decade outside of maybe Fury Road and some MI6 stuff.
Likewise! I think it was released at about the same time as that Will / Jaden Smith flick that sank both their careers. I want to say, After Earth? Oblivion was brilliant.
It has a 97 on rotten tomatoes. People are fucking trolling in this thread.
Mandy.
People who don't post names to go along with their screenshots are bad people
This thread is great. I'm gonna waste my time and see Razorback (1984) today, and see if I can find that Vanilla Ice movie.
I liked how Hardware (1990) looked. A post-apocalyptic movie about a killer robot and an artist. The movie is really boring but the mood is great and so are some of the shots. The matte paintings are ace too.
I don't have access to the movie so I had to dig through Google Images. This is the best I could scrounge up.

you kinda need to have both
good cinematography is not just being gorgeous to look at, it also means to frame stuff in a way that enhances the script and the message behind it, or the kind of feelings you are trying to make the audience feel
when you have a mix of both a good script and good cinematography, that's when great movies are made..otherwise, like hitchcock said, you are just making "photographs of people talking"

I wish people didn't use this thread as a childish way to get attention with controversial hot takes. It just makes you look stupid.
It's been mentioned a few times already, but The Fall is a good pick. I actually think it's a good movie, but it's hardly great by anyones standards. It's absolutely beautiful though.
I quite like Hardware. It's not great, but I've actually rewatched it more times than many films I regard as true masterpieces. The visuals are probably a big reason why. It's a weird little movie.

All of his films look amazing.Razorback, a schlocky Australian horror film starring a killer boar, was directed by a prominent music video director with a keen eye
I mean that William tell overture scene on the trains is an impeccable action scene that is well shot. Such a shame it had to be at the climax of a movie this overlong and this narratively messy. (Oh and maybe Johnny Depp's worst blockbuster role)
