What movies have not aged well?

Blame it on Rio
never seen this movie, but for some reason I read about it, sleazy AF on and off camera

Michelle Johnson was damn fine, but I can help but think she'd be told to lose weight today.

It's a good movie it just hasn't aged well. Still better than most. Just has a very 90's feel too it. Dated doesn't automatically mean bad imo.

Well ya, the movie was filmed and takes place in that timeframe. It's like saying Saturday night fever has a very 70s feel to it, or e.t has a very 80s feel to it....

{<huh}
 
On the flip side Dirty Harry has actually remained relevant : asshole criminal keeps getting released by liberal judges in San Francisco. LMAO

Howard the Duck is a movie that hasn't aged well : horrible story, special effects were poor, and holy shit the story is more absurd than I could have possibly recalled. Mind you I LOVED this movie as a little kid.

Willow : Jesus Titty Fucking Christ this movie sucks! Again, I LOVED it as a little kid, but bloody hell is it boring and tedious beyond all belief. The special effects aren't terrible but the movie is slow to do anything, and there is so much unnecessary fluff that it makes it hard to watch today.
 
That's a weird one... when it came out it was a big deal and it broke box office records. Today, no one talks about it... there are no references to it... no one cares about it... it's almost like it never happened.

I have no clue why.
Fern gully 3d.


A sequel is our next year

You type take that back about Willow you!! It’s still pretty darn good honestly imo.

Howard the Duck was never good. I liked it too as a little kid, kids are dumb.

Avatar will gain traction once the sequels come out. It might even break box office records once again.
 
I liked Heat for its time but I think Den of Thieves surpasses it in story, pacing, gun battles, but not acting.Even though I like Gerard Butler, 50 cent didnt even suck in this, he fit the role.

There is definately updated tactics here. Clinging to Heats shootout is definately a nostalgia thing for you guys. Especially coming from a timeframe standard.
 
Are you 15? Got Down’s? I was referring to the baggy, ill-fitting men’s clothes of the late 90’s/early 2000’s. That shit hasn’t aged well at all, along with many other - more important - aspects about that movie.

Yea I agree with Ezekiel. If a movie takes place in a decade, you can't blame them for wearing the clothes of the decade (what else would they wear?)

What is punishable is when a show in the 80s supposedly takes place in the year 2000 and everyone has a hoverboard, dresses like the teletubbies, and has a big bulky supercomputer... (not predicting that the most powerful computers would one day be super small).

Are they making sequels? With the way things are going I'm confident they'll re-release it like everything else.
 
Pulp Fiction.

jk, the movie is awesome and the soundtrack insane, classic Tarantino.

Bill & Ted Excellent Adventure did not age well, but then what would you expect?

Probably John Carpenters The Thing from 1982. Still a great movie but the effects are definitely dated. Although amazingly they still look better then a lot of today’s CGI.

I thought den of thieves was a poor man's heat, the town was a better imitation

I figured it wouldn't be a popular opinion but that's just the way it turned out for me. I watched all 3 recently.

It's hard for people to consider ANYTHING better than original especially on these forums. But it I was deciding between the 3 I would watch DoT over town and heat.

Heard there was another movie that was also similar called triple 9, have you seen that?
