The Worst TV Based Movies of All Time - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The title basically speaks for itself in terms of the subject that's at hand. For example:
*Inspector Gadget-To be honest with you, I haven't actually seen the movie so I have to take somewhat of a benefit of the doubt so to speak. But then again based upon looking over the particular means for advertising, the movie seemingly takes too much liberties that just challenge the interigty of the show. For one thing, the growling and unseen villian Dr "I'll get you next time Gadget, next time!" Claw is seen in the movie and is made into an "actual" character (what's next, a movie on Muppet Babies in which we actually see Nanny). Also from what I hear, Penny & Brian, who played an important role in the TV show, is only reduced to a brief cameo (then again, I suppose they wouldn't be cameos then) in the mist of the shameless advertising.

*Charlie's Angels-This movie is virtually becoming a poster child (along with Wild Wild West and Batman & Robin) for ultimately insulting, empty, and unispired action movies. In the case for Charlie's Angels, the movie for one thing, has little and frequent direction in terms of what tone it wants to bring forth. All that's left is simply a bunch of flat and heavy handed direction, writting, and plotting as the unexicting action scenes simply come off as widow dressing.

*Wild Wild West-You knew that this was going to come up sooner or later. Wild Wild Worst is just a collection of repetitious and extremely heavy-handed and flat jokes about the handicap and the state of African Americans around that particular period. Watching this movie is just like watching money go down the drain. We get to see more and more of a campy type of indulengence that ultimately carry little sigificance over the lame plotting.

*Mission: Impossible 2-The movie is so uneven (not to mention formulaic) underneth the empty characters, that when the movie finally gets to an the action (i.e. guns and explosions), that it almost feels as if a big bulk that wasn't used prior to this was tacked on at the last minute to recover. And don't even get me started in the sheer redundency of the trusty masks (which got more and more laughable and predictable) that everybody seemed to have.

The second Brady Bunch Movie. The 1st one was corny enough but the second one just went too far. Yuck!

How can you insult Charlies Angels?? I loved that movie! Ok, it's pretty light on plot and character development - but it's just a bit of fun. It's not supposed to be really deep and meaningful - it's just a bit of light entertainment and it doesn't pretend to be anything more than that.
It's definately not in my 'all time top 5' but it's a brillaint piece of popcorn entertainment. It has EVERYTHING - cool music, beautiful actresses, smart fight scenes, car chases, kung-fu, cool costumes, vibrant colours - it looks amazing.
Sure, it's nonsense, but it's fun, entertaining nonsense. You can turn your brain off and forget about everything for 90 mins while you're watching Charlies Angels - that's why it's cool.

Sgt. Bilko with Steve Martin in the title role was pretty bad!

I'm going to be straight to the point on this one. It gets on my damn nerves whenever you do your best to present something as intellectually fulfilling to read yet all that you get is the complete opposite in short doses. Once last year on IMDB.com, somebody simply responded by saying "The movie's hot, the girls are cool, chill man." Believe me (and some of you may think that I need to "lighten up" or that I'm crossing the "line" so to speak), I'm not not one of these shallow minded gnomes who will serve as a foil for everything as it does what it was intended to do because I'm out to "tell it like it is." In this case, the movie version of Charlie's Uglies.

Look, I'm really sorry - but you DO need to lighten-up. It's just a movie. If you don't like then fair enough, nobody's forcing you to watch it.
There are a lot of really terrible things in the world to get angry about - a dumb movie isn't one of them.

Apparently, you're forcing me to like certain movies or else you wouldn't have directly responded to a portion of what I was talking about. I guess you've never heard of the right that people have to express their own individual opinions (it's a figure of speech). Every movie is just a movie which is why that we call it acting and entertainment. So I don't completely buy that particular arguement. And iff I was going to "lighten up" on a certain movie, then I would've gave a recomending review to crap like Wild Wild West and the like.
