Top 10 WORST Films Based on a Cartoon 1/2

in today's movie industry Hollywood seems to be running out of ideas and are really desperate to find the next big blockbuster they'll bring in the big bucks because of this there are less and less films that have an original screenplay and more and more adaptions that are sometimes based on something that we would never guess that it would turn into a movie now I don't mean the usual stuff like remakes books or biographies oh no no no no no no no I mean stuff like video games action figures theme park rides and even board games but if there's one thing that Hollywood loves to adapt and never seems to get it right is cartoons now for this top 10 not only does it have to be based on an animated series but it also has to be live-action or a mostly live-action and it must have a theatrical release I'm Anna and this is the top 10 worst films based on a cartoon yes Sapna display number 10 The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle Jurek the early 60s rocky and bullwinkle was known as one of the most popular cartoons on TV thanks to its memorable characters and really clever humor and went on to influence some other popular shows like The Simpsons so I'm sure that making a movie in the style of the show would actually work out right wrong the biggest problem that this film has is that the story is just a huge mess of random plot points it's like if the writers had this goal to cramp as much scenarios as they can in a 90-minute film there's no explaining why it's happening or its purpose things just happen and it moves on from there here's a good example of what I mean Boris Natasha and fearless leader all come out of the TV and turned into live-action thinking from Hollywood to New York and took over Manhattan they got a building with a satellite that can hypnotize people and turn them into mindless zombies when they watched their TV channel RB TV which by the way already a third of the US population has been zombified and now the US government sends a rookie FBI agent to bring rocky and bullwinkle back to the real world to stop the spies and fearless leader and all this happens in the first 10 minutes of the movie when they were riding this yo-yo you're one of the main characters can you explain to me what the frig is going on Oh breaking the fourth wall will get you nowhere you know that right another problem that I have with this movie is the use of animation I can understand at the beginning with the bad 2d animation in the style of the show but when it goes to live-action things get really confusing listen up they have this machine that they say is the first that can kill off cartoons to prove its deadliness they tested on this 2d animated weasel but wait a minute Rocky and Bullwinkle came here as computer animated so how did the weasel came to the real world in 2d but then there's a factor of boris and Natasha and fearless leader when they came out of the TV they suddenly become real people and like Boris said so do their appearance depend on how they came to the real world am I just over analyzing the whole thing oh and by the way did I mention that the cartoon killing machine is called the CDI because you know if they could kill off the reputation of Mario and Zelda surely it can kill off a cartoon moose and squirrel but there are a few good things about the movie I do enjoy Jason Alexander Rene Russo and Robert De Niro's performance as the villains then there are some good jokes from them the left arm never gets away with three puppy and wedgie spies in there will also be a spy hey there was a spy version of Sex in the City also it's nice that they try to make it feel like the original cartoon like it's self-referential humor but the problem with that is just a lot of the jokes are bad and by always pointing out that they're bad won't make it any better the jokes will still be bad and like I said before breaking the fourth wall will get you nowhere The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle here's something we doubt you'll really like number nine Yogi Bear poor hanna-barbera it seems that Hollywood likes to take all their cartoons that made him a household name and mess him up with a film adaptation they must be rolling in their grave so much that they made their own racetrack Six Feet Under but back onto Yogi Bear I get the feeling that nobody and I mean nobody cares about this movie at all and the people who care the least about this film are the cast and crew almost everybody pretty much half-assed what they do just so they can get their paycheck sooner in terms of story it's like if the writers opened the TV and copy the plot from what they just saw making it super predictable from top to bottom to show you guys how predictable the movie is allow me to give you a tiny summary of one part of the movie Jellystone Park is making a fundraiser to save the park from an evil mayor and then Yogi Bear comes in and screws everything up now let's take a moment to think about how the rest of the movie would go you got it good all right now add a lot of bad jokes in there and you could consider yourself that you have seen Yogi Bear in terms of characters normally are they very bland and uninteresting but they're also either unnecessary like Ranger Smith's love interest Rachel or just embarrassing to watch like Ranger Jones it doesn't help that he didn't even try to act I messed up pretty bad sir I know Johnson and it's okay because I wanted to be head Ranger that's probably because you're such a good head Ranger and also because I really value leadership I have a merit badge can we talk about this later because of how we're pressed for time oh my gosh I'm so sorry Ranger Smith it's just that I'm so worried about this situation can't you guys tell that I want to do something about it the only human actor who I guess is trying is the villain Mayor Brown but even with that I'm not buying his performance he sells more like a used car salesman more than a politician I guess we're just gonna have to find some money somewhere right because I'm about to run for governor how am I gonna do that when my own city is going bankrupt okay yes thank you my friend Sam Beauregarde here Square Deal Sam to you with all of today's great giveaway bargains the finest values will get anywhere in the entire country but like I said it's almost everybody who half-assed the whole thing there are still a few who at least put in some level of effort like the animation on Yogi and boo-boo is okay Justin Timberlake is surprisingly good as Boo Boo and like rocky and bullwinkle they try to keep the spirit of the show instead of modernizing it or tries to be cool for the young kids you can thaw that I'm only getting started this is unfortunately the last film on the list that's trying to be like the cartoon it's based on and to be honest guys I'm starting to get scared but with a very transparent story and uninteresting characters even the average bear would be smart enough to pass this film numbering masters of the universe he-man was well-known as possibly the manliest cartoon of the 80s it stars a manly man knowing a manly adventures on a manly Tiger battling a manly villain he's so manly that he would only have a relationship with other men li men but back onto the movie the biggest problem with this film is that when I watch it I feel like it's more of a parody of he-man than an actual adaptation one reason is that the acting can go all over the place like Skeletor would overact his every move or he-man would go and under act speaking of he-man if you think my gay joke before was a cheap shot that's nothing compared to how the movie portrays him not only does Ivan Drago plays it as his genetically enhanced neutral self but he keeps wearing that whatever he's wearing and always showing off his chest at the camera he does wear something else later on in the movie but it's just in his underwear in a scene where he was a bad boy and deserved a good whipping oh and by the way check out his new hot rod now I'm not against a marriage or anything but is there any more ways that we can make he-man gayer have you seen it it's this large it has lights on another factor on why it's more of a parody is the characters from our world yeah I forgot to mention that the plot resolves on man and his gang teleporting from Grayskull to our world imagine all the crazy high jinks that they'll encounter anyways I feel like they just kill the mood of the movie like it would stop an intense scene or an attempt of one just so we could see those characters in their daily lives not to mention that they would help make the film and the other characters even stupider that is actually a very good question he's not even in the original show and he looks like a mix of Jim Broadbent and Sasha scrubbed from Star Wars with the voice of pigment from the journey into imagination ride I know baby if there's anything good I have to say about the film is that at least it looks nice like the settings the costumes and even the makeup well except for skeletor's I mean I'm not buying one bit that he's supposed to have a skull for a face I mean why can't they do like the Red Death costume in the Phantom of the Opera even that looks more like Skeletor than this guy your chains are still mine you will sing for me but even with the power of Grayskull Masters of the Universe is still a dumb and weak adaptation number seven Transformers Revenge of the Fallen okay technically I'm cheating on this one since the movies are based on the toys more than the animated series but you cannot tell me that the show didn't had an influence on the franchise at all heck Peter : the original voice of Optimus Prime reprised his role in all the movies speaking of which have you ever noticed that they're all the same film if you think about it they all share the same plot points like the wacky life of Shia LaBeouf Optimus Prime ex positioning the Decepticons planning to get back at the Autobots them almost leaving earth because one politician says so just to name a few not to mention the similar non returning characters like the one who knows about aliens the douchebag politician that wants the Autobots to leave this planet and the human that works for the Decepticons which in the case of the second movie is a terminator so does the center concept made an alliance with Stein it's actually a really smart move they are definitely not good films but the special effects are amazing and spectacular enough to keep it from being terrible in the case of revenge of the Fallen though I don't think the effects would save this one the thing that irritates me about the film's is that the human characters are really obnoxious and annoying but in transformers 2 they are at their worst not only do we have this dick that they call a protagonist Megan Fox and the first douchebag politician but now we have this hacker who won't stop panicking and talking at 80 miles an hour these totally out of place comic relief's that involves a tiny annoying Decepticon turn good and two of the most racist things ever put on the big screen since Jar Jar but the ones who take me off the most every time they're on screen in all of the movies and the worst of the bunch are Shia LaBeouf's parents freak out please do something right now listen you two can you do us all a favor and let your characters die or quit or compare Michael Bay to Hitler are you doing but if there is one reason why revenge of the Fallen is the worst of the film's is that halfway through the movie they kill off Optimus Prime and he doesn't come back from the dead until the very end for reasons too stupid to remember now the problem with that is that for me Optimus Prime is the reason why we watched these films he is transformers without him during the big battle at the end which is the best part for the fans it just feels like another big-budget a giant robots movie and you know what's the worst thing about Optimus is absent we have to see a lot more of these guys Transformers Revenge of the Fallen more stupid than meets the eye yes number six Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakquel there was a time when Alvin and the Chipmunks were decent a time when they were Saturday morning cartoon stars and even actual pop stars releasing some albums along the way nowadays however they are the poster boys of bad films based on a cartoon like transformers the chipmunk movies all share similar flaws that marks them as bad films the plots are predictable and been done several times before the human actors are either a douche an idiot or in many cases both and the songs they sing are just bad modern pop songs I think the worst in that category is the first one because not only they do those pop songs but they also do terrible pop versions of their songs oh god oh god please no no no come to think of it normally there's that comparison to the Transformers movies but the reason why the Squeakquel is the most hated of the bunch is just like Revenge of the falling it has the same flaws as the other films but their's are the most ridiculous because in the Squeakquel the plot is about the Chipmunks going to high school and this isn't your average high school that everyday people go to one minute in a minute in another no this is well your average high school that everyday people go to in a film that stars singing chipmunks there are two reasons why this plot just doesn't work out at all one and the most obvious it's how people react to this they acknowledge that their Chipmunks and they're really small but the classmates see them as the new kids of the block and the girls are all gaga over them like oh my god Alvin it's so hot I fell out of ham but let's say for a moment that we by the fact that the Chipmunks can go to school here's were reason number to kick send there's a plot point where Alvin is trying to fit in with the cool kids of the school the problem with that is that they're world-famous pop stars why do you need attention from these guys when you already have international fame if anything they should be the ones trying to get your attention by the way if you want to know about the Chipettes in this they're just thrown in to copy some plot elements from the first movie no seriously that's how they introduced them someone just throws a FedEx bag and then pops out the Chipettes like saying no products or something I'm just with films like alvin and the chipmunks the Squeakquel it's no wonder why people leave the theater like Dave Seville number five Inspector Gadget I remember as a kid I used to watch the Inspector Gadget Show and it was awesome you have a goofy half human half robot calm a badass villain a girl with her dog that always solves the case cool gadgets and not to mention the theme song but I also remember when I first saw the film I wondered why is it so different and not as cool as the TV show and even to this day every time I see that thing I still ask the same question but back onto the movie itself remember that scene in moon a huge where everybody's explaining to the duke about their show and it's all like well that's pretty much Inspector Gadget in a nutshell except not as fun it's just a giant mess of sound effects plotholes annoying characters that weren't even from the show and stupid over exaggerated faces but what it fails to do the most is to be an adaptation this thing follows the show as well as a hundred-yard dash for people with no sense of direction for starters let's look at gadget himself played by Matthew Broderick his problem in the movie is that he's just stupid well what I mean is that he's not gadget stupid but stupidly awkward the kind that's not funny and makes you feel a bit uncomfortable I know that it's a common flaw that Broderick has when he's in a bad movie but this is like the magnum opus of stupidly awkwardness giving us such memorable performances like this no then we have the main villain dr. claw played by Rupert Everett now in the show he's been highly known for being threatening because of his evil deep voice and the fact that we only see his arm during the entire series so we never know what he actually looks like in the movie they decided to go in the complete opposite direction not only do we clearly see him but he also gets over-the-top goofy and sometimes goes for the suave type of villain but the big thing that doesn't work out is that the movie is trying to tell us that this guy is supposed to be that guy oh how to say inspector food I think somebody's been watching too many Saturday morning cartoons hmm huh you talking to me are you talking no no no no no no it's cool dinner oh I got this you talking to me well I'm the only one here and by the way if you want to make a good adoption of Inspector Gadget tell now you could make the argument that the film is only loosely based on the cartoon but here's a good question to counter that if that's the case why do they play the Inspector Gadget theme all the time I gotta admit what they did in the intro was really cool but after that it just gets repetitive your life it's like if the movie is trying to remind us what we were watching after we asked what the fridge is this crap Inspector Gadget go-go-gadget failure oh and if you want to know about my thoughts on the sequel I ain't taking any chances the scar on the screen yes for trouble
