Jesus christ, they made a second one of those? I'm still recovering from the first one.

The second one is better than the first, but it's still pretty bad.

I liked the first. I thought it was a story of cross cultural understanding. The moment where the Predators accepted a human (outside of Danny Glover) as an equal hunting partner brought tears to my eyes.

Some movies are bad and that's just the end of it (e.g. Battlefiled Earth).
Some movies are bad and the director heads into a flame war with the Internet (e.g. Boll)
Some movies are so bad they allegedly are entertaining and have a fan base. (e.g. Troma)
but there is one movie so utterly rotten, that it spawned a cult of artsy snobs declaring it a high work of art, the Mona Lisa of movies.
Naturally, you the reader, a member of the dis-arted peasant masses, would not know about such a "good" movie. Without further ado, I suggest you watch BEGOTTEN (1990) and then try to tell me again that any movie in this thread was bad.
I have seen premieres of feature movies that were so bad the audience started revolt and shout at the director while the movie was still running until the screening room descended into chaos. I have seen feature presentations so bad, they were recut into 10 minute short movies and still buried. I have seen premieres of Boll movies before he did video game licenses and see him defend them (in relation to the rest he did not seem half bad really). I have seen alleged movies for children where people stir a 20ft. pot of mush for 120 minutes while the audience is tripping on acid. Nothing of that stands up to Begotten.

If you need something to wipe your brain afterwards, I have found that watching "The Nine Lives of Thomas Katz" actually works, due to the unique topic of that movie.

Beyond that, there is only the internet. Should you ever run that as a video on your Halloween party for all your guests, then you are the toughest fucker known to man. Whoever of your friends is not bleeding insane, will never speak to you again 10 minutes into the movie. Should there be children present, they will be scarred for life.

To get things horribly right I think you should be pretentious enough to make a movie about a catastrophe you see coming and then have it really happen after some time.
Another way to interpret pretentiousness gone horribly right is Uwe Boll. Now follow my train of thought for a second. Boll used to be yet another German director getting his movies funded by the German Board for Movie Subsidies. But in 1992 he got incredibly cocky and ultra-pretentious by claiming that famous German politician Uwe Barschel did not commit suicide but was in fact killed by spies. Back then he got hated to hell and back by German authorities for that and the movie subsidiary board was basically off limits from then on. Today we of course know that Boll's version is infinitely closer to the truth than the official suicide version. His pretentiousness proved to be right. But at the same time it forced him to find new methods to finance his films, which is why he moved to Canada and started promoting his finance scheme with the tax-refund safety net courtesy of the German government. We all know how that ended.
But even back in 2000, when he was at German film festivals and got asked why he financed abroad instead of taking from the subsidiary pool, he basically admitted that he was persona non grata there. There you have it: horribly right.

I thought I would enjoy the movie for those merits alone but for some reason all the humor in the movie totally missed.
