responses and comments:
A good movie for me, is the one that i don't expected it is good. huh? =) Well I'm not that choosy when it comes to movie, i just don't like those boring s and have no thrill. Yes the actor really matters. That's the one thing i look for when I'm going to watch movie. And a good movie for me is at the end of the story i had learned anything from it. [ayebelle]
Before going out to a movie or renting. I like to watch the trailors online first to see if i would like it. Its the theme that i like, i watch. It doesnt matter the actor/actress. If there are actor/actress that i like in it, thats all the better. The genre doesnt matter either. As long as its not all bloody gore. [jdyrj777]
Hi Ronny! A movie that will be good to me, would be anything with a lot of suspense! And of course an occasionally great actor wouldn't hurt! [prikayjo2436]
For me as long as the movie has a good story I don't care about whether the actor or the actress is not famous. I like to watch movies especially action, comedy or sci fi. [agv0419]
Well poo, was fixing to tell u some stories, lol but u just want to hear about movies. i'm just teasing w/you, Ronnyb. I never go to the movies & really don't watch them much on tv. mylotting had taken away my old life of books & movies altho i alaways have a book started. i love a good story w/love , mystery no blood & guts for me. i really like tyler perry has madear, he cracks me up. do u like him? he's really to be admired i think. I really don't know too many of the new actors but i do like denzel. Ehat's not to like. rolleyesI have quite a few tv stars i like to. [ANTIQUELADY]
Thanks Ronnyb, i like teasing w/u. I am turning off the computer earlier & watching more tv at night. I like some of the new shows but haven't watched a movie in ages. U have a happy day. [ANTIQUELADY]
I like a good drama movie and if its a documentary I love it even more. Nothing like watching something that really did happen. There is so much of this fake stuff I just cannot stand that on the other hand my hubby cant get enough of that stuff. I also love a good comedy. Has to be classy though not a trashy commedy. [caroll30]
Yes I like drama and mystery more than anything else .I am trying to get into the documentary thing yet.I do watch documentaries but not as much anymore [ronnyb]
Mostly I love thriller genre and gore theme guys. I have watched all saw series, its story very great and the blood effect too. For me the story of movies is the most important thing. And the second is "theme" as you said. And i don't care who was playing in the movie. It just in the last choice. Have a nice day [icecubic]
In my opinion, Good story lineup is very much imporatnt for making a good movie. Also good actors are required, because if actors won't act good then you can't make good movie. [saurabh_rmp]
Maybe actor,a movie will hit the big screen,what do you notice firstly,for me,the superstars.Ok,a fascinating plot with some film stars attract me totally.It's perfect to watch a movie,your love film stars inside.The film stars with pull at the box office,and the plot can go a long way.if a movie have both of these,yeah,a wonderful movie. [lichee_china]
Yes I guess the most easily identifiable part of any movie is the star but like you mentioned the plot is important too. [ronnyb]
A good movie for me would have to be one that is not fairly predictable, accompanied by good actors. I think there are so many movies these days that are just really predictable. Like you can tell the ending or how the movie is going to go within the first 15-30 minutes of watching it. The genre doesn't matter. I just don't like movies that are dense and predictable. [rg0205]
Yes I really agree with you I cant help but feel like I have seen so many of these movies somewhere before and that is one of the thing I hate when a movie is predictable and cliche.Thank you for your answer . [ronnyb]
A good storyline that keeps my interest and good acting is what I would consider a good movie. I love watching a good mystery and when it comes with wonderful acting and a great storyline then I consider it a great movie. [robbinredmon]
It is always the story. Give me a good plot and I don't care who is in the film.It is true that I love Kevin Spacey but I haven't seen all his films . Why? Because some of them have a storyline I loathe.Also works the other way.I hate George Clooney but I finally saw one of his films and I liked it .It was Michael Clayton.it is the story that's gets me. [sarahruthbeth22]
Its a combination of actors, director, story/screenplay, music, [EdTv00]
for me there has to be a good interesting story line and violence,preferably with lots of blood,,but on the odd occasion i will sit and watch a true life weepy movie,only if i'm on my own,coz otherwise my bloke would take the mick out of me crying and being silly [doormouse]
Actors are really not a factor after i start watching a movie. But they're a factor for me to choose watching or not. The act is what it matters. After that comes the story. The story must be consistent within itself. I do not mean it must be realistic, lets examine Star Wars for example. It is not realistic, yet it is consistent in an almost perfect way. I also think soundtracks play a great importance and should be chosen carefull. To make a scene perfect, sometimes you use a sentence, somtimes a stance from the actor/actress and sometimes a good soundtrack. To choose carefully is crucial. [smedtra]
A good movie to me has a great storyline, great acting and great cinematograpy. [phantsy]
action, suspence and a great story line [matiskater193]
There is only two big words for it all......ACTION, and MEGAN FOX!!!! [wookeyg]
For me, it's typically a genre. I like to watch science fiction movies, comedies, or even scary movies. It usually depends on my mood. If I'm in a bad mood, I'll make myself watch a comedy to make me feel better. My favorite comedy is 17 Again. It's pretty funny, but can get a LITTLE inappropriate. I also like watching scary movies, like The Grudge. My favorite scary movie is The Blaire Witch Project. It can seem pretty doubtful at first, but if you really let the movie play with your mind, it can creep you out. Science fiction movies are good for any mood. My favorite's The Day After Tomorrow. It's a good representation of what our world has become. [oXAquaXo]
It has to have something appealing to me. I can get by wit a poor quality of one but not the other. I like for in a movie is this, if it has it all it's awesome! I'm trained in the movie business and effects so I know a thing or two about movies. Acting: Is the acting believable? Did the actor come off as the character well or does it look like that person is acting and just saying practiced lines. For example I love harry Potter but some of "Harry's" acting sounds like lines said from a script, especially in the early ones. (But they are kids so I don't blame them) Characters: Are there fun unique characters relevant to the plot? Are thy just a bunch of Mary sues? Meaning are they all powerful without weaknesses or are they stereotyped and boring? Do they have all the characters or just some of them being good? Plot: Is it new with a fun twist? Does it make sense or just it leave you confused and annoyed by the end? Id it the same plot you see over and over without an attempt to make it new? script: Are there funny lines, catchy phrases, thought out and meaningful, good for the character, delivered in a fun or dramatic way to help the story along? Or is it dull and blah? effects: I am a visual effects artist so I know what to look for in a movie. For example the new Indiana Jones movie was disappointing. The crystal skull looked like it was filled with syran wrap and the green screen compositing was horrible. Especially in the jungle chase. If I could do better, i know it's bad. I know not all films have big bucks, but they should not try to stretch their budget and make lots of crappy effects when a few good ones would have been fine. [Silverbeam]
You have raised a number of issues that definitely have effect on the movies. For me all that you have mentioned have some impact on me but depending on the movie and the theme some aspects will be more signicant than others. For example, some actors/actress will dramatise the role effectively that you can identify with the situation and the person so I anticipate great acting from actors because they are quiet gifted in their craft. I enjoy comedy, It must be wholesome. The family should be able to watch it together. I also enjoy True life stories but not those with murder (those with criminal elements etc tend to bring fear upon me so I do not expouse myself to this). In addition I become a victim by automatically assuming a role and react negatively to the situation. However, I will watch a documentary that relates to murder and learn from it since it will be one that aims to allow the veiwer to become aware of these things. I do not like scifi motive , I view these as demonic. I enjoy motives that aims to edify, entertain and encourage the best in us so that we as human beings can become better persons for ourself and utimately for society. [audrey7]
I would have to say that it definitely has to be a movie for the whole family to watch. It must have really good actors and a good storyline also. It should not have vulgar language or nudity either. [stephcjh]
yes, i agree. A movie shared with the whole family is a great experience. Great time to bond. [morningdew02]
I like comedies, and romantic comedy, I'm not into all that gore,blood and guts kind of movies. I used to watch them when I was younger, I even watched horror movies too but nowdays, I'm not into it, guess I must be getting older..lol. [walijo2008]
Romantic comedy movies are generally light, thus good to watch. I remember watching doubled movies in our local cinema when i was young; The alligator and the Jaw... i develop fears of swmming in an open water. Not good experience. If you want to de-stress comedy and light romantic flicks are great. [morningdew02]
Lots of different things go into making a movie "great" in my mind. Characters you can really believe, empathize with, maybe even see yourself being friends (or enemies) with. That is partly the writers' job and partly the actor's job, to make the character into someone real. I have a fairly lengthy list of favorite actors and they all have fairly formidable resumes littered with amazing characters. And chances are if they are in a film then I will give it a chance because of their reputation. A plot with a good solid line. We've gotten to a stage where, especially in horror movies, the plot seems to have become the least important part of the movie. If a movie has big explosions or gallons upon gallons of high velocity blood spatter and brain matter leaking all over the warehouse floor or a "smokin' hot" female lead willing to wear a dishtowel around her waist and call it a skirt, then that movie no longer needs a plot to keep people interested. And that makes me sad. I'm pretty partial to dramas and thrillers but a genuinely good comedy that relies on actual comedy and not gimmicks or gross-out jokes will keep me interested also. [crimsonladybug]
For those who are movie fanatics, you can relate to this; 1.) A good movie leaves a smile on your face after you left the cinema 2.) You can hear its soundtract even if its not actually playing... the whole experience just leaves a mark on you. 3.) You share it with friends 4.) A fav scene just flash in your mind when the situation triggers you to.. you either smile, cry, be sad, happy, angry, remorseful... it awakens deep emotions in you. 5.) You learned from it 6.) You can identify with its characters 7.) You actually write it in your slumbook, diary, journal, or just share it in a random conversation if the opportunity of presenting it arise 8.) You remember it years.. years.. and years after. 9.) You memorize unforgettable lines theme is important in a good movie... dialoques..actors... setting.. musical scoring... and every element of it and what makes it more surreal at times is the time that you share it with someone special. [morningdew02]
Hi ronnyb, Main thing is the actor.Because of the actor only the crowd is attracted to see the film.And the second is the concept.Most of the films will be a mega hit because of the hero.Even though the movie does not have any concept it'l run like anything. [srija12]
For me, what makes a movie good is it's twist, the story, if the story will make me think and realize somethings, then it is enough for me to say that the movie is a good movie. Thanks for letting me post to this beautiful topic. Happy mylotting [rjvb26]
Hola from Spain. A good actor, a good script, good director, a good producer ... That's easy. Good movies are based on the involvement of those responsible. Inside and outside the camera. I've seen players who normally are horrible, they have made memorable performances in a given time. The difference: the hands that have produced the product. A good director, it is not so, if he can not engage their stakeholders. Not enough to have a good script, it should be responsible for the product worldwide. A good producer will do the impossible so that the fiction is really all you need and will require to give everything I needed, too. A "team" makes a good movie. A "good director" with no team, can do what? A "good player" who is not involved in the role, makes a bad business (Think ex. Wesley Snipes). From all this, no matter the topic. If everything works, the result will be "extraordinario". Think in a film, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", had the money, history, technical professionals, actors .... Someone believe the characters?Carlos, sorry for my English. [demian55]
I like comedys and romantic movies the best. I'm not really particular about who is in it, as long as they are good actors and the story is good. If it stars someone I like that's better, but not necessary. I hate when the previews hype a movie and it's supposed to be soo good, and then when I see it I'm let down. I remember I expected so much from "Beverly Hills Cop" and then when I saw it, I didn't like it as much as I expected to. I thought it was good but not great like I thought it was going to be. That's happened more than a few times. [cerebellum]
I prefer a movie with a great plot, little if any foul language or explicit sex scenes, actors who can act and writers who can write without putting in extra foul language because they really have nothing to say. I will watch almost any type of movie although with most of them today, you know the ending within five minutes. It seems ideas are dead in Hollywood. They either remake an old movie or put new words to old themes. Frankly, most of the time I prefer the cartoons such as Shrek, Monsters, Madagascar, etc., because they offer fun instead of dull dialogue [mysticmaggie]
It has to move me emotionally! That is what makes a good movie to me! Whether it is a comedy that makes me laugh, an epic tale that takes you through all sorts of emotions or a sad film based on a true story. If it moves me, then I consider it to be a good movie! [RawBill1]
I like romance/drama but whatever the case or kind of movie in any category I like the ones that are based on true stories.... These movies actually give you every category whether it is drama,romance,comedy, or scary..... It just gives you something to relate too..... Everytime I watch a movie based on a true story there are things that occur that have happened in my life or I have seen on the news.... It just brings things into perspective. [hagirl]
I'm usually drawn to movies in which I find the story line interesting. As far as the genre of the movie, I prefer comedies, but enjoy dramas, suspense and sometimes action movies. [Picquarian]
It's the story. If I get involved and I care about the characters and what is happening then it is a good movie. [Canellita]
It can be any genre as long as it is good and up to the standard. It will be great if the main actor and actress can act well, with the right chemistry, handsome/cute and pretty. The story line should not be predictable, had some great philosophy / ideas that we can appreciate, with a twist in it. Realistic, great special effect like 2012 will be superb :) [Iriene88]
My idea of a good movie is a well made one doing justice to the theme.It can be of any genre.It has to do justice to the subject taken to make it interesting and absorbing for the audience.We can find very good examples of movies in each category. And I like to watch any kind of movie if it has got a great production value.happy [balasri]
The plot is all that I care for. If it can be gripping and unpredictable without being unreasonable, then I might watch the movie. Another factor I would consider is it should not be a violent movie. I don't mind situational violence here and there when it's necessary, but the theme shouldn't run on the basis of violence. Then the content shouldn't offend my sense of morality too. Genre isn't really an issue, if the movie is made with great care and meticulousness. Suspense thriller is my favorite genre. [I_LUV_U]
A good movie should have a good story and good acting. It doesn't matter to me who stars in a movie as long as every actor plays their part convincingly. I don't like too many special effects therefore I don't watch sci fi or too many action movies but in general I just like a good story with quality performances. [BulletTooth]
Normally, I prefer the movie to have some actors that I am familiar with. At least one or two that I saw their face before in some other movie. Then a story line that persuaded me to believe that it is real or touching. Combine with good theme song, background music and scenery, then everything will be perfect. [joandevil]
It's not the actors as much as the plot. I want action, humor, bad guys getting their butts kicked, justice prevailing, and friends standing by each other. I like it simple! I love sci-fi, but there aren't really a lot of good movies in that genre. I like action/suspense more than others I think, although a good comedy is great. Romance is ok, as long as it isn't too sticky. There are some movies that are really not that good, but I still love 'em. Like Long Kiss Goodnight. I could pick that one apart all day, but I love it. I really do. Lethal Weapon 1,3 and 4 (yes, I skipped saying 2). Always (romance, but so funny!). The King and I (their constant bickering was fun). Terminator 2. T1 was a nice little romance, period. T3 should be on a junk pile. T2 was the best of the 3. I've never really liked Will Smith, but he makes some fabulous movies. Even ones I wouldn't normally like, I liked because of the way they were handled. I adore George Clooney, but I don't care for most of his movies. They're just not my kind. [snowcat46]
