I’ve seen some awful trailers, but this is the worst

- Letters from DeadpoolHey DeadPool, You are a funny guy. How did you become a super hero? What do you do when you’re not doing anything? Do you like being a superhero? Why do you wear a mask? Why do you wear red and white? Are you Canadian? Getting superpowers is sort of a long story. Some people […]
- Preliminary review of Dr. StrangeI feel like a marketing executive put a gun to the screenwriter’s head and said “I don’t CARE what the movie is about, put New York City, London, and Hong Kong in it. Just do that thing where the villain is trying to collect plot coupons around the world in places that happen to be […]
- Calling All Supervillain StoriesDen Warren, (K-Tron, Metahuman Wars) is issuing a call for 3k-5k word submissions for a superhero prose fiction anthology titled, The Supreme Archvillain Election. Each submission will be a supervillain sitting at a huge table explaining why they should be voted as the Supreme Archvillain, then they go into a story, etc. Reprint excerpts and […]
- Man of Steel Review1. This movie is about as bad as Catwoman but, in Catwoman’s defense, it had okay action scenes. 2. Man of Steel particularly struggled with family dialogue. E.g. Clark’s Kryptonian parents take 3 minutes to describe their plan to send him to Earth and say their goodbyes. It’s pretty bland stuff, e.g. melodramatic intonations like […]
- MISTAKES WERE MADEI spent 5 hours this week watching Man of Steel and taking 5,000 words of notes. It was like being trapped on an alien planet where the atmosphere consists 80% of characters telling Clark what incredible, grandiose things he symbolizes, 20% of daringly bad action scenes, 15% of grimly constipated expressions, and 15% of acting […]
- Out of the Past non-reviewOut of the Past is a 1947 noir thriller so brilliant I cannot do it justice. I would definitely recommend it, particularly if you’re working with… Characters Plots Accidental deaths falsely claimed as murder-suicides Double-crosses, triple-crosses, and maybe a quadruple-cross depending on how you interpret a self-defense kill with a fishing reel. A complex plot […]

The whole thing seems like some kind of joke. Is this movie for real?
…this is the worst. I aspire to never see more of this.
I think it’s a joke, it looks fan-made
I think it’s for real. Here’s a list of screenings.
Oh NO! I can’t believe it. But luckily it’s not polluting my Canadian airspace.
Dammit, it’s not fair that Washington has to suffer and Canada doesn’t. They have an entry form to request screenings, so maybe they’ll do one in Vancouver or Toronto. 😀
Oh God! That looked absolutely terrible. It’s a Bats rip-off.
Considering that an actual Classic horror film covering this same subject exists(Birds Alfred Hitchcock, 1963), then this is either a bad joke, a comedy gone bad or a cinematic travesty.
On the Birdemic website, it says that “Partly inspired by Hitchcock’s The Birds & there is a cameo by Ms. Tippi Hedren (Melanie in The Birds).”
If they bring it to Vancouver I will be there – heading a picket line.
Haha!
I think this movie could be made into a pretty epic drinking game.
Take a sip each time a bird detonates itself or somebody swings a hanger.
Somebody has to see it and report back to the rest of us 😛
It’s showing in DC in two weeks. I’m tempted…
I’m sort of wondering what the in-story reason is for them swinging hangers at the birds, but it would probably make my brain explode like a dive-bombing seagull.
Go see it, satisfy the curiousity! It’ll probably suck epically, but it looks good for a laugh if nothing else!
OH DEAR GOD. I’m watching a clip of it now.
I made the mistake of watching a clip, too. Why would ANYBODY think this was a good idea?!
One casting decision that I found was particularly amusing was an ~125 pound guy that looks like me playing a Marine combat veteran from Iraq. At one point he’s holding his assault rifle one-handed, firing wildly and there’s STILL no recoil.
What sort of masochists would actually watch a whole movie of this drivel?
The politics was probably the worst of it. In the 5 minutes I saw, they pinned the psycho birds on global warming and fossil fuels. And then there was the 125 pound Marine seriously asking “why can’t we give peace a chance?” perhaps 10 seconds before making a bird explode with an assault rifle.
Wow…just…wow. This is probably the wort thing I’ve ever seen. i’d rather go and wach Twilight, whose trailer accually looked decent.
Reminds me of that Alfred Hitchcock movie… o.O
I just showed this to my brother and we were literally rolling around on the ground laughing… I think I actually hurt myself laughing. But that cawing is TERRIBLE, so annoying.
