The slasher film took advantage of the copyright for AA Milne's classic tale expiring, and reimagined the characters of the Hundred Acre Wood as vicious serial killers.

Sylvester Stallone's Expend4bles also picked up two awards.

Announced the day before the Oscars reward Hollywood's finest, the Razzies name and shame the year's worst films.

The organisers describe their awards as the "ugly cousin to the Oscars".

When it was released last year, the Pooh film received a string of downright awful reviews.

Wait, there was a new expendables movie? I didn't even hear about it. Must've flopped hard.

I'm starting to think that putting the 4 in the middle of a word in a movie name is a bad sign.

Is that a Spanish Thomas the tank engine movie?

Legacy and Uprising were so good, that momentum deserved to continue instead of whimpering and dying.

TBF that's just the production name, the actual name of the movie is Tron: Ares.

The bigger question is why the hell does anyone still think Jared Leto is a bankable lead?

A 7 is usually fine though.

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 2 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I thought about it a bit more and as long as the number isn't thr number in a series it isn't a warning.

Se7en, M3GAN, and some others are good movies!

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

I always read that as “Seh-zen”

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It works when the number isn't the number of the movie in a series.

"M3GAN" and "Se7en" are just stylistic choices and don't tell you that it's the third or seventh movie in a series, because they're not.

What doesn't work is when you're trying to use the number as a second part of the pronounced name, like Fant4stic as "Fantastic Four" or Expend4bles as "Expendables Four."

Its pronounced "expend four bles"

SimONE. Very underrated,imho

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

lol! I was thinking the exact same thing!

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

This made 5 million off a 100k budget, according to whatever the fuck I was watching or reading last night. It may have also been the radio. Regardless, there will be a sequel.

Where's The Marvels, Wish, The Flash, and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania? Sad.
