Question What makes a movie good?
Reply

I think that what makes a movie good is if someone has a gun (and uses it), doesnt matter what type and at least 1 person gets killed (or shot then dies, see time machine)..

A good movie needs drama, comedy, romance, and action. LOTR is a good example.

Media would have been better...

There are many different ways a movie can be good, overall just how entertaining it was.

A good movie needs to make sense first of all. It needs to be filled with ideas and facts that most everyday people can relate to, and It either needs to put in a riddle to make you infer about something and keep you guessing, or it needs to just be filled with action and have no sort of plot.

I think fast cars, drugs, and hot girls make a good movie, oh and good acting.

A movie needs to understand it's place in order to be good. Movies like "Freddy vs Jason" can get away with gratuitous plot holes because they're campy. Nobody goes to "Freddy vs Jason" expecting a riveting plot.

Movies like "Underworld" however sell themselves as being serious and should be taken seriously. So, when a movie like that has cruise liner sized plot holes, it kills the entire experience.

This is just one example, however. If you're gonna be campy, be campy. But if you're going to be serious, then for the love of God don't glaze over things like "plot" and "character interaction."

For me, it is usually pretty good if it is directed well, has some action, but still I like plot, drama, it is creative, and if it really is a specticle (ala Gladiator).

FvJ is a good movie, and that's because it understands it's place. Everyone involved knew that slasher movies are complete camp, and to try and make one serious is idiocy. Anyone that went to see FvJ either loved it, because they wanted to see a campy horror movie, or they hated it because they can't stand campy movies in the first place.

Underworld, on the other hand, was touted as a fairly serious movie. There weren't any one-liners or appluase-seeking death scenes, and the story was attempting to be serious. However, the character interactions and plot itself had so many holes and rips in them that it was completely unwatchable. They tried to make a serious movie, but cut a lot of corners while doing so, and that's what constitutes a bad movie.

Just so long as moviemakers understand what kind of movie they're making, they'll have a better chance of succeeding. The people responsible for Underworld tried to make a serious movie, but said "eh, it's an action/horror, so we can get away with giant plot holes and shitty character interaction." They were miserably wrong.

Good acting, mainly. I sort of liked Fast and the Furious (1, not 2). I liked it simply because of all the cool cars and shit but then they had Paul Walker trying to act. Not a very good combination.
