Taika Waititi recommended Badlands (1973) in Movies (curated)

 
Badlands (1973)
Badlands (1973)
1973 | Crime, Drama

"I’m sort of torn on my last film between Badlands and Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore. I’m on the fence — I love both of those films. Badlands, for me, is a very important film because I feel like a lot of the time it’s the kind of film I would love to make, if I could just make one. It’s so small, but really perfect. I think another great example of a film, which is like a second film, that people don’t think about, is Days of Heaven, which is again another flawless film. His use of voice over is the best out of any filmmaker. Linda Manz, her voiceover, nothing can beat it, you know. I always think that if there’s a voiceover in a film, it’s gotta be like that, where it?s not telling you what’s happening, it’s talking about completely different things. It’s incredible."

Average disaster film
Pretty run of the mill disaster action film. Some of the Cgi isn't great. Plenty of better films of this type out there.

Heartwarming story
Another great Spielberg film
A great adventure film as a Boy robot sets out to make himself "real". Great actors, impressive effects and touching story finished off by Spielberg.

Fairly average horror film set deep in the jungle. Just not that scary or suspenseful. Shame missed opportunity for a decent location for a horror film. Quite gory at times, with good effects.

A brilliant little horror film , but I expect no less when it is based on a Stephen King story. A real unique horror film that will mess with your head. Go see it!!

I expect a Sherlock film of any kind to have a better mystery rather than concentrate most of its energy on the drama of the characters lives. (0 more)

A very good if totally OTT action film. A mix of Fast and the furious meets Running Man. Great no-brainer action film to kill 90mins with complete with some seriously modified cars!!

Take it for its own
Good film, and modern version of the original, more light hearted. Can't say if better than original as both different, but good film in own right

Could of done better
For a film with good actors, a good plot and some unique moments this film could have been amazing. Unfortunately the script appeared rushed with no depth to it.

Completely agree, could have been so much better. And following on from A Quiet Place was poor timing.

"I remember seeing this film and wondering when anyone was going to say anything. What a testament to this great film that, with no dialogue for minutes on end, it keeps you riveted."
