Trent Berchtold is a screenwriter with a degree in Creative Writing from Pepperdine University. Highly passionate about film, he has spent years honing his writing skills so that he may contribute to cinema himself.
Hollywood loves to throw hundreds of millions of dollars at some of the projects that they believe will do well. These are called blockbusters. Blockbusters tend to be either entries in established tent pole franchises such as X-Men or Star Wars, or vehicles for popular celebrities of their time, such as Eddie Murphy or Dwayne Johnson.
✕ Remove Ads Chicken Little has an extremely convoluted plot. For example, the first sequence follows the events of both the folk tale and original cartoon fairly faithfully, but after Chicken's panic is explained away as an acorn, the focus then shifts away to a generic high school drama, and then later randomly, the movie becomes a science fiction thriller.
✕ Remove Ads Bee Movie has no idea what kind of movie it wants to be. For example, the plot begins as a fish out of water comedy with Barry exploring the human world, then a romantic comedy with the introduction of Vanessa, then a legal drama, and then towards the end it becomes a disaster movie for no reason.
✕ Remove Ads The Golden Compass has very little tension. For example, the titular Golden Compass just tells Lyra where to go most of the time, thus taking away any stakes that would have emerged had Lyra been allowed to figure this out for herself. This also leads to a less thoughtful experience for the audience as well by having everything spelled out for them as it is for Lyra. In addition, the ending is very abrupt.
✕ Remove Ads Pearl Harbor is blatantly historically inaccurate to a detrimental extent. For example, there is a scene in which President Franklin D. Roosevelt, played by Jon Voight of Midnight Cowboy fame, gets up from his wheelchair out of sheer determination, which he would not have physically been able to do so during that time.
