It is not difficult to realize that in recent years Oscar-winning movies are often not known or have terrible sales at the box office. Further, many films are critically acclaimed, but they are not very popular. Meanwhile, the films with lousy content, hit hard on the back earned hundreds of millions of dollars and formed long-boring brands.
Resident Evil (The Land of Demons)
Rarely has a brand ever caught the attention of the masses while being turned away by fans like Resident Evil. Adapted from the famous game series of the same name by Capcom, Sony ignored all familiar characters like Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield, bringing an unfamiliar name, Alice (Milla Jovovich), to the female lead.
At the same time, the film often contradicts the content that makes viewers disappointed many times. Fortunately, Milla's eye-catching shootings or tearing the blood of the bloody corpses have helped the brand earn more than $ 1.2 billion worldwide.
Underworld (Underworld)
Underworld has the same formula as Resident Evil with the horror genre with a badass female lead. However, it is worse than the content. The series has a lot of potential characters but it cannot be exploited properly. Underworld scripts are quite shallow, tedious and repurposing a motif.
It is no exaggeration to say that Kate Beckinsale is the factor that helped Underworld to release up to 5 films in 13 years. The beauty of the British beauty and a series of violent scenes have earned the brand more than $ 500 million compared to the small budget.
American Pie (American Pie)
The first part of America Pie, released in 1999, was a sex education film about the puberty curiosity. However, the high revenue compared to the budget made the team "overwhelmed victory" and exploited deeply about sexual issues of young Americans. However, the following movies all contain bullshit and do not bring any value. In return, the producer knows how to treat the look when incorporating a lot of nude scenes of beautiful and sexy actresses.
Pirates of the Caribbean (Pirates of the Caribbean)
Despite bringing billions of dollars to Disney, Pirates of the Caribbean has never been critically acclaimed. The criticism often targets the long duration and the intricate content of the film. At the same time, the works do not bring any human meaning or purpose because they originated as an amusement park at Disneyland.
But everyone knows that entertainment is the "money" factor of these pirates. Johnny Depp excelled as Jack Sparrow and became the soul of the whole brand. This crazy acting style has also been with actors for nearly 20 years. However, when something is repeated too much, it will backfire and lead to the failure of Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge (2017).
The Twilight Saga (Twilight)
Despite always being disparaged in terms of content, The Twilight Saga still makes female fans crazy when debuting a new part. Perhaps, the fairy-like love story between women who are often scrambled by handsome vampires and muscular werewolves has struck the psychology of teenage girls. They also rarely have access to a vampire movie without being rated horror or gore like Twilight.
However, men and critics always think the series is cheesy and bullshit. The cast of characters does not have any depth when falling in love after a few looks. The image of vampires and werewolves is far too romantic compared to the conventional notion. The stiff acting of the trio Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner has always been mocked.
Fifty Shades of Gray (50 Shades)
It can be said that Fifty Shades of Gray is the upgraded version of Twilight when it hits female psychology and know how to please men. Just graduated from school has caught the eye of the billionaire and loved passionately, living in velvet all his life must be the dream of many girls. The marginal difficulties only make the story more interesting. Meanwhile, the boys must not care about the content but mostly just watch the hot scene.
In fact, Fifty Shades of Gray is just a sadistic and nude element. In addition, the movie content is completely cliché and does not have any value. The film also has no lines or memorable scenes. The characters of the brand are empty and sexually active. Many fastidious people also pointed out that the series from the novel of E. L. James was extremely anti-educational.
Transformers (Transformers)
Transformers is the clearest evidence for the "beauty beat the dead". The series all have long, complicated, or even irrational scripts. Even more, many contradict with what happened before and create countless loopholes in terms of content. Even hard fans will have a hard time understanding what's going on on screen.
However, Transformers still earned billions of dollars thanks to the characteristic fire element of Michael Bay. The audience does not seem to care what the movie is about, but just a series of "cool" robots rushing to shoot each other. Not only that, the beautiful women in the movie like Megan Fox or Rosie Huntington-Whiteley always appear in the sexiest costumes to burn the eyes of men - the main object of the brand.
