kyrat's "Movies ruined by (or made worse by) product placement"

Add to my lists | Print this list

I find more and more these days that I go and spend $10 to see one big ad for a movie (Transformers=GMC) or that a movie I am enjoying suddenly has a scene clearly written in just to hawk a product (Converse in I,Robot) – so I decided to make my own list of these. IMO, some of these movies were already bad and the product placement just made it worse, but some would’ve been ok if they hadn’t been hijacked to become a long commercial I paid to see.

Cast Away isn’t exactly a case of product placement. The filmmakers did not take money from FedEx, but they consciously made the decision to make the protagonist an employee of a well-known, American company for the sake of realism.

Don’t forget Men in Black 2.
Although there as a lot more wrong with that movie than just the product placement.
