The 6 Worst Product Placements in Hollywood Movies

When Wayne’s world Ranged with its hilarious usurpation of product placement in films, it was almost prophetic. Today, it is difficult to look beyond some of the spot of revolutionary products in major films, and there is apparently no end in sight.

I understand – the movements cost a lot of money. However, is it worth compromising the viewing experience to win a few dollars? There are many ways to make the placement of products well, but these films are the perfect examples of how to do it very, very bad.

Alien Alien – Gopro

I really like Aliance extraterrestrial. It could be my favorite film overall Stranger Mythos, but few things brought me out of a film like seeing people in the 22nd century walk with GoPro cameras attached to their backpacks.

Yes, in the real world, it is the result of a collaboration with Gopro, however, which does nothing to help my feeling of immersion. They have combinations of magic space and antigravity holograms of things that fly everywhere, but for any reason, they need GoPro hero cameras? It would have been much better if I just didn’t know what a GoPro looked like, and I’m sure many people watching it had the chance to have never seen it before. For the rest of us, this is exactly the kind of thing to delete digitally in the special edition release of a film.

Valerian – Lix

I like to read the so-called “hard” science fiction by authors like Peter F. Hamilton, who often presents brands that we know today (for example, Rolls-Royce or Mercedes) to make vehicles and other technologies in the future. Thus, in principle, the fact that a lexus spaceship appears in Valerian It is not necessarily a bad thing. The problem is how it is presented. Look at that.

It is not even so pleasant to watch, but it is a literal “L” for a film that is otherwise covered with a distant foreigner.

Iron Man – Audi

For one of the richest guys in the whole cinematic universe Marvel, and someone who has a very exotic collection of cars, Tony Stark certainly loves his Audis. It is not only the various Audis that he drives in the Iron The films and the rest of the MCU, when I watched the first film (which I love), I was struck how much I saw these five circles occur in the film. At one point, Iron Man even saves a driving family in an Audi family car.

I really started to feel in the fact of seeing Audis every time Stark arose, even Batman of Nolan had the good sense to drive a lambo from time to time, so why does Stark let his hot rods rot in the basement? Due to real transactions that sell more audis, which is why.

Steel man – So. A lot. Marks.

Not so long ago, I wanted to watch Zack Snyder Steel man, As you do. The film still holds, despite a bizarre dad situation, but looking at it, I had to wonder if there was still so much product placement in this film?

I understand that Superman lives in America, and you expect to see shopping centers and display panels. However, the way things are framed is so blatant. Kal-El crashes through an IHOP and fights one of Zod’s generals in front of a Sears. Each round, there seems to be a kind of brand in the frame, which is Really Distracting.

Mac and me

There is a product placement, and there is a film that is literally only a length of announcement. Mac and me is a notoriously poor AND The scam that gave us this infamous scene.

I saw this film described as “Macdonald’s Propaganda” and a blatant way of enjoying feelings towards a much better film that did wonders for the pieces of Reece, but which did not have a whole dance sequence in a candy store.

Transformers: Age of Extinction – Bud Light (and more)

Maybe I set my too high standards by complaining about the placement of products in a Bayformers film based on a series designed specifically to sell plastic toys to stupid children (me), but I trace the line to seriously believe that Mark Wahlberg drinks Bud Light.

We are also entitled to Stanley Tucci to create a DRE beat speaking from the thin air, and at one point, a transformer breaks in an Oreo stand. I know that the explosions are expensive, but there are limits, Michael.

I like my product placement to be correctly diagnose, or self -aware of it as Wayne did. Everything else feels cheap.
