Worst movie ever

I remember finishing Destroy All Humans! and unlocking the little feature that went with it... Teenagers From Outer Space.
And watching that thing... I just couldn't do it with no MST3K wisecracks. I just sat there, and I wanted to get away from it, and come back when I had done something more interesting, like pop zits or watch grass grow, but there were no pause or rewind buttons to that thing, and if I quit to the game menu, I'd have to start from scratch. Gack.
Finally, I gave up two thirds of the way in. Haven't gone back. Don't plan on it.
And if this is the payoff for finishing the game... I don't wanna THINK about what they'd do to you for sucking at it. *shudder*

The Others. My god, i wasted two hours watching that rubbish. I only watched the other night, and nobody told me the ending, but i managed to work it out within at least 15 minutes. That and the fact it was set in Jersey (i'm a Guernsey boy, and we have much better legends than that)
Also Napoleon (sp?) Dynamite is just not funny, and smae with every other "____ Movie" barring the Scary Movie 1+2

It was 1978...do you know how bloody difficult even making those was in that time? Fight Scene Choreography wasn't even heard of.Bhaalspawn said:
I really couldn't agree more. I really liked the first one, never watched the second one, and my friend (?) came with this movie and said that the second one was worse than the third one, so we should be ok. I don't think i've ever seen a movie worse than that oneNickson said:
Well, given that you've no latex or bendable materials, you're shooting in a desert on a very small budget, Dave Prowse is just about to have severe back problems, all of the lightsaber had to be manually drawn onto the film (no computer editing), I'd still say it was a remarkable film.Bhaalspawn said:
The basic story was great, not brilliant, NO over-advertising and it was realistically the first EVER summer blockbuster.
BUT...let me touch on the nostalgia element.
I don't think it's the best film ever made; though I'd be tempted to say it's one of the few trilogies that actually kept it's place.(Alien 3 was a god awful movie, Highlander 2 screwed things up)
But you imagine all of the films that came after, without the original success of Star Wars? It was the trilogy that gave Hollywood a complete understanding of marketing.
Sure Chewie looks like a walking carpet, the cantina is far too dark, Luke fumbles his way through, Stormtroopers hit their head on the doors.
The wave of anti-nostalgia prevalent at the moment bugs me at times. Look at The Italian Job, Casablanca, The Great Escape...sure, they have plot holes you could drive three mini's through, sure the acting is a bit ropey, sure the effects look like they've been phoned in, but can you still see people raving over Dark Knight, Quantum of Solace or Ghost Town in 30 years?
Saying Star Wars had NO redeeming features is a little off. It wasn't a ZOMG TIS TEH BEST FLIM EVAH!, but it is a really good film that spawned thousands of others.
And if you say millions of films that were better...Try naming a hundred.
95% on the Rotten Tomatoes all time score.

And that's not much of a criticism.Stanley Kauffman said:
I agree that there is a wistful look to Star Wars, and watching the Prequels first will damage the viewing (because the prequels screw up some of the basic logic in the first films), but saying it's rubbish? Nah.
