Battlefield Earth

Pros: A few decent special effects
Cons: Weak plot, Poor character development, Poorly conceived visuals

Pros: It's less than 2 hours
Cons: terrible acting, some very weak story-writing, a little too unrealistic, frustratingly bad editing and cuts

It took me 8 years to finally see Battlefield Earth, thinking to myself after I had seen the previews that this wasn't going to be a film I would or could enjoy.  It racked up some awards denoting that it was the worst film of the year when ...

Pros: Some good special effects
Cons: Completely misses the point of Hubbard's classic

I'm not sure why I felt the compulsion to review that already has 182 epinions. I was quite relieved that only 15% of the community recommended this loser. I'm writing to add one more nail to this movie's coffin.

I read a lot of science...

Pros: It gave millions of movie fans something to laugh at.
Cons: You name it - It's awful.

OK, we all know how historically bad this movie is reputed to be. And since this stinky little nugget has hit the home-video market, I've noticed a strange contigent of people speaking up; those who feel that this movie is somehow underrated, that the...

Pros: some human machos are hot
Cons: pain this movie causes will never be forgotten

This weekend was all about pain: pain in the back [volleyball injury], pain in the neck [my beloved family] and pain in the butt [The Kill Me Now Write-Off]. kris-kochanski and dantesguide “borrowed” the idea from JennJoy and MattA75 and their You show...

Pros: Lots of stuff to make fun of
Cons: Stupid stupid stupid!

I have heard critic after critic say how Battlefield Earth is one of the worst movies ever, so I finally had to see for myself. My girlfriend and I decided to do our own little Mystery Science Theatre 3000 thing while watching it, which did help to make...

Pros: I'll let you know when I think of something!
Cons: Rotten script, bad acting, cardboard makeup, cheesy costumes, amateur SFX, miserable sound track, and more!

She made me do it; I didn't want to do it, I didn't want to do it. Now I regret that I did it. I have problems even trying to remember seeing such miserable acting as this. Even the old Rocky Lane and Ray Corrigan cowboy serials of my childhood were...

Pros: Nothing
Cons: Everything

Oh, what a disappointing year it was. This was 2000. The turning of a Millennium, something that only a handful of human beings will ever experience. It’s been alluded to in countless books, prophesied in many ancient scriptures, dramatized in an...

Pros: Positive message, no gory violence
Cons: Totally and completely unbelievable

After seeing this movie, I learned something. I finally understood something that has been perplexing me for the six months past. I finally understood the 'repetition' reviewers!! You know who I mean; the people who post a review that says, "This...

Pros: At least I never have to see it again.
Cons: The movie itself.

Oh good lord is this movie bad. Definately one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I sat down and watched the movie one night, and really did not want to watch the whole thing, but forced myself to. As Kelly Preston says "Scientology Rocks!", well...

Pros: John Travolta's celebrity and the controversy
Cons: Ludicrous story, heavy-handed direction, tedious pacing

BACKGROUND AND CONTROVERSY: Since 1975, John Travolta has been an outspoken devotee of Scientology, an "applied religious philosophy" that claims to have millions of followers. Travolta credits its founder, L. Ron Hubbard, for all his...

Pros: It ended.
Cons: It was made.

Disaster darlings! Absolute disaster. Aida on Ice has been shut down permanently. The dress rehearsal had been going swimmingly, other than Olivia Newton-John singing half a tone flat most of Act I, and then we reached the harrowing climax, the...

Pros: Travolta succeeds in making a movie that makes Hubbard look good
Cons: this is only probably good news to John Travolta

Pros: ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Cons: lets see the fact that this film sucks could be one...

I will start off by saying that I am in fact a Travolta fan. Ever since his triumphant Pulp Fiction return, I have followed his action career, most notably the fantastic Face Off(I'm talking action, not plot...woo-hoo as us John Woo fans...

Pros: the movie was made, now someone willing to do it right can remake it
Cons: rushed, vague, fell back on tired motivations and plot devices

It's all very clear if you just look at the title:

B is for Bad. Notice that it's a capital B.

A is for Ambition, of which this film had none. Ambition would have meant trying to follow the book. Ambition would have...
