http://us.imdb.com/Title?0108153
Nothing says Box Office sensation like a Skateboard who comes to life to save a kid from gangs. Did I mention the voice of the skateboard was Dom Delouise? Sadly they made a sequel which I have not seen. The sequel could be worse, but I still vomit thinking about the orginal. Promote this thread! | | Papercuts!

You have 100 million dollars to make a movie. You have Nicholas Cage, John Malkovich, Ving Rhames, Steve Buscemi, and John Cusack. You have a pretty good concept for an action movie. How badly can you screw it up?
The answer ... Simon Fucking West screwed it up like no other screw up in the history of Hollywood. This no talent director (who was also responsible for the awful Tomb Raider) has no clue how to structure an action movie. It's pretty simple -- rising action leading to a big climax. It's worked for thousands of stories in the past, but it's not good enough for Simon West. He just threw action sequence after action sequence after action sequence onto the screen, without building to anything. I remember one critic called it "action movie pornography ... climax after climax after climax after climax." After an hour and a half of this crap even explosions and shootings and knifings are boring.
Why is Con Air worse than Skateboard Kid? It doesn't sound like Skateboard Kid had a chance of being any good. But this could have been an awesome, terrific movie with a competent director.
Whew, I feel better now.

The worst thing as a movie goer, is to pay premium first run price for a God awful movie. Not only did you waste hours that you will regret losing while on your deathbed, but you just spent 7 to 20 dollars depending on if you treated a date and bought expensive ass popcorn. So thats why this movie is the worst to me.

This is actually symptomatic of every action film Jerry Bruckheimer has EVER produced -- Simon West and Michael Bay are Bruckheimer's two "favorite" directors because they use this technique the most -- since TOP GUN and the main reason I won't see any of his films. And that includes Black Hawk Down.
It could be the world's greastest cast and Kevin Smith could write and direct it, but there's no way I'll see it. | The Big Kat

| #10 Posted on 6.3.02 0957.11 Reposted on: 6.3.09 0959.09 | As you could probably guess from my sig, I have to say that Starship Troopers holds that title. The movie is so bad in so many ways that it absolutely amazes me that it got released. You've got a great plot readymade with the book. You've got a director, Paul Verhoeven, who has made some wonderful movies. You've got one of the best special effects groups in the business to make sure that the effects are great. And, you've got something in the neighborhood of 115 million dollars to make this movie. What do you get from all these positives?
An absolutely unwatchably trite piece of incoherent shit whose effects aren't even that good!
I'll never forget seeing the movie for the first time in some masochistic frenzy and realizing that you can see the effects blue screen in about 12 of the first 20 shots with the bugs. After that, things went downhill. And don't even get me started on the plot holes that you can drive your average solar system through or the casting or the mutilation of the plot or how badly directed it was or ... I'll stop now since I strongly suspect that none of us actually want to read a 29 page paper on the subject of Starship Troopers and why it is a truly abysmal movie.

| #16 Posted on 6.3.02 1231.28 Reposted on: 6.3.09 1232.49 | After weeks of getting begged by my girlfriend, I bit the bullet and treated her to Evolution last spring.
GOOD GAWD what were they thinking? The tickets were $12.50 a piece, then came the $5 popcorn, $3 drink, etc. and by the end of the night I must have been out $40. FOURTY FREAKIN' DOLLARS. If you've seen it - you KNOW what I'm talking about. At least SHE loved it - so I guess that makes one of us.
Like the person above said, it was probably the cost that got me more than anything. I've seen some stinkers - but I doubt I've ever spent anywhere NEAR that amount.
We rented one for $1 last spring that starred John Ritter stuck in a TV that was pretty god awful. Most John Ritter movies fall into that category though.
I'm sure I could name worse - but I'd have to think about it for awhile. | Zeruel

You must have meant "My life as a dog" which was pretty good.
On the subject of bad movies, I will beat anyone up who says that Stalker - The Russian one, in case there are two, is anything but a bad movie.
Yes, I get the whole point of the movie. It wasn't over my head. It wasn't too artsy.
