Only three more days til the Worst Film Ever Made Opens!!!!!

[Lib E]

Why is it the worst movie ever made?

Probably because Miller's previous movies were so bad. I'll never waste another penny of my movie money on his junk.

I thought this was going to be for Valkyrie!

I am looking forward to seeing Valkyrie. DS#3 just finished reading the book, "The Men Who Tried to Kill Hitler". He left it home and I might read it. He said it was a very exciting book, and it was true. Valkyrie may indeed be a good movie.

ug - Definitely NOT my type of movie. The commercials on TV for it have proved that.

No, they already made Dungeons and Dragons. If a movie gets worse than that (finally saw a quote by Jeremy Irons confirming what I thought...he only did it for the paycheck) I think the world might stop rotating.

I have a degree in History and focus on WWII. I can't get past Cruise playing Von Stauffenberg. About a foot difference in height (Cruise the shorter one) as well as from the trailers it looks like Cruise has both hands when Von Staufenberg lost his right hand and 2 fingers on his left at the same time he lost his left eye! If they can't get that correct (which admittedly doesn't really affect a movie), then I get concerned about how the rest of it is treated.

If I watch this, I'll probably spend too much time picking out other inconsistencies with uniforms/equipment/etc... anyway!

Cruise mentioned when he was on Letterman last week that he does at least lose the aforementioned fingers.

And as to the height thing,... I absolutely adore Walk the Line, particularly Joaquin Phoenix's deft portrayal of the great Johnny Cash. But the fact is, Cash was quite tall and lanky, whereas Phoenix is of more average height and a bit stockier than was Cash. And it had absolutely no bearing on my enjoyment of the movie whatever.

(See? I told you I was a Tom Cruise apologist.)

Why doesn't TC speak with an accent? It's like Costner in Robin Hood!

Probably because he simply can't. To his (and director Bryan Singer's) credit, unlike Costner, he's not even trying.

But, really, I love (for instance) HBO's Rome, and I don't think too many ancient Romans spoke with British accents.

Why doesn't TC speak with an accent? It's like Costner in Robin Hood!

No...Costner TRIED to get an accent for RH, and failed miserably. So if Cruise doesn't try at all, that's much much better than what Costner did.

Man, are there ANY better roles for Sam Jackson or has he just given up?

He never turns down a role. Christopher Walken does the same thing.

I'm pretty sure Twilight and HSM3 already came out!

 

[Free4Life11]

I think it looks awful. Just like "Sin City" which I hated and was one of the few movies I left early.

 

[Sosai X]

You are all wrong. This is the worst movie ever made:

And yes, they are making part 3.

 

[Laugh O. Grams]

Really enjoyed Sin City and 300 wasn't bad...and I'm definitely gonna check this flick out. As far as I'm concerned, anything with Eva Mendez is worth watching...

 

[jenny105]

What's with the hating on Sin City? There are PLENTY worse movies than that. I thought visually that movie was stunning.

 

[Golf4food]

I thought perhaps "Manos: Hands of Fate" was being re-released. I'd pay money to see Torgo on the big screen...

Darn. Beat me to it.

 

[Maecenus]

I'm pretty sure Twilight and HSM3 already came out!

Ah, yes. Forgot about those.

Sin City's not too bad a movie, really. Aside from casting that talentless lunkhead, Josh Hartnett, and that beautiful, equally talentless airhead, Jessica Alba (as a stripper who doesn't actually, you know, strip), it's actually pretty good. Especially good is Mickey Rourke as Marv. He made the movie (and I can hardly wait to see The Wrestler).

 

[Jennasis]

The Happening still tops my list, just slightly better than say "the Thin Red Line".

 

[CaliforniaDreamin]

Great sig pic! I love Rush!

 

[Cogswel_Cogs]

It doesn't look that bad, but are there any comic book heroes left to make into a movie.
What left Rocket Racoon?

How dare you talk about my Jessica like that!
