Iro's Worst Movies Ever
→ in Movie Reviews
Exactly. It was like watching Citizen Kane and not thinking it was the greatest movie ever made - a sort of vague disappointment. To me, Plan 9 fell just shy of any sort of brilliance, genuine or otherwise.

I didn't count films that I saw on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Hey, people from Quebec are people too.
We all have Plan 9 in our collections...
A properly awful film without any redeeming features, IMO. In fact, that should be the tagline: "So bad, even honeykid thinks so."

Look, I think it's bad, but for someone with a sense of humor, it's easy enough to watch, especially with others. Ed Wood should make that clear.

You mean "So bad I hate it more than most all the other thousands of movies I hate"?

Most of these films I have never seen and from this thread will probably choose to never see, but to have any Harry Potter film especially imo the best of the bunch in The Half Blood Prince on there that is a shame. Also Twilight, but I can sorta understand that if u have the mind set that it is only for screaming teenagers like myself.

OK. Then substitute "dislike" for "hate" in my post.

Second Chance Challenge #1: From Dusk Till Dawn
Suggested by: n3wt
Then: Oh yeah, another divisive choice. Rodriguez's film never quite works either during its very Tarantinoesque first half or its vampiric second half. The CGI isn't that good, most of the acting's pretty weak (with a couple of key exceptions like Keitel or even Clooney), the action's never truly exciting and the script is way below Tarantino's usual standard for the most part.
Now: Well, I haven't changed my mind much. Since it's essentially a glorified B-movie, there's a part of me that is hesitant to fault the film, but it's still below-par in just about every respect. Where to begin, though? I could always go with the acting first up - I still maintain that Keitel is a highlight, though Clooney's against-type performance is missing a lot of his usual charisma and suffers for it. The poor performances outweigh the ones that are anywhere near decent (e.g. Tom Savini). Then again, they are spouting some of Tarantino's worst dialogue, which feels like an empty going-through-the-motions imitation of the genres that inspired the film. The effects work isn't even entertainingly bad, featuring action and violence that is by and large unremarkable. In spite of the film's multiple flaws, I would probably knock it down the list a few places, so in a sense it is entertaining, but overall it's still bad enough to stay on the list.

I think the action sequences in the middle are awfully cool, but man, that ending...there's a fine line between interesting craziness and inexplicable, stupid craziness, and I felt it veered off into the latter. It's so easy for an otherwise good comic book movie to cross that line that makes it suddenly seem goofy, and Hulk went flying past that line.

I was younger when I saw it, and I haven't seen it since, but I remember being moved by it in a way that no superhero film has moved me again. I think it was because of the god-like nature of Nolte's character. Especially the way he flew about the clouds and the silhouette of the hulk suspended for a moment in the lightening. There was something powerful about that image for me. Is Wagnerian is right word?
