Holy god, this is the worst movie ever

Rating: 1/10 (9 September 2005)

I am only commenting because there actually seem to be people who like this movie. Now, since I like a lot of bad things, I normally don't presume to disparage anyone who likes something I don't--that's what makes the world go 'round. However, in this case, I have to wonder if the world has taken leave of its senses.
I don't care about the murky, almost incoherent special effects, the worst, most horrifically disappointing FX since I don't know when. If you liked them, OK.
I don't care about the stupid errors like fire in space, or implausible plot points...whatever, I can enjoy stupid errors and not diminish my movie-going fun.
I will pass on the absolutely inept Ben Affleck. Someone sometime decided this loser could act. Let me ask--has he been in one decent movie since "Good Will Hunting"? And I am NO GWH fan, by the way.
I don't even care about the gloppy fake sentiment at the end, the goopy silly over the top nonsense when the asteroid is imminent and mankind is about to get wiped out.
What gets me is the idiotic dialogue, the absolute unwatchably awful words that every decent actor in the movie is forced to gag out, grimacing. How did people like Steve Buscemi get stuck in this turkey? He was in Con Air--wasn't that loud and stupid and bombastic enough? The hideous editing--is there a shot in the movie lasting more than eight seconds? Seriously. SERIOUSLY. The deafening music. The dreadful, dreary scenic design. Did I mention the unwatchably bad script? You know, Michael Bay, you're the least talented person on this earth, and the luckiest. Studios keep giving you hundreds of millions of dollars to simply flush down the toilet. I think the four year old who paints the masterpieces selling for thousands of dollars in the Midwest could direct a movie better than you.
