Worse than I had even imagined.

Rating: 1/10 (1 March 2007)

Wow. I expected bad things from this movie, I really did. I thought I was prepared, I was also very wrong.
This movie was wildly bad. This movie would earn a razzie from Uwe Boll.
Where to start?
God the writing, so awful. I mean Saturday morning cartoons, in the eighties, starring Mr T, a gymnastics team that fights crime, or a Teenager that turns into a Camaro would still reject this script.
There were so many hilariously awful lines. "I will take this power and control it, and every time innocent blood is spilled I will be there. I will use it to destroy you" or "You sold your soul for the right reason Jhonny. You sold it for love. And that makes you powerful." or my favorite "Lady, before you came along we were ridin' the gravy train with biscuits for wheels."
Uggggh. And that brings the second problem. These lines are delivered by Nic Cage straight faced as if hes reading them from a cue card, or possibly reading some sort of hooked on phonics lesson. He has always been wooden, but this is petrification.
Also, we get it, you love Elvis. However that being said squinting like you've been hungover for days and are looking directly into halogen lights and talking like him as you spew out lines is not something to base a career on. Its not even a good Elvis impersonation. Its more like your drunk uncle, doing a very awkward one for the very first time.
I could go on for awhile but I honestly think everyone should watch it and experience it for themselves.
