Dubious distinction

Rating: Null/10 (21 June 2002)

Forget about "Ishtar," "Heaven's Gate," "Water World" and the Spice Girls' flick. This is, quite simply, the worst movie ever made. Bad writing, bad acting, laughable plot, dime store special effects -- you name it. Yeah, it's fun to see all the landmarks get vaporized (though less so since Sept. 11), but the carnage is over by about the 40-minute mark. AND THERE'S STILL NEARLY TWO HOURS OF THE MOVIE LEFT AFTER THAT! Ugh. Save your time. Save your money. Read a good book instead.
