A huge pile of steaming dreck

Rating: 1/10 (25 February 2001)

I hated this movie, it was a nice idea, but the execution was simply awful. This movie stole all the wrong bits from all the classic B movies from the past, and somehow failed to respect any of them. In addition to it's mangling of fifties B movie cliches, and implausible plot filled with insipid action sequences this movie tried, and failed to hold a light tone through a sequence where the world is nearly destroyed. Millions are slaughtered needlessly and then we're supposed to laugh just a few minutes later, I just couldn't buy any of that. Will Smith is the only bright spot in an otherwise dreadful waste of a hundred million dollars.
