Worst film ever

Rating: 1/10 (28 December 1999)

After 20 years of moviegoing, I finally found it - the really really bad movie, the worst I ever have seen. The story was good for 45 minutes - not for three extremely boring hours which ironically made the theater collect an additional charge for over-length. And that was what I got: over-length. Much of over-length for a few Deutschmarks, in that sense it was a good deal.
The story of Death coming to Earth as a person bears many possibilities - none of them was used. There are many long scenes with dialogues like "who are you" "I'm Joe Black" "but who are you?" taking five minutes' time. Sometimes even nothing was spoken, and the poor actors had to grimace endlessly to make it through the scenes. You see beautiful people in beautiful locations - but that does not make a movie! With 30 frames per second, you *are* allowed to move!
I never leave a movie after half the time, but this time I almost did, if not for my friends with whom I watched this thing. Finally, we just thought "F*** her, and let us go!". And what the heck were the scenes with the black woman in the wheelchair speaking a strange language (in the German version, it sounded like Dutch) *without subtitles* ??? For ten minutes, I didn't understand a word, and nobody helped!
This was bad. Worse than anything else. Even after bad movies I usually think, ok, I've seen it, I can talk about it. But this time I regret wasting 16 Deutschmarks and three hours.
