worse than the worst

Rating: 1/10 (29 April 2007)

Besides the amazing computer graphics, this movie is one of my all-time anti-favorites. In fact, it is so bad that after a while it became enjoyable simply to poke fun at it. Now, I have always wondered about movies that are this bad because, as in this case, it took a lot of creativity to get it to be so. For example, at every opportunity for a time worn cliché (and there were plenty) the best groaner was always picked. Not the second best, not just an ordinary groaner, but the very best one. Now that takes a deep knowledge of bad lines, a good memory to save them all, and a flawless retrieval system to have one ready for nearly every line spoken. The writers were so good at being bad, that the film seemed like a well-engineered spoof. Though improbable, it still has me wondering.
