The Best Worst Summer Movie

Rating: 1/10 (11 May 2001)

I had the unfortunate opportunity to view this movie on opening night. I did see the original, and let me say...this one was much, much worse. In trying to top the first film, Summers over shoots his goal, landing in an ugly bog of horrible special effects, bad one liners, predictable plot turns, character inconsistency, and continuity errors abound. It had a great start, but after the first 30 minutes were over I just felt, well, queasy. Most of the acting was decent, but some very yuck-yuck moments ruined it.
I recommend this film to anyone who has: a small child, a cell phone, or money to burn.
If Summers had scaled down the "epic" story line, I think he could have had more money to support the special effects. This film relies heavily on them.
