not QUITE as bad as Independence Day

Rating: 1/10 (27 February 2006)

But otherwise a top contender for worst movies of all time. Unlike many of you, I don't allow low-budget movies in the running. The 'worst movies of all time' contenders must be major motion-pictures, notable cast, notable director, etc. In other words, they need to have EVERYTHING going for them, and still be stupifying bleak nauseating depressing incredible failures. For a total failure of this magnitude everyone has to fail, as opposed to just bad acting/directing/marketing, etc.
And 'Independence Day' tops that list.
And 'War of the Worlds' is a close second.
My (personal) special criteria: If you are Hoping throughout the film that the lead characters will only somehow be killed by the enemy, monster, what have you.
1 star out of a possible 1000
(steps quietly down from podium).
