I love when someone calls something the 'worst movie ever made'...

Hell, or even the "worst football movie ever made". Now, their are a bunch of smug A-holes out there who will insist that if you don't label this movie as the "worst ever", it's either because you are a "moron" or have " bad taste". Those are both on this board. While this movie is deserving of no awards, I can guarantee you that there are 30 movies on Redbox right now that nobody ever heard of that are worse than this(For some reason, Redbox carries a bunch of crap along with the new releases, usually ripoffs of real movies.). Hell, SciFi puts out a shark movie every 6 months or so that's worse than this movie, but people always have to chime in with "worst ever". If we could take the subjective part out and develop an actual metric that could truly rate movies accurately for everybody, I would bet that there are a million out there made just since this movie came out that are worse than this one.

Hell, from a pure entertainment perspective, I could watch this one right now, and I just tried(and failed) to sit through the uninspired mess that was Ender's Game twice. The second time, I think I made it halfway through.

I may be a little biased on this movie because I love his car. We had that same exact Falcon Sprint when I was in high school, and that car kicked ass...

I agree with the other poster though, Uma Thurman really needs to stop showing off her freaking feet. She can show off everything else though.

Whenever someone starts a thread with "Worst (insert whatever here) Ever"
I automatically label it a troll thread.

That said, this film really does suck.
But you're right... there are far worse films.

I joined the Navy to see the world, only to discover the world is 2/3 water!

I tend to agree with that. Anyone labeling anything "the worst ever" in relation to a movie generally reflects their own prejudices toward particular actors or actresses rather than based wholly on the movie itself.

I also agree completely about your Redbox statement. Lots of absolute garbage on/in there which makes Johnny Be Good worthy of Academy Award nominations.
