worst film ever!!!

I FELL ASLEEP WATCHIN THIS *beep*

Sounds like he went into the theaterwanting to like it, But since the movie is so horrible he couldn't sit through it and left 30 minutes into it.
Can't really say i blame him. Cause it really does suck

Well yeah, I guess it just means it's the worst film that person has ever seen. It's all a matter of opinion anyway, and opinions aren't worth much if you can't back them up with some kind of argument.

Threads with this title pop up on pretty much every single IMDb board...apparently every movie is the worst movie ever made. This claim is usually made by someone who can't spell and who puts "lol" in their message somwhere for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON.

"My boyfriend hates this movie too- HA HA HA HA OH MY GOD THAT'S SOOO FUNNY I THINK I'M GONNA JUST DIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Sometimes, you just want to walk down the street setting teenagers on fire.

-There is no such word as "alot."

The fact you've never heard of or can't recognize "hyperbole" makes me think maybe you're the ignorant one.

Based on old action/adventure serials from the 30's and 40's... SKY CAPTAIN is far better than ANY of the source material it comes from... (and I've seen and LOVE the old serials)!

People who "hated" SKY CAPTAIN are certainly entitled to their opinions... but they are usually the same people who "hated" 1998's GODZILLA because all the previous GODZILLA movies were somehow "better"... (They weren't!)

As far as the old stuff is concerned...What's to recommend over the NEW stuff?

The horrible looping?
Bad editing?
Amaturish costumes?
Laughable dialogue?

NONSENSE!

For some reason people get all wrapped up in the nostalgia of the old material and actually convince themselves that this "new stuff", is somehow worse and inferior to the original(s)...

Ever watch the old PHANTOM or FLASH GORDON serials in their entirety? How about the BATMAN or SUPERMAN or ROCKETMEN serials? Sure they're entertaining in a quaint, innocent, - - "Hey it's 1935" - - sort of way, but don't tell me that ANY of them are in any way better than SKY CAPTAIN was.

SKY CAPTAIN wasn't the greatest movie... but the WORST FILM EVER?

C'mon!
It's just entertainment.

Hmmm well let's see... I've seen "Superbabies 2", yeah I used to teach kids and somehow they snuck that one in on me when I was substituting or something. "Manos the Hands of Fate" is actually very funny if you watch it with MST-3000 riffing on it. But yeah a very bad movie. "Jail Bait" well that was one of Ed Wood's best movies! Steve Reeves was in that one. "I Accuse My Parents" is hilarious, you don't even need anyone's commentary on that one. "Astro-Zombies" are pretty cool and gory, and Tura Satana's in it so it's not all bad.

Oh wait a minute, I'm just looking down this list for ones I've seen... yes I have seen "Mission to Moscow." There was a time in my life when I literally would watch anything with Christopher Lee in it. Very bad movie, definitely worse than Sky Captain.

"Jaws: The Revenge" wow I saw that one in the theater. Really awful. Poltergeist III should be on here too.

Anyway, Sky Captain will never be on a list like that because it's a cool movie. It's very goofy but I think most people (ahem) can see that it's all in good fun.

Grasshopper:

Seeing only a part of a thing, is not seeing the whole of a thing.

Only when you have SEEN the whole of the worst movie ever, can you KNOW the worst movie ever.

Only then, lowly pupil, will you TRULY know movies.

What the hell.

Sky Captain is a movie for fans of old sci-fi. I think Sky Captain is the movie that Orson Welles would have loved to put together if he had the technology. If you like old action-noir films or if you are a fan of movies like The Hudsucker Proxy, you'll probably get into this no problem.

Listen, the movie is hit or miss. Some people (many people) won't get it. Which is fine! Movies, after all, are entirely user specific. My father's favorite movie is Stargate, a movie I didn't care for, but it doesn't make it any less the greatest film ever to him. I hate that people get defensive when a person calls a movie they love 'boring.' Different people have different attention spans and have interests in different things. It's not a bad thing. Liking or disliking a movie just because your friends or 'significant other' dislikes it is a shame, but that's a flaw with the person, not the culluloid.

The fact is, though, that Sky Captain cannot possibly be the worst film ever. That would take out of account several Land Before Time movies, Disney Sequels, X-Men 3, and Waterworld.

P.S. For the record, I really love this movie.

Johanson I think you are mistaken -- even granting that you have said the film as it stands is not "Noir", I've never seen any kind of documentation that the film was ever conceived as a film noir. If you watch the original one reel film "The World of Tomorrow" that the Conran Brothers did on their own PC, it's clearly a direct homage of serials and has nothing at all in common with film noir. It's true that they did want to shoot the film in black and white but that's hardly the same as film noir. It was always conceived as a serial homage, which is to say it was always supposed to have a "brainless plot, bad sequencing and horrible dialog" because that's pretty much what serials are.

The OP left the film after half an hour so has no idea what the film is all about or what happens..plus I'm guessing (by the sentence structuring and poor grammar and punctuation) that she is also quite young..at least under 16.
Ergo:- she has an extremely limited experience of films and is in no posistion to state that SCatWoT is the worst film ever.

Every film on the IMdb has some arrogant w*anker stating it's the worst film ever because 'It's crap'. Now there's a convincing argument! It's rubbish coz you say it is, apparently. Using that logic i can comeback with 'it's brilliant..because I say it is!'

It's a pointless argument.Anyone who walks out of a film 30 mins in is in no position to make any comment what so ever except "I have the attention span of a goldfish"..which we can all agree is true.

Of course this isn't Noir. It's an attempt to pull off a 30's/40's serial in the tradition of Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers/Tom Corbett Space Cadet. This is a full length version of the stuff I'd see on the Saturday afternoon matinees in the mid 50's on tv, only in color. Love it, it brings back memories...
