One of the worst films of all time . . .
A colossal mess . Badly acted , poorly written , sorely misdirected . The " 3 Ninjas " series never needed a sequel , much less the uncountable number it has spawned . The infamous 3 Ninjas go to a theme park in this sequel and use Hulk Hogan to fight off a bunch of terrorists ( ? ) . Miserable , putrid stuff . The act...

Jaws : The Personal Vendetta !
There is no explanation for " Jaws : The Revenge . " It is just there . You either accept it as it is , or come to love it . I prefer to deny its entire existence , if that is at all possible . If the people who made the film had half the smarts they should have had , not only would they have ended this series three se...

Ten reasons to see JAWS 3 -
1 . It has a huge rubber shark in it 2 . It has Dennis Quaid in it - and he gets eaten by the shark 3 . Dennis Quaid does not actually get eaten by the shark , but it would be fun if he was eaten by it as it would seriously shorten the length of the movie 4 . Arnold Schwarzenegger's " hilarious " cameo as Bruno the Kil...

Copy off of stripes set in a Police Academy , but is it funny ?
Yes , while the film is an exact copy off of the 1981 film ' Stripes ' with Bill Murray , Ivan Reitman and John Candy , just nowhere near as good , it has some funny moments . Aside of Guttenberg's horrible acting rip-off of Murray's character from Stripes , Police Academy has some funny moments , but after the sequel ...

The Worst Film of 2002 ? Maybe . . .
I think we can all agree unanimously that teen films are getting worse and worse every year . John Hughes ' teen flicks from the 1980s were very special , because they showed " real " teens in " real " situations , and not the stereotypical figures present in all teen films these days . " Not Another Teen Movie " may n...

Not the Worst Ever , BUT . . .
Definitely one of the worst films of 1998 , if not THE worst , " The Godson " lacks one fundamental element of comedy : Humor . The cast , including Rodney Dangerfield , Dom DeLuise ( who spoofs Don Corleone ) , and Kevin " Kids in the Hall " McDonald , would make you think this film a riot . However , it is quite the ...

Baby Geniuses catches a rare glimpse of Christopher Lloyd in a bad acting rut . I never would think it possible after watching " Back to the Future " or " Taxi , " but ' tis true . " Baby Geniuses " is one to miss . If you liked this movie , you'll lo-o-ove " Kazaam " ! stars - John Ulmer

Good , but not the best ever .
I'm not exactly sure how this got number 1 on the top 250 on IMDB , I liked it but I wouldn't say it's the best movie ever . It was a good remake of the books , even if they did leave out Tom Bombadil and the whole forest chapter . That always happens when they bring movies to the big screen . But Peter Jackson did a g...

Meet the Gazillionth Rip-off of " Bill and Ted " . . .
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure had a certain charm to it . A wit if you will . It chronicled the lives of deep , yet shallow-acting characters .

This show is literally depressing to watch . I've seen two or three episodes now , and wish I hadn't . After they were over , I was disgusted .

I watched this on TV because the digital cable guide listed it as a film " starring Mickey Rourke .

Simply awful . Stunning . A man in a gorilla suit makes friends with a troublemaking teen who learns to love the gorilla and tries to free it .

I Didn't Laugh a Single Time . . .
Beverly Hills Ninja could have had good potential . It could have been " Crocodile Dundee " with a ninja . Unfortunately , thanks to the casting of Chris Farley , an awful script , and an untalented director , this film wallows in the laugh-free zone . Farley plays a ninja from Japan who comes to Beverly Hills lookin...

Whodunit Twists-and-Turns Not Enough to Salvage a Weak Film . . .
Well , seeing that I'm in a picking-on-Christopher-Reeve mood right now , just coughing up a negative review on " Somewhere in Time , " I'll pick apart " Deathtrap " right now . Let me just note here that I saw this movie many years ago , and all I can remember is that I disliked it . Therefore , I may be a bit rusty o...

Truly Awful . . . I Had a Hard Time Watching it . . .
The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas is one of the poorest excuses for a family film I've seen in a long time . The original remake with John Goodman was at least decent , but this flop has not only an awful cast , but awful dialogue , filming techniques , jokes . . . it's straight out of a made-for-TV sequel . Only on...

Clever comment on Reaganism set in a galaxy of post-transformational liberalism .
Just kidding , I don't know what I'm talking about . You should see this movie if you like : 1 ) Sex 2 ) Nudity 3 ) Hot babes 4 ) Mickey Rourke 5 ) Carre Otis 6 ) Mickey Rourke and Carre Otis going at it for real 7 ) Perfume commercials 8 ) Directors trying to make their softcore porn look like art by filming everythin...

Not totally horrible ( I've seen much worse ) but still rather poor for a number of reasons
Envy is bad for a number of reasons . Yes , there are unlikeable characters . That's not the problem . It is that they are unlikeable and we do not care for them at all . " The War of the Roses " featured unlikeable characters but due to proper introductions we grew to at least find ourselves interested in their fate...

A terrible film
D3 : The Mighty Ducks boasts Emilio Estevez's name all over the ads and credits - and I still remember when it came out how they even featured his name on TV commercials . But he's only in the film for perhaps five minutes . He agreed to make a cameo if Disney would fund his post-Vietnam film , " The War At Home , " ...

I've never been a huge fan of the original Alfred Hitchcock classic " The Birds , " but it was well-made annd compared to this looks totally flawless . " The Birds II : Land's End " has to be one of the most shoddily produced nightmare projects of all-time - - it's a gruesome , chilling ( but in a bad way ) made-for-TV...

This film is terrible . It's a continuation of the " Friday the 13th " series , which was supposed to have ended the year prior with the so-called " Final Chapter .

One of the worst films ever made
I distinctly recall sitting down to watch " Carpool " at home ten years ago and being appalled within the first ten minutes by the film's insulting intelligence level . It stars David Paymer as an average Joe who transports a bunch of whiny kids back and forth in a daily carpool . However , one morning he picks up a st...

If a motion picture " comedy " about a boy with two stomachs whose flatulence only matches his immense weight sounds appealing to you , then by all means you will adore " Thunderpants .

Intolerable Cruelty is a surprisingly aptly named film that offers nothing but multiple glances at one's watch and some restless shifting . It may not be cruel , but it's pretty damn intolerable .
So I sit there for the first half hour , waiting for it to get better , until the film starts to gradually become even worse . Is this possible ? I wonder to myself . Have the Coen Brothers - - Ethan and Joel - - made yet another bad movie ? To say that they haven't made a good movie since " Fargo " may not be true in ...

He gave a remarkable performance in Barry Levinson's " Diner " - then he resorted to kiddie trash like these films . If you liked the first , you'll probably like this . It's more of the same - th...

Thir13en Ghosts has to be one of the worst films of the decade thus far and is certainly one of the most unbearable .

Some of the hatred for this film has been exaggerated .

But some of the hatred goe...

One word describes Little Nicky : sophomoric .

Worst of all , however , is the totally inept direction ? had the film been delivered to better talent , it co...
