I just watched XXX-State of the Union

[Zakk]

...and dammit I want my money, time and sensibilities back. 

My God, that was the worst piece of crap I have ever seen.  EVEN THE DIRECTOR SAYS IT IS CRAP!!!  There is an added feature section on the DVD and the guy says something like "Once you take Vin Diesel out, you have 30% of a movie"

Well here's a clue for ya guy "THEN DON'T MAKE IT!!!"

Sorry, but I had to vent.  If you were thinking of renting this, DON'T.  Go watch some paint try or grass grow.  You'll thank me in the morning.

[pointdablame]

You could not be anymore right.

Watching that movie didnt' cost me a dime, but I am still horrified at losing that 90mins of my life.

[Sephroth57]

man, u guys deserve it for thinking that it would be any good in the first place =p

[Goz]

Any time you see a movie or TV show with Ice T, Ice Cube, or Vanilla Ice you should know it's gunna blow... Ok well the "Friday" movies made me laugh.

man, u guys deserve it for thinking that it would be any good in the first place =p

Agreed.

[Harry Potter]

You have my condolences. No one should watch that crap.

[missioncontrol]

missioncontrol points finger and laughs........


ha ha ha ha 
 
I can't believe you thought it might be good.............

[Zakk]

I can't say I thought it would be GOOD (I mean, it was in theaters for what, 2 days?), but I didn't think it would be THAT BAD.

[missioncontrol]

don't feel too bad about it.........

it's like a train wreck.......

you know you shouldn't watch but you can't help it.........
 

kinda like the Dukes movie coming out.......

We know it's going to be horrible but yet are still drawn towards it........... 

[Zakk]

Last movie this bad was battlefield earth.  I wanted to stop watching, but I just HAD to see if the movie got any worse.  It did.  Oh and honorable mention goes out to Highlander 2.  These would have to be in my top 10 WORST MOVIES EVER.

I would agree with this statement if it wasn't for Ice T.  He does a damn good job IMHO on SVU.

[missioncontrol]

The movie Trespass was pretty good..........

[DarkKobold]

I'd have to say I felt this way about Martin Lawrence's Black Knight. That movie was the biggest pile of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- to ever grace the silver screen.

At the end, to spoil it for you, Martin's teacher and girlfriend both get killed. The teacher takes an arrow to the heart, and his girlfriend, I don't know, I forget.

Anyway, after that, he gets the RAGE to kill off the evil bad guy, like every other movie. When evil bad guy goes down, the two come back to life. No explination. The dude with the arrow in his heart just stands up like everything is cool. It was so retarded, I laughed for an hour afterwards.

[Nannuu]

I've not yet seen xXx 2 since I can't get myself to watch it.  But I have seen the craptacular Battlefield Earth and I agree it is easily in my top 5 all time worst.

I think the new Stealth may squeeze into the top 5 as well.  But I don't plan on watching it to give it a chance 

[shmokes]

I have seen a lot of bad movies, many of which I never should have finished.  I have only actually walked-out on two:  Mr. Holland's Opus and, much more recently, Closer.   I had the sense to stay away from Battlefield Earth or that might be on the list two.

All this said, was the first XXX any better?

[Scott84]

XXX 2 was to me.... so obviously bad. I mean... for one... its a sequel to a vin diesel movie.

Vin Diesel is a terrible actor. all his movies stink. I mean... Fast and Furious was a terrible movie. TERRIBLE. (The cars were nice, but i can see better cars at car shows). XXX was worse then F&F......


The Pacifier (partially filmed at my work) was also  TERRIBLE.

VIN DIESEL = TERRIBLE.

[shmokes]

His voicework for the videogame Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay was top-notch.  The game was fantastic too.  I highly recommend it.

Also, check out the movie Pitch Black.  It is the lesser-known prequel to Chronicles of Riddick and was a pretty good flick.  I think it's the movie that made him famous.

I liked it, but I also liked Battlefield Earth, so proceed with caution.

[shmokes]

Battlefield Earth on Rotten Tomatoes:

Reviews Counted: 99
Fresh: 4
Rotten: 95


LMAO....4%.  That might be the worst rating I've seen so far.

XXX fairs quite a bit better with a 45% rating:

Reviews Counted: 164
Fresh: 74
Rotten: 90

i also unfortunately saw the movie.  but here is my reasoning.... it was either go and watch the movie for free, or stay at work for those 2 hours working.  I made the wrong choice. 

Pitch Black is a great movie.  One of the best Sci-fi movies in the last decade I would say.  And no matter how much I dislike Diesel nowadays - he will ALWAYS have a warm spot in my heart for being the Iron Giant.  ::sob::

[shmokes]

The Iron Giant is a masterpiece.  In Disney's hands (for distribution) it would've been a worldwide blockbuster.  I hate Fox for dropping the marketing ball on that film.  That studio deserved to make a lot of money.

[Luxury]

FYI - it was Warner Brothers fault.  Not Fox

[Sephroth57]

iron giant FTW!!

and pitch black ruled too, chronicles was also good

[Zakk]

For as bad as XXX was, Kung Fu Hustle was as good!
