Actually I'm dead inside from watching the spirit. Worst. Movie. Ever. I can't believe it's actually worse than battlefield earth.

Stop being melodramatic. Have you never walked out of a movie as soon as you realise it's crap. Clearly you are the type of person that's happy being a victim.

Go and watch The Dark Knight, it'll put things in perspective for you, or one of the original Disney Herbie films if you're still feeling fragile.

Or you could actually ....... Nah!

Actually I'm dead inside from watching the spirit. Worst. Movie. Ever. I can't believe it's actually worse than battlefield earth.

:eek: Even worse than, dunno, Star Wars III?

Well, thanks for the warning. I was half planning to watch it... I think I'll wait till some TV channel airs it.

You just need something to cheer you up. Try watching 'Gigli' on DVD. That'll help. :D

Well to tell you the truth I kept watching to see Eva Mendes' nude scene. It wasn't worth it.

You are the cruelest person I have ever met.

Things could be worse - it could have Keanu Reeves in it.

You went to a movie written by Frank Miller; you deserved everything you got.

His other two films weren't bad.

"Boohoo look at my bitchass complaining boohoo"

If you want to whine about things you could easily have prevented, get a blog. Obviously, if you want to moan about things you have no chance of preventing, get the story from the BBC, put a question at the end, like "isn't famine terrible?", and make a real thread.

His other two films weren't bad.
Sin City was watchable, but 300 and the RoboCop sequels should have more than destroyed any favorable impression anyone could have of Miller's scriptwriting ability.
That, and the man is a right-wing asshole. In some cases, this wouldn't bother me, but it colors his work all over.

FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!!!

Having watched such cinematic gems as "Dracula-the Dirty Old Man", "The Killer Eye", "The Avengers", and "Feast II", I cannot believe this film is that bad. Of course, I'd find it worse, as the Eisner "Spirit" set the bar so high it's never been regained.
My advice? Read the Eisner "Spirit" and pretend that was your movie.

If you kill yourself, you may reincarnate in a parallel earth where Gigli sold more tickets than that movie you really enjoyed. Do you really want to risk that?

Battlefield Earth- that was the one with John Travolta ?

I had a similiar experience with The Master Of Disguise, Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood and Idiocracy ...

Melodramatic is the food for Adrenaline, the energy that struggles within internal desolation of a destination brought to and traveled :-P


I'm just prone to hyperbole now and then don't mind me B-]

they have these life saving people known as movie critics.

if you had consulted any one of these oracles you would have known to avoid this movie in order to save your life.

soooo, i guess i wont be goin 2 c that movie

oh, yeah...i wasnt going 2 neway. would recommend the wrestler though, it may help.

You went to a movie written by Frank Miller; you deserved everything you got.

You make a very valid point, but I wanted to see Eva Mendes' ass, so I regret being a pervert.

oh... that was horrible.

other bad movies I've seen.

Starship (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090068/)-Soo Bad IMDB put up a picture of the musical Group of the same name and it has NOTHING to do with the film and no one's yet complained about it.

They Live (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096256/) I dunno what they paid for the soundtrack... but it was worth the penny.

any movie directed by Stephen King and/or Ewe Boll.

You went to a movie written by Frank Miller; you deserved everything you got.

It could be worse. It could have been written by Miller and directed by Uwe Bole.

a worse movie:

Indiana Jones and the Alien Meta-Mind Psychic who didn't like Soviets

AKA, Indiana Jones and The Millions of Monkeys.

Things could be worse - it could have Keanu Reeves in it.

Yes but then at least you could have waited for the 'whoa' moment.

Yeah, but if you consult more than one - like all who've piped up in this thread - you'll soon realize that all movies and all actors are terrible.

Apparently.

Or if I took all yall's advice I wouldn't have seen many movies I've enjoyed, and I would have seen many movies that I wouldn't.

I'd preferre "Indiana Jones and getting what you wished for."
people wanted a 4th movie...
the main villian wanted to know 'everything'...

Yeah, but if you consult more than one - like all who've piped up in this thread - you'll soon realize that all movies and all actors are terrible.

You're telling me, a lot of the movies that critics hail as masterpieces turn out to excruciatingly dull and pretentious, I get the impression that many of them have never actually red a book before.

Right. If the fat one likes it, it's good. If the skinny one likes it, avoid it.

Mmmm, he is going to murder Cowboy Bebop with his 'live action' version

:eek: The Apocalypse is here.... :eek:

Hey at least The Spirit could never be as bad as Napoleon Dynamite. I'm still trying to figure out several things about that movie, if it was even a movie.

You make a very valid point, but I wanted to see Eva Mendes' ass, so I regret being a pervert.

You have access to the internet and felt the need to pay movie theatre prices to see her ass?

Wut... Reeves is going to be Spike?

You went to a movie written by Frank Miller; you deserved everything you got.
To be fair, he wrote the comics the films were based upon... but your point still stands.

You're telling me, a lot of the movies that critics hail as masterpieces turn out to excruciatingly dull and pretentious
Quite. No Country For Old Men much?

It's like they're justifying their education or something -_-

I can see how one might think it's pretentious.. but dull?

Aye. Dull.

"Man goes about killing people in what is a slightly cool way once, and then becomes very tedious afterwards, and people have dull discussions etc., with no music to make it like a film and not like a poor theatre production given too large a budget"

Man goes about killing people in what is a slightly cool way once, and then becomes very tedious afterwards, and people have dull discussions etc
Ach, I liked the talkin and the killin... and Kelly MacDonald was awesome (as always).

...with no music to make it like a film
Film don't need music to be film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diegesis#Film_sound_and_music).

But, hey-ho, each to their own.

Ach, I liked the talkin and the killin... and Kelly MacDonald was awesome (as always).
Och she was only in the film for about 8 minutes.
Film don't need music to be film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diegesis#Film_sound_and_music).
Does need music to remain enjoyable through any crap bits, though, at least for me.
But, hey-ho, each to their own.
Aye.

You make a very valid point, but I wanted to see Eva Mendes' ass, so I regret being a pervert.

But sure ye could do that via google...and then just sit there and stare at it...with yer lad in yer hand and no fear of getting reefed like the Pee Wee Herman fella...

Jesus Christ...

Aye. Dull.

"Man goes about killing people in what is a slightly cool way once, and then becomes very tedious afterwards, and people have dull discussions etc., with no music to make it like a film and not like a poor theatre production given too large a budget"
The killer wasn't all that intriguing, but I rather enjoyed watching the poor son of a bitch that was being hunted as he tried to figure his way out the situation while slowly coming to realize just how far in over his head he was.
After he died, the movie went downhill amazingly fast, and I'm not sure if I could call it a good movie with a disappointing ending like that, and certainly not a masterpiece.

Anyway, you don't have to do everything a film critic says, or even agree with their opinion, to get something out the review. For instance, I disagree with Robert Ebert on just about everything he has ever said. As far as I'm concerned, he is a pretentious, moronic hack with no discerning about art or philosophy.
That said, his reviews are very useful because I can get a general idea of what I would or dislike based on his arguments and language.

I read reviews to learn what the story is about. I don't read reviews to learn the reviewer's opinion. I don't mind having a movie 'spoiled'.

Say this is like the 5th. time I see a bad reaction to The Spirit. Is it that bad?

...with yer lad in yer hand and no fear of getting reefed like the Pee Wee Herman fella...

You seem to lead a fulfilling life, Nodinia.

Actually I'm dead inside from watching the spirit. Worst. Movie. Ever. I can't believe it's actually worse than battlefield earth.


My brother said these exact words. Im tempted to see it just to see Eva Mendez nude, but its not worth the $6.50.


This is all sad, because Sin City was fucking awesome.

$6.50? Lucky SOB. :tongue:

It made me post on NS general forums even with the flaming. OF COURSE IT'S FUCKING TERRIBLE! Eva Mendez had a nice ass though.

Eva Mendez had a nice ass though.

It is beautiful. But not $6.50 for a 30 second clip beautiful.

Eva Mendez had a nice ass though.

That's the only good thing about her.

Id do her. Hard.

Watch Wall-E. that movie is amazing. Seriously.

Watch Wall-E. that movie is amazing. Seriously.

Eh. It was worth seeing just to experience the newest generation of CG, but the story itself was lacking, I thougt. Ditto for 300, which someone mentioned - bad history, silly plot, but fascinating greenscreen/CG.

You're speaking for every heterosexual male there my friend

I bet, KoL, I bet.

No Natsu, this is the Internet... nobody reacts good to anything until most people react badly to it. Everyone has thier own personal taste, me.. I'm watching it on New Year.

considering 300 is baised off of a comic book? yeah. but 'Meet the Spartans' did a great parody of the film... including the Greenscreen effects

What can I say... I love cheese!

and MtS... had it's share of cheese, but it could've been better.

Get a blog.

To be honest, I watched the movie and thought, as long as you don't take it too seriously, it wasn't that bad. Not a masterpiece by any means, but not horrible.

That movie was hilarious when I was a kid. Now I find it retarded.

I actually never liked it.

Wilgrove, give me your tots!
