Micransix Crappy film

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

wylliearch-870-849998 I had never seen this movie. I became interested in it because apparently, it is considered to be one of the worst movies in cinema. I researched it and read about it, thoroughly. I read quotes by the director, the actors, and many reviews. So I finally watched it last night and must say with all honesty that there is nothing redeeming about it. It is simply a terrible head scratchingly bad movie. If you like it fine but let's not make it out to be anything more than it is. It should be accepted that is really is a bad movie and just move on. It didn't work. Whatever they were trying to achieve with the method they were using failed. That's fine. Roger Rabbit didn't work either and that was Steven Spielberg. If you can fine something redeeming for you then more power to you but for me, it was a complete waste of time. And lets be clear about one thing, if the women were not running around through most of the movie with bare breasts as opposed to wearing something, no one would watch this movie.

celestial_princess I'm giving this 3 out of 10 stars, but I'm going to try to be nice in explaining why. Newsday (here in New York) gave this No Stars and called it the worst movie of the year back in 1995 (And in my opinion, "Joe's Apartment" was the worst movie of 1995, not this). I was only 16 when this movie was released in theaters, and I wouldn't see it until 2014, on a night when my son was in bed early and there was nothing to do. I noticed this was coming on, and even though it had only 1 star out of 4 on the TV ratings, I said to my husband "Let's watch it. How bad can it be?". Well, I didn't like it, but I didn't hate it enough to give it 1 star. It sends out a terrible message: That to get ahead in life, you've got to be a slut. There's the constant flashing of breasts and butts, but even if you like nudity in films, you'll get tired of that quick because of the plot (or lack thereof). In fact, there was only one part of this movie that I can recommend watching, and that's the 'sex in the pool' scene. Not that I liked it, but because it's so over the top and physically impossible that it's unintentionally hilarious! So if you want to watch this movie, I suggest fast forwarding an hour, watch the sex in the pool, then turn it off because it really doesn't get any better from there. I watched all of it, and as soon as the credits came on, my husband and I said at the same time "Thank God!". I'll never watch this movie again.

christopher-underwood I really don't know why this film is, seemingly, so disliked. I have just re-watched on an uncut Dutch Blu-ray and it looks fabulous. It is possible some of the detractors have seen cut versions and of course, as usual, if you try to cut something you can make it worse for those you are trying to protect. Here Verhoeven presents a colourful and exaggerated Las Vegas spectacular with plentiful skin, sex and intrigue plus some really heavy and nasty stuff. Rip that out and you are just left with the froth. No depth, no questions asked and merely a seeming ode to Vegas. The whole uncut movie is a fantastic portrayal of the official front of house shenanigans but Verhoeven also goes behind to show, not only the corruption and exploitation but also uncovers the motivation which seem to have more to do with power than money. The stage show sequences are competent enough but it is the lap top and more personal sexual sequences that are particularly well shot with a drive that really does keep going for over two hours.

garysedore What a waste of film. Why each copy of this didn't spontaneously combust will forever be a mystery to me. There aren't accurate words to describe how poorly acted and directed this piece of garbage is. Unless you're a pubescent boy looking for some cheap thrills, there is absolutely no reason to watch this. When I saw that it "won" ten awards I was aghast. Who, or what, could possibly vote for this? Then I read what organization presented these "awards." They are quite appropriate. Do yourself a favor, don't even be tempted to watch this dreck, even if only for curiosity's sake. And if you DO come across a copy of this, would you please destroy it? A grateful world thanks you.
