Worst Movie Ever

Now, I wouldn't go as far as to say "Little Buddah" is the worst movie ever. I think Keanu did a fine job, and the film is beautiful to look at, and it makes you think a little bit about spirituality, and what one's purpose is in life. While it wasn't a blockbuster by any means, it certainly isn't terrible. If you want to see a terrible Keanu Reeves film, watch "Even Cowgirls Get The Blues." Now THAT'S bad.

Yes, Keanu playing Buddha is weird, but this isn't a Keanu film. If you say it's bad, you're going to hae to give us a little more insight into your thought process, other than playing the "Keanu Reeves card."

Firstly, "Little Buddha" is directed by Bertolucci. That should need no further explanation for anyone who has some solid film knowledge. Secondly, the Director of Photography is Storaro, and again, that speaks for itself (and it speaks volumes).

In the hands of a director who knows what he's doing and a DP who is the best in the business, the craft side of the film shouldn't be in question. So that must mean you have a problem with the story. That's fine... maybe it's just not your kinda story. It's paced somewhat slowly and puts a lot of emphasis on internal emotions and spiritual problems/developments. Not everyone digs that kind of movie.

I give this movie an eight out of ten (8/10) for a wonderfully told story with visuals that are at times breathtaking. It's not the true story of the Buddha, but even Lama Norbu addresses that issue when talking with Dean.

This is one of my favorite films... it's one that I can watch over and over again and still be entertained, and it's one that inspired me to become a film major.

An even worse movie than Little Buddha, which also happens to star Keanu, would be ALL THREE of the Matrix movies. Get a life "dude." I thought this moveie was probably one of the better movies I've ever seen that had Keanu Reeves name attached to it.

The WORST movie ever??? I'm not sure how you could come to that conclusion. Would you explain further? I think perhaps you are just one of the legion of "Keanu haters" that pop up all over Internet chat rooms? I thought he was perfectly cast in this role and loved this movie. It was lovely to look at and affords the viewer with a chance to see the story of the Buddha in a very entertaining format.

Right, no tits, no explosions, no Ah-nold to break jaws and limbs, and to top it all, it expects you to think! That's outrageous! Worst movie ever!

I've watched this movie several times already. It's an enjoyable movie. It's not the best movie in the world, but it's certainly not the worst. There are many more movies worse than this. I consider this a pretty good movie.

Keanu Reeves also did a great job as The Buddha.

You seem to hate the movie just for the fact that Keanu played the Buddha.

Preach it!

I couldn't believe how god-awful this movie was. It was astoundingly bad. Atrocious even.

I love Stealing Beauty, I liked the Dreamers, I know what Bertolucci is capable of and I have a really, really hard time believing he directed this crap.

Even without Keanu, it would have been awful... but he certainly brought it to a new level of suckitude.
