For me, "Pluto Nash" was average, but leaning towards the good side as a comedy flick. In fact, it made me laugh on several occasions. Now I know it was a pointless, and for some irritating kind of film, but I want to know what people hate about this film in detail.
...Now, GO!!
Number one reason: an utterly stupid plot!!
Something like funny scenes, good overall feeling, or innovative ideas could have still made it a little better, but no cigar. The fire-fighting scenes especially were awkwardly bad.
I think this was better than armageddon, and I'm considering either a 3 or 4 (out of 10), but I think I'll end up with 3. In a way I'm sad that in the past 10 years Eddie Murphy has almost only been in crappy movies. :|
The reasons this movie sucks:
Its not funny (except for John Cleese)
The cardboard set
it put me to sleep

Well, I caught this on tv yesterday for the first time and was expecting something completely unwatchable when you look at its rating on here. I was rather surprised because I actually quite liked this movie (I'd personally give it around 6.5/10). Don't know why most people seem to have a bug up their ass about it. I guess it just goes to show you that just because the majority of people dislike something you shouldn't either.

"I gave a 1 for this movie only because of the poster, Eddie Murphy's arrogant look bothers me"
lol.
Here's why I hated it:
I could pretty much sum it up in one breif statement -- "It had a muddled plot."
The whole movie made no sense whatsoever.
Don't worry, it's not the first movie I've seen with a muddled plot, and it won't be the last. But I consider muddled plots to be my "unforgivable sin" when making a film.
I'd even expect a sci-fi special to have a solid plot, even if the script, acting, and special effects suck...just keep the story steadily progressing in a straight line is all I ask .
But that is why I personally hate it, not because it bombed, when I learned that it bombed I was shocked, the previews looked pretty good.
There's an idea, just watch those over and over :)

I find it irritating as in not entertaining, when the writers / producers have so little understanding of basic Physics, that they flub important factors related to a story based ON THE MOON... (vacuum - as in no air - no sound - no air cushions)
If you watched a movie, about TARZAN in the JUNGLE, and it revolved around a German bunker, under heavy Allied bombardment in WW2, you'd say, "Wah?"
That's the kind of "pain" caused by watching Pluto Nash on the Moon.
It's so b-a-d, that it is an insult to intelligence.
Oh, and the dialog is flat and plot is cliched and lame, being poached from far better sources.
