I agree. Surprisingly watchable.

I agree, I enjoyed it as much as Surrogates, if not a little more.

Surprisingly enough, I actually enjoyed this movie, when I originally expected to hate it. It's just a silly over the top action movie, everyone in the movie knew it and you could tell they all had fun with it.

Because sponges never have bad days.

No, it's not.

A good idea, a dreadful, dreadful movie, poor in every way. So wanted to switch it off. A horrible film. Poor Gerard never stood a chance!

This is the worst movie I've ever seen, and I didn't get to the end.

I've seen that some posters think this is "satire" or that there is a good message in the film, and that is ridiculous. Next they'll be saying that the saw movies are a parody of the horror genre. Just because it's ridiculously over-the-top, doesn't make it a satire.

It was funny to see Jesse from Gilmore Girls in it. Oh, how bad his career must be now.

The worst I've ever seen? Not quite. 'The Last Drop' or 'The Avengers' for me.

i disagree

consensus is usually right, where pop culture is concerned

in this case, it did suck

but i am glad you liked it.

Yeah. I almost turned the tv off after seeing first 5-10 minutes from the beginning. It really seemed like a horrible teen mtv-generation-x type of childish shakycam-action movie. But it got better! Much better when movie time passed on which is rare. I actually liked the movie. 8/10

I completely forgot i watched this and accidentally rewatched it. Still as deeply unpleasant as ever. Reminded me of those kids commercials from late 90s/early 00s with sex and violence thrown in. Trash, and not in a fun way.
