The definition of 'so bad it's good'

I saw the trailer for this flick, and I thought *beep* I have to see this ridonkulous *beep* (I guess ridonkulous is some new hip slang, but I just use it to say ridiculous). I throughfully enjoyed this movie, it had to be made to be a so bad it's good movie, and if it wasn't, it was one hell of a lucky streak. The actors were bad, the actors that weren't, were creepy (well, pretty much just Mengele), the gory special effects were pretty good, and the CGI were not at all, but they kinda had that 50's B-movie look to them at times, which I enjoyed. Basically, it had all the good of the bad things, and most importantly of all, it didn't drag, and I never felt that it wasn't entertaining, the dialouge is *beep* and luckily, the actors do a terrible job at saying it.

If you're looking for a ridonkulous *beep* movie, then I really, really recommend this. Is it any good? No, of course not, but what the *beep* do you expect from the title? Truth to be told, it's one of the best, worst movies I've ever seen. So stop being nitpicking bastards, and just enjoy the damn movie for what it is. Ridonkulous *beep* *beep* :)

Ridonkulous.

There was so much in this film to love! Anyone who didn't like it is a nazi-hating,anti-technology,UFO-debunking,anti-environmental, hippie-hugging, tittie-loathing Busey-hating elitist hipster.

A very fulfilling movie that was everything I thought it would be- and MORE!

My "#3" key is broken so I'm putting one here so i can cut & paste with it.

Gabby, don't forget the abortion the Dr. gave his girlfriend right after she told him she was pregnant so he could grab those stem cells for Hitler!

I have never been more stoked to make a movie then when I got the script for this. It's absurdity on a whole other level. Which is saying something for us.

This was by far the best time I had with a bad movie. It rose my adrenaline because every time I tried to predict what they were gonna come up with - they totally shocked me. I really respect it because they either put a lot of effort creating the most bizarre / trashy story they could or maybe everything was some sort of misunderstanding when somebody with a great sense of humor was asked for a plot idea. A lot of "serious" movies also did a little exaggerating (Tarantino, Oliver Stone) and we love them for it.

Yeah, as far as "so bad it's good", this was a masterpiece, each new introduction being worse (or better, depending on your point of view) than the previous. If you have the least sense of humor (or at least don't go to see a movie called "Nazis at the center of the earth" expecting the next Citizen Kane), you will find this enjoyable.

Well it gave us a good laugh

The film became highly entertaining when they put stemcells into a machine and it opened up. Made me want a Wolfenstein 3D movie even more than ever.

I may have to see this now. I am a rare person, who is apparently not alone, who enjoys cheesy flicks. If this is anywhere near as good as Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies, I'm in.

Say what you will about Asylum, they always turn a profit, and always get their movies out there. Many actors have movies they've done which sit for years on some guy's hard drive, but from what I've been told by an Asylum alum, they always pay their people and distribute efficiently... and while they are not on par with the latest $200 million blockbuster, they aren't trying to be. It's just a fun genre.

Yeah, I gotta say I really enjoyed this move in the bad/good way. One thing that bugged me, though, was the CGI. It was passable for the majority of the movie, but there were some parts that were so bad it's hard to believe they kept them in the movie. Two that stuck out for me:

1. The ice crawler tractor thing. Just brutal. Looked like those mockups they use when films aren't complete and they just need something in place.

2. When hitler chops that guys head off. I mean, why make a cgi severed head. Can't be that hard to make a fake bloody head that resembles the guy.

Surprisingly watchable movie though. I thought the under-ice world looked awesome. I feel like that could be a movie in itself, with a whole set of creatures that evolved differently.

The ice crawler is called a Snow Cat. Apparently it was about 60 years old, and the only one in all of northern California.

Yes. Just having watched the movie to the end. This movie actually IS exactly "so bad its good". Its a 200K $ budget movie and the CGI - especially in the beginning - is so terrible it makes the CGI in the original StarWars movies look awsome. But yes. Its strangely facinating. Its made of alot of what Iron Sky great. Its got that whole dieselpunk-ish thing that just works.
Id love a real sinister and horror version of Iron Sky though. But this movie is appealing to the same people who loved Braindead and Bad taste.

With "zombie" Nazis and Hitler's head in a jar, how can it not be?
