Nothing could be worse than Burton's Planet of the Apes. But then the whole film was on that kind of level anyway. It was like a final dump in the toilet to a two-hour bowel movement.

Wow. You've put in to words exactly what I had been feeling about that film since the evening I saw it. To me, Burton's PotA and GL's AotC are the two worst films I have ever seen.


If Planet of the Apes and Attack of the Clones are the worst you've seen, you're VEEEEERRRRY lucky... And for that matter, even those two movies aren't in the same league of badness.


I'm pretty good at steering away from bad movies. I mean, I'm sure if I watched something like What Happens in Vegas that would be a new candidate but why in the world would I want to do that? And it still probably has better acting and writing than Attack of the Clones. I watch a lot of low-budget horror stuff, so indeed I HAVE seen worse examples, but I think I can honestly say that AOTC has the worst acting and dialog I have ever witnessed in a mainstream motion picture in my life. I'm trying to think of stuff that comes close but its hard--stuff like Wing Commander and Battlefield Earth, though bad, is at least two or three times more convincing in that department. My argument has always been: if a high school student wrote and directed Attack of the Clone--what would be different about it? I can't think of anything.
