I know I'm late to the party here, but has anyone mentioned Battlefield Earth? For me, that's my all-time worst movie. Ever. It's absolutely horrible and pretty much the only movie I almost walked out on. I was half-way out of the theatre when the optimist in me said, "wait, it could get better", and of course, it just got worse.

I know it was mentioned earlier BUT it is worthy of many many many mentions!

I think Ebert's mentioning of it is worth mentioning:

"It's not merely bad; it's unpleasant in a hostile way."

And my favourite line from that review: "The director, Roger Christian, has learned from better films that directors sometimes tilt their cameras, but he has not learned why."

I nominate Star Wars Episode 7. The whole pot with the Starkiller Base doesn't make any sense, the fact that Rei was conveniently left behind on Jakku is mind-boggling and in a world where everyone tells everyone their secret mission after the just met is crazy. Also what was Phasma thinking when she disabled the shields of the base??? The only possible outcome would be that the rebels (I call them that because they are the same rebels from Episode 4) attack the base and trying to destory them. She should have been a trooper and get herself killed as a sacrifice for the greater good of the First Order and nothing would have happened.

Worst movie ever -1/10.

+1

I would sit through Battlefield Earth AND Highlander 2 before I saw that POS again. It made me re-evaluate my "no reading spoilers before I see a movie" policy. I wish I never spent money to see it.

Glad I didn't bother with this movie.

A friend of mine and I decided to watch this one evening this past fall with a few bottles of wine. We made it half way through before she demanded the remote and forwarded through the rest of it at high speed. It's a lot worse than people say, which is pretty bad to begin with. It doesn't even have that Showgirls charm.

"C+"

"2.75 and 3 out of 5 Schmoes"

"Probably a better time... if you're drunk (Yeah, now it's a party!)."

Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 23% - "London Has Fallen traps a talented cast -- and all who dare to see it -- in a mid-1990s basic-cable nightmare of a film loaded with xenophobia and threadbare action-thriller clichés."

Metacritic Score: 28 out of 100
