    Yes! Battlefield Earth.
    I stayed for the whole movie because I couldn’t believe how bad it was.

      To me battlefield earth falls under the “so bad it begins to loop back around into Cheesey fun” category.

      I especially love how what are essentially cave men find F16 fighter jets from the past and not only do the jets and old fuel work, but the cave men know how to start them and fly them effectively.

      L Ron really outdid himself on that gem.

      That movie suffers from the source material being fucking ridiculously long and weird. Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 is like 1000 pages or so. Also it’s L Ron Hubbard so the book is just weird and creepy at times.

      I watched the trailer and it looked so good. I was really waiting for it for a half year or so. You can imagine my disappointment.

    My dumbass father liked eragon, I couldn’t even give it a fair shot as a movie bc I was too caught up in how they absolutely butchered the storyline of the books.

      So I went and saw it on a weekend with a buddy just because we liked seeing movies. We went into it with no idea what it was about besides “epic dragon movie”. I watched so many fans of the book get up angrily about 35 minutes in and storm out.

      We talked to one of the theatre employees and they said that they had never received so many refund requests for a bad film before Eragon.

          Are we talking Star Was Holiday Special bad, or is it the sort of thing you could watch while laughing at it? Because my friend has a big weed stash and needs to know about movies like that.

    How has nobody mentioned the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender movie? I saw it as a kid and even I wanted to leave.
