WORST FILM EVER - Anyone agree


This has got to be one of the worst films i have every seen. The acting is terrible.

Although the film is bad it is not the worst ever music biopic (50 Cent get rich or die trying).

The music is great although. Purple Rain is one of my favorite ever songs.

Purple Rain rocked. Worst movie(s) ever? Try every remake ever made.

I don't think it's the worst ever, by any means...but really, without the music/soundtrack, it's pretty bad. Well, really bad. But it's a fun time-capsule film. :)

The soundtrack was amazing, but if you take the musical moments out of the film...ouch...LOL

The music is great, and Prince will always be one of the greatest artists of all time, but yes, the movie is really bad.

AGREED! Hate isn't a big enough word to describe what I feel for this film. Thank you for granting me the privilege of watching Prince wallow in his ego for two hours. Two hours I'll never get back. When I watched this movie, my emotions ran from amusement, to boredom, to disgust and finally to rage. This is nothing more than an over-long commercial for Prince, and a monument to his colossal ego. Thank God for the "bad guy", Morris Day. He was the only likeable person in the movie. Clarence Williams III was also excellent, and way too good to be wasting his talent in this pap. Morris, Clarence, the throwing-the-babe-in the dumpster scene, and Apollonia's tits were the only things that relieved the excruciating torment of sitting through this bunk, an experience not unlike the Ludovico Technique scenes in "A Clockwork Orange".


You may walk on the beach, you may swim in the ocean... under SWAT team surveillance, of course.

Clearly you've never seen Cabin Fever.

No, the music alone makes it more than watchable. Actually really enjoyable if you like Prince and his music. This is Prince at his best. I really enjoy Morris Day and the Time as well.

NO!

This film is totally enjoyable. Great Musical segments and sure the acting isn't the greatest, but the cheesy acting is part of the charm!

Worst Film Ever would have to go to one of Uwe Bolls atrocitities, not Purple Rain...
