I gave it another chance after watching the great EFNY again, and it just as bad as I remember it.

The CGI somehow looks worse than it does in Newyork! work that one out.

Yeah I've seen this movie twice, and the 2nd time did it for me. EFNY is a great movie, this thing is as stinky a turd as you can get.

Don't apologize for your opinion as if it has any meaning to us.

Ignore the grammar police and trolls. You're right, it is an awful movie. Carpenter's first full bad movie. Sadly not his last one.

"Awful"? Well that's just your opinion. So what if the budget was low.

Beyond cheesy on the following examples:
CGI my 15 yr-old cousin can make at his home computer.
Cheap, on-the-nose dialogue: “call me snake”
Bottom-end bad acting: the president’s daughter. She talks like someone with an anal rash.
The bad guy being a cheap copy of Ernesto “Che” Guevara.
“Look at me l’m a badass! I’m a badass look!” black-leather everything.

Yeah, even if you judge it on its own merits, it still isn't a very good movie.

I can't say it's unwatchable, though.
