I have not seen KJ yet, but I'm really intrigued, a film has really got to suck to get a 2.7 rating. I mean "the Avengers" got 3.4, but its better than "Battlefield Earth" which got 2.3!!
Battlefield earth didn't make number 1 of course, and was jointly trashed by the critics and the public, I must see it one day tho'.
BTW KJ has now dropped to imdb rating 2.3/10 but what boxoffice position will it have next week? Does anyone know what the lowest previous rating was for a no 1 Boxoffice (they are often in the range 4.7 to 5.5)??
I suggest to all of you self-conscious movie lovers out there to GO OUT AND DESTORY THIS MOVIE!! Go to the theaters and protest! Vandalize merchandise of the movie!! Deface posters you see around!!! STAND IN FRONT OF THE THEATER DOOR AND NOT LET ANYONE IN. This reign of bile has to stop immediately, and we're the only ones who are willing to do anything about it!! JOIN ME MY BROTHERS! Together we shall FIGHT!! MWAH!!! DEATH TO THE FILM! DEATH TO THE PRODUCER!!! DEATH TO THE DIRECTOR!!!! Kill them all!
No, I think there was one other movie that sticks out as being significantly more crappy (since it actually had pretenses of NOT being crappy--- something KJ cannot lay claim to).... and that movie.... is Crossroads with Britney Spears.
And while it currently has a rating of 3.1 (it was 1.8 after the first week) to KJ's 2.3, 3000 people voted for Crossroads while only 300 have voted for KJ--- Crossroads had more 10 votes by percentage than KJ (not by much) which means more morons actually liked that movie than loved KJ. Also, KJ has more of a reason to be #1 since it actually had talent in the cast. I have to think that the 12.5% of 10's for on Crossraods were Britney-fanatics, and as such, worthless. Therefore, from a little extrapolation.... Crossroads was a much worse movie since it was just sad to watch, rather than morbidly, mind-numbingly stupid drivvle (KJ). Give credit for the worst #1 where it is due: Britney Spears.
Arguably, I think this was a stupider movie than Crossraods, but it obviously has more entertainment value and actors. Also, Britney Spears movie would have made it straight to cable had it not been for her, just as KJ probably should have went straight to Disney Video or TV.
Gee I didn't think of Crossroads, but it make no 1? Obviously if it only got 3.1 that's astonishing considering all the Britney fans. It's funny how the IMDB rating seems to be more accurate than viewer comments, which always contain a few "If you'd a switched off your brain, you'd a loved this movie like I did"
So close :) Kangaroo Jack WAS worse than Crossroads. I'm just glad they're both on the bottom 100 list and in the lower end of THAT! lol Kangaroo Jack wasn't THE worst movie of all time, but it just may go down that way. My vote goes to Leprechaun in Space... or at least Battlefield: Earth!
You must keep in mind that most of the comments on this thread, hell, on this entire board, are from individuals who have never or will never see the movies themselves. They base most of their opinions and votes on, trailers. So taking that into account, I think the chances that the more people who vote the greater the percentage of error. Error being people who vote 1 or 10 for the hell of it.
PS- Battlefield Earth IS the worst movie ever, mainly because it had so many good actors in it. But I hated Signs as well, so....
trueice that is so true. I saw the movie with my friend only because Im not a jack nicholson fan, and adaptaion didn't seem like my cuppa tea either. So i said what the h*ll (can i say hell here?) im gonna go see this. Now it started out just like everyone thought- crap, but it slowly turned into an enjoyable movie that if someone else payed for, id see it again. Don't judge a book by it's cover, don't judge a movie by it's preview.
Whats with all these *beep*- movies hitting number 1? just before kangaroo there was just married? how can these be beating the blockbusters like LOTR and Chicago?
I actually saw Battlefield: Earth to SEE how crappy it was. It wasn't as funny as I'd hoped, since they were serious when they made it. It had it's moments of stupudity that made for good mocking...
