Bad movie but entertainingly bad for sure, worth a look for those that like good-bad movies

I've seen worse... I'm more shocked by what really was happening in that colony.

aps42 you don't know what bad is. In fact it is so funny that people and critics loved Argo when it was a total bore compared to this and the story they showed on film was full of lies. Numerous governments disagreed with it and one of them was my Canadian government and we have more credibility in this world than the U.S. so yeah I am believing that Argo was a waste of time. This here movie did more for the world than Argo. Argo was just lifted by a hype train and man when Americans think they did something good they are going to back it big time. Oh and as for really bad movies have you seen Freddy Got Fingered? If you haven't then watch it and get back to me on telling me what a bad movie is.

actually, I'm inclined to agree Argo is overrated but it's still a decent film. on metacritic alone Colonia stands at 33 and Argo at 86, even if Argo is an undeserving critical darling, Colonia has been panned outright by critics across the board, one critic describes it as a tasteless Hallmark Card which is a fitting description.

let's not forget bad can assume different forms. check my ratings and you'll see i've seen plenty of nonsense, Freddy got Fingered i know by reputation only but the difference between a 1/10 and a 3 or 4/10 is huge, at least to me

and also, where i'm from or not does not influence my opinion, after all I gave Argo a light 6 yet gave Braveheart a strong 6, I don't hand out 1's, 2's, 9's and 10's like candy which is more than can be said for you

I also think this was way better that Argo. The worst movie I've ever seen is Inside (À l'intérieur). Abysmally bad but 6.9 on here.

I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!

So Metacritic is supposed to be the holder of truth?

[–] aps42 8 years ago

it is a guideline at the worst of times and an indicator at the best, much like any critic consensus site, nothing more nothing less

The parts where he was acting brain dead were funny.
