For those looking for a really rotten movie,Pompeii may fill the bill.
Just read one of the early reviews that said the dialogue is so bad you root for the volcano

It must have been hard for you to watch the movie after living through it.
Too bad you've "blocked" me so you won't know I commented.
Or will you...?

Was that a Mrs. Roxy joke, Namo? If so, it wasn't very nice.
And again, I'm sorry Roxy blocked me so he couldn't see me defending his "wife".

Posted: 2/18/14 at 8:51pmThanks, buddy. It's nice to be appreciated. But (obviously) that's not what I do my good deeds for.

Posted: 2/18/14 at 9:01pmRoxy's going to be so confused reading this thread since he'll only see your posts, Namo. I mean, won't he?

Posted: 2/22/14 at 1:07pmAnother reviewer said the gladiators coming into the arena looked like chorus boys in a Broadway musical. This is now a must see howler.

Even more than a naked Mrs. Roxy?
Sad that Roxy blocked me so he won't see my comment.

Jordan, you make me laugh. I actually want to see this. I had tickets to a free screening, but didn't go. As someone, who's been to the ruins of Pompeii, I would like to see the Hollywood version of their story. It could be entertaining, especially with hunky shirtless guys.

Posted: 2/22/14 at 1:34pmi'm a sucker for movies like this and i enjoyed it... but man, that ending shot was ridiculously stupid... i think more then half my audience laughed (it was a free screening and the whole auditorium was full)... that and the line "i'll get the horses" got tons of laughs at its awkward placement...

I saw it this morning in a surprisingly crowded theater. Everyone there knew what they were getting into and people were cracking up throughout. Kiefer in particular was SO bad that you just had to laugh.
Tons of shirtless hunks parading around getting sweaty and fighting with each other.
I don't know why they spent so much time before the volcano trying to make us care who was falling in love with whom and who would get married, blah, blah, blah. I mean don't they know this volcano is going to blow and kill them all in 40 minutes anyway?! Don't waste my time! Just show the cool disaster movie we all came to see.
The lead guy reminded me of John Carter; hope he has better luck with picking his next projects.

Posted: 2/22/14 at 7:16pmI went into this purely for the volcano. I wish they had more of it...

Posted: 2/22/14 at 9:15pmI was surprised how much I enjoyed it, stupid fun film, that by the end I kinda cared what happened to them. Plus Whizzer the theatre I saw it in was packed as well, and yes it really is a would be comedy.

Posted: 2/22/14 at 10:03pmKiefer acted as if he knew what kind of movie he was in. I wish Kit acted the same way, with a sly smile and nod to its ridiculousness. Thank goodness for his shirtless scenes.
