Oh, I quite liked
The Wall, though I'll admit it's been years since I've seen it and my opinion may have changed.
No, so far as I am concerned, the worst movie I've ever seen (MSTies don't count) is
The Medallion, starring Jackie Chan. Now, it was probably made worse by the fact that I saw it in the theatre, meaning that I went all the way across town on the bus to see it. (About an hour each way.) Also, it's not a genre I like in the first place, and Graham knew that even as he was all but begging me to come with him. I like Chow Yun Fat, and I like Jet Li as often as not, but I don't like Jackie Chan. And I don't like pure kung fu movies. (I have issues stemming from my days on the Evergreen school paper; our sports editor was also the head of the kung fu club/team.) So I did not go into this movie with high expectations, but it still
completely failed to live up to them. I had to go sit in the bathroom for five minutes because I just couldn't take it anymore. And as we walked out of the theatre after one of the only times I didn't stay for the credits, Graham said, "Wow. That was worse than I was expecting."
Eragon was a pretty close second, though.
