    Worst movie I've see

    Rented the "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" DVD tonight.

    http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0285823/

    Easily one of the worst movies I've had the displeasure of watching in the past few years, rivaling "Bio-Dome" as one of the worst ever! What a waste of 2hrs of my life. I walked past "Open Range" tonight, not wanting to get burned once again by a bad Kevin Costner movie... but instead it's Antonio Banderas a horrid movie this time. Should have rented Open Range I guess, at least it may have put me to sleep.

    It had no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Even the "action" was poorly done and way too over the top. The bad guys miss from point blank range with automatic rifles, the good guys get forehead kill shots while doing acrobatic stunts and flips. It was so stupid I can't even begin to describe how bad this movie was.

    You have been warned, pass this one up at all costs. This is your public service announcement for the evening, wanted to make sure noone else wasted their time on this flick. :laugh:

    Is Johnny Depp the only thing decent in that movie, or was he horrible as well?

    that's why i didnt go see it. I buy a bunch of dvd's a month and sometimes find dvd's i never opened or knew i had. I have the whole 'Once Upon a Time in China' series. Really original the first time you see it. If some of these movies would stop being so cheesy nowadays maybe we could get some decent action movies with originality. Not to say Action Films like Lord of The Rings comes every once in a blue moon with good story and action.

    I would say Kill Bill vol. 1 was good. I have watched so many old chinese flicks that i can just relate to all the movies Quentin has done. From the fighting scenes to the lines that end up so "memorable" in the states.

    Listen to the man on this one.


    btw Open Range is good. I buy cowboy flicks also.

    Open Range is a great movie, Robert Duvall is a really good actor. Don't get it if you like westerns though. And I liked Bio-Dome, kinda dumb, but it made me laugh... :)

    I beg to disagree. I think Torque is by far the worst movie I have EVER seen. Ice Trey or whatever the hell he calls himself ruined any acting fame he might have had. God that movie blew, and i mean blew big time.

    Torque was bad, wish I could get my money back. The commercials were even bad. It looks like they took Fast and Furious and put it on bikes, without even changing the story.

    Hmm, I'll have to give Open Range a look then... I've just been burned by Costner so many times I didn't want to give him another chance.

    Upon further reading, apparently this movie was part of a trilogy, and this was the last in the series. My God, how could they make 3 movies this bad.

    Yea, definatly.....Open Range is a long movie, but I though it was cool. Robert Duvall does a great job, and Costner isn't too bad. But like I said, if you do not like westerns, you probably wont like this.

    I'll have to look into that, looks OK. Never been a big fan of Costner.

    Wierd, I tend to like many of Costner's movies. I guess I'm in the minority around here.

    Yea, I'm with you too, I don't mind him....I forgot the name of it, but the baseball movie he did where he was going for the perfect game, I thought it was great. The only movie of his I did not like was Waterworld :-&

    Biodome was OK, it was sorta funny, but I've seen a lot better.

    I think Costner gets a bad rap. I like a lot of his movies and Open Range is no exception. Duvall is great in this movie. It is long but I enjoyed it. I would agree with the others that if you do not like westerns you probably are not going to like this one either though.
