Allen Wagner’s Commentary

25. Lethal Weapon 4 – It was so great as a trilogy. Why did they have to make a fourth? Why bring in Chris Rock? Why bring Pesci back? Why try and make us believe Mel Gibson could beat Jet Li in a fight?

24. Billy Madison – This movie isn’t nearly as funny as people make it to be.

23. Rocky V – Also a good series not needing a fifth, now getting a sixth.

22. The Blair Witch Project – Just plain suck, filled with suck.

21. Wild Wild West – At least it looks like it was fun for the actors to bring in that paycheck.

20. Battlefield Earth – No comment needed.

19. Pretty Woman – Title should be Wishful Thinking.

18. XXX – Wouldn’t hate it at all if not for them trying to make Vin Diesel look like he hangs out with Dave Mirra and Tony Hawk, spewing out names of tricks you know he doesn’t understand. And the stupid gun.

17. The Land Before Time VII: The Stone of Cold Fire – The only way this series redeems itself is if part XI is a movie of them all dying.

16. Planet of the Apes (2001) – I never understood why this premise was supposed to be scary.

15. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back – Utter crap. Kevin Smith making a quick buck. Some great scenes filled with no plot at all.

14. Cruel Intentions – A lot of people like it, but I think it’s complete nonsense.

13. Grease – Maybe because I know Travolta in his more recent roles, but I think he and the rest of the plotline in this movie are entirely too fake to even hold my interest as being remotely possible.

12. Gladiator – Was better when it was Spartacus.

11. The Breakfast Club – These people just suck, and things are unresolved, but we’re happy. And most of all Judd Freaking Nelson is trying to play a badass... the same guy who voiced a freaking Transformer!

10. Armageddon – The one redeeming thing to this movie is Steve Buschemi.

9. Pee-wee’s Big Adventure – I really hate this movie; everyone else loves it. I really hate the fat kid.

8. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors – Freddy sucks, and so do his movies.

7. The Wedding Planner – Too bad five years earlier Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore made the same movie but with better acting and better plot and comedy.

6. Save the Last Dance – Black guy and white girl can in fact date and have sex. I want to see a white man black/girl movie for once where the girl gets told off a by a bunch of uptight white frat boys and they refuse to let her in the country club. Plus as far as dance goes, if you want to see a real dance movie, go see Center Stage for a lot less suck.

5. Blue Streak – Hi, I'm Martin Lawrence. I can't act, nor is anything I say really that funny because I am
too busy being oppressed by "the man." Join me as we ignore enormous plot holes, bad acting, and horrid story.

4. National Security – Why does anyone like Martin Lawrence? How does he keep getting work? Why hasn't someone punched him in the face? Movie would be better titled as "Watch Martin Lawrence confirm as many prejudices about black men and say as many racial slurs as possible in an hour and a half."

3. Austin Powers in Goldmember – First two very original and parody filled. Third one the same exact jokes over and over again, just like a run down SNL skit.

2. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas – Why does anyone like this movie? It sucks. No plot, nothing likable in it or about it.

1. Batman & Robin – I will rant about this movie because it truly depicts all that is wrong in the movie business. The Batman comic series is easily the best of all time. Most developed characters, most believable, and best to make movies out of, if done right. Instead we take a great character like Mr. Freeze and place Arnold and have him say bad pun after bad pun. Then we destroy all of the original story to the Batman comic by making Batgirl all of a sudden Alfred's niece instead of Commissioner Gordon's daughter, we give the bat suits nipples, we stop using Val Kilmer and Micheal Keaton both who were great Batmans. We add Poison Ivy for absolutely no reason at all, because we feel Mr. Freeze isn't enough for some reason, and to make it all the worst, we take Bane -- who is the one and only bad guy Batman fears in the comics and cartoon, the smartest bad guy of them all -- and we make him have no brain and he only utters or mumbles the word "Bane" and "smash." This movie is the worst ever all time, and whoever made it should be kicked in the groin repeatedly by ten-year-olds, and should apologize not only for ruining Batman so horribly, but for ruining comics translated into movies for the next seven years until X-Men and Spiderman came out.
