By your thinking any film by Uwe Boll (which have relatively high budgets) wouldn't fit into B-Moviedom. To me, Uwe Boll is the Ed Wood of our day.

I'm clearly a mutant. I've read the book twice and seen the movie a couple of times. It's silly and there are some very goofy parts, but (shrug) it's okay.

I once joined a crew to MS3TK that movie.

Now, as far as soldiering, I will admit that I also read all of Mission: Earth. that was rough, but I wanted to see if it was any good. It wasn't. But there were a couple of tiny interesting thiings from it.

I draw the line at Scientology, though. Can't go there. Sorry.

1. screenwriting, script, and dreadlocks
2. better than universal soldier 2(brothers in arms)
not quite as good as the phenomenon

Battlefield Earth merits its place at the bottom of my list because of three factors:

The poor quality of just about every aspect of it, from concept to dialogue to character "development" to costuming and make-up

The ratio of budget v/s quality (which is why it doesn't merit the Ed Wood excuse)

The hubris of John Travolta--the lamest, ugliest cult shill I've ever seen


I'm willing to extend a lot of credit to movies that make do with little resources. Heck--some of my favorite films were made for less than the percentage of BE's budget spent on Lee Press-on Dreads. But when a film spends a butt-load of money just to come up with something as crappy as BE--AND they have the messianic tie-in with El Ron Huckster--they deserve all of my scorn. They've got it.

Wait a minute, I liked Cherry 2000, It's no Death Race 2000 but Melanie Griffith is kinda hot. At least it's corny, BE is just bizarre. Travolta just seems like he's drunk through the whole movie.
