Oh, give me a break. Lots of people were yelling about how unbelievable the movies were when they were actually released. Critics and viewers alike. If that is why they are supposed to be bad, my point was to suggest that they are actually quite accurate depictions of human behavior.
It couldn't be the acting, as that was spot on in both films. Couldn't be the cinematography, either, because it was epic in scope and application. The sound and music were exemplary in both films as well. It couldn't be the characters, you had everything people require in a cast of characters.
The reluctant hero
The woman you know he is going to get in the end
The powerful antagonist
The weak masses
The quirky character that the hero deals with regularly
It had to be the plot that people hated. I'm just showing that the plot is not as far-fetched as many might believe. One movie is about communication and community. Another is about breaking away from dying ideals to forge a new future. Both movies are equally relevant, and deal with the difficulty in determining just what is right, and what is wrong.
It had to be the plot. Or was it just that people didn't like seeing themselves for what they truly are?
Cheers,

Actually, the story is Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey". The Soundtrack was great too, and introduced a lot of people to some of the greats of the bluegrass/folk world (and the music too, for that matter).Blue said:

The one that trumps all of them, however, is Traxx. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0096302/
God that was an awful movie.

oh don't get me wrong, the movie was bad. but i ALSO own the soundtrack. actually, i need to locate it and up load to the ipod.
I have two this past year that may not be worst overall but definitely most disappointing.
I've liked every movie made by both these directors till I watched...
-The Happening by M. Night Shamalama or whatever. Bad script, bad acting...Just garbage. Initial coolness of watching people off themselves in weird ways wore out quickly.
Closest thing to saving grace was seeing the Eight Is Enough mom as a crazy old lady.
I ended up rooting for the grass.
-No Country for Old Men by the Coen Brothers. Damn, I wanted to like this movie.
Most overrated movie I've ever watched.
I loved 3/4 of it and then, bam, nothing.
It felt like 2 hrs of foreplay followed by "Good night" and a peck on the cheek.

And there is a much longer list, but no amount of Guiness and pizza could compensate for that horribly irritating and boring film.
