Worst Movie Ever?

Well, I just finished watching Soldier, starring Kurt Russell, for the second time in two days. I assumed that the second viewing would be as painful as the first, but boy was I wrong. During the second viewing I actually felt sorry for the actors, many of which I'm sure don't include Soldier on their resume. Although the acting was horrible, the special effects laughable, the set design ridiculous, and the direction somewhat non-existant, it was all overshadowed by the tragic writing. Whoever was responsible for the plot of this movie should never again be allowed to set pen to paper, nor have access to any word processing environment. They shouldn't even be allowed to speak their ideas to anyone else, who, might inadvertantly write them down. The writing was, for lack of a better term, toxic.

I know that by panning this movie in such a forceful manner, some of you out there are going to be tempted to rent it, just to see if it is as bad as I say. Don't. Live your lives to the fullest, don't waste one minute, let alone 98 of them. I did. Twice.
