Review of Rollerball

Rollerball (2002)
1/10
THE Worst
17 August 2006
Warning: Spoilers
I'm the sort of person who loves watching bad movies, and I've been trying to see this movie for years because of its reputation. Now that I've seen it, I can say that it is THE WORST movie I have ever seen. Forget Manos the Hands of Fate, Plan 9 from Outer Space, From Justin to Kelly, Battlefield Earth or whatever - this movie takes it. It is HORRIBLE. I think it features some of the worst cinematography and poorest editing I have ever seen, and I don't really understand why because the individuals involved in this movie (Director, Editors, Cinematography) are not really bad at what they do (at least if their other movies are any proof) . There are sequences included in this movie where you'll be looking at an unfocused close-up of a character you've never seen, followed by a cut to a totally unrelated scene, then another cut to an unfocused close-up of another random character that you'll never see again, with half of their face in frame for about 1 second before they move out of frame and there's another cut to an unrelated situation.

I have never even written a review before on IMDb but I just *had* to write one about this movie. The only thing moderately enjoyable about this movie is the DVD commentary, which features LL Cool J rambling on about random topics and complaining when he gets blown up before the end of the movie. Unlike most bad movies that are at least fun to watch because of how horrible they are, this movie is beyond laughably bad, it's simply UNWATCHABLE. See it only if you want to be assured that you've seen THE WORST MOVIE to ever hit theaters.
