The Words I Never Expected to Say
A new movie has come along to displace The Village as being the worst movie I’ve ever seen. No longer can I make jokes about how something wasn’t as bad as The Village as I’ll have to start using this new movie now. In fact, I managed to sit through all of The Village which is more than I can say about this movie. It’s pretty sad, especially since I had such high hopes for District 9.
I sat there for 45 minutes and really, really tried to like District 9. Unfortunately, the movie did everything it possibly could in order to be as boring as possible. The main character had absolutely zero reason to like him (zero reason to hate him too, so it was like he served no purpose), there was no draw into the story to make you care about anything that was going on, and the documentary style that so much of it was done in presented a boring look at boring action. The Village, I must apologize for calling you the worst movie ever all these years; at least you tried to have somewhat of an interesting plot (even if it was the stupidest twist ever at the end). My score: 1.5/10.
