yu-gi-oh no!

crap anime moviewas taking a quick look through rottentomatoes at the movie review summaries and found this new anime movie with an amazingly low 2% rating. some choice comments from the critics:

"i took one for the team this week ... if your kid is a yu-gi-oh fan, then god help you."

"i sacrificed 90 minutes of my life points to sit through this and nothing i can summon is going to make up for that."

"adults: if your child forces you to go to yu-gi-oh!, remember that there's no law against ipods in movie theaters."

"if your pulse quickens when you hear lines like, 'not so fast! i still have two cards face down, and they'll bring down your life points to a measly 1000!', then yu-gi-oh is the movie you've been waiting for all summer."

"beyond the clear aim of getting kids to separate their parents from cold hard cash in exchange for... yu-gi-oh game cards... the film is thoroughly incomprehensible..."

now i know what movie i *won't* be seeing today!

Haha, 2%???

I think I remember checking out that Ballistic: Ecks VS. Seyer (not sure about the spelling there) film on rottentomatoes.com once. And well, those Yu Gi Oh film makers can be consoled by the fact that this film got a whopping 0%.

Geesh. ;P

i never managed to see eeks vs sever, fortunately. just checked out the ratings for it- a 1% cuz someone (one person) actually liked it!

battlefield earth - 4%
gods and generals - 9% (oops... just bought the dvd)
superbabies: baby geniuses 2 - 0% "has no redeeming qualities", "one of the worst comedies ever"
