I mean, in any year the vast majority of rentals were horrible, dumb, over the top silly movies. Seems to be more of a trend with the renting crowd.

[@flaccidusminimus2170]

Indeed, he said during their initial review that it was the closest he had ever come to walking out of a movie! Although, because it was a February release, perhaps he either forgot about it or the passage of time diminished his animosity. I think these shows made much more sense in earlier years when the hosts didn't waste time *ranking* the year's worst (who really cares?) and instead divided the year's greatest offences into trends and categories, only singling out their individual choices for #1 Worst.

Fair point. I find it strange that Ebert wasted time singling out "D.E.B.S." and "Undead". Fast-faders that were barely released, died quickly at the box-office, and that few people had heard of even in 2005. This appears to violate his longstanding rule with Gene Siskel that it wasn't fair to use this annual special to pick on small, obscure movies, only big budget affairs or big star vehicles. "The Amityville Horror" was a major studio movie and (apparently) godawful, with a 1.5 star review from Ebert. It would have been a more appropriate choice for this program.

I would make an exception for the 1993 film version of "The Fugitive" with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. That was well done, and Tommy Lee Jones' performance in particular was brilliant, as his character (the Federal Marshal pursuing Ford, the fugitive) changed subtly during the story in regard to his attitude towards the fugitive. But I would still say that the concept of adapting a classic TV show to the big screen is usually a losing proposition. It is as bad as remaking a classic film that shouldn't be remade, and we have regrettably seen a lot of that through the years! Shame on Hollywood for most remakes -- I say most, not all.

I've seen Constantine and i just did not like it. My cousin's ex girlfriend told me i should watch it and that its good and i wish i can tell her that it was a waste of time.

Fantastic four is not one of the worst movies

[@stefanmovieflixtomasi]

It’s an instant classic. So awesome!

[@unholyperiodza5442]

So better than Fant4stic

[@Xayjohns]

Not at all. I like both of the 2000s F4 movies.

[@Arcademan09]

Son of The Mask was only number 5? Wow

[@gor9027]

Fantastic Four (2005) really wasn’t that bad. The cast carried it to being a solid movie IMO. Watching this, I can only imagine how much Ebert would have hated the FF reboot if he lived to see it.

[@stefanmovieflixtomasi]

I agree with you about the Fantastic Four (2005) version. However, I hate the 2015 reboot.

[@Xayjohns]

I actually like both of the Tim Story Fantastic Four movies.

[@TimmyTickle]

One of his quotes from that review probably would have been a book title

How does Ebert look younger here than he did in the 90s episodes

[@flaccidusminimus2170]

I definitely disagree, but to whatever extent that may be true, it's the result of lost weight and a better diet (he had gone vegetarian by this time). Possibly more makeup too.

Siskel was absorbing his life force.

[@mjgyrosdude484]

Stealth had some good action scenes but agree Jessica Biel's performance was equalvent to having bad constipation!

[@aaoppe]

The classic back-and-forths between Siskel and Ebert was actually great TV in and of itself. They had to stand each other, they didn’t have any other choice. Roeper on the other hand was hand-picked by Ebert himself, and it shows. More lapdog than critic. And somehow excrutiatingly smug.

[@nonamewillbegiven2412]

You say that like Ebert and Siskel wasn't smug themselves

[@sotheresthat7882]

I’m sorry, but being a critic and giving spoilers just because you hate a movie is unconscionable (not to mention incredibly pompous). Not everyone has seen every movie ever made like these guys have, and casual viewers might have actually been surprised. Siskel used to do that, and it always p***ed me off.

[@theman1412]

Siskel definitely would have had “Longest Yard” on his list 😃 (The first 20 minutes of “Guess Who” was decent, after that it was meh)

[@stefanmovieflixtomasi]

If you want better Ashton romcoms, I recommend Just Married and My Boss’ Daughter

[@GlennDavey]

But Constantine is actually really decent with a lot of good performances.

[@littlekingtrashmouth9219]

If you read Ebert’s review, he pretty much summarized the plot without adding any commentary.

[@TheMrfoxguy]

I remember elecktra locking dated when it came out.

[@Robert753951]

DOOM as a DOOM movie it wasn’t that good, but as a action horror movie it was fine and mostly harmless. It’s just average at best, top 10 worst of the year tho? Eh…….. that’s very debatable

[@WorldwideWyatt]

Definitely one of the worst movies of the year

[@waynechapman9823]

First of all, "D.E.B.S." was not that bad of a film. For one thing, Jordana Brewster was terrific in that one! And there's no way that Meryl Streep could work as Daisy Duke for the simple fact that it would be a classic example of miscasting.

Love that chuckle 🤭
