Movies Roger Ebert Hates
From bad Elvis to Deuce Bigalow, these are excerpts from reviews of some of the worst movies he’s [Roger Ebert] ever seen…It’s not just their measly ratings — from zero to 1.5 stars — but what Ebert has to say about them that really conveys their true awfulness.
An excerpt:
I hated this [North] movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it.
I was pleasantly surprised to find his opinion of The Usual Suspects was similar to my own:
Once again, my comprehension began to slip, and finally I wrote down: “To the degree that I do understand, I don’t care.”

I thought The Usual Suspects was quite good… :(
