For Pete's Sake, People, Pluto Nash was a Goo... OKAY Movie!

[Trekker4747]

Honestly! It's a movie I liked! It was irreverent, fun and sort-of entertaining. No it didn't live up to the decade or whatever of pre-production that was behind it and it wasn't a great movie. But, dammit, I actually did like it! But I sometimes tend to like "bad" movies like that.

So who else is with me? Who else actually sort-of liked Pluto Nash?

 

[Hound of UIster]

One of these movies only to be enjoyed by those that are both blind and deaf.

 

[Saga]

and Highlander 2 was epic i tell you! EPIC!

 

[Gaith]

Rabin of the AV Club calls it boring even from a bad movie perspective.

I'm frankly not convinced that there's such thing as a "so bad, it's good" sort of movie. Even the movies I enjoy that have junky reputations (LXG, Fired Up) I'll readily defend as more good than bad.

 

[GalaxyX]

You know, I haven't seen this yet. What exactly is so bad about this movie?

 

[Mr Light]

I only saw this movie once many years ago but I don't remember it being terrible, just not funny and a little boring.

 

[FalTorPan]

The movie wasn't very funny, but it was somewhat entertaining, and I liked the production design of the various environments on the moon.

We talking renegade version or quickening?

Quickening. i've never seen the renegade version.

Quickening. i've never seen the renegade version.

I made the mistake of watching the "renegade" version once when I spotted it on one of the pay channels. Even after everything I had heard about Highlander 2, I was like "How bad could this movie possibly be?"

Let's put it like this. There is NO salvageable movie anywhere in there.

But I digress. To the topic of this thread, I can only say that I remember seeing the trailer at a drive-in and being mildly interested. I've never seen Pluto Nash.

 

[Saga]

i've watched Highlander 2 twice. once was enough, the second time was against my will. never again lol.

Nope, not at all and you know what, that's the great thing about having an opinion, you have yours, I have mine, yet mine is more important to me than yours, so that's what opinion in my opinion is right.

 

[cylkoth]

Was it better than Battlefield Earth?

Now there's a bad movie if ever there were one...

 

[ManOnTheWave]

At least Battlefield Earth made me laugh.

 

[Mark_Nguyen]

You're lucky. Battlefield Earth made me puke.

As for Pluto Nash, it's so infamously good that the crib note sheets from Eddie Murphy's agent expressly forbid any media interviews from asking about that movie. I did in fact watch it and it wasn't THAAAAAT bad, or at least nowhere near some truly awful movies. Murphy was uncharacteristically straight-laced, rare for him, and the move did have some interesting SF concepts saddled with some genuinely poor execution. Still, I'd re-watch Pluto Nash before any movie with Eddie Murphy in a fat suit.

Indeed and I'd watch it before Battlefield Earth. I really liked Randy Quaid's android character in PN and yeah it had, here and there, some good Sci-Fi concepts and production design.

It's certainly better than pretty much any comedy Eddie Murphy has done in decades.

 

[Nowhere Man]

Poor Pete I never saw this movie. No comment.

I liked Pluto Nash if only for the scene when the main characters were considering having their bodies reconstructed. I would have so much fun with that. I dislike every single aspect of my body, with the exception of my belly button (which I'm glad is an "innie") and that my earlobes are "attached".

 

[timothy]

pluto nash was worse than ghost dad and battlefield earth put together .

 

[Alex1939]

I thought it was just pretty boring. I don't see it as the worst of all time as many make it out to be.
