Well hang on a second. I saw the movie once a long time ago before I read Romeo and Juliet and I thought it was comical, but still stupid. But then I watched it again a few years later, after I had read the book, and this time it was tolorable, and definitely not the WORST movie I've ever seen. There was a reason behind using the original script yet making the setting modern; it draws parrellelisms with the universality of the themes between the fueding families, and... I'm just going to stop there. There's no reason I should bring analysis that belongs in my IB English class into the Chief Delphi forums. But yeah, it wasnt exactly the best of movies, but perhaps the word "abomination" is too harsh. People are allowed to have different interpretations of Shakespeare, and
Romeo + Juliet was just that.
To put my 2-cents in for the worst movie I've ever seen, it would have to be
Event Horizon. I rented it looking for something interesting, and when I saw the title I figured it had something to do with the event horizon in astrophysics terms (you know, the point of no return when you're entering a black hole, theoretically). It turned into a psychological suspence mystery extreme horror film with waaaay too much blood and gore in the end, to the point where it was just incoherent. I have a friend who watched it with me and said it was the biggest waste of his time ever. I have another friend who is terrified of the movie; its the only one that gives him nightmares. I guess I'm somewhere inbetween. But anyways, it all depends on the person.
