Mystery Men (1999)
1/10
They spent US$70,000,000 on this rotter??

Great cast of talent, huge budget, good possibilities for satire/parody/dumbfun... instead, we have this irritating provocation. I'm a couch potato type who can watch most things on screen/TV, be it Hindi comedy, Islamic prayers, Hong Kong "God of Shaolin Soccer/Gamblers/CashPig/Stockbroker/Pretentiousness", party political broadcasts, Michael Bay films... A B-film at best, the terrible waste of the comedic and acting talent, and their apprant willingness to allow themselves to crawl at such a level, is topped by the alleged budget for this failure. I watched this 'movie' on HBO with an open mind, never having heard of it previously, and set time aside based on the synopsis and the big name stars it featured. I was so p***ed off with deciding to persist to the end of the show that I actually watched an episode of "Walker Texas Ranger" and appreciated its better quality. 5/10 if it was a low-budget straight-to-video no-name cable movie. 0/10 for the enormous consumption of the Earth's resources it actually is.
