BAHAHAHAH!

You know, it's actually kind of sad that that is so true.

LOL!

So true ... I saw the movie with my dad when it came out in theatres. Ugh, what a waste of cash.

"Why do I look liek an effette Parisian model?" That line made me burst out loud laughing. For the record I enjoyed Nemesis as a mindless popcorn movie. But reading that review was a revelation in just how awful some of the plot points were.

You know, I hadn't realized the full depth of this craptitude. You could make a film out of every crappy Anakin scene laced together, and it would still be better than that.

Um, wow.

I enjoyed it, but I went to the theater having already decided to switch my brain off and just watch the special effects. A good decision, in retrospect.

My god, was it really that fucking bad?

I've read fan fics that where better! Hell, the vs Fanfic on Graham Kennedy's website was better!

Someone needs to 'cure the cancer' that is the current executive writing staff for Star Trek to give the franchise a chance

If you'd actually read "Portal", you'd never have said such a thing, even in jest.

Mike Wong, the slowest reviewer in the west. :P

Meh, I never saw the movie, but from what I've read, it sucks and badly.

Perhaps because you were trying not to throw up because of the movie?

So damn true on every count. I found Nemesis to be enjoyable if you pretend you've never seen Star Trek before, forget all your common sense in exchange for video-game-with-cheat-codes-on physics, and..yeah.

It's funny that Mike puts this up today because yesterday I was at the mall and stopped by the Hallmark store to look at the ornaments. I had to supress a not very nice smile when I saw that one of the Trek ornaments was of the Scorpian. :) That little piece of crap "fighter" that Picard and Data stole. I think the ornament comes with Picard and Data inside.
