Battlefield Earth was a major commercial failure and critical flop and has been widely dismissed as one of the worst films ever made.

Bad , with a capital ''B'' .Travolta peaked wuth Vinnie Barbarino and its been all downhill since .He couldn't carry a tune much less a movie .Very bad film .
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, it is Bad. Here's one where I join the unanimous verdict of the critics. Travolta was never a favorite of mine while he was peaking, and this was such a disaster. Not even funny.
