Bad bad or entertaining bad?

I give it entertaining bad. It's got some unintentional laughs in it.

After hearing about how bad the film is for years I finally watched it a little while back. I'm not sure it's actually a bad movie at all. It's not great, but it seemed fine. It struck me as an interesting premise that was competently executed and the result was a fairly entertaining film.

If it's bad, it's "bad" in the way that Alexander is bad, and I don't really think that Alexander is bad either. It's just not great and was underwhelming considering the talent involved.

I liked this one, it's like a theme park ride; not much in terms of substance but it's entertaining.

I rewatched it about a month ago. I think if they hammed up the performances, it could have been a little more interesting.

Thought it was decent and had some cool ideas and set pieces. It definitely had some silly moments, but I would give it a 6/10.

I saw this in the theatre and thought it was entertaining badness. There's something frustrating about it.
