Unbelievably bad

Saw for the first time last night (June 2013). I'm old enough to have watched EFNY when it was released. It made the best of technology available at the time.

EFLA was HORRIBLE. Characters with no personality (not even Snake), worthless plot, clear use of the easiest locations/sets possible, preschool quality computer animation, and jarring soundtrack. At least EFNY had the repetitive synth theme throughout. I only finished it because I wanted to see how bad it got, which is pretty bad. I couldn't believe it was made in 1996!! With digital effects that bad I was really surprised and disappointed.

Just shaking my head.

TRULY ONE OF THE WORST FILMS EVER MADE

Is this Cheesy, Sure. Is it Great, No. Is it the worst movie ever made, No. Is it Unbelievably bad, No. If anything its Believably Mediocre. Stop Exaggerating. If you think this movie is worst movie ever made. Then Clearly you haven't seen enough movies.

Escape from New York was a great film. Escape from LA is one of the worst pieces of crap ever put on film.

I love it how people are calling it underrated when it's not, it's just a terrible, terrible film.

The only people who could ever like this film are the deaf and dumb community.

How can you spot a vegan or a feminist? You do not have to, they will tell you.
