They couldn't get enough of it. Critics all blasted it as the worst thing ever.Then I watched it, and it was a fun action flick with a bit of a heavy handed message and simple plot. There wasn't anything in it that really bothered me. The world building was pretty good, the hero ship looked amazing, and it had a lot of good stunts. An okay action flick.When I think of bad movies, I don't think of Waterworld. I think of Batman & Robin, The Starwars prequels, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull... or Wonder Woman '84, and yes, The Hobbit trilogy. Big disappointments and wastes of money, made by directors that have made good movies.Heck, I'll even defend The Room; every armchair critic's favorite punching bag. Because atleast it wasn't a huge waste of money, or made by an experienced director.</blockquote>
