Yep, it's like "gaper's block" deliberately slowing down to look at a wreck. This movie is Gloriously Bad. Watching it is just an amazement that the studio had the audacity to pour millions into such a ridiculous production. I mean what was going through the executives heads when they gave the go ahead to a script that contains directions for Captain Nemo to start spinning around doing Kung Fu! I can only imagine how many careers must have gone down the tubes behind the scenes after this Turkey flopped.

No, I'm the same. When I think about this film when I'm not watching it, all I remember is the daft plot, OTT effects and god-awful acting. But if I channel surf and find it on (like I did tonight!) I love it. It is Gloriously Bad - so bad it's good!

Even with all the problems, I can watch "Starship Troopers", and "Battlefield Earth" because I find them bad but entertaining. Same with this movie.

Me too. I think it's one of those 'so bad you can't help but watch' things. Also, I find Shane West very hot in this movie (to this day, when I see him in promos for Nikita or whatever I am both startled he's not a redhead and immediately think "Tom Sawyer!" LOL).
Plus, it's kind of fun to watch Sean Connery bewell, Sean Connery.

I think this movie does not deserve half the bad reviews it get.. its hardly a train wreak of a movie, but its far from a work of art.
I think it was just wrong time wrong place for it.. if it had been 3 or 4 years later when more and more comic books were starting to get made into films and there was a kind of pattern, it probably could have worked. problem is Fox tried to make this their answer to Lord of the Rings, and there was always just going to be one winner in that fight.
I am pretty much the same, I can watch it once, hate it and never want to see it again, yet when tv surfing some while later and come across it, I will be happy to watch it (even if something like 20-40 minutes into it) -

When I first saw this movie I was mesmerized by the characters and action. But I didn't know the origins of this story. My only problem was the Mr Hyde character who should have been dead (since the Moriarty character followed a previously established timeline.) However, after reading the posts I understand that this is an alternate universe. So now I will laugh and better enjoy this movie since it does not represent the actual characters. Sorta like what they did to the Blade character in the movies.
