Marcus,
I'm an American. My country's Constitution guarantees freedom of religion. I don't care what religion Mr. Travolta practices.
I do care that he produced and starred in a film that is full of plot holes, bad dialogue, and characters that do things that don't make any sense.
The best science fiction movies, indeed, the best movies, period, have no plot holes, good dialogue, and characters that do things for reasons that the audience will understand.
Battlefield Earth is, by any standard, a rotten movie.

Mr. Ebert is a prominent American critic who has won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism. He can explain far more eloquently than I can why Battlefield Earth is a steaming pile of excrement.

..Wrong - Im danish. My city unfortunately is the site for Scientologys european headqurters, so maybe the logic just is that everyone confronted with Scientology (and common sense still intact) knows, and hates Scientology for being the dangerous, brainwashiing cult that it is.
As for the movie, if you focus on the relation to scientology or not, it is really bad, and a waste of time.
I wonder what xenu.net is? -

As the title says, I think all strong criticizers of this movie are americans because
Wrong
by reading the hollow arguments, I understand that scientology doesn't have a good reputation in the US. Is my guess correct? I believe so.
wrong
The movie doesn't deserve the criticism it has received.
wrong
The american people is generally a very hateful one towards those with a different opinion, and the reactions to this movie is a good example of that.
wrong
I don't mind if you take me for a racist, because it doesn't change the fact that I'm not.
altrough personal opinions does not make your a racist it can easily, and in this case does, show your lack of intellect.I've been vandalized by Elvis! -Ernest, Ernest Goes to Jail (1990)

I had not heard of Scientology when I first saw this movie and I still found it awful. The widespread dislike for this movie has nothing to do with religion or nationalities, it's just a poorly made movie.

I can agree that parts of America has some very funny views.
But that's not the reason this movie has recieved negative criticism.
It's poorly acted, visually revolting and the plot is just plain stupid.
Go watch the Nostalgia critic's take on it if you want it torn to pieces in more detail.
Also, stop sullying the reputation of our country, you trolling prick.
(That's Sweden I'm refering to, not America.) -

Get real. Battlefield Earth is a horrible movie and it deserved all the razzies it got. I saw this movie when it came out back in the day, and i knew nothing about scientology, hell i didint even have an internet connection untill several years later. Its not only americans that disslike/hate this movie, every logical and rational thinking person sees what this is, a money grab. And if you know the story Franchise Pictures were sued for fraud for this film and had to pay 121,7$ and went into bankruptcy. I hate/disslike this movie for the same reasons as any other person. And i am not american, i am scandinavian like you.
Peace. -

No! This movie sucks no matter what country you come from. I mean this movie is a bad, terrible, horrible mess that I saw once and am trying to forget. The acting was bad, the story was bad. You have to be stupid to believe that primitive people would learn how to fly AV-8 Harriers in such a short time. This movie is bad on so many levels it's pitiful. You can't blame people not liking it on where they're from. I suppose that if this movie were made in 1842 it would be lauded for it's special effects but it was made in 2000 and it sucks!

Oh shove it up your ass. Some of Scientology's biggest opponents are in GERMANY, idiot. Lots of other countries don't even recognize it, and it has been refused religious status in a lot of those countries.
And I guess you don't notice your own hypocrisy, where you are being hateful towards Americans for not agreeing with your opinion. So Americans are bad because they don't agree with your opinions, but you are good because you don't agree with Americans' opinions. You're so logical!
Here is a question, how many people outside of the US have seen this movie? Maybe six people! And if you have to say you are not a racist, you probably are.
And I would rather have people who are "strong criticizers" than milquetoasts that will just accept any horrible crap they are given. It means they are smart enough to have critical faculties.
And what are these "hollow arguments?" Things like, they abuse dutch angles? The aliens are functionally retarded? The plot makes no sense? The awful dialogue? THE PLANES? For somebody who cannot even defend the movie except by "strongly criticizing" the people who don't like it, you sure are quick to say other people's criticisms don't count. -

This movie is garbage.
As a Swede you have your own problems to worry about, not the US public criticizing crappy movies:
