Ed Wood lives! Absolutely wretched on almost every level. The
special effects crew should be proud -- there is one scene
involving the spectacular destruction of an entire planet that is
pretty breathtaking -- but every one else should remain in
seclusion. Or at least buy one of those fake nose and mustache
kits in case they need to get out to the store. Completely inept
direction, laughably cliched and ponderous dialog, plot holes you
could fly a starship through, embarrassingly poor acting... I felt
uncomfortably sorry for Forest Whittaker -- I hope it was a decent
paycheck at least. What else can I say? Compared to this, The
Postman is Citizen Kane. If you already thought that to be the case,
then go ahead and give this a try. Otherwise, steer clear. Oh, and
of course the ending leaves everything WIDE open for the
possibility of a sequel. Heaven help us all!
