So ineptly made, impassioned, and utterly crazy that it's beautiful to behold. Absolutely not to be missed
4	irvinejump	75 _72nd
Bad acting, bad script, bad special , bad direction and yet STILL more entertaining than dozens of films with budgets ten times as big

One of the worst movies I've ever seen from pretty much any way you look at it. But despite that it's actually pretty charming, especially after watching Ed Wood. Worth a look for sure.
3	prowler	70 _69th
this is a truly entertaining, funny and ambitious movie. of course it fails in most aspects, but the way it does that turns it into an amazing movie in a way ed wood probably never intended. i've seen this twice and intend to come back to it soon. burton's Ed Wood made me appreciate it even more

YOUR STUPID MINDS.

By all accounts Tor Johnson died alone of heart failure, oh, and Vin Diesel is a millionaire.
2	MartinTeller	75 _54th
Yes, its amateurish inadequacies are well-documented, and very very true. But fuck it, it's a minor miracle to get ANY movie made, especially with just a few friends and zero budget. It's rather entertaining in its own right, and you can feel that there is a certain passion for the material. It's mostly a lot of fun, both because of and despite all its ineptitudes. Wood actually pulls off a few interesting shots, some of the performances aren't that bad, and the score is really quite good.

We once laughed at the horseless carriage, the aeroplane, the telephone, the electric light, vitamins, radio, and even television! And now some of us laugh at outer space. God help us... in the future.
2	djross	25 _7th
Nearly any score is justifiable for this movie.
2	Dorkovsky	5 _59th
I'm not someone who generally likes watching "so bad they're good" films, but this was really quite fascinating. By any "objective" standard, this has absolutely no merit, but that won't stop me from having a good time. I might even watch it again... with beer of course.
2	Spunkie	70 _84th
Pun intented...maybe not by Ed Wood but...
2	JooJoo	5 _80th
People who rate this in their lowest tier have no conception of what a truly bad movie is. There's a plot, it's not sluggishly paced, things actually happen - may not sound like much, but it's already an improvement from the 'worst of the worst'. And the worst of this movie just fits into my entertainment zone so I've got very little qualms here.

Get ready for some of the worst acting, writing, directing, production design you'll ever see; Regardless, I found this film to be strangely endearing. Having seen some great films lately, it was nice to sit back and enjoy a film that doesn't require your utmost attention. That cockpit, lmfao.
2	BillyShears	50 _21st
This movie is too charming.

Don't let the rating fool you - I absolutely adore this movie, but I cannot in good conscience give it a high rating. Woefully awful in every possible way? Absolutely. But this is pretty much the Godfather of unintentional comedy.
2	glumpy_99	59 _16th
While of course in many ways technically inept, this is far from the worst of the worst as is its reputation, (Wood's got nothing on Wiseau) and even manages to mix some knowing winks in amongst what seem to be unintentional howlers (Johnson's "live" performance is somewhat amazing). Of course you have to get past Lugosi/not Lugosi, and some overripe performances from the "visitors", but it's hard to hate too much on a movie created from such clear enthusiasm from behind the camera.

No matter how entertaining this film is, no matter how much love and effort Ed Wood put into it, no matter how interesting the concept, this is still a complete mess. Anyone who says it's the worst, however, needs to look harder. Funniest part? Off the top of my head, probably the off-screen death of Bela's "character". Stop, look and listen, mate.
2	Yiannos	53 _31st
Ed Wood's 'badness' has been somewhat overstated. His films are too damn entertaining to dismiss offhand, but the so-bad-it's-good crowd are too caught up in their own ironic mode of spectatorship to really appreciate his wayward appeal. It's clearly laughable for many reasons (cheap sets, poor performances, ridiculous dialogue etc), but it's also memorable. From Criswell reading his opening monologue from cue cards to the crooked shot configurations, Plan 9 is singular, for better or worse.
1	TripleSH	85 _80th
So bad it's good. You've heard it before about this film, I'm sure, but this is unintentional comedy at its absolute finest. Thank you, Mr. Wood...thank you.
1	ServantDagon	32 _4th
Quite charming, really. And I'm also pretty sure there are worse films around.
1	Pickpocket	5 _44th
Incredibly disappointing. I was expecting the worst movie ever made and was pleasantly surprised to find something with some charm that was, at times, unintentionally hilarious. I have to say though that the aliens were incredibly uncreative, but you could blame it on the budget. Some scenes were really terrible but it wasn't a total waste of time. Ending is delightfully terrible: "can you prove this really didn't happen?" lol
1	teknicolor	65 _54th
Bunny really does add a level of gravitas to the movie. A classic, regardless of whether or not you'd call it "good".
1	PeaceAnarchy	45 _4th
Terrible production values but it's actually not that terrible and certainly enjoyable as a cheesy B movie.
1	joseywales	75 _73rd
The benchmark by which all other bad 50's Sci-Fi will be measured. Tor Johnson generates a laugh every time he's on screen.
1	Suture Self	2 _13th
It doesn't really matter how you score this movie.
1	Anomaly	45 _15th
A hard movie to rate - it's terrible, but it's so insanely entertaining I can't give it a very low rating. Burton's Ed Wood film gives this a ton of context, and should ideally be watched as a companion piece to this.
1	la boheme	90 _88th
One of the worst movies ever made, don't let the high rating fool you - but that's exactly why it's worth watching. The startling ineptitude makes for a rollicking comedy.
1	vigo	65 _19th
This movie is a very tough cookie. It's amateurishly made, full of even the most obvious mistakes, but it a lot of fun watching this movie. A lot of unintended humour stems from the fact that it desperately tries to take itself seriously, turning itself into a comedic farce. Plan 9 has been named the worst movie of all time, but I really can not agree with it, because it has a lot of entertaining qualities, despite its amateurishness. Truly bad movies are those which have no redeeming qualities.
1	Prophet92	9 _3rd
In an honest review...this is a bad movie. On the other hand, it's so hilariously inept that it's really fun to watch. Get some friends, watching this alone is agony.
1	WWallce4prez	20 _1st
While it certainly isn't good, Wood's darling has its heart in the right place. I've seen recent Hollywood output that is less enjoyable.
1	CosmicMonkey	30 _2nd
A film so terrible I could have given this film the lowest rating possilbe. Yet, this is a film that grows on you - like a child's fingerpainting. It in no way represents "high" art, yet it is adorable enough you still can post it onto your fridge. Cute, unintentially hilarious, and a success in the pulp film genre.
1	Piglet	70 _59th
Laugh-out-loud funny. Contradicting itself plot-wise throughout, horrible acting, terrible special effects and a very cheesy voice-over make this a great experience if you don't take it seriously.
1	mwgerb	16 _5th
This actually is a pretty good concept. It was just let down by the bad special effects. And scientific inaccuracies. And awful, repetitious dialog. And a bit of alien misogyny. And terrible, shoddy acting. And the atrocity of exploiting a dead film legend. You know, little things.
1	FrederikA	5 _1st
Sure, it's hilariously poorly made, but it's also so very dull.
1	VinegarBob	5 _5th
There's really nothing good about this, but it's no worse than 50 other movies I can think of with 1000 times the budget.
1	edsu	1 _4th
almost too good
1	pMGomes	75 _50th
i know i should vote lower, but i just can't!!
1	katelyn	80 _48th
It was a pretty terrible movie, but it was winsome.
1	chmul_cr0n	43 _11th
Considering the budget, it's not bad. On a technical level, that is. But I don't see any imagination, creativity or artistry in this. Just a guy, who likes stories and movies, but doesn't understand how either of them work. He knows how movies are made and could've probably pull off a bland, but well-crafted studio picture, if someone had let him. But this is just not bad enough to be laughable or entertaining. Just unimaginitive, lame, boring and really tiresome to watch.
1	FoxyRussian	0 _0th
Bad in every aspect, from plot, to characters, to direction, to special effect, to acting. The first 10 minutes are novel because the movie is so bad it's funny, but after that there's still 60 minutes left in a movie that feels like 2 hours. It was so boring it was hard to watch the last half.
1	Sheldrake	80 _86th
Rewatch. Definitely one of the funniest movies ever made, intentional or not. Both the aliens, who never keep the same motivation between acts, and the humans, who seem to simply get stupider as the movie rolls on, don't come out looking good. That the aliens accuse humans of being aggressive idiots who don't look where they're going is followed by our lead punching them in the faces without provocation is simply delightful. They don't make 'em like this anymore.
1	MacSwell	10 _1st
It's the most infamous Z-movie ever made but its greatest flaw is actually how boring it is, with the cast's diabolical acting and Wood's all-encompassing ineptitude inviting only the most sporadic chuckle. It's far from being the worst film of all time though.
1	backwardsuit	83 _86th
It's almost impossible for me not to love this movie for its genuine passion for filmmaking. Mr. Wood has my sincere respect. More filmmakers like him please.
