Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
Even though everybody loves watching a great movie, you kind of get the sense that movie reviewers secretly wait for the terrible movies so they can unleash their creativity. Here are 12 vicious movie reviews, some for movies that may not have deserved them. Can you match the lines to the movies that inspired them?
Take the Quiz: Terrible reviews.

Good quiz. I personally love it when famous reviewers change their reviews down the road. Not sure if Ebert ever changed his reveiw of The Usual Suspects, but he famously gave Braveheart a bad review and 10 years later, rescinded the reveiw.
I could go for another quiz like this one.

Woo hoo! 100% I changed my answers so many times I never thought I’d score well.

Hey!! I got 100%!!! Didn’t think I’d seen that many “bad” movies!
However, Freddie Got Fingered has got to be in the Top 5 WORST movies ever made!

100% – though it took me a while to figure it out.
I’ve only seen 1 of the movies on the list!

Add me to list the list of those who unexpectedly got 100%. It took me a while, I changed my answers a lot and I didn’t see about half of those movies.
Obviously, it’s a well done quiz. :)

Great quiz–not just a “know-it-or-not” sort of thing, but kind of a puzzle, and this from another person who personally has not seen a lot of the movies involved. More please!
