it can't get any worse than this

it's just awful. although the movie is allegedly based on a famous novel by dumas (the three musketeers), the movie violates both the spirit and the plot of the original story. There is no Milady, D'Artagnan's young lover does not die, D'Artagnan does not go on a mission to the UK, and so forth and so on.

What makes the movie truly unwatchable is not just the fact that it has little if anything to do with Dumas's masterpiece, but is the fact that the movie is phenomenally poorly scripted and equally poorly acted.

don't waste your money buying this dvd. it's not worthy. it rarely gets any worse than this.

It worked, was cheaper and was delivered for free, it doesn't get any better than that.

The question is, how much better could this DVD be?  And the answer is none, none more better.

Another terrifying and gripping story from Nicholas Sansbury Smith. Just when you think things couldn't get any worse, they go so very bad for our band of hero's. I can't count the number of times I found myself so immersed in the story I had to take a break. "Edge" was a good title for this book because i was definatley on the edge.
On to book 3 to see where and how our protagonists will make it thru the next nightmare.

I know it had to have been hard to top their self titled debut cd, but I think that this just might have done it. It is filled with a much much angrier sound (if you can imagine that) and there are aren't any bad songs on here. I prefer the older intro to this one, but then the intro just gives a hint of what's waiting on into the cd. The pain filled screams are rampant, along with raging guitars and double bass drums at blistering speeds. Slipknot's is the best thing metal has going for it right now. I have strongly recommended this cd to everyone I know. Fave song is probably "My Plague" or "the Shape" F'n AWESOME!

I disn't think this could be as bad as the reviews said, I was wrong it's much worse.

In any case, the album is superior than the live band, I saw them with STYX at Jones' Beach nearby NYC, and they were so bad, pathetically so bad, and it is one of my all time favorite prog bands. STYX were 100 times superior. Unbelievable, and if they do not make another great album with JON ANDERSON before they completely retire, it will not look so good for them in the rock history books. I am sorry, this is BAD, the guy cannot sing. This record is a manipulation by the producer who actually makes much more money on this record than the rest of the band, re-using his songs that were refused by the Drama Yes period. At the end, whatever amount of money they sell, the producer will make tons of money from producing the record and from the publishing generated by the sale of the album, while the band will be blamed for doing an uninspiring bad record. I would rather follow up now the solo career of Ian Anderson.

the average customer rating for this worthless piece of garbage is most definitely not 4 of 5. look for yourself how many people have rated this with a one and i dare you to disagree with me. the point is, this pathetic excuse for a band must be stopped from producing any more musical pollution. i have been unfortunate enough to hear a few songs from this cd. after listening, i immediately felt the urge to jump from the car in which i was riding. buy yourself some magic lima beans or something but for the sake of saving music from suffient dreadfullness, do not waste a single peso on this ultimate piece of filth.

I've got well over 100 Christmas CDs. The first things that came to mind when I heard this disc were... Awful. Terrible. Boring. Abysmal. Dreadful. Appalling. Sleep and/or vomit inducing. I think you get the idea.
Unfortunately, I couldn't save the review without giving it at least one star. The bad thing is that it doesn't even deserve that. Shame on what's left of this band for subjecting listeners to this dreck. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

OMG! Every time I think it can't get worse Hallie it does. Neil needs to dissappear for good. I love how truths are slowly being revealed. I am anxiously awaiting #5!

It doesn't get any better then this!  A small child who witnessed his parents murder...wants revenge. Enter a cold war nuclear bomb. Now in the hands of Jihad terrorists. Dewey who was supposed to be medically sidelined enters the fray. A sensational , epic action thriller!!

Here it is... the disc where classic rags crawl to die. Honestly, how this disc ever saw the light of day, I'll never know. Imagine, if you will, an average middle school band sight-reading through a dozen or so arrangements of classic rags for the first time and you'll have a pretty good idea of how this CD sounds. The New Orleans Ragtime Orchestra, pioneers though they may have been in recording "classic-style" band arrangements of piano rags in the 1960s, just don't cut it. Everything sounds out-of-tune, and the band lumbers slowly through each tune, with plenty of broken notes and uneven rhythms. These sound more like miserable funeral dirges than the joyous rags I know! Contentment has never sounded less content, Pleasant Moments sounds like a bad case of indigestion, and those "Creole Belles" are now cranky 90-year-old ladies pushing their walkers down the street. I've heard some bad ragtime recordings in my dozen or so years as a collector, but this qualifies as one of the all-time worst. I would give this one star, but the tunes are still recognizeable, and it is still a step above most of the absolute garbage being pumped out of popular music industry today, so I figure I'll err on the generous side and give it two. Give me the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra or the Ophelia Ragtime Orchestra *any* day. Avoid this CD.

I don't recall ever being as disappointed by a CD as I was with this true masterpiece of crap.

10 seconds in, when the music was horrifically off time and faceless, I knew I was in for something bad.  When the vocals started, I nearly cried.  Suggestion for "Mr. Vintersorg" as he so affectionately refers to himself:  Don't try to do death metal vocals with severe laryngitis.  And REALLY don't try to do black metal vocals.

The singing was so bad, it almost took all my attention away from how unfocused and poorly executed the music was.  But it didn't, and that's a testimony to how awful this was.  Just because you can play your instruments fast doesn't mean you can play listenable music.

Then they try to do some softer sections with clean vocals and even acoustic guitars.  The gutteral mess of what came before them takes away any sense of beauty they may have once had.

It's like putting a rotten cherry on a pile of crap and saying "chow down!"

Metal, or music itself just doesn't get much worse than this garbage.

I'm just sad that they only let you go as low as just 1 star.

It is a shameful day when one of the fine bands of the 90's sells out to boy bands such as Backstreet Boys and Hanson. When I first purchased this album I was in complete confidence that this would provide many hours of enjoyment and in this confidence my friend was also excited about this find. The hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life was marriage, but this, this is a close second. As soon as we bought the album it went straight into the cd player. 30 seconds was all it took. 30 seconds per song, and it was done. There is no rocking on this album. My friend is still shell shocked from this horrid, grotesque, disgusting, hell I don't know, whatever this garbage is, don't buy it. You will be ashamed of yourself, and the fact that you were ever a fan in the first place.
