Wow, you know a movie's gonna be bad when its director describes it as "stupid" and a "terrible experience".

Sci-fi thriller's high ideas are buried under the rubble


Someone recently described "Babylon A.D." as being "pure violence and stupidity," and that "parts of the movie are like a bad episode of '24.'''

It sounds like a quote from a scathing critical review, taking the film to task for its dumbed down, derivative aesthetic. But it's not - it's a quote from the director himself, Mathieu Kassovitz, taken from an interview for AMCtv.com.

Kassovitz goes on to describe a nightmare production, saying, "I never had a chance to do one scene the way it was written or the way I wanted it to be. The script wasn't respected. Bad producers, bad partners, it was a terrible experience." When a film's director tells you his movie is terrible, you know something's wrong.

Just another example of movie studios thinking they know better than the director..wish studios would back off and let people create the films they need to make. not like i would have saw this movie anyway.
