What were the year's worst movies?

A. O. Scott, Elvis Mitchell and Stephen Holden recently sat down to survey the wreckage….

HOLDEN But the worst movie, undoubtedly – and all the critics agree with me – was "Gods and Generals." And to sit through four hours of it! It was absolutely ludicrous in every way.

SCOTT And oddly, audiences didn't go for it.

HOLDEN They promoted it quite well –

SCOTT And it was still a bomb.

HOLDEN A total, total bomb.

[LRC reviewers had a different view, of course.]
