The Worst Screenplay Ever

The screenplay of the movie, "Meet Joe Black," is one of the worst screenplay ever to be made into a production, to graze the big screen. The screenplay of the recent pathetic movie, "Legions" followed in the same steps.

Top ranking madness! When a writer's ideas run dry like that, they should rather die, than exhibit shameful folly like that!

A bubbly gushing spring of creative ideas and real art, be it in story telling, painting, music, sculpture or poetry, is something that no amount of money can buy!

"Meet Joe Black", actually performed by some of the best actors of the time, but even their good performance could not save that sinking ship of a story. Sorry Bradd Pitt, sorry Athony Hopkins, your acceptance to partake in that dying horse of a story, how human you are after all, who also err. Don't we get dazzled sometimes and sort of forget that you are!

Written by four people, Bo Goldman, Ron Osborn, Jeff Reno and Kevin Wade, that story was! "Too many cooks, spoil the broth", so the old gag proves true eh?

A powerful beginning, the movie starts with, then just after the first quarter, the plot is lost! Never to be recovered again!

A typical example of what happens when the imagination and ideas go stale.
