Mystery Science Theatre 3000: Manos, The Hands of Fate
Oh boy, where do I start.... I guess I'll start off by reviewing the film itself. Manos, Hands of fate is THE LOWEST RATED MOVIE EVER on imdb.com and justifyably so. It sucked!!! Terrible acting, terrible plot, terrible everything. On it's own merit, I'd give Manos an F. (Which is the lowest grade I've ever given anything I reviewed on here. Even House of the Dead got a D- I think. (I could be wrong. That one may have gotten an F too.)
Okay, now to the upside... I didn't have to watch Manos on it's own merit. I had Joel, Crow and the other robot (forgot his name) throwing in their witty comments to amuse me. If anyone's ever seen MST3K, they watch really bad, really low budget sci-fi films and rip on them the whole time. It's pretty funny in general but being that the movie was SO bad this time, this has to be one of their best epsiodes. With the MST3K crew's commentary, I'd give it a B-.
Next up: Haute Tension, The Changeling, and Ichi the Killer
