This is a divisive movie. For some it is one of the worst movies ever made, others see it as cult classic and for some it ranges somewhere on the so bad it is good scale with possible overlapping to the former views. It was made as spoof /This is a divisive movie. For some it is one of the worst movies ever made, others see it as cult classic and for some it ranges somewhere on the so bad it is good scale with possible overlapping to the former views. It was made as spoof / parody of B-movies and the name of the movie is what you get. Story: Tomatoes become sentient beings and start to attack humans while the humans try to stop them in a dire battle for survival. It is the same story you have seen in other thrillers / monster movies but with killer tomatoes instead. It parodies other movies, tropes and stereotypes of the genre. There is no way in pretending it sounds not silly and hilarious. This is the main deciding factor for anyone. Is this just a really bad movie or hot garbage with huge entertainment value. While I lean more towards garbage I cant also deny that it has some entertainment value even if it is unintentional and nothing the makers should be proud of. I say the movie has its moments. Also it had a really low budget which should give some redemption. Strangely it was successful enough to get 3 sequels (I have only seen 1 of those) and a cartoon series but lets go back to the review. The actors do the best they could with this premise of the movie and I feel bad for them (= I find it unfair to criticize them and wont do it). So I will say they make the most out of the situation. The humor is actually not that bad as the ratings suggest which means it is still not that good or average but some scenes are memorable. Mostly it depends on the viewers so bad it is good taste like the movie itself. I think I go in circles here as I always come up with the same sentence involving the “so bad it is good statement”. Overall this is a bad movie that is enjoyable for some. I see a small part of the appeal that it has for others but it is not enough for me to consider it as cult classic.… Expand
