O Fantasma (2000)
2/10
Not even worth a rental
11 February 2006
I'm still only vaguely aware of the point of this movie. The actors are all borderline mutes, and it just drags on endlessly with little to no plot. If the film were shorter, it might have been tolerable, but since it weighs in at an hour and a half, I found my mind wandering more often than not. I don't imagine this is the worst movie ever, but it's certainly the worst movie I have ever seen.

Some people have said this is just porn disguised as art, which is a suggestion that confuses me. There is one blowjob scene and a lot of nudity, but beyond that, there's nothing here that you wouldn't see in your average R-rated film. There are no explicit sex scenes, and even if there were, you could get a decent porn flick for less money that focused more on them and less on people wandering around aimlessly with no direction. What little sex there is usually gets abruptly ended before it's over, half the time before it even starts.

Perhaps the one saving grace that may justify renting this is the main actor, who is very sexy. Of course, finding someone sexier in a movie that's actually worth watching would not be hard, but if you absolutely must see more of the guy on the cover of this DVD, I could see using that excuse to pick it up. Just be prepared to use your remote a lot… or simply go to the special features and watch the eye candy section rather than the movie itself.
