I'm kind of thinking the same thing. I know everybody says it's gonna suck. How could so many people be wrong? And yet I've heard things so bad about it I just can't imagine it. I really need to see this for myself to gain a true appreciation of the movie's suckiness.

ROfL 4% some of the quotes are awesome.

Yeah, I guess this quote sums it up for you. ;)

"So overwrought, overacted and overwhelmingly inept that it must be seen to be believed."

Edit: LOL, I love this quote from Ebert:
"Battlefield Earth is like taking a bus trip with someone who has needed a bath for a long time. It's not merely bad; it's unpleasant in a hostile way."

Hmm well I can say I expected it could have been worse. I mean I did finish it. Granted I had truly nothing else to do and I've turned off movies for less offensiveness but I have seen at least a couple of movies worse before.

It really was bad though, especially when the harrier squadron showed up.

Also I like how an alien in the year 3000 from another planet entirely uses the term "Don't blow a head gasket". Clearly this movie was low budget and if it wasn't well it definitely seemed like it. Travolta's worst movie ever but then I'm not saying anything that hasn't already been said. Very disagreeable.
