Undescribable Perfection

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

It looked like another Sheena/Xena/Amazonian adventure, complete with leather tutu. What it turned into dropped off the category of "mindless entertainment" into something I found painful to watch -- at different points, I wasn't sure it was the same movie. Anachronisms abound. The current score of 4.9 appears the result of ratings at both ends of the spectrum, and not much in the middle.

This is exactly what bad movies are supposed to be: a magnificent accident; bizarre; terrible dialog; insipid acting; but most importantly, uncontrived. Not like that Troma crap. Troma wishes its movies were bad, but all I see are contrivances: people who try to pawn off badly made bad movies as something special, like She. She is everything you want and more. Badly executed scenes for even more badly conceived plot points. Terrible costuming including spiked football helmets intended to look "post- apocalyptic". Male sexual fantasies enacted on screen, masquerading as female empowerment. But through all of it, an effortless "badness" that leaves one questioning, simply, "how?". How did this make it to film? How did it actually get made, and who actually looked at the final cut and said 'yep, it's just like I imagined it. Trust me, this is a golden turd. It's the reason we bother to watch terrible movies.

I'm on the "it's so bad it's almost good" side. I caught part of it late at night years ago and it stuck with me. Parts are simply so weird they're wonderful. I remember some large guy on a white horse wearing a pink tutu. Did that really happen? And the werewolf dance. Fantastic. I also remember that at some point it gave up the ghost and was crappy after that. No matter. One good line can justify ones whole existence: "Your friend seems slightly overenthusiastic." "My friend's an asshole." This is for the person who claimed that "She" was worse than Plan 9 from Outer Space: Plan 9 was the most wretched thing I have ever watched. At one point I had to leave the room. It was during the "if this ping pong ball were the sun and that can of gasoline...." speech. Like Alex in "A Clockwork Orange" I may never recover. "She", on the other hand, has moments of inspired madness.

Okay, now here we have some kind of woman that is suppose to be a god (?) and she's suppose to kill all the eeeevil Norks or something like that. They tried to mix Mad max and Conan and OH MY GOD this is bad. If you want a big laugh or if you are into S&M, this might be a good movie for you...
