Is "Miracle at St. Anna" the WORST war movie of all time?

So the wife convinced me to give it a shot a while back and I could barely finish it. It has to be the absolute worst war film every made in the history of cinema.

Spike Lee does such a horrible job with this movie that I do not know where to even begin. I still don't know what the freaking miracle was, or maybe that the movie actually got the green light. Joseph Gordan Levitt or even dumb arse John Leguizamo should have never taken any part in this atrocity! I think it is a slap in the face to all of our Grandparents and relatives who fought in WWII.

With that being said, screw you Spike Lee

It was pretty atrocious. I'm sure there are worse out there, but probably not many. Admittedly though, I hate all Spike Lee films.

The Red Baron (2008) - is so bad it makes Flyboys look like Saving Private Ryan.

From what I've seen, I'll give it a tie with Windtalkers. I had to turn Miracle off after the first battle scene. Looked like a Youtuber filmed it.

I will have to rate Windtalkers slightly above this one. Nothing is worst than the last scene in miracle.

Windtalkers and the Mel Gibson one were especially horrible.

At least the film had a guy carrying around a statue head in a bag therefore I nominate Pearl Harbor as worst ever all time.

I'm never going to see MaSt.A but it is really hard to imagine it being worse than this. It felt like Days of our Lives made a war movie. Ugh.

I turned Miracle at St. Anna off after 20 minutes. I just couldn't get into it. And I love war movies.
