Silas the monk really is the saving grace of that mess.

Yeah. There was so much wasted potential.

Epic Movie
This is a bad movie, but it does have it's moments
The Good:
1.) Any scene with Silas the Monk. This was just so ridiculous and over the top it was kind of hard not to laugh. The dialogue dissonance "speaking calmly while describing how he will horribly dismember someone" was also pretty well executed.
2.) The Willy Wonka Scenes: Again, just so absurd and patently ridiculous (as well as wierd) That it was hard not to laugh.
3.) The Harry potter scenes
4.) The peter and carmen electra scene (my father who hated the movie liked this scene, which sort of counts)
5.) The dwarf kicking kal penn in the balls, and the pirate rap
The Bad: The punked, the middle finger, and most of the other jokes
The Ugly: the superman returns plot (mercifully cut from the theatrical release) even when I was an apologist for the movie I still found this scene utterly inexcusable.
In short, it's a crap movie, but it does have a few good jokes. My advice to the directors would be to cut down the references and focus on the refuge in absurdity.
