I’m not saying it’s a great film, but I don’t think it is crap either- yet I reckon it was forever stigmatised by the publicity about it going massively over budget.
At the time it was very big news- I can’t think of many other films that had so many newspaper column inches devoted to it well before it was released, and for matters unrelated to its merits as a film. It kind of became a laughing stock, which seems a bit of an overblown reaction when seen nowadays. But then I guess it really cost a lot of money at the end, even by today’s standards.
Anyways, most definitely not crap in my book.
