What will be the summer's biggest bomb?
Every summer we have lots of hits but also a lot of movies that bomb pretty badly. What do you think will be the summer's "Gigli" or "Battlefield Earth" of these picks, or name your own?
Generally the criteria is something that cost a good bit of moolah, has a well known cast or special effects, and basically has something to lose. A small indie film like "Garden State" bombing isn't really the same kind of thing.

Tough choice, I still haven't decided, I mean this summer has the potential for more bombs than any other recent one I can remember (watch someone prove me wrong though). Personally I feel nothing for any of those movies, not an ounce of excitement.

I'd say Garfield but considering how well Scooby Doo did, I'm betting the cat will bring in decent money.
I say Catwoman. Of course people might go to see it to see Halle Berry in the ripped leather outfit.

I also don't see how "Mean Girls" can be considered a bomb. It cost about a buck and a half to make and it's made almost $43 million in just two weeks.

Looks like it's gonna be a decisive victory for Catwoman. That and the victory it will have at the razzies.
Catwoman screams CRAP!
If not for Catwoman I would have either chosen King Arthur or Garfield.
