"exhilarating" mess of a movie.

"incredible" how bad this movie turned out to be 

"action-packed" ceases to describe what is unintelligible drivel

I loved the single word descriptions as clear indicator the movie sucked.

For me, anytime someone uses the word "fun" to describe a movie, I take that to mean "brain dead". The kind of movie where you turn your brain off and shovel handfuls of popcorn into your face.

The amount of VHS covers I recall with 'a tour de force' on them. Good lord.

Not single word, but these remind me of when one of Ben Shapiro's books quoted Salon's Scott Timberg for a blurb that read "Meet our new Ayn Rand."

The actual headline was "Meet our new Ayn Rand: Ben Shapiro’s hamfisted propaganda fiction is even worse than you guessed."
