Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Unintentionally laughable at times...
I disagree with another review that said this was the worst movie ever made by Taylor-Burton. This wasn't that great, but having seen all the Taylor-Burton movies, I have to say that "The Comedians" and "Hammersmith is Out" are the very worst among them, followed closely by "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" (I never saw the appeal of that film). That being said, this movie is still hard to understand. Taylor plays a rich woman who goes to Sardinia every summer, and this particular summer, she's there ... Read More
Rating:  - Bad Cinema With Liz and Dick
Except for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and "The Taming of the Shrew," the cinematic collaborations between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton never caught fire. "Boom!" (1968) remains the worst of the lot. Liz and Dick strike a pose in this pretentiously boring adaptation of a failed Tennessee Williams play, "The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore." Burton's film career survived these lapses in judgment, but Taylor's never recovered. A good supporting cast is buried in the wreckage.
Rating:  - An Over-The-Top Camp Classic of Mind-Boggling Proportions!
While Hollywood has choked the market with bad movies over the years, there are a select few that are so marvelously insane, so hilariously haywire, that they command a cult following: Along side Valley of the Dolls and Showgirls, BOOM! is one of the most delicious film misfires that hurts sooooo good! Just watch it with an audience, or a group of unsuspecting friends, and you'll be in for a night of hilarity of the highest order.
In what Tennessee Williams described as the best Hollywood ... Read More
Rating: - Boom! A great film.
Boom! is a terrific film. A classic from Tennessee Williams. Why isn't this out on DVD?????
Rating: - Stunning and thought provoking
There have been some incredibly astute observations made by some of the earlier posts. Each has their merit and, as we humans have individual tastes, you can't find fault with those that don't appreciate this egregiously overlooked materpiece. Now, whether this film is a masterpiece of art or trash is the debate. Is it so profound and so deep most viewers can't even grasp what's really being offered? Or,is it so "off" it's perfect? For me, this film is simply sublime! It can be deeply admired on so many ... Read More
