"What makes this a legend and an icon among the multitudes of bad movies? That it is entertaining, despite (or because of) all its faults, must be a significant reason. People watch films to be entertained. Ed Wood's masterpiece is definitely entertaining. The dialog in "Plan 9 from Outer Space" is priceless. Sometimes it even makes sense. Most of the time it flies completely in the face of reason or contradicts things we watched. Eros' explanation of how the solarmanite bomb works, using a gas can and old rags in the analogy, is really funny. In almost every case, the preposterous lines are delivered with utmost sincerity. The commander that Eros and Tanna report to at intervals is an exception to that rule. He seems nonplussed and even rolls his eyes after one choice exchange."
My personal view
When I was watched this movie for the first time with my classmates, I was like “what is this? Do we call this as a ‘movie’?”… That was my personal view towards this movie. However, when I think about it, I find out that the movie had entertained me. Even though the plot was terrible, but I manage to understand what the director are trying to convey. Watching this movie makes me happy as I enjoyed the work by Ed Wood. It is still worth watching this movie as it posses sense of humour and everyone can enjoy watching this. It is not so ‘bad’ after all.
