Great plot, but predictable

Rating: Null/10 (20 October 2004)

I love 12 Monkeys.
Hadn't seen it, and friends urged me to. Watching it, I literally predicted almost every scene. Not a usual thing with movies. I can predict often, but never to the degree with this movie. I mean -- I felt as if I had written the script. I still thought the plot was brilliant, I just identified so much with Pitt's character that I knew where the movie would be going. I don't think Pitt's character was insane at all, but genius.
For anyone who doesn't understand where the characterization for Pitt comes from, I recommend reading "The Hot Zone."
He should have gotten the Oscar.
