Naaah...we've seen all this before.

Rating: 3/10 (18 October 2003)

I didn't like Beautiful Mind and I think it's a terribly overrated film. Crowe's performance is the only things that saves it for me.
Basically this movie is one more Hollywood cliche - with the character depiction and development, the generic ending, the BORING generic music in the exact moments as expected. Perfectly tailored for mass consumption. The peak of all predictability was prof. Nash's speech when he receives the Nobel Prize - "love is the essence" - what a boring and unimaginative thing to say at the peak of your life. As a whole, this film adds absolutely nothing to the cinema world and does not deserve the high rating it has been given. (3 out of 10)
