Overrated!!

Rating: Null/10 (19 March 2002)

I pride myself of being a person who enjoys great movies, not just lame gag comedies or mindless explosion and killing Action movies, chick flix and emotional manipulative trifles aside, i tought that a Beautiful Mind would be a gripping emotional well crafted story...
I WAS WRONG...
It starts Boring and rarely lets up, with a "talented" lead actor playing Nash i wonder what all the buzz is about, i didn´t enjoy his performance, altough it was pretty much what i expected from a 4 face actor(Happy Face, Angry Face, Sad Face & im a serious actor face), at least the film has good supporting roles, Ed Harris, Jennifer Connelly and others, but clearly the STAR uses this film as his "Look at me i can make good movies" movie. I recently read in EW that they considered him one of the finest actors around, if that is true, it saddens me...
What i liked the least is the screenplay, which meant having to listen to predictable and often sappy dialogue (do you think space is infinite, yes i do, how do you know, i just believe so, the sames true for love... come on what the hell is that?) for the 2 hours and more that the film drags on... a tearjerker ending, etcetera this movie did not in my eyes deserve so much praise... but ive come to expect stuff like that from Ron Howard, i too loved him as Opie and as Richie Cunningham, but i dont enjoy his movies and i didnt enjoy this one. This is just proof that a movie can be marketed as a great movie, an eventually the critics and the audience believe it as so.
